Wonderful stories, beautiful quilts, and darling Norma softly purring in the background. Delightful! I’m still smiling. Thank you so much, dear Kate. You’re a treasure!!

That is the BEST story about the Mark Knopfler quilt...that you got to see him perform on the last days of finishing the quilt and then the turn of events that led to him purchasing YOUR quilt! Love it!

Today has been a dreadful day. 3 months ago today my husband passed away. Haven't stopped crying all day. Listening to your cat purring away has helped calm me down. Please thank her and give her a hug from me.

The Last Homely House East of the Sea You (and your cats) have helped me a lot the last few days since I discovered that you. I am not a sewer or a quilter. I am teaching myself to sew from watching YT videos, I also want to learn to do patchwork and quilt. My aim is to eventually make a memory quilt with my husbands Tshirts.

Such beautiful quilts. I love to hear your stories. Love love all your videos. Please keep them coming. I love hearing the cat purring also. Thank you Kate.

When you said that Mark Knopfler owned your quilt I actually said ‘no!’ out aloud! What a fabulous ending for a fabulous quilt!

Holy Toledo, Kate! You're one of the most prolific fiber artists I've ever seen or heard of! What beautiful work you do. They will all become "heritage pieces". Thanks for sharing! xxx

Ahhhh! My dear Aunt Kate! You're such an artist with such a beautiful spirit about you! Much love to you.

I am also a huge Mark Knopler fan and your quilt story was a fantastic fairy story with a happy ending...you inspire and instruct me with every single video Much Love to you

It's a joy to hear your stories and to watch your beautiful work. Thank you. You are gift!

What a wonderful story of your quilt going to MK.

That was a lovely storytime, Kate, and dear Norma got her voice in there too. I love to hear her purring. And WOW! nearly at 8,000 subs too. That's a massive increase in a very short time. Just goes to show that craftworking is a universal language. Your efforts to speak to everyone are much appreciated.

What a great idea: quilts to the floor. I've not seen that before, but I do learn something new from each of your videos. Thank you for sharing the stories and photos of your spectacular quilts.

So very beautiful ! And your story behind them !

What a great video and story. Thank you.

What a great Mark Knopfler story! Love his music. And, what an *honor* for him to have one of your quilts, Kate!

Hi Kate, I really enjoyed the telling of the stories of how these quilts came about. I find you such an inspiration, when I first came across your channel I knew I had found someone to watch and listen to that was very special.

What great stories. Mark Knopfler? WOW!!!

What great stories! Thank you for sharing!

Love these quilts. Love Mark Knopfler. Amazing story that just makes me happy that he bought your quilt! Just so amazing!

Norma's motor running is so calming.......quilts are fabulous.

Gorgeous quilts. I love the color wash effect. The quilts truly glow. Beautiful work, thanks for sharing.

Your Liberty Quilts and stories were very interesting! Thanks for sharing. I bet you had some amazing times in your old craft room above the Café'. It would be amazing to have room to spread out one's quilts to enjoy and make decisions. Have a great week Kate!

Norma purring as the background to this video is completely sweet. I only know Mark Knoeffler as the person who did the sound track to Local Hero. Clearly, I need to seek out more of his music. I am so glad that he got "his" quilt!

What an incredible story about mark Knopfler and your quilt! So many beautiful quilts, Kate! TFS the inspiration!

Yay , love your stories. Your quilts are amazing. I so love my Liberty lavender bag!

Kate, your so admired and by me also. You fill my heart with joy watching you, and listening to your beautiful stories. Love you sweet Kate. From Rochester,New York (Upstate). Your quilts are lovely!

I hear and see the dedication you put into your quilts. I am a hand quilter and could absolutely feel the hours of stitching. I will be showing this episode to our quilt group for the Liberty fans. When you have as much information in your head as you do; you are bound to not recall it for the moment. Thank you kind Lady

No need to reply. Just a quick thank you to you and Norma for inviting me into your home. It was lovely having a cup of coffee while listening to your quilting adventures. It's such a great start to my day.

Enjoyed the color wash quilting. Beautiful 1-25-24.

your mark knopfler quilt is gorgeous, and the fact that he bought it is just the coolest thing ever! awesome. (edited to add: p.s. - i could listen to you all day.)

I am fascinated by the way you quilt and the love you put into them.

Your quilts are absolutely GORGEOUS! 💕💕💕 You are very creative and I love your eye for mixing color. Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹

Excited to see your colour wash quilts. I was in my PJs when watching. "Working from home" yes! As always a delight to spend time with you. I'm still binge watching the early vids and will join you now in real time as well. Happy days Kate💐

The cat's purring is such a wonderful background to this video. Your quilts are beautiful studies in color values. Thank you for all the info--from what "bump" is, to how to go about quilting a large quilt by hand.

I appreciate your talent, and ease with which you share your beautiful pieces.

Thanks for this video. I also enjoyed hearing Norma's happy purring through it all.

Love your color wash quilts. Liberty Fabric is so beautiful. So enjoy your videos.

You work is so remarkable..... and so beautiful... wish you would show us how you do your quilting... i love your stories... Your cats are awesome.. God Bless

I could listen to you all day! Lovely!

Wow, the Mark Knopfler quilt is stunning, and what a story! I am also a huge fan!!

Such beautiful quilts. Thank you for sharing.

Dear Kate, thanks a lot for sharing the stories behind your wonderful quilts. I really liked each of them. I also Like that Mark Knopfler is owning the "Mark Knopfler Quilt" - so awesome. 😉 All the best from Germany xoxo Stephanie

Your colorwash quilts have prompted me to collect fabrics for a colorwash quilt. I do love when you show and discuss Liberty fabrics. Love your videos!!!!💖💖💖 and your kitties.

Love your description of your pictures. What a joy to hear!

That was a fantastic story! These quilts are so beautiful and your spirit shines through them!

I just got around to listening to this account of your Liberty Color Wash Quilts. Fascinating, and to work with such a wonderful abundance of a beautiful fabric...few of us quilters will ever have such opportunity. Another reason this channel is so valued by so many.

Oh Kate those quilts are stunning. I'm blown away, and I love especially the Mark Knopfler quilt. I'm also a massive fan. How wonderful that he bought it. I play his videos from KZread over and over. Thanks for sharing this with us. Love from NZ

HI Kate, They're gorgeous, your colourwash quilts. And the Mark Knopfler quilt is allowed to live with the real Mark, how cool is that? I'm also a big fan of him and own some of his albums. My first little quilt is ready, and has brought so many complications that those will last for the next 100 years. He's not necessarily perfect, but done, juhuuu!!! The second one should now be quilted. We had 31 degrees yesterday and 32 degrees today, I can't do anything with quilting anymore. I once searched the Internet for Liberty fabrics. The prices are almost priceless. I particularly like the green Liberty fabrics. How nice that you received many of them as a gift at that time. A large work table and a wall to which the quilt can be pint are, of course, also worth gold. I don't have all that, just a mini apartment. For nothing, threads spread throughout the apartment as a bonus looked like hahah! I wish you a good time, big hug and see you soon Claudia

What an amazing woman you are! So nice to hear about the how and The Who is the recipient of these quilts. So enjoyed watching and listening to the purring of Norma. My she loves you so.

You have the best stories.

Love the stories about your quilts. It was fun to hear that the quilt named "Mark Knopfler" was purchased by him. Of course, I had to see what the Liberty fabric was like. About a month ago, I purchased two different ones - 1 yard each through Amazon. First one is named "Tea for Two Daisy Dance" and the other one is called, "Cottage Garden Forget Me Not". You are right that the fabric is expensive, and these two were the least expensive, but still pretty and I really like them. I can see why this fabric is your favorite. I plan on making pillowcases. Thanks again for the lovely chat.

You have patience to sort all of those squares...The quilts are gorgeous. Those big ones - oh my gosh....the work. Congratulations on the new little one.....how exciting...

The Norma tracks... love the cat purring

What a story!

Loved the quilts and enjoyed the stories behind them! Thanks!

I made my grandsons quilted blankets because boys are hard in their use of things. I made about eight more blanket/quilts for Christmas and baby shower gifts one year. Busy little bee I was then. I have saved clothes to cut shapes from for blankets. It's a wonder what thrift stores offer. I buy used king size sheets or twin sheets to make bed coverings for the summer since a lined blanket would be far too heavy with a top sheet to sleep under. There is a wealth of materials out there waiting for needle and thread. Thank you for your stories and quilts.

I don't think there ever was a quilt without a story. Loved hearing yours. Loved the purring too.

That is a lovely story and so nice that the man wanted to buy the quilt named for him. Your attention to detail is just amazing as is your eye for color. Thank you for sharing the stories that go with the quilts and the pictures of them in their forever homes. Have a Blessed day.

beautiful quilts and a very wonderful story. It is why I watch you, I adore the story telling. Thank You for sharing your life's adventures with all of us who love you and your "Liberty" fabric stash

These quilts are out of this world beautiful. Your work and designs are just unbelievable gorgeous. Your God Given talent of judging and placing your pieces and colors together are awesome. I learn something from each of your videos. Hoping I can remember them whe. I get to start quilting again. Love from South Carolina in the USA.

I have to mention the growth of this channel. Congratulations on over 8000 subscribers and still growing! 👍😄 I love hearing you tell stories and seeing your work. Even if it's still pictures I appreciate seeing them. And Norma's tail started the video!💚

Your quilts are gorgeous. Love them and the story behind them.

Ah, Kate. When I woke up this morning I looked for your next Liberty installment. I was disappointed to not find anything new. Obviously I have now found it and watched it twice! I AM a quilter and appreciate the time it takes to unsew any mistake, and the tiny stitches, well, not anyone’s favorite pastime. Yes, love those nesting seams. You photographs are just great for the lighting making the colors so bright and so intense! I’m going to see Paul McCartney in Las Vegas later this month. I’m hoping he will look at least four inches tall. LOL! Thanks again for sharing your remarkable array of treasures.

that video should be sponsored by Apple Help because I spent an hour on the phone to a lovely chap in Texas called Owen who fixed my iMovie problems for me - it would have been earlier - but what can you do? I hope they show a screen with Paul on - then at least you can see what he should be looking like - he's the coolest guy! xxx enjoy

Very inspirational in more than many ways.

Love the Mark knopfler story and of course the quilts and cushion. You have turned me on to liberty fabric and I have just made one of the window hangings for a small window in my sewing room and it looks great. Thank you for sharing your process.💕

Have to admit that I especially enjoyed the kitty purring in the background. My naughty cats are not cuddly so I enjoy hearing one who is!

Thumbs up for my favourite story teller/quilter, love very minute. The memory lapse made me smile 😊 it’s now part of my beginning of these so called Golden Years 😫. I now have a good start of a collection of 5 1/2 “ squares, not of course all Liberty but I do have a beautiful gathering. I have to get my hubby to help me make a design wall. Your ideas and methods are what I want try to follow as best as I can. I keep my Liberty lavender sachet by my bedside the smell and association of your work is blissful. Thanks for sharing, now I’m going to google Mark Knopfler’s music to see if I recognized it from my past. 👍❤️😊

Loved your Mark Knopfler quilt/story - "money for nothin' (free range) chicks for free" hehe

Love your stories Kate along with Norma purring, such contentment thank you.

They look stunning. The people you made them for are truly lucky. I can't even imagine what a quilt like that would cost. What a story on the Mark Knopfler quilt and how grand it ends up being his. Thank you so much for this series.

Thanks Kate for sharing your stories and the quilts you made . I love them , and is so inspiring that I want to made more quilts .

I love your quilts, your stories, Mark knopfler, tennis, that you give names to everything (no wonder you forget some !). Love from France
