Lovely to see you and Jack and it was so relaxing walking on the moors and stitching, knitting and drawing with you. Congratulations on such beautiful fabric too. Enjoy your summer, Teresa 🐾🧵🧶✂︎📚💕

Your podcast is a balm. Thank you.

Very enjoyable, peaceful yet stimulating episode. Love the tweedy pieces, particularly the check, that you are using for the background of your beautiful embroidered birds. Makes me want to find some thrifted pieces or old Harris Tweed sportcoats and save the lovely fabric - maybe a patchwork reupholstered armchair, or a rug. Your podcast gives us what feels like a very authentic glimpse into the unique life you've crafted for yourself and those close to you.

Quite simply, thank you, love getting notifications that your next instalment is available. Long may they last xx

Embroidery on tweed...creative and so gorgeous!

The landscapes you walk us through are just majestic! It's a pure joy to watch. Thank you ^^

Thankyou, Katie for another delightful podcast. What beautiful fabric, with your art on! Your shirt looks lovely. Thanks for the window into your world, much appreciated. Admire all you do.

Hi Katie. Well I have finally caught up with all of your podcasts on KZread. What a delight and an inspiration. I love knitting, sewing my own clothes and quilting and anything creative. Your drawings are simply beautiful!!!Your walks with your darling Jack reminds me of my walks with my daschie, Matilda ( who is trying to help me type as I write :) ) I have on my farm here in Australia. Looking forward to your future projects and podcasts. Best wishes Carol

Love everything...Jack off course the nature your fabrics jumperknitting and the embroidery is fantastic! And that calm music is perfect. Thanks from Sweden 💞

Referring to knitting sleeves, I always knit both sleeves between knitting the back and the front when knitting the pieces for a jumper or a cardigan.

Your illustrations on fabric! Katie, what a thrill! It looks great. I truly enjoy your podcasts.

Awwww, thank you so much for showing a close-up of darning your sock. My mother recently passed away, and I was traveling from across country. Dad asked us to take items that reminded us of Mom. Since I was flying, it had to be something small, the one thing that reminded me so much of my childhood was her darning egg. Now I'll know how to fix my knitted socks 🧦 🍄❣️

Another great podcast. You should be very proud of your fabric. It is truly beautiful. Love seeing your walks and the soothing music you play for us.

Lovely episode as always. Dartmoor is looking beautiful. I also love your skylark embroidery. Just stunning. Congratulations on the sheep fabric. It’s perfect!

Katie, it is a lot easier to set a sleeve if you roll it over your fingers with the sleeve fabric on top with your fingers pushing up from underneath to emulate the shape where it curves over your shoulder. It makes it easier to distribute the ease, especially at the places that have the most curve. I hope that makes sense and helps. That being said, I am impressed with the caliber of your sewing and pattern adjusting! You dive right in and it is brilliant. Fiber sisters have to support one another to my mind😉

I had just started on my second sleeve when you were describing how you planned to proceed with the Caledonia. Sleeves take forever! Glad to see Jack feeling so much better. Your bird quilt is already a thing of beauty and congratulations on your own fabric design. Super exciting!

You are so talented. I have just found you on KZread and have subbed. Love from 🇦🇺 Australia

Thank-you Katie for a lovely relaxing podcast. I have been going through a difficult time during July and watching you and Jack has really helped to bring me a little calm. x

Hello Katie and Jack, I came across you this past weekend August 8 2020. I have seen the first 9 of your podcasts. You are absolutely what I've been looking for to keep me company while I knit my projects along with my fur babies, Diesel my dog and Mia my cat. Your voice is soothing, relaxing and I love to see your walks with Jack. You are an extremely talented woman, you are down to earth, calming and I absolutely love your podcasts and how you present them. I will continue to watch your past podcasts and catch up lol...and I will definitely continue to watch for you and beautiful Jack. Best of luck from Toronto Canada🇨🇦. Greetings 💝

Your podcast is always missed. So very pleased to hear your calming voice and watch your nimble fingers set to tasks again.

Hi Katie. So glad to see Jack is doing much better. I enjoyed seeing how you darned your sock. Learned something new! Thanks. Congratulations on your new fabrics! Keep safe & blessings to all ❣💞

Your shirt is lovely 😊. Katie, you are so talented and I envy you! I enjoy your podcasts and want to do everything you do. Unfortunately, I am dreadful with a sewing machine so given that.... I was beyond thrilled to learn about English paper piecing! (Something I can hand stitch) Every item you make is so interesting. 💕. Love the embroidered bird motifs too!

The lark song is astounding. The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams is one of my favorite pieces of music. Your Meadow Lark quilt piece is a reminder. Thank you>

Love your sketches ❤

Your beautiful music brought tears to my eyes!

Hi Katie, I also am starting your super cute Scrufts cardigan and have a question. The yarn you used, is that a worsted weight or fingering weight yarn? Just love it and trying to use up some stash!

Love the fabric and seeing you both on your walks.

Jack walks like a boy with a purpose. Your walks with him, interspersed with your crafting and art are just perfect. Thank you for your inspiration.

Beautiful walks with Jack. I love your new fabrics.

It's nice to see you Katie and Jack. I was so awaiting your next episode and are very excited for you. The fabric is beautiful, luxurious, soft and sweet just like you.

Adorable episode, Katie! Thanks for sharing your shenanigangs. Your sheepy fabric simply rocks. It's so beautiful... 🐑💚🌷

thank you for this new relaxing and fresh episode. Your fabrics are so inspiring 😍

Always love your podcast Katie. I especially loved seeing you draw, darn your sock and what beautiful walks you are able to go on. All that green 💚

Your quilt is going to be the most beautiful heirloom thing ever! If you did a British Birds poster/fabric in the same vein as the sheep I would clothe myself and my house in them forever!

Congratulations on your lovely fabric and quilt. Can you tell I love doves? I never felt my drawing was good enough so do lots of photography but I love watchng you draw. Your partner does such a marvelous job of filming the walk, smooth and focused so I can look where I want, so calming I will go to sleep now. that is a very good thing.

Lovely podcast! Really enjoy your walks with Jack on Dartmoor accompanied by the most beautiful music! Very exciting having your own fabric printed and your bird embroidery is exquisite! Thank you!

Lovely episode as always. The bird stitching is wonderful. The paper piecing is getting very popular, 4 of the podcasters I follow have started it. The new fabric is brilliant. So wonderful for you that your dream was realized.

🤗 The sheep shirt is so cute! I enjoyed seeing you darn the sock and drawing the picture of your time on vacation. Take care.

Thank you Katie for a lovely episode. The sheep fabric is great. I will have a look in your shop.

Hello dear Katie and Jack. This is another lovely video. Your sewing and embroidery projects are always my favorites. This time, your walks together seemed particularly enjoyable. I am so happy about your beautiful fabric! I hope to get some soon. I can imagine all sorts of projects it would be wonderful for. First thought: nightgown and pillowcase.

Thank you 😌

Love your peaceful podcast! 🧶❤️ I also received your beautiful sheep fabric, I am looking forward to making a blouse with it! And I will make a bag with the other heavy weight sheep fabric!

Omg I thought I was the only one who did sleeves after first piece. I absolutely agree that two sleeves one after the other can feel like a slog.

Lovely.

Thank you so much for this super interesting episode! It is showing that you put a lot of work in making it ! Your quilting project is going to be so beautiful !🤩And I love seeing you drawing and explaining the creative process! 👍The long walks with lovely Jack are warming my heart ❤️ as I just had to say “adieu “ to my beloved poodle , three weeks ago .😭🐩❤️Take care , Aurevoir de Québec 🙋‍♀️🐶💕

Katie! I love ur sheep fabric. So cute. Love ur walks and Jack♥️ o happy day.

very good podcast nice place

I love love love your beautiful podcast and all the things you do, lovely intro, succinct and heartwarming, just like you. I did see one of your podcasts last year and lost it so now i"m subscribed and won't lose you again. xxx I think many of us are multi creatives and that's what makes our world go round! I love Jack. he's so chuffed to be kissed - our Hunni is the same, adores being smooched with. I love your shirt and oh how exciting it is to see your own prints on fabric. I'm so glad to hear about the printing company. I love the sheep and can see a very sweet dress made in that. After all, I'm a yarny too so why not herald the joys of sheep?? :-) did you take Jack on the weekend away? I handbind my own journals so I do the storyboard for ideas too. It's good how flexible the storyboard can be - just a guide...like knowing you can make the rules and break them. :-) It's such a lovely way to 'set things out'. I watched with great interest as you described the comic and I thought it worth mentioning how much a storyboard talks to the viewer because I was going to ask, Did you meet Will at the spot or go togethe and the storyboard TOLD me that already. How adorable is that? I studied a bachelor degree with honours in writing and literature and love teaching zines and graphic novels to high school students when I sometimes visit schools as the artist in residence. I see so many situations as graphic novels lol! Your bird project is divine -I did this in a small way with flowers, embroidering some and making patchwork blocks with the alternate ones. the birds look so beautiful on the tweed! good idea to alternate the bird blocks with green -a colour we share the love of. Great darning job on the sock -I use that kind of weave for the spines of my handbound books! it's so satisfying weaving. And last of all, who does your videoing? thanks again. If I don't finish this now, I'll keep writing until midnight hehehehehe! Love Lu in Australia

@@KatieGreenBean Oh I know how that feels to be greeted upon coming home. I can even go out and put clothes on the line and our Hunni will act like I've been gone for the whole day :-))) animals are the best. I'm about to binge on more of your lovely, calming episodes. Thank you so much for replying, Katie. And here's to many more.

Hey Katie, it’s August, and there you are in long sleeves and a cardigan? The weather must be very different in Dartmoor than in Texas, imagine that. We walk our dog as close to sunrise and sunset as we can get, and still we are sweating. Any way, your fabric is amazing!! I’m so happy for you!🥰

Lovely to see your excitement about your self designed fabric, congratulations! Just ordered some for me, I will try to sew a project bag and face masks out of it. 😌 Did you poke through the paper when doing your paper piecing? Remember you have to remove the paper templates after assembling the pieces. At least thats how I did it with paper piecing years ago (pre-knitting period) 😉 Hugs from Germany 🤗

Love this calming and relaxing episode of your podcast. Your jumper is great. I hope to start the same one soon. I was also able to catch a Viola yarn update and purchased two skeins of her hand dyed mohair lace yarn in eclipse for the Raspberry Twirl jumper. It is far don in my queue for knitting. Ny tips on organizing a craft room?

Hello dear Katie and Jack, As a dedicated follower of your lovely podcast I was surprised to see you recently discovered English Paper Piecing. This is also something I came across quite recent and I also am experimenting with a first little project. Could you be so kind to put the link to the audio podcast you were mentioning in the description bar below? I am no English native speaker and I am trying to find the podcast you were talking about and I don’t seem to find it. Thanks a lot, also for the lovely times you give us, viewers with your creative and lovely input. Annemie from Belgium

Question: when you are sewing your shirts with the cotton fabric, how do you finish your seams so they don't fray? Do you zigzag stitch the edges?

@KatieGreenBean

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Britt, no I usually finish them with pinking shears of with French seams.

Love your pod cast. Every time I see you put in a sleeve I cringe and remember there is a much easier way to sew a sleeve. They have been the least thing I liked to do either. Don’t sew your side seams to the garment first. Do sew the shoulders and if at this point you start to fit the sleeve in it will go much better. Then you can sew the side seam up through the sleeve it self. Good luck. Say hi to Jack for us. Barbara and Riely (my silent side kick). I forgot. If you get some bees wax and run your thread through it first your hand sewing will be much more easier to deal with.

Do you have any plans for offering quilting fabric, a broadcloth weight of cotton fabric?

Hallo Katie, I have a question, why is Jack always on a leash? Thank you for the wonderfull inspiration.I love to walk with you and Jack😄.❤

He's on a lead to keep him safe and to keep the livestock around us safe. And the other comments are correct, he probably would find a rabbit hole and would be very difficult to film!

Are your embroidered birds your drawings? If so you could sell your designs. I know as an american birder I would love them. Someday I hope to bird in the UK I need to see a robin and an European Goldfinch!
