Yes and we had a great grandson murdered last August, our oldest son died of asphyxiation in 1981, these calm videos from Kate helps to get through the day. The murdered was Fentanyl.🙏❤️😢

"Get it into your hands, get it out of your head." ~ Kate , is going in my book of quotes 🙌 So very true! Looking forward to watching this EPP quilt grow 😍

Absolutely, Plus I love your mantra of "getting into your hands and get out of your head" and your bold and bright approach ! Thankyou so much for keeping quilting real and simple.

When I began quilting I was determined to only do one project at a time. That worked while I made quilts for each of my 9 grandchildren. After that goal was accomplished, though my mind could just explode with ideas. Currently I have 4 waiting for the quilting, several started, and the fabric for about 7 more waiting their turns. Yes, you are not alone on the green couch.

My husband is an Engineer. He still doesn’t quite “get” the idea as to why I have several projects going at the same time!!! I told him to give it up. It’s just the way my brain works!! Yes, my brain explodes with ideas and I LOVE fabric and ALL the things you can do with it. 😂❤

I can relate, when I started I thought, I won’t work on more than one project at a time. I now find myself having 2 EPP’s , 7 project Linus and three quilt tops all in process. Good grief I have issues now that I typed this lol

I love the peace you bring to every project... No hustle bustle involved.. its the best way to be... thank you for showing us how.😍

Dear Kate, you are just the most lovely human. I love the thought of getting into your hands and out of your head. That always works for me whether it’s any of many kinds of stitching or knitting or crochet. Thank you for continuing to share your life with us. I hope you’ve enjoyed your Sunday 💛

I loved your Plus pattern from day 1. I downloaded the pattern, bought card stock & off I go. My intention was as same as yours to use KF fabric along with Kona solids. When I saw yours in a diff vid using solids with a splash of print ev so often I absolutely loved the look & I am doing mine all solid. Your ideas are always so inspiring & I am only 1 of over 150k who love watching & listening to you. Your family is beautiful & I am so happy I found you. 🥰

"Agnes is now walking around and having *opinions* !" Love it!

❤❤❤ that quilt on the wall is beautiful. I'm legally blind so limited quilting. I love the cross pattern. Agnes is so very lucky. So is your fur baby.

I like the plus shape a lot. 😊 I also like to have a few projects going. I just have to say, Kate, you have very talented hands and such a great eye for color. Thanks for all you share with us.

Pinterest is such a rabbit hole, I have lost many hours in that Warren! I am so looking forward to seeing how your Plus quilt develops. Agnes' quilt is such a delight to look at, it reminds me of Monet's paintings.

Hello Kate, I just happened on your channel recently and you are so charming! Love listening and watching you work and interact with your family. The world needs more people like you.

Ooooooh laying this one out is going to be awesome fun!! I recall seeing a rainbow quilt when mI was about 10, red in one color and violet in the other, simple diagonal lines of blocks working across the whole ROYGBIV. I hadn’t seen anything like it, it woke me up. 🌈 I used to gravitate to the sheets and bath towels section of our local department store, I just have always loved seeing all the colors. Your artistic ethos is so close to my own, though I have a slightly more modern bent abs you’re more courageous with color!! I just would have loved having a mom/mentor like you to teach me all the things, whereas I really had to teach myself everything more than the basics of sewing, cooking, baking, houseplants. My mom was just not into all that. She was loving and generous and encouraging in all the bigger world things, so I became a lawyer and high achiever. But as my life has gone on, I’ve always loved having my hands on fabric or yarn. It’s my home base. ❤

Hi Kate. I love everything you do and I know this project will be absolutely beautiful. I am a beginner and will have to be 800 years old to do all I want to do. Continued blessings to you and your family including cat Rita and Sadie. I lost my little dog of almost 18 years in June named GoGo. I am still devasted. I have had my 97 year old aunt with me for over a year, so don't get as much done as I would like. Gloria from NE Tennessee in USA...

Sometimes, a particular fabric will wait its turn until the right project comes along. The combination of Kaffe and Solids will be gorgeous!

I just want you to know that I heard of you through Carlos and Arne . I don’t quilt , I knit, but not well. I love to paint watercolor whimsical subjects. I love your KZread videos…ALL of them. If I feel stressed, I can soothe myself by watching and listening to you. Thank you, I wish I lived near you and we could be dear friends. Thank you. I don’t feel lonely when I watch/listen to you. Again , thank you.

Thank you, Kate, for reviewing your basting and hand stitching techniques and also for reminding me of the Aurafil 50 thread. As you were sharing your fabric choices, I was thinking, “Now I have to visit her EPP videos again, I’ve forgotten her basting tips.” You have included everything I need to get started except the fabrics. 😂 It will be a magnificent quilt, Kate! Enjoy.

I enjoy watching you sew, I made my grandson a blanket with matching pillow. I learn to sew in Jr. High school 7th &8th grade. I sew for fun . I make pillows for friends for Christmas, at women's camp at church.

Hello Kate. EPP is very addictive and the type of quilting I love. Thank you for putting a smile on my face and peace in my heart today.

I had a toy rat terrier and her name was Miss Agnes Goodwiggles. She was a love of my life! I loved her name. Nice to find another Agnes!

Absolutely perfect fabric for a plus sign quilt! It’s already stunning in my mind. I know what you mean by needing a handwork project. Busy hands create a happy heart. ❤️

Hi this reminds me of my first ever quilt, I had no idea what it was called, and in the end it covered our king size bed as well as down each side. to the floor, and a turn in at the head board. I did that in the early 80s. It became huge. Now I’ve got to decide which of my three children will get it. I absolutely love all your videos.

This video challenged me to try EPP. I made my first PLUS quilt and I am hooked!

Love the new EPP project. It will be beautiful, Kate. I really love the color wash style of designing. I’m going to be sorry not seeing Agnes’s truly gorgeous quilt hanging on the wall when you‘ve finished it. It’s my favorite. Congratulations on reaching 80K sub’s! Cheers!

Ah sweet Rita. Stealing the show! Thanks for showing how to bring the 4 beach houses together nicely.

Quilt for Agnes is very beautiful. Looks like impressionist painting.

I don’t know what fussy cutting is but I like the look of this new project! Thanks Kate for your enthusiasm, it is getting me through a difficult patch, as is my knitting. Xx

Kate stay well you are a friend to so many you make people feel good and inspire

I've watching for a bit. Such a lovely time I'm having. Only quilting for a little over a year. Sewen for 65 years. So fast my teacher's telling me I need a more complicated design. And I am thinking of all the scraps of jelly roll size pieces. I'm going to try this. Writing from Northern Kentucky USA. I love watching. My paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather come from Northern England through from the 1840s. My sister could be your twin. Hi Marcy.

Love it your quilt hanging up reminds me of Batiks. It’s so beautiful n warm looking.I love your way of thinking and sharing your projects with us all.

The colors that you are using for the cross pieces are absolutely gorgeous. I love pastels but I also love bright colors. I can hardly wait to see how you put all the pieces together and in what order. OMGoodness, I didn’t realize until I just looked up and saw that your little “beach house” becomes the cross. Wow!!

I love Kaffe Fassett etc fabrics..bright, rich colors, imaginative and fun from Brandon, super beautiful flowers & fabulous colorations. So glad you do too.

I always have numerous projects on the go from knitting, sewing, cross stitching, card making etc. Love watching your you tube videos!

I really like the new pattern. Pinterest....I laughed out loud when you said , spend a few minutes and then three hours later ! Been there, done that.

So enjoy your Sunday get together. I still can't take the next step to border my quilt. I think you are a favorite as you tell it like it is and make no apology I have several WIP and probably always will. Thank you for being you and encouraging us.

Hi Kate. I started a plus quilt 2 or 3 years ago and got quite a long way with it and then got distracted by something else 😜 You have inspired me to dig mine out and get it finished . Thank you for the nudge 👍🏽

Hand sewing a jigsaw puzzle…..delightful!😻

Really enjoyed this video and I'm looking forward to seeing the progress. Thank you so much !!!!

Lovely, Kate. I just got my paper-piece pack to do an Epp of Jen Kingwell’s Wanderer’s Wife quilt and as excited as I was to get it, I’m now quite intimidated by it! As I was watching this video today, I thought of how wonderful it would be to have you to guide me through each step of it… a quilt-along-with-Kate! Of course I’m doing mine in primarily pinks and greens! xx thank you for such delightful content ♥️

It is a pleasure to watch and listen to you working, you are so very creative , thankyou for the inspiration

Hello Kate, I am enjoying your videos, and think I MUST make a “PLUS” quilt now. Agnes’ quilt is a joy as well. I started a Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt with an extra round of 12 hezxagons, 30 years ago. I’ve been inspired to drage it out and finish it now. So far, there are 23 of them, and I need to stitch them together and see what it looks like. More fun to come!! I do also love your quilted dressing gown - how comfy! Love from Elenore in Toowoomba, Queensland Australia 🌷

Thank you for sharing, nice new EPP-project. Instead of 3 stitches at the end I pull the needle through the last thread loup that I made, and this exactly on the both edges that you want to stitch together. Works perfect.

Kate, I think your choice of Kaffe fabric is stunning for this new EPP project! Will enjoy seeing your quilt take shape. You have inspired me to 'dig out' my EPP project. Also, a Kaffe quilt top only needs borders (my stumbling block!). Thank you for continuing to inspire us! Kathy ❤

Kate you have a lot of patience. Love the quilt behind you so beautiful.

This will be a beautiful guilt. Glad to see cat Rita. She just wanted attention on camera. Hope Eileen an chickens doing well.

Love the idea of the quilt, with winter coming on a good project to sit with in the evenings.

Kate you brought back such an emotional memory of my beloved Mum who died at 54 when I was 21 I’m now 75 In your soft Lancashire accent just like my mums ( busy hands Lass calm head ) she was an amazing knitter sewer crocheter She would have loved this KZread community as I do & would be on the lime green sofa knitting of course Thank you Thank you 😍

Kate, I want to have tea and sit on the lime green couch quilt sewing with you and the all amazing creatives who follow you. I try very hard to get my projects funnies before I start on something new, but it doesn’t work out that way. Some new pattern or spectacular fabric is released and I’m on my way to another project. Kaffe and Brandon make such gorgeous fabrics so how can I resist. I have ordered 3 fat quarters from Tilda and so it goes. Love your videos always!!!

Can't wait to see your new Plus quilt in progress. We all have so many projects that we can wait to start. Thanks Kate.

What a great colorful project to start at this time of the year when the days are shorter and nights are cooler and darker. I took my first class in EPP I am in love with the process and how pattern comes alive. Thank you for sharing Agnes’s quilt and now this one..

I tried to send a pic of my EPP hexagons (started last month) but don’t know how. 😂 I credit this quilt to you because as I was watching you do your granddaughter’s hexagon quilt and you showed some fabrics from Kaffe Fasset, I fell in love with this artist’s bright patterns and decided to do a hexagon quilt out of ONLY his fabric, Free Spirit. It is beautiful! Keep inspiring everyone! You are amazing!

thank you, thank you for showing your jelly rolls (years of stashes)....guilt from my years of stashing/hoarding jelly rolls has been lifted! LOL 😍 I save my thick, wide or thin styrofoam I get from boxed merchandise and use it just like u. Save ur beach house waste corner triangles to use for a 2in square in a square block for a later dolly scrap quilt for Agnes. I started my young gr-children sewing about 3 plus yr olds using mesh plastic canvas, plastic needle and yarns and the both of us choosing a simple geometric design or other. We would sit together for quiet time handsewing, they make a secret/surprise birthday or holiday gift for Mommy that can be displayed on wall as is, or framed. ❤continue to be well. NM

New projects are always exciting! 💗

So pretty with all the colours & patterns! I, too, “get out of my head and into my hands!”😊

Another lovely project.... You have cat Rita who demands attention , I have Buster bluebird who sits on my shoulder and nips me if I ignore him while I am occupied with something ... pets know exactly what they want. 😄🐦🐦

My cats always crash the party. I think I’ll give this a go. Great tv watching project.

My favourite technique and my favourite designers! It's going to be stunning. Note to self 10 UFO's is plenty, mustn't start another...

I know you probably won’t like me saying this but you Kate and Anna are a real role models that go beyond ‘projects’ Both of you just seem give confidence to us. To put it simply you are just nice, kind, real human beings, thank you

Multiple projects at one time? Of course! Keeps everything interesting! As long as I can keep some sort of balance between the joy of starting and the joy of finishing. It certainly doesn’t have to be “one for one” though!

I am so excited to start this journey of another EPP quilt!! I also love color and all of the variations and options that it can bring. I know you are going to really enjoy this process so much!!

Hello! I've watched a few of your EPP videos, and very much love to listen/watch while I work on my EPP hexagon project with my cat on my lap. Your calico cat looks so much like my very first cat, and it gives me warm fizzles watching her love on you. I just subscribed!

My Rosie beard your Rita and jumped up on my lap to look for her! Love the new project. 🇬🇧

Excellent advice from W.C. Fields, about children and animals. I think they only keep us around for our opposable thumbs. Oh sure, we can open doors and use the can opener, but they haven't any REAL use for us unless we're about to pay serious attention to something besides them. If there's a cat anywhere that is otherwise I suspect it isn't really a cat.

Everyone has said everything that I am feeling. Still love ya! Great new project.

Kate, this is so fabulous! Another winner. Thank you so much for sharing, love these videos 🥰. And, i have several UFO projects, nothing to apologize for - we are not hurting anyone by having a bit of extra stuff about! ❤

Hi, My partner was listening when you said you have many projects on the go at the same time. There was a quiet chuckle from him. That is me too. You are not alone. Donna Canberra

I'm with you, Kate! Subtle is not my style! Great to see you.

Kate, you are definitely not the only creative person who has more than one project going at a time. I have at least three to four ongoing. I look forward to watching this new project unfold.

thank you for letting us visit with you. Just being creative and enjoying the talent God gave you. I also have a few projects on the go and it makes me happy.

the hexagon quilt turned out beautifully! congratulations

I love the colours in your new quilt, I love bold bright colours and the Kaffe Fasset lines of fabric certainly fit that bill!

Thank you for a new project I might try , and have the pattern. You are right it was very nice of her to share the pattern with us so we can move along with you. See you next time.

Your new quilt will be stunning. All of us on the Lime Green Sofa have lots of works in progress. As I was watching this episode, I was looking at a few jelly rolls that I have, and to be sure, I am not a quilter, but I will make try my hand and make a bag or two soon. Thank you for sharing your making talents with us.

Looking forward to see this quilt on your wall. Lovely bright colors.

Cat Rita stole the show! LOL 😆 Excited for this new project! Thank you Kate.

I love your quilting projects! They are beautiful! You do really great work! I’m in awe

I absolutely adore you and enjoy watching your videos so much. Louise from Ontario Canada

It was truly magical to see how the crosses went together at the end Kate - really looking forward to this quilt’s journey!

So nice to have you back . Best wishes to all ♥️❤️

Hello, you arrived on my thread as a recommendation. It's been a week, I've watched approximately 40 + videos.

I love EPP. I do it at night watching the telly too. At the moment I’m doing a DWR QAL and starting a QAYG hexi quilt with EPP flowers in the hexies. When I used to cut multiple layers of shapes I use a pritt-stick around the edge to hold all the sheets of card together. You just put a tiny amount along the edge of each sheet so all the sheets are stuck together. Now I have a Cricut and it’s amazing. I can cut the papers and the fabric on it!

So lovely - I agree I can’t do subtle- rainbow sounds fabulous! Have a look at “ sew tites” - Little magnet shapes that hold the 2 EPP pieces together as you sew so your hand doesn’t get tired gripping them together

Thank the good lord and all that is lovely for Kate and a new rainbow epp project. I will miss your granddaughter’s quilt project as well…but so grateful you so generously shared it with us.

I also wanted to mention Cat Rita. She is more vocal than Norma was but she has stepped up nicely to her new supervisory position.

I can't wait to see your progress on this one! By the way, the hexagon quilt on your wall is beyond gorgeous❤

Kate , you are a true quilting treasure to the quilting world!! Thank you for letting me hang out on the lime green sofa!!

Kate, you constantly amaze me. What a phenomenal project. I look forward to following this new EPP project.

Beautiful adventure in paper piecing your crosses. Looking forward to watching the splendor in color develop. Thank you for sharing with all of us on the Lime Green Sofa...pass the tea and scones as we watch Kate create.....blessings.

You could put 2 pieces together x 2 then you would have one long seam when you put them together instead of one piece at a time. Don't know how long it will take you but I couldn't do it. Hats off to you and your patience.
