As a resident of the US, when I stumbled across your channel I never gave a thought to the word Homely in reference to your channel. That is because I knew exactly what it meant the first time I watched a video. You are the epitome of safety, warmth, and coziness and your home simply is an expression of the wonderful person you are. Be blessed!

Agree!

I’m an American who read The Lord of the Rings when I was a child and thought it was the most beautiful magical world I had ever stumbled into. I loved the name of your channel and accepted the meaning of homely as safe, warm and cozy just as I did when I read the books because Tolkien was obviously a person who knew what he was talking about. I knew you valued that world just as I did which drew me right into your channel. Cat Rita looks very well and beautiful. I miss the others, seeing them curled up on the window sill.

Keep it British Kate! Homely is just fine! X

Pointe-Claire, a suburb of Montreal here😊. This morning the video of Kate’s visit to Owen & “girl” Rita popped up in my feed, which I enjoyed very much. Very impressed by her will-power in not buying out the entire stock at the Japanese paper store, as I am sorely tempted to do whenever I’m there😍. Getting ready for winter in this neck of the woods too, with no idea what to expect because of climate change🤔❄️💧😥! Nice to see that Kate’s lovely lime-green sofa has expanded so much and that her “homely” house now also has a growing presence in 🇨🇦- 🤗hugs to all!

Another lovely, calming video, Kate. I certainly wish I’d been following you during COVID. I only discovered you in the spring, but you are such a big part of my life. You keep me company most of the time I’m in my sewing studio. I love to see what you’re working on (and have been watching videos from the start of your channel). I also love making bright, cheerful quilts! I was making one for a cousin’s 20’s something daughter. I asked for her preferences - light/bright, patterns/solids, etc. She responded that she preferred light, calm colors. Well, as a you would understand, it was a bit of a challenge for me (in the very best of ways). In the end, she loved it. Stay well; I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next on your list… ❤

Your channel is a place of warmth and love - and what a beautiful family you have that all contribute in many ways.

I’m glad that because of someone asking that question about what “homely” means and your great explanations, I have a better understanding now of the essence of your channel. I Love your explanations about the meaning of this word (homely) in your country. I like that meaning better than the US interpretation of that word. Thank you for explaining. I hope you feel better soon.

Dear Kate, I so appreciate your natural-ness. How nice to be invited in before dawn to sit by the fire with coffee, you and Rita, and feast my eyes on your dressing gown of such gorgeous colors. Thank you for that quiet, cozy moment. I love the plus quilt. It is stunning. Yours is the homeliest house east, west, north and south of the sea! Be well. Love.

It's a great name Kate, Last Homely House! Like Danish Hugge, cozy, safe, warm...lovely! For those on the lime green sofa this evening: I just had my 66th birthday, so there's Black Forest gateaux on offer! You'll need a bowl and a cake fork, but please help yourselves!

what a lovely early morning chat. Yes, you and the lime green sofa , are definitely "homely" x

As a longtime lover of all things Tolkien, I was drawn to your channel by its name. The Last Homely House is a place wherein all good things dwell, so I knew it had to be perfect. I came for the name, but I stayed for you, Kate. You are so warm and welcoming, with the just the right touch of wisdom and wry humor. I’m so intrigued and inspired by all your craftwork and creativity. Congratulations on your newest grand babies! I’m writing from South Carolina in the US where my daughter, another Kate, has just welcomed her second child, my nineteenth!

Welcome! Kate and Anna are just shinny beautiful people.

in the mid 1970’s a British friend visited us in our home for the first time and after a bit said something about it was so homely then immediately apologized thinking she had insulted us. I quickly assured her her compliment touched me deeply. (as I read a lot of British authors I knew what she meant). Indeed yours is a homely house of the very best kind, and we all are all so fortunate to share your lime green sofa. Thank you. Susan

It makes me happy to see Cat Rita on your lap, pressing her little paw to your heart! I hope you will always have a cat to keep you company, especially in the darker and colder winter days ahead.

How nice to see you and Cat Rita. Love that dressing gown you made. What pretty colours in Rita's coat. Hope that head cold goes soon, Kate.

I love watching you live your best life!

When I saw "The Last Homely House" on KZread, I was immediately attracted to your channel and I've been a loyal follower ever since. I'm in my 70's, (and a quilter) and I first discovered Tolkien when I was in college, many many years ago. I always knew what he meant by "homely" and your wonderful channel fits the bill. It's so welcoming, just as the Hobbits were welcomed to Rivendell.

The lime green sofa sounds a bit like the room of requirement at Hogwarts! I love that idea, thank you.

You are a teacher. But I did realize that the title you chose is perfect. Your home is lovely and welcoming.. I am grateful to you for making your art real to me.. Blessings to you and lovely Anna.

Watching your interview with the nice Project Linus coordinator who said the quilts were “hugs” for those who need it…that’s what your videos are for so many of us who watch. Thank you Kate for all the hugs.

Congratulations for having a grand baby boy I am so happy for you .🎉🥰👏💐🍾💗

I've always had cats, since I was small enough to crawl under the stove. They've lived to long lives and had many kittens.. as many as 24 at one time, from Alphonse to Zenobia. 78 years later there are only 5 ancient ones of different lots. Only one of all of them preferred to be an "only" cat, so she lived with a neighbor happily for the rest of her life. Had a cardboard cat when I drove truck. She's patrolling the book shelves. Can't live happily without cats, so I always smile to see yours helping with thread things.

im in New zealand and we use homely here as a warm comfortable nourishing word. my is definitely homely. I love all things hand..home made..natural materials. recycling...very homely xx

I loved all of this. Homely . . . yes! I am homely, my flat is homely, I love to make people feel ''at home'' . . . and they do. I loved this video sooo much, I have been feeling a bit sorry for myself lately, this has bucked me up

As an American who has been lucky enough to visit your country, I'm very appreciative of your explanation of your lovely home. I absolutely adore your cottage and your openness in sharing it all with us. Love the time you so willingly share with us as well as your skills in so many areas!!!❤❤

It would stick with 'Homely'. Your home feels warm, safe, comfortable and welcoming; that is so important. The Lime Green Sofa is a place where we share all sorts of things. Thank you for welcoming me there!❤️

When homely is translated into German it means cozy. I think the name of your channel is definitely fitting. I enjoyed the time i’ve spend on the lime green sofa today.

The first time I found your KZread I knew you did not mean our USA “homely”. Your home is so warm and welcoming. I’ve never minded my long swim to sit on the lime green sofa, in my mind anyway, I am on the sofa getting everything passed along. My great grand parents came to USA from Tetbury. My four sisters and I visited a few years ago, it was so lovely. I love my paper piecing, you have given me such inspiration. Elizabeth

Ah Kate… how lovely and relaxing. I too am an early riser, my favorite color is lime green, and I have a lovely calico cat on my lap - named Jane Austen. I feel like we are friends. 🙏

Kate makes us all feel so welcome we all feel a deep connection to her. She is a great teacher & a gentle soul & we can’t get enough. I have some of the same interests in designers & fabric & have completed 3 quilts after watching her videos. I just ord med card stock to print her plus paper pieces as LOVE her solid pluses. Thank you Kate! 🥰

I stumbled across the Last Homely House while looking for quilt stuff. You see, my mother grew up in north England, met and married my dad during WWll, and emigrated to the US in 1945. And there you were. You were a sort of a peek into my mothers life that I never knew, but very much wish I had. Thank you for sharing your lovely little home and warmth. I wish I had known my mum better, understood her better. You remind me of my mom, had she been a warm and nurturing woman. But she was a terrified girl and shell shocked woman who left king and country. But she might have been you, if she could have. I love you dear heart.

I love the word ‘homely’. In Australia it means comforting, cosy, loving, relaxing. I love your home as it is just that - ‘homely’. When I listen to you I feel the warmth and cosiness. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in. Even though I don’t do quilting, I still enjoy watching you ‘construct’ your quilts. I colour-in and draw as I watch you.

So lovely to see Cat Rita. I too have missed where is Sadie?😢

I love you and enjoy you say what I’m thinking- curl up with kitty, chair early in am and have a gentle day!

Cat Rita is such a beautiful cat, the markings are so unique. Kate our Sunday afternoon visit was very enjoyable thank you very much for sharing a part of your day. 👍❤️😊

Cat Rita is so beautiful. Makes me miss our calico. She stayed with us for 23 years and gave us so much love and joy. Love the plus quilt!

Thank you for this community and I am grateful for it. I’m isolated as a caregiver for my severely disabled husband and look forward to ‘sitting’ with you on the lime green couch. I would surely love being a neighbor to you and join in on your musings and that pond project has me all wrapped up! Thank you Kate from across the pond in Virginia.

As a US citizen I love the term " the last homely house." What the internet has forgotten is that "American English" is not a single interpretation of the English language. If you go from one small town to the next, or neighborhood to neighborhood in large cities you will find dialects, words, meanings, and useages that vary quite widely. Just as there are stereotypes all over the world, there are stereotypes here in the U.S. as well. There are so many more folk who lie somewhere outside and or adjecent to those stereotypes. I think, largely, we are the more quiet ones, the more thoughtful before we speak/write. Curiosity is key to being a lovely human who loves to uncover the deeper meanings of life and peoples. To me "homely house" means a gathering place of lovely creatures. In two day's time here in the U. S. we will be having Thanksgiving. This year I am recognizing the blessings I have in the people encouraging, inspiring, well wishing, and celebrating life alongside me. I am thankful for the internet in that it connects people, though they may be separated by oceans and continents, that are actually more like family. Love from Fayette County, Indiana, USA.

This. Always this

I agree with you about homely house. Please keep it with love. Someone somewhere changed the meaning of homely meaning of comfort of a home and grandmother's apple pie, warm quilts, biscuits and honey with buttér. To a meaning that is bad. When I heard someone saying homely about a person they would be a good person, but who was saying homely about them was to insult. Making them the bad one in my eyes. I would much rather have a homely heart than a heart who insults. Homely is a gorgeous word above some people's paygrade. I love your channel I feel at home and comfortable to visit with my time watching. Thank you.

I was raised by a grandmother whom some would consider "uneducated". She quit school in 6th grade in order go to work and help out her family. Her mother was a widow, a Cherokee Indian woman who had married an Irish immigrant who died. She had 2 younger siblings to help care for during the depression. She taught me to be mindful of other people's customs, and "turn of phrase". Something that doesn't seem to be taught by most parents in the U.S. now. Her home was very humble, we were quite poor (Much more poor than I realized while growing up). I miss that warm and safe feeling I had back then living with my grandmother. I get that warm feeling each time I see your lovely home. It has a calming and warm effect every time I see your videos.

Thank you so much for the lovely chat, it made my week. 😊

As an American, you may call your channel anything you would like. You're so correct that your channel is very comforting. I watch it everyday - episodes over and over and always enjoy .

How beautiful your knitted work and project Linus’ quilts are! And oh my gosh, the plus quilt. I really like it too! Cat Rita is such a beautiful cat! She’s so healthy and shiny looking!

Hi Kate It must be so satisfying to live in a home with so many of your own crafts. Those biscuits looked so inviting. A truly homely house. Thank you for making us feel cosy too🎉💕🍀🎈

Oh my goodness I didn’t realize Cat Rita was on her own now. What happened to Sadie? As a fellow cat home resident I can relate to the ebb and flow of our purrbox friends. I’ve so enjoyed watching yours over the years, especially Norma, who passed away a year or so after my Sam (aged 19) and truly helped me in my grieving. Watching her was kind of like getting to experience him a little bit longer. Thank you for another lovely peaceful enriching homely video Kate. ❤️

Good morning Kate from the U.S. I just found your videos and fell in love with the relaxed, gentle and warm nature of you and your videos. Not hurried and trying to finish quilts yesterday. I gave very little thought as to the word "Homely". I would have used homey but that's me. I also make quilts for Project Linus. It's very rewarding isn't it? Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and bring us into your home to sit by the fire and sew.

I enjoy watching your videos, Kate, and this one was awesome. Today, it was like the adult version of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood (for kids entertainment.) Following the warmth of your morning fire and coffee to baking shortbreads, sewing and sharing quilts, knitting and kitty rubs (while my doggy was cuddling with me and getting hugs, pets and belly rubs) to ending your day. I felt like I was on that lime green sofa enjoying it all together with you.

What a lovely video Kate. Thank you. You mentioned that Cat Rita is your only cat now. When did Sadie pass away? I must have missed her passing. I'm very sad. I love coming into your home. It is so warm and inviting.

❤I love the story Kate ,never change! You do you, you are our friends. We love you, truly!!!

Mine too!

Kate, the story of words having different meanings in different English speaking lands, reminded me of when I came to the UK to meet my Scottish pen pal when I graduated High School. Lilian had advised me to bring plenty of "jumpers". Here in the US a jumper is a dress that one wears over a blouse. I only had one, but I dutifully packed it. Fortunately for me I also happened to pack a nice warm sweater, lol. :)

I live in Canada and over the years, I have noticed that the British people use homely instead of homey, but that’s okay, I knew what you meant. As long as we understand each other, it’s all good. Really enjoyed your video today. Love all the little quilts you made in your mom’s honour. She would be so proud of you. I love you cat, she is the same kind as my first kitten as a little wee girl. For the life of me, I cannot remember what happened to her. I wish I could get up as early as you and go to the bed so early as well, but I doubt it ever happens. I go to bed late and I sleep in. Your scones looks delicious. Thanks for a great video.

I was in the middle of reading The Hobbit for the first time last year when I coincidently came across your channel. I had to reread the part where they describe the last homely house. It's so beautiful and your place fits the description perfectly 💕

Love the Plus quilt! Blessed grandson, to receive such a wonderful piece of work from your hands. The breaks of bright crazy pieces among the mostly primary colors gives your eyes a place to rest. Well done,

Visiting you here always transports me from Canada to Northumbria, where I sit on the lime green sofa with this wonderful community at the last ‘homely’ house. Thank you for inviting us, Kate. It is always such a pleasure, and makes my day.

Owning a lime green velvet sofa has always been a secret dream of mine. ✌😊💚

I so enjoyed seeing the many beautiful quilts Kate made for Project Linus. I like to think of babies and young people cheered by her work. What a wonderful woman Kate's mother must have been, giving of her time to cheer others. Now Kate carries on the good works. Soooo dear. Love from Alabama, USA

So enjoyed our fireside chats today. Cat Rita is such a love. ❤

You help me remember my sweet cousin who adored cold rainy weather. The two of us always dreamed of visiting England while we were still able to travel. Sadly she went home to her Heavenly reward in October of 2023. We were so close and I miss her terribly, but I can imagine her with me on your lime green velvet sofa, visiting with you and all your wonderful friends. I am so glad I found you and The Last Homely House.

Having read Tolkien’s books a number of times, I recognized the reference. I’ve lived in California all my life, but my mom brought home used children’s books that were obviously written in the the UK, so I understand both British and American meanings to the word “homely”. Thank you for your wonderful KZread channel, which I only discovered a few months ago.

Good Morning Kate. I really have enjoyed our chat today. The lime green sofa is so comforting and warm. Your explanation of your channels name is wonderful and speaks to who you are brilliantly. Your shortbreads look delicious! Your Linus Project quilts are adorable. I've been waiting to see your plus quilt project. I'm excited to see it again. ❤❤😊

I am from the USA and I didn’t understand at the beginning but after you explained, I love the title. I think most people do when they understand. I love your channel and keeping up with all of your many activities.

Lovely to hear the reason behind your channel’s name! I’m American and your house is anything but homely (in the American definition). I love the explanation for the lime green couch! Thank you Kate!! For sharing your colorful, crafty life with us!

The first time I saw your title I got that deep sigh, warm feeling because I've known all my life (New Yorker growing up) the definition and your channel lives up to the title. I come here to sit on the lime green sofa and breathe...in AND out...thank you for all your sharing...and I hope you continue to feel better...

Homely is a lovely name for this wonderful channel. It was a pleasure to see Rita looking so well. What a beauty she is. 😊 ❤

You are my tranquility for sure…

Thank you for posting and sharing. I live in Miami but was born in New York. I so miss the seasons...your fire reminded me of late autumn in New York. I enjoy visiting with you so much. You are the only crafty person I connect with. 💕

Thank you for your post. Although as a Brit I understand the word ‘homely’. I believe your explanation of all of your “vocabulary” is terrifically important in your “cottage” in the NE of England where I spent 37 very happy years. My life has been filled by the joy of fabric and yarn which I am thrilled to be passing on to my grandchildren. (My eldest granddaughter has begun her yarn stash. Fabric stash already in creation). Your ‘homely house’ is absolutely my joy. A garden, fabric, yarn and peace of mind. A homely world.

Oh goodness. I remember telling a work colleague about your channel when I found it six years ago. Seems like forever ago. Hope you feel better soon. I am so sorry to hear that you do not have Sadie anymore.😢 I missed what happened to her. Bless you and Cat Rita for finding your way together. I am glad your quilting continues to bring you and us on the LGS joy.

Hi it’s Marian,so glad you’re feeling better missed you last week. I love it when you cook one of my favourite videos

This is my favorite type of video that you make. Just a chat and showing your daily doings. Minimal, if any editing . I don’t need entertaining, just a bit of togetherness, even if there are many miles and an ocean between us.

I just recently came across your channel, and am loving the low key comfortable manner you have. When I first saw “Homely”, like you said, us Americans give it a negative connotation, but after watching your (rather MY) first video of yours, I just assumed it was a regional thing, because “HOMEY” is how I felt, so I haven’t given it another thought since then. I do so enjoy your little bits of your home life interspersed with everything else yo7 share. Thank you, from across the pond. ❤❤

Thank you Kate, as always you have inspired me. I have been thinking of making a Project Linus quilt using my mother’s quilting fabrics as she made quilts too. Another lovely episode all nice an cosy.

Awww! I didn't know cat Rita was the last cat you had. Somehow, I missed that. Maybe she needs a friend? It's been so lovely to see various kitties snoozing in the background, and of course, I really miss Norma. I envy morning people. I'm definitely an owl who tries to be a lark. Now that I'm retired, I confess I don't try too hard, but I do wish I were a morning person.

In the USA southern states, it's meant to be an insult to refer to someone or something as homely, but, I've always thought 'homely' sounded like a warm , comfortable, peaceful place or person. I love the name of your channel. I love your calm and neighborly manner of conversations.

I love watching your videos . It feels like I am in your room with you chatting away to me. Its so cosy and I love sitting on the lime green sofa with rita. Beautiful xx
