Kate: I am a long time quilter who has become disabled to the point that even my arms hurt to move. However, watching you create and your calming voice start my day with such a positive mood. You motivate me to push through the pain and get into my fabrics and find something to sew and quilt. God bless you for being my positive motivation and allowing me to feel as if I am in your home with you being in a happy place. I love to start my day with you.

Arent you sweet. Any friend of Kate's must be special.

I use old sewing machines they work better than new ones and forever My treadle is as old as me 1948 :-)

My friend and I took a road trip and visited Jordan’s Fabrics in Grants Pass Oregon and other quilt shops along the way. Jordan’s shop is a really nice place. Tons of fabric and customer service is the best.

@Sew Many Things Quilt Shop Visits are a favorite hobby of mine. Home is Longview WA. Jordan’s was our destination but we stopped in Albany and Corvallis and Jefferson to name a few. Also Sew Cute Quilting in Dillard. And a must stop is Rice Hill for ice cream. COVID is causing closures and schedule changes. But this won’t last forever. Happy quilting to you!

What a precious gift to your friend & the lovely heart ❤️ inside. She will treasure it I’m sure Thank you for making it look so easy mark of a good seamstress 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Beauty is in the eye of the holder and I am beholding your gorgeous cushion! Love green and pink also.

I have a feeling Norma knows ALL there is to know about quilting! ☺️🤓little snoopervisor. 💕

Really enjoyed tutorials on Log Cabin for a cushion! Fun and learned what to do after you fold the cushion over the sides! Thanks again, Kate! Love those colors too! - Sandi Myer from Florida for now😂

I enjoy visiting you from across the pond. No matter where we are around it world, we can meet and have a conversation because we all understand the love for quilting and are familiar with Donna, Jenny, and Bonnie. I love this projects where you gather what you have and create something lovely. I'm busy making for Christmas. Wonderful.

Norma came by for helping with the design elements. Her advice is invaluable.

You are absolutely amazing!!! Just love how that cushion turned out. Phillipa will have to bring it when she visits the LGS so we can all admire it. Loves to all!!

Another lovely video, thankyou Kate. Coincidentally I made a log cabin block today in Christmas fabric as part of a table runner. I love your approach to creativity and for not caring about the quilt police! I agree with Jenny, if anybody looks inside your quilt and criticises your seams “they’re not your friend!”. 😂

I recently found your channel, and I absolutely love it. I am pretty new to quilting, just started an EPP quilt for my bed and like you I absolutely love the hand stitching, I find it’s so calming just like crochet and knitting, which I also do. Watching you is like being a friend in your house and it’s so wonderful, thank you for making the Internet a lovely warm, cozy home.

Cushion cover came out so pretty! Thanks for sharing!

Log Cabin is my favorite of all,the quilts blocks!!💜💜💜

Ann Kathy oh silly me thanks for that

Oh my gosh, I love Bonnie Hunter! She did a presentation at our quilt guild and she was a hoot! I’ve made several of her quilts and downloaded her patterns from her website. She has a log cabin block called Crayon Box that uses lots of bright colors. I too use the Go Fast Foot, aka Quarter Inch foot. Mostly because it lets me go fast; I don’t have to look at the line on my machine. Oh my goodness! Your Inside Love. How precious! I can see the smile on the person’s face if for some reason this is taken apart, and he/she sees the heart. Bless you!

It’s beautiful, Kate! I love pinks and greens together as well. It’s just like a garden!

.... you're so thoughtful and enthusiastic...... you're a "feel good" kinda woman Kate J !

Fantastic way to use scraps up 👍🏻

Lovely use of those scraps and the inside heart is gorgeous! Lucky recipient!

Fab cushion Kate but what's even more great is how well you are looking now. Thanks to you and your for all of the positive vibes. Lynne (Sunderland) 💋💐

Love what you showed the log cabin with scraps, from beginning to end. The sewing and quilting was best and great with a cushion to beginning. Thanks, Kate!

Kate, Thank you for being patient & sharing your skills & sweet conversations with us! Blessings to you & your family.

Kate your attention to detail is extraordinary ! ! The little heart inside is just so very sweet, "she won't know it's there but I will" ! ! That just warmed my heart ! ! I just loved how Phillipa hugged it when you gave it to her. I am sure she will treasure it always ! ! ((hugs))

Kate you have just showed me how to make a quick and easy cushion,God bless you ❤ thankyou for sharing your videos, greetings from Australia 🌏🦘 Adelaide South Australia

Thanks for the tip about the most ends+adding the new piece!!! Yay!! Makes so much sense.

Brilliant. I'm inspired to try!

I love your videos. I even comment verbally while watching 😂. You have many wonderfully colored scraps.

This is beautiful and I love the secret heart on the inside. The way you finish the edge on the back is brilliant! Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful. Watching you craft is so relaxing. Thank you so much for giving my busy mind a rest.😘

Kate, I'm not even a quilter (dressmaking and knitting are my things), but I find your videos so calming. Thank you for being here in these strange times x

Oh now I really enjoyed that Kate - and I never realised why it was called log cabin - now I know!

I have been quilting for 50 years. Made many log cabins. Never heard that rule of add next strip to the “3” side. Amazing. Never too old to learn. No more mistakes and ripping for me. ❤️

I'm in a hot cocoa and snuggle under a quilt on the LGS kinda mood today, LGS Mates! *passes around the cocoa and marshmallows!*. Kate, this is absolutely gorgeous! I love the log cabin blocks. I've been making scrappy log cabin blocks for bowl cozies recently, I super duper dig them! And the heart on the inside of the cushion is amazing. I also love that we can see bits and bobs from other quilts you've made on the channel, and the piece from John and Anna's quilt is precious! An absolutely gorgeous cushion cover, thanks for sharing with us.

This is NO disrespect to our transatlantic quilting u tubers (love Jenny Doan et al to bits) but it's so nice to hear an English accent on-line, especially a Northern one. I've just discovered your channel and I am in love with it already. Your easy going style suits me fine, as I'm a bit of a 'gonzo quilter' with an aversion to precision work - though I am quite fussy about the end result. Only problem - I've spent an entire afternoon drooling over your tutorials. But time well spent! You've given me the boost I need for the next few projects.

You are just the best .... I've so enjoyed watching you do this and it's beautiful . Thank you for your friendship .... Because that's what it feels like 💚💖💚💖💚💖

I’m like you Kate I like to watch the experts and you do pick up little tips and hints they all make wonderful quilts I have also been watching the quilting marine and he tells you he is not an expert and always say remember folks it only material

aww I love this kind of video I have about a pound of little scraps my gma gave me still finding new ways to use them.

Beautiful Kate Thank you again for a lovely sewing / chat session Cheers 💐

Beautiful! When I do log cabin for small items like cushions, I sew it directly to a piece of fleece (which becomes the backing). This way, I sew and quilt in one step! The center square is the only one I pin on to make sure it's absolutely straight - I do everything else the same way you do. Such a great gift!

Love this!!! I'm going in my Studio right now and making these for Christmas gifts!!! Thank you! You are a joy to warch!💕

Very nice Kate, I like how you put love into all you do! Thanks for all your sharing. I enjoy my spot on the lime green sofa during our visits. Thank you for all your love and friendship you give to all of us. Enjoy your day 😘

Kate, you truly invite us into your happy place and share your wonderful way of playing with fabric. So comforting; thank you!

Look at Norma checking you are doing it right lol xx

Putting the heart in is the most wonderful RAK I've ever witnessed. Lovely video🙂😍🙂

Love pink and green and pink and brown

I'm sliding into the lime green sofa, late as usual and have decided to adopt the twin of this lovely cushion in my imagination😊.

Lovely! So sweet of you that tiny secret heart!

Beautiful work. How lovely that you put a secret heart on the inside for your friend! I’m sure she will treasure this unique, hand-made gift. Thank you also for sharing the helpful tips on making a log cabin pattern - much appreciated! Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.

Beautiful work,thanks for showing me how to make the log cabin pillow top.

Kate - as you create your Log Cabin masterpiece I will be here snipping the dog ears off my batik HSTs. You and good ol' Norma are having way more fun than I.

Anna s very sweet and so is Norma . I love you like a big sister . Thank you for making a fabulous vlog channel ! X

I have watched this video before and the end result is so lovely that it is worth watching it again.

I love watching your podcast. Your voice is so calm and soothing, and your tips and tricks help this “quilter wannabe” feel more confident😊 Just what I needed to watch on this New Years Day.

You are so talented Kate & it makes me happy watching you sew the beautiful pillow over! Thank you for bringing us all along with you😊

Thankyou so much Kate....loved stepping through that with you!

I love how you approach sewing. So matter of fact. Thank you so very much.

Love it. Love the cone flowers

I love the idea of the secret heart - I used to do that with all the cloth dolls I made in the 90s. I really like how you put a pieced border on the one end to be an accent on the outside of the cushion opening. John did a lovely job choosing Anna, she's more like another daughter than in-law (or in-love as I call mine - though mine aren't as sweet, sadly).

So beautiful!

Love my vintage machines, no computers to go fooy. I have a 1957 singer slant 501a that my mother bought new for $300ish. It runs like a charm and will go through any weight. I use it all the time and it always brings back memories of my mom. When I was too young to use the power pedal my dad (an engineer) rigged up a crank for me made of coat hanger wire and a big spool.

Beautiful...thanks for the fabulous tip ...the 3 ended side 💐

Wow! you made that look much easier than I imagined it was to do. How fab! Now I can do the same for a Christmas present! Thank you so much Kate and a Very Happy Christmas, stay safe! 💚🇮🇪☘️
