Il liked it too 😂. Sometimes chaos and irreverence are the answer

I have found your videos very therapeutic in an otherwise emotional year …. Just listening while I sew and hearing about life at the Last Homely House is comforting because nothing is rushed, there is no sign of the outside world most of the time and your contentment in being creative and enjoying your outdoor spaces makes me realise that I can do the same too. Thanks Kate 😊

Had to pull over for a pit stop at a tire center, while waiting, struck up a conversation with a man, a little stand-offish initially! His accent soon gave him away! Native to England he followed a woman to America and, though that didn't work out, he's stuck here! So, I introced him to your page here on KZread, told him the name of your channel--and, he loosened up right away, "Yeah, in America people think the word homely means gangly or ugly, in England it means something entirely different..." And, as he stammered, I inserted, "Cozy?" "Yeah, 'cozy he said! Yeah!" So, I told him, "If you want a taste of home, just look up 'The Last Homely House/KZread and you'll feel right at home!

Of course I told him about your subject matter--and, that you've started a new channel for gardening--told him you have a beautiful "spread", an American word for land/homely house!

I didn’t realized how much I’ve missed watching John! 😂. I hope we get to see Kate’s reaction😂

That would be the Cherry on top💕🤣🤣🤣

How can you not giggle when John is “helping” his Mum! ☺️

kate's beautiful spirit + anna's musical genius + john's evil chuckle = the very most relaxing afternoon I've had in over 3 years. can't wait for my copy of "kate's book" to arrive 😊❤️

Okay, John now you've done it! Kate, make the blocks and turn John loose to do the lay-out. We all want to see a collaboration between the two of you.

John you silly goose! It's lovely to see you enjoying your mother's gift of sewing!!

"Two leftover she's not gonna need..." Sure John, better not throw anything out!😉 Your mum would be on your case, 😏😸 Love seeing the whole family here, Kate.❤💕💕

This will be beautiful!! I laughed so hard when John added his special touch!! 😂😂 So happy you're going to have your favorite quilt for yourself. ❤❤

Haha, oh my. John is a great quilt designer! I loved how he didn't stress, he just laid them out. And then tossed the 2 left overs. haha. It looked great. The design book looks wonderful as well. Maybe for my birthday this year...and my calendar of course. Till we meet again. Have a wonderful week.

John's design is beautiful and the random pattern real appeals to my free spirit. I can't wait to apply it to my grandson's quilt. Thank you Kate for all the cutting and piecing tips. Your the best!

John definitely has his mother's creative spark! Love his layout and the music in the background. It feels good to see this family's work. Kate you all feel like close friends and are a joy to watch.

Just saw John’s layout. It’s perfect. He’s very mischievous isn’t he.

John is so much like my sons.. we’re so lucky and blessed to have them. ❤ makes my heart happy 😊

John is a genius like his mother. I love how you three work together. Perfect teamwork. 😊❤❤

Watching this for the 3rd time Kate and Anna mostly because Dustin Hoffman's voice narrating Harry Nilsson's 'The Point' always plays through my mind when Kate says, 'It is nice to have a point'. Cheers! I so enjoy your videos, thank you.

Your John reminds me of my son David, one of my five. He would do the same thing to me when I am working on something. One has to really love him.

I really love these flying geese and these various way to use those FG! - I Love the fabrics- she used solids greens and love these designs of flying geese- love it!- Thanks, Kate and John😂🥰

I actually love John's arrangement, it's randomness is very artistic! Bravo John!

John's artistic eye is shining

“I just saved her a whole afternoon” 🤣👌🏻

Such a wonderful pattern. Love the Flying Goose. And of course, John’s version is smashing too…..lol.

The amount of mischief in his eyes when he mixed up your design 😂😂😂 I do like it, though 😊

Your videos always help me to relax. The soft piano music, your soft English lilt, the sweet cup of tea... whatever it is I find you calming and peaceful. Thank you

I don't quilt much, but I do enjoy watching you do it, Kate. Anna's music selections are exquisite -- I can listen over and over :) And everybody needs a John in the family to keep things happy!!

Always excited about seeing your videos, Kate. I also wanted to say that you use the most beautiful music background which gives me much joy. I could watch you for hours!! Have a lovely week ahead.

What a goofy son! I loved that he was willing to try his hand at designing. I liked his haphazard design.

Flying Geese are my favourite I think! I'm a new subscriber, and just love following along. Its like coming home and feeling comforted with tea and quilty goodness!! Your music is always so lovely!

I love John's take on designing a quilt! What a nice surprise! LOL!

What a lovely man, your John is. He's not wrong, lol. Sometimes we overthink things.

That was so funny at the end. I think Flying Geese has just become my favorite quilt block should I ever make another quilt! It looked like origami with fabric as you were putting them together. So loved the color combo too!

Heehee! Perfect! What a hoot! Thanks, John! I just realized I was over complicating it! 😂😂😂

Hi Kate, I’m new to your channel, I really love it! This is the 1st time I’ve seen the “no waste” method of sewing flying geese-wow, I’ve not tried any of those yet, but I’m definitely gonna & soon! That is after I’ve bought a copy of your quilting planner book-which looks great & that bloc-loc ruler too-wow, so excited to get back to quilting…it’s been almost 10 yrs since I’ve done anything “quilting’ & I’m so very EXCITED to get to stitchin & designing AND designing & STITCHIN!!! Your content is so relaxing & inspiring!!

Johns so mischievous. He makes me laugh. Enjoy your making.

OMG, it goes without saying that I love watching and listening to you, Kate, but John's cameo appearance was THE BEST! 🤪

Quilt designed by John, sewn by Mum.

Such a great show. Love your planner and Flying Goose pattern. But I must say, John stole the show.😊

I love John's layout of the quilt! That reminds me of when I would crochet scrappy afghans and I would tell my children to just grab whatever colour they wanted to add next. They are much better at being random than I am.

Into the Naughty corner John. What a wonderful Mum you have she’s the best Crafts person I’ve ever watched.

Its going to be a beautiful bright quilt, thank you for showing us how you do it. I love that your son is involved, what a treasure.

Your son John is so fun!! I so enjoyed watching him quilt with you. Yeehaw! From southern US😂

I love John's improvisational layout! And the block toss was a hoot! 😂

Such a satisfying little block. I made my granddaughter, just a few weeks younger than Agnes, a flying geese quilt!

Love the pink and green combo - so vibrant, fresh and sweet! 😍 The design book is such a great idea. Loved the fun of John having a go laying out the quilt. 😄

Such a beautiful happy quilt! And what a bonus getting to see John at the end!

I just love when John comes in and blesses us with his silliness! 😂

Oh but John is a delightful mischief maker 😂 😊

To see the affection that your peeps have for you makes heart so happy. More people should get to feel that. ❤❤❤️

Your planning notebook would help keep me on track! I so enjoy your approach to quilt making and the lovely music brings a sense of calm to the video. Every time I speak of you, Kate, I always preface the comment with "my new best friend". I hope you don't mind that someone across the pond thinks of you with loving friendship. ☺

Always love having your videos on while I'm crafting away on a Sunday afternoon. The bit at the end with John laying out your quilt and whinging on about how little time it takes: hilarious! Looking forward to the next as always.

I like using the no waste flying goose block method. Haha, I actually like John's block arrangement. He's a rascal.

`I really liked John's layout! ha ha, amazing how that quilt looks good with so many colors in it.

I must admit I do like John’s layout. He’s not overthinking it like the rest of us do. It’s a bit like watching kids playing with colours and patterns, they just do what they like! The evil chuckle sounds like Gizmo the African grey parrot!

John actually did a really good job!

Tell John he inspired me to lay out my flying geese all wonky as he did in this video. Like Kate, I love bright fabrics & even used all greens as my sky as you did. For the geese lavenders & reds all Kaffe. I added a 4” solid red border & backed w/a small purple Kaffe backing & bound with the same. A fun, bright 68” square quilt that will always remind me of John sneaking in & shaking up your blocks. 😂

Love tuming in to watch, I love your approach to life and your craft. This new project is lovely, pink and green is a favorite combination for me. Looking forward to the finished quilt!

Love John and his laugh!

John is on to something. I like his layout. Love that ruler! I have it for hst blocks but never knew there was one for flying geese!🙄

I love your house, especially all the windows letting so much sunlight into your rooms. I have taken a few photos from several of your videos because all those sunny windows with their colorful curtains, and the quilts-in-progress, WIPs, on your walls and the finished quilts on the beds make a very cheerful sewing space and an overall delightful house! I just like to save those lovely, happy photos to look at often for a “shot” of endorphins flooding my brain. Each of your rooms is a work of art in itself!🥰 I did enjoy John’s fun at the end, to “save you time,” and him tossing the two “extra” blocks which “she’s not going to need anyway.”😂😂😂

I always gray scale my quilts. Makes it nice for balancing the colors throughout the quilt. John made me laugh when he threw to two blocks out 😂❤

The green/red/pink and one direction pattern look like Christmas trees, I love it.

Yay, Kate has started another quilt project. Pink & greens, who would have guessed?!?! 😉I just finished a flying geese baby quilt for a great nephew. John is so funny. 😂🎉

Dear Kate you are such an artist. Beautiful. Love to see you making your art. Thank you.

Kate, your videos are so lovely and relaxing. It truly feels as though I am on the lime green sofa with you and all the rest of us…

This is the best tutorial for fly geese. Thanks so much Kate. Love the groups of 4 and different shades of green

John still has the little boy mischief! awsome

John's layout is quite interesting. Sometimes my husband with get at my design board and "try his luck". He also says I over think my design too much.🤨

Absolutely loved John helping with the layout, and his design is quite good. I'd loved to see your reaction to his "help".

Beautiful colours! I might use your idea for a,pillow or two for my living room! Not ready to do a whole quilt of flying geese, yet… John’s approach is the best! Don’t overthink it 😍

John is so funny & very helpful!!! Have missed seeing him. I like it when you sew 4 together...

John! That wicked laugh at the end! 🤣🤣🤣

Lol loved John's design

John is such a joy!

How exciting! The creator of Block loc rulers was in my quilt group, that is until her business took off and her time got precious! So exciting to know her product made it “across the pond”.

John’s layout looks great. ❤❤

Miss Kate. My Quilt Planning Book arrived today Tuesday 6th 2023 with Hexigon Pillow lit in the blues and purples. They’re both so beautiful and your planning book is so well detailed and wonderfully made. Thank You Thank Thank You.

I ordered the quilt journal so fast, faster even than ordering the ruler AND the Kaffe Fasset charm packs. And it’s all your fault. Seriously though, I love the block. I didn’t before because it was so fussy. And the burst of color healed something I didn’t think needed healing. Thank you Kate! I’m falling in love with quilting all over again. You are such a great part of my everyday happy. God bless ❤

Received the books I ordered from you today. Both my sister-in-laws who quilt will love them. I am not a quilter but make stuffed teddy bears. I love to watch your channel. You make so many things. I love all your cats. Kim Webb Idaho USA

😂. Love the goose blocks. John made me laugh. ❤

John's antics crack me up. I saw something in a magazine that I think he would really like- Find an inexpensive basket with gaps in the weave. Make a little roof for it and run some twine thru both to hang it from a tree. Put thin strips or selvages in it and pull some ends thru the gaps. In the early Spring, birds will pull them out to make their nests with. How pretty that would be!

It's really interesting how many different "feels" the same block can make: contemporary, scrappy, old time, whatever - just by how you line them up! What fun. But going back to color choices changes it up as well: how different green goose on pink would be & how lots of prints change the look from solids. That design board earns its place always. John's silliness really made me realize how the art combines with craft!

Kate it was nice seeing your quilt making book. The music was super relaxing. John was hilarious putting his blockSs together. Cheers

Hi Kate. I’m Lisa from Kentucky USA. I enjoy your videos so much.. I am very interested in English paper quilting. Currently I am working on making a crumb quilt. So much fun. Can’t wait to see your next video.

John your a riot! Your Mum is blessed to have you and your siblings along with your spouses and Agnes! Thanks for the tips Kate , you make it so easy. Enjoying your blog and as always, can’t wait for the next episode.

I really do like Johns layout.

Hello Kate, after watching this video I am courageous enough to start with a flying geese quilt. I have collected a box full of Kaffe Fassett fabrics and now a plan is growing in my brain to mix them with solids. Many thanks - I love your videos, your voice and almost everything what comes from over your way. Many greetings from Germany

Great fun and actually I really liked John’s layout - he wasn’t bound by any “rules”. Brilliant x

Ahhh relaxing indeed, for us to watch! Can't wait to see your finished flying geese! And of course much more of John... to funny! 🇨🇦👍👍💖🦋🌈

Whos cheeky kid is that?!?!? LOL 😄😄😄 Kate I have never been too fond of the flying geese but after seeing all those blues and greens together my opinion has changed. I adore blues and greens!

I think John's layout could be called Every Which Way!! Too funny the way he tossed the last two. I love making geese, and every so often I make a pile of them for the 'parts department' and save them for some day when I have enough for a quilt.

I like pink and green fabric too! John has a nice way of laying out his geese. Love the grin at the end. LOL

Glad to see John still has his sense of humour! LOL. I think your version of every other two geese block turned is called the Flying Dutchmen?!

What a devil John is🤣🤣. I love all your fabulous fabrics, such gorgeous happy colors together. I love both designs very much, but I think John’s is just tipping the scales 👏👏👏

Beautiful flying geese Kate. John’s layout was entertaining, just as he always is! Love your family💕♥️🧵

How lovely to see John! He is such a giggle!

I love your videos. You inspired me to make an English paper piercing quilting. It’s my first one. Because I live in a tropical weather we don’t use quilting. But my kids and granddaughter live in Columbus OHIO, that has a very cold winters… I decided to make one quilting for the sofa. It has nearly 1000 plus hexagon 😮! It’s quite a big job. Tons of hand stitching. It’s a very calming job. Thanks Kate for your inspiring videos. Wonder music!

Kate, you know that I actually liked how John laid out your flying geese on the design board.....LOL!

Four flying geese at a time is my favorite method. I made a flying geese quilt for my son. The geese went in one direction (north) with strips of solid fabric inbetween the rows. I like your idea of keeping all four geese together, after all birds of a feather flock together! John looks like he is a big help!

Johns layout is beautiful 👍

Love the flying geese block, I had watched other tutorials on the no waste but when I watched yours it all clicked, thank you. You have a lovely way of explaining. John's layout, Great!

John, you’ve got the “magic touch”. Kate I really like the new journal🥰
