Awww Katie dariln' please don't apologies for who you are or what you do. No one else can make you happy. No one else pays your dues. How you live life is no one's business but your own. If they don't like it they don't have to watch. Who you are is why so many of us watch your channel. We love your style.

Dearest Kate, I am so blessed I have found your channel. I have learned so much from you. I have silently been watching and finally subscribed to the channel. For the last 3 weeks, my children and I have been binge watching all your old videos. This weekend we watched the series you did on “mom’s quilts.” I don’t think I have cried as much as I did watching it. What a beautiful legacy your mom left for you!! What a beautiful job you did finishing her work. They were all simply stunning!! ❤ My name is Misty Dutton and I am the momma of 12 kids, for the state of Ohio in the United States. 11 girls 1 boy. I see a lot of myself in you. I love seeing you excited about a project! I get the same way! Anyway sorry for the long post, just wanted to say I love your channel and all the great things you are doing! You are such a blessing to us all. I hope you have a blessed week. We will be in touch soon. Blessings from Ohio❤

Working on lots of projects at once helps prevent repetitive stress on your hands. In case anyone needs an excuse!

I like that...."I can do it, I know I can." I had to change a flat tire on my car. First time with this car. The tire is up under the back end, and I had never had to change one like that. It defeated me for a while, but then I just decided, that I could do it, so armed with the not so easy instruction manual, I persevered, and changed the tire! The tire man couldn't believe I did it by myself.

Dear Kate, I am so happy to follow along on your "butterfly mind" journey! It's never boring here at the Last Homely House and the inspiration is deep and wide. There's so much to see and do and make, why limit the sights and possibilities? I, for one, love the suspense of not knowing where we'll go together. Thank you so much!!

You are like a very good friend. You encourage, you teach me and give me reasons to move forward. We work in similar ways, yet you have so much more energy than I do!! You are more patient, you are independent. Sorry you put me in a reflective mood. Hope that’s okay.

Kate, I recently found your channel and subscribed. I could listen to you talk about quilting all day! Your accent is fabulous! ❤ Postage stamp quilts have a special place in my heart it seems. Before giving them a whirl, I didn’t think I would enjoy them at all. Too tedious. But now that I have several under my belt, I’m finding them compelling! I just started a new one this evening. 🌷 I think most quilters/crafters routinely have multiple projects in the works! It’s just the way things work out. 🌺 Painting the wall pink sounds delightful! Very soothing indeed. Happy quilting! Many blessings from sunny Florida! 💕🏖️

I work the same way - lots of projects, different crafts. Han stitching and machine stitching are both meditative but for different moods and times. Love your videos! Thank you for making them. Can’t wait for the jacket to be finished, but no pressure from me 😉😉😉😍🤗

UFOs are a crafter's way of planning to live forever, hehehe.

I admire those of you that can keep several projects going. I used to try, but ended up not getting them done when I had hoped, if at all, when our girls were young, and I was working. So, I just ditched some hobbies, and mainly do papercrafting and quilting/sewing. Finished my last cross stitch kit last summer. I put my papercrafting away for awhile, since boxes of fabric scraps were haunting me. I've wanted to try EPP, since I have a machine now that will cut the hexagons quickly. I am arranging the hexies into diamond motifs, some with 4 (2 different fabrics), and some with 9 that have a center surrounded by a different fabric. Just letting my scraps tell me what to do. I just cut them into 2 1/2" squares, and wrap each cardstock hexie, basting on the back. No trimming into hexagons shapes at all. I'm not even planning on removing the basting. I can pop out the cardstock hexies easily since I punched holes in the centers to insert my blunt scissors and just pull them out.☺️ I am also repairing a quilt for our daughter and SIL. I hope to have that nearly finished by the time I go for ten days to pet/house sit while they are on their longer vacation. I will take my extra scraps I had leftover from making the quilt 16 years ago. It has seen a lot of loving, and a lot of laundering.😊 Both that, and my hexie project will go with me, and I hope to be able to leave the fully repaired quilt when I come back home.😊

I've learned that there are a few ways to call your scraps. Anything under 10 inches square and under is called cabbage. And I decided that strips and small squares must be coleslaw! Coleslaw can be used to stuff pillows or 🧸! In other words, a cat cushion can be made with cabbage and stuffed with coleslaw. I think I Like that Idea! Best wishes for all your projects Everyone!

Hi Kate; I am currently on a staycation at my son’s house. His British Bulldog, Watson, watched your video with fascination. He never moved from my lap. You have a new fan.

If we ALL worked the same way or enjoyed the same things, the world would be a very boring place. Keep being who you are!

You look so healthy and happy, Kate. So glad. You came through your struggles beautifully. Not surprised but definitely relieved. Agnes looks like mini mom. So cute.

No apology needed for the way you choose to work, Kate! I love how your mind works! You are unique! ❤ x

I hadn’t realised how much the curtain lining colour influences the whole effect. I just thought that particular curtain had many more green fabrics in it. I imagine a pastel pink lining would give a lovely rosy glow to the new room, especially in winter. Happy making, Kate 🌸

My mother once complained “Don’t you ever finish anything?” and it hurt terribly. She’s been gone 17 years but the harsh comment is still there. I have several projects going too, even finish most to gift to family at Christmas and birthdays. So NO to any guilt trips! Maybe it just takes a very intelligent person to keep up with them all! I will claim that bit of wisdom and pass it on to you as well. Thanks for the inspiration,Kate!

I have had this comment from someone in the past as well. While it wasn't my mother, it still got to me. But I too love the process of so many things, so finishing them is lovely, but like losing am old friend! The only thing that stresses my making mind out is if I have to do something on a timetable. It actually makes me take longer to finish these things ad they have a negative connotation to them then and I don't enjoy the making process. I've learned with my grandchildren to make things a lot larger so I don't have to get stressed it's not going too for them by the time I finish. My kids are getting used to how I work now they are adults! Enjoy your makes!

Your way of doing things suits me just fine. ☺💕 It makes my mom (and the man I live with) crazy with the many different projects I have going. It makes me very happy to know I can pick up my knitting, tatting, EPP, weaving, spinning wool, sewing clothes, crocheting doilies or quilting when in the mood. Hugs from Washington state.

I love the way you think and live. I wish I had discovered you earlier, but I really needed you now, so thank you. I will enjoy getting caught up.

I'm with you, Kate. Nothing worse than feeling you're on a production line with a scheduled due date. But.. I'm retired, so I can organize my time any way I want. Thanks for telling us how you do the curtain blocks. I've been admiring them so much, as you move around the room. I'm glad you showed us the lining and the way you've hung them. I'm still curious how you attach the lining to the new curtain. Just lovely. So good to see you doing well.

Thank you, Kate, for this video. I only found you recently and, so far, I LOVE YOU!!!❤ 😀 You're after my own heart! I've wondered about those curtains and and am significantly pleased to hear how you came to put them together. I love them... and they clearly reflect you! I love how you don't let anything go to waste. As you said you'll be doing something with the small scrap strips from the curtains project, I thought of pillow covers. If you had those curtains in a bedroom or living room, it would be lovely to have just a couple of pillows covered in the same design. 3 or 4 might be too many, but 1 to 2 would add just the right touch for cohesion. I'm eager to see what you decide to do with the scraps! Love listening to and watching you. Thank you SO much for taking the time to share who you are, what you do and how you do it. You're a clear and articulate teacher! Thank you!!!❤

In the past, I always forced myself to finish one project before I started a new one. Then I started to look at needlework channels, specifically crocheting and knitting and I learned the delightful terms wip- work in project and ufo-unfinished object. These terms let me give myself permission to have more than one project going at a time. Its so freeing. So, I understand the fact that you have multiple irons in the fire.

I like phd (project half done). “So, what are you up to at the moment?” “Oh” (carelessly) “just working on my PhD.” 😁 Carelessly. Carelessly. Have I spelt that right? The more I look at it the more odd it seems but the dictator is spelling it exactly the same as I did. Is it like doing lines at school? After a while all the words look wrong and you find yourself seriously asking someone “how do you spell ‘the’ “.

Love the way you work Kate I don’t feel guilty now as I’ve got lots on the go some I’ve had for years but I like to know they are there.

To quote Forrest Gump, your channel is ‘like a box of chocolates’ that has all of my favourite flavours. Every week I’m inspired to continue pursuit of a more creative, fulfilling life. This morning when you talked about your creative process, it reminded me of the late Cat Bordhi and her Rio Calina Cowl, which is a free pattern on her website. I think you would enjoy it when you’re looking for a new knitting project. Cat is gone, but her daughter and some dear friends and colleagues are keeping her creative spirit alive. ❤️

Kate you're a woman after my own heart. I also have many projects on the go. I certainly don't mind you're moving around your projects. I'm thinking I might make some of these curtains for my conservatory. It's lovely to see you with a smile on your face and happy about what you're constructing.

I love what you are doing so don't change. Things take time so it's good to have several different projects on the go. Take care.

Glad i found this one again because im ready to make. Thank you Kate.

Hi Kate, I’ve not been on the limegreen sofa for a while. I lost all my enthusiasm following the death of my beloved mother in law on 30 December this year. I was surprised that when you asked what colour the back porch would be, I said pink, then obediently put my hand up. I’m still not ‘right’ I was making a paper pieced hanging of anemones for her. It’s unfinished yet, still in the bag, she was bedbound and she loved the colours. I don’t know when I’ll be able to carry on with it, I spent many happy hours in my front bedroom/sewing room with her, listening to books, chatting, sewing. She was 93, a good age, a very precious friend. That project just has to wait until I’m ready. Some things, there’s no rushing them. Take care xxx

I love your postage stamp curtains. Kate, you are so lovely to watch. I love how you talk as if each one of us is there in your sewing room.

I don’t think that we don’t understand your butterfly mind, we just want MORE of you! I so enjoy your projects and inspiration. I wonder how many projects have been inspired by you?

I don’t think you need luck it’s quite easy and I find addictive and portable also , I have just about finished my first project,a double quilt in hexagons , really enjoyed it so far

You are so easy to listen to, Kate!! And your videos are so easy to follow!!🩷🩷

I understand the sewing machine experience. A very satisfying experience that I really don't have words to express. And I learned many years ago that to go with the natural flow of my own life rhythm brings great contentment.

Hands up - I guessed pink as well. Don't forget gardening, your family, your cooking, decorating and so much more. I think being able to learn and enjoy many different things indicates intelligence, as does an interest in the world around us - science is my addiction but there are so many interesting things in the world. I watch a fellow in Florida make old fashioned candies - the ones with the picture in the middle - I'll never make candy but it's fun to see how he does it. Your interests are part of your charm. I'd be bored if you only did one thing. Today (July 4) I saw a photo of the Queen wishing us a Happy Treason day for our Independence day. She called us Peasants. It made me laugh because she's entirely too polite to say such a thing in public. I did like the video of her interacting with American tourists who didn't recognize her, but asked her to photograph them with her assistant because he had actually met the Queen! LOL Lots of interesting things in the world and thanks to the Internet, we can meet lovely people all over and learn many new things.

Oh Kate I'm right there with you..my husband ask why don't I finish a project before I start another one...silly what fun is that. My favorite seat in my house is in front of my sewing machine. I also love hand sewing and knitting. Love taking that outside and knitting or hand sewing. So Kate that's why the LGS survives.

Hmmmmm, I need new curtains in my living room . . . I think I've been inspired!

Kate, thank you, I thought i was only one who "procrastinated" and that I was so bad not finishing something immediately. I have so many projects on the go and 50+ ideas mulling around in the head. Eventually I finish everything too

Like you, I have many things "in the works" at any given time. Kudos to you that on top of everything else you create, you find time to do videos for You Tube. I find I tell fewer and fewer people what I am doing as they don't seem to "get it". I asked one of my neighbors what she did for a hobby and she said "nothing". maybe watched an occasional thing on the TV. I take care of my husband who is ill and in a wheelchair. I love to cook and try new recipes, I sew (clothing, toys, quilts and small quilted projects) , I knit, crochet, needlepoint, embroider, cross stitch, refinish furniture, upholster, paint (acrylics and watercolors), keep house, shop, lots of gardening (I am currently hardscaping a walking path around the house and garden)...but I am never ever bored. So you just keep up what you're doing and enjoy your life. I understand completely.

I always need lots of different projects. Knitting, crochet, spinning, painting too. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about all of your works in progress.

I have had lightweight cream curtains for decades. Your curtains inspired me to start a beautiful mosaic for my 10 foot wide kitchen curtains behind my sink. This is so wild for me!

Another lovely video. That was an adorable shot of Agnes doing her grocery shopping! She’s a mini Kate! 🥰

I love these curtains. Don’t know if I have it in me to make them, but I love watching you, love your tutorials, and all the wonderful ideas you have .

I do lots of different project along with each other: I‘ve three or for knitting projects on the go, a quilting project, two cross-stitch pillows, spinning, sketching, to name just the more active ones. That way I can put down a project that bores me and work on something else. Your wonderful curtains actually got me to use the postage stamp for seat cushions for our garden chairs. I‘m hand-quilting those right now. Happy sewing an painting and IKEA-building to remodel that sunny corner of your house, dear Kate!

Hello, hope you are having a great day

Hello Kate. Just finished watching your postage stamp quilt. Knowing how much you enjoy your birds in the garden, I have a tip for you to help birds in general, make their nests. I keep an empty tissue box by my machine and when I cut stray pieces of thread, I just keep them on the box. Come spring time I set the box on my patio and watch the birds land and pick pieces of thread for their nests. Love watching you show. Keep up the good work. One of your friendly fans from across the pond, in Michigan, originally from Canada, in Ontario. Fondly KarenLynn

Your videos are so inspiring! I've recently discovered you and your videos. I'm slowly catching up! I also have numerous projects going at once! Four knitting projects currently! They will all get done eventually! You are very encouraging and because of you, I am going to dip my toe into quilting at some point this year! Please keep doing what you do! I love sitting with a cup of coffee and watching your videos each morning. Like sitting with a friend!

It’s a great deal, Kate! I’m (too) quickly going thru all my tier videos. The last months diary was so entertaining - its so much like sitting and hanging out with a friend - I have to giggle as I find myself starting to say something to you and then realize where I am!

I dip and out of your videos as, unless I'm following something that goes over several videos, it doesn't matter when you post it, the videos speak to something I'm thinking of or something that is going on in my life. You are like a favourite aunt or a really close friend. You have reinvigorated my sewing buzz which I lost during COVID. Thank you sooooooo much 😊 ❤️xxx

Kate those curtains must have taken you at least a couple of years to complete. I’m in awe of you .

Dear Kate. I am delighted to hear that you like having several projects on the go at any one time! I have always berated myself for being so butterfly with things which, I think, stops me actually completing them. I will now work on changing my mindset to embrace my scatterbrain and see if it will help to get something finished. Hugs, lovely lady. Kx

Don’t apologize for how you work. You do you!!!

I think I am living vicariously through you as you have the country lifestyle I want now in my older age. Keep these wonderful videos coming, I think I’m addicted now to all the projects, kitties, and your sweet personality . Thank you for making my days so bright.

Thankyou for sharing your video about your curtains very interesting,going to do some for my windows which are 213cm long but only going to make them to the ledge of the window thankyou you so much happy quilting,sewing and what ever else you try your hand at God Bless you and your gorgeous little cottage ❤ from Australia 🦘🌏

I found you last year while at work when it was quiet and slow. I enjoy watching your channel. I too like scrappy sewing and hand piercing. We are kindred spirits.

I've really enjoyed today's video. Your earlier videos explaining the postage stamp blocks have always been in the back of my mind to get on with it. Just thinking of how long it will take me to do three walls of windows mentally defeats me before I even start. A lot of my ideas get stopped with this thinking. I want to thank you, Kate, for your message that the steps along the way towards the final project do not need to be rushed. It's also lovely how you just dive into so many different projects with the same mindset of 'enjoying the journey' and not racing to the finish line. ❤

You have no idea what a kindred spirit you and I are. I would love to meet you in person and give you a hug.❤ The way you live is what I dream for my retirement. Thank you for showing me it is possible!❤❤❤

I love how you work. No pressure, proceeding at your own time, when inspiration hits. Do you, don’t worry about us. And thank you for doing this channel along with your patrion channels. I can’t buy them so I deeply appreciate that you still share this with us. 💕

I approach my "projects" like I do my reading. I have several, sometimes as many as 5, book that I'm in the process of reading. I have one on my bike, one at my bed stand, one at the sofa, and a couple more scattered here and there...........Mostly because I have different moods and opportunities. My projects take on a similar vision. So , Kate, you're not out of sorts with the way that you do things. Makes perfect sense to me..........lol lol lol. I LOVE that you involve all of us in whatEVER project you're currently working on. It's inspiring. Blessings to you from the New Hampshire/Vermont border, USA.

My sewing machine is up in my room where I'm building my grandsons graduation quilt. Plus reorganizing my mom's room. So I want to thank you for sharing, all the different things that you are involved with.

Thank you for the visit 😊. I'm trying to downsize my sewing and hobby "stuff". These curtains could help alot. Never thought about doing it your way in assembly. Great tip.

Love your many projects. Makes me feel better that my own have been so slow. I enjoy working slowly. The rush to just get things finished wears me out.

I work just like this. I've got to have several projects going on at once. My mood determines what I work on. The process is the most fun not necessarily the finished project

Kate you are a dream I have a friend just like you she skips from project to project and I just love visiting her and seeing what’s she’s up to you are the same I’m so glad i stumbled across you

Kate.....that's what I love about your life and videos....always a surprise as to what we'll see! You'd be boring if you were one-dimensional. You do whatever keeps you HaPPy Kate😁 and I'll keep watching and being envious and inspired. Love. kj

One of the things I love about this channel is exactly this: all the ongoing projects and the great variety of content❤️! ( she said while she grabbed one of her several knitting projects to watch Kate, having left her sewing machine and her sashiko needle and her cooking for the day😄)

I think the curtains look like tiny Tiffany Lamp style. I love it.

Love you Kate, and your ideas! I’ve loved your curtains from the first time I saw them. One day watching your video, you were sitting on your sofa with a quilt draped over the back. I got out my scraps and adding machine tape and started sewing away and away and away till I had enough to start adding a one and a half inch solid color sashing strip, also making it multicolored. I made four pairs and put finished borders all around. I have them in my sewing room with clip hooks that slide on a rod. I love the light shing through and get lots of great comments on them, thank you!,

Having lots of projects is good, love your whole approach. Also gave myself the “it doesn’t have to be perfect” talk the other day, because sometimes that stops me from doing things, but not anymore. Thank you for your continued inspiration on so many levels.

I’m so glad you have given us instructions on your lovely “mosaic tile” curtains which I have admired. I would have cut up small 2” squares and tediously sewn them together !! What a lot of unnecessary work on my part. So, thank you. I plan on starting mine soon. You have another video I’ve seen on the “stained glass” piecing with the French seams. I can’t wait to do those too. So,so pretty. Your videos are so calming. I really enjoy them.

Sitting here whipping the edges of sails for my Ann Woods Handmade paper mache ship and watching and listening. I often listen to you as I sit and work on some handwork. Thanks for giving me something interesting to listen to while working on repetitive projects. :)

I’m also into making many things at the same time and why not ! It’s what keeps our creativity going. Love the curtains Kate xxx

I love your style of working, it’s pretty much like mine. I enjoy the journey of creating, no hurry. 😊. Your granddaughters quilt is just beautiful.

I have a ton of 2.5" scrappy squares and they are being sewn together in a neutral/color combination. Unfortunately, my mind does not work well with leaders and enders, so I just run the two-patches through for days on end. It really is good for the mind - settling things down. As for your scraps, I have a sneaking suspicion that your latest postage stamp project won't even make a dent. Quilt On, and thanks for sharing.

I love your curtains. They remind me of a stained glass window.

So many projects! But that’s how an artist works - on inspiration ❣️ My projects right now are mostly outdoors and it’s so hot I have to go very slow, time to come indoors and sew, ha!! Always a joy to watch you work, thanks Kate!!

Kate,I realize that this forthcoming comment is not appropriate to this present video ,( which I HAD commented on ) however I’m not sure that you would see it otherwise. Again being rather new here,I was catching up on all your past videos . I was not around at the time of the cats’ deaths .I want to offer my deeply sincere heartfelt condolences . I had a cat called Andrew who had lived to be 18 years old. He was exactly the image of Norma. Seeing your old video about her while she was very ill brought bittersweet memories flooding back. My Andrew had been down to five pounds before he died. I know the pain you felt at losing a true friend.again, please forgive the “ intrusion” in this column . I wish I had been a follower back then. Never too late! Love, Marilyn NJ USA

I wondered how your curtains were still so vibrant! Lining! What a fantastic way to use ALL of our scrap fabrics. I love whatever you choose to talk about. Life and our projects come to the fore as we need them to. You are a kindred spirit.

I found it Kate! I’ve been adding a mini post here and there asking for a video of the creating of the curtains! I stumbled on this tonight and am sooo very excited! They are simply adorable!

I said pink! I’m knitting with a pink color way yarn right now. I love going from project to project but mostly it’s sewing and knitting. Some journaling; I have different journals: sewing/knitting, one for each grandchild, and mine. Keeps my brain “young.”

Kate, I love the way you work. Your mind set is helping me not feel guilty about my not completing one project before starting another and just enjoying the process of each. Many, many thanks!

I have a butterfly mind as well! ❤

I really like your curtains Kate. The first time I saw them they brought to mind stained glass windows! I am thinking of trying something similar in my hall. It's really great that you get to use your scraps and end up with a curtain full of memories of past creations 😀

It took me about 3 years to discover that I could like and subscribe when watching youtube on the telly. You have to use the up-arrow and the various options pop up.......doh!

You've probably heard this before, but they look like stained glass Beautiful!

I usually am a finisher of projects, but have a quilt project and knitting project always going on. Love your videos, always.

Hi Kate! I just added you to my Patreon app, yay🎉! I can identify SO STRONGLY with the way you like to work, it has been lovely for me to watch you create all the things, making use of resources on hand, and exploring so many different crafts and interests. I also have loads of projects going all at once, in many different stages of completion, in many different areas of interest. I have never before come across someone who so readily embraces that as the valid and productive way to work. your work space is organized and colorful and inviting. I am going to love following along with you and learning and creating whatever and whenever the spirit moves. -Jeanne D
