Good mom in-laws like this are a treasure and a blessing! My dear mentoring motherly friend passed away and she's terribly missed. Treasure the time when you are with these wizened angels.
“And I’ll just SIT here and THINK about WHAT I’VE DONE!!” 😂😂😂 Gandalf & Frodo- we ❤❤❤ you both!
Kate and Anna, I just love watching you work together. I envy your relationship! You videos take me to a calmer place, which I so need amidst the chaos of this world we livei in.
Anna is lucky to have you as her teacher, you taught her that no one is perfect.
Kate's teaching style is wonderful. Too many people tell me that their mother used to criticize their sewing and make them pick out seams until they no longer wanted to sew. I love this.

Yes, they are like mother and daughter. And that's a wonderful thing.
I love how supportive you are of each other. What a wonderful relationship. And Kate, it's not a "mistake", it's a "learning experience".

I am pretty sure it is where those darling wonky stars came from. Not to mention wonky churn dashes that look like Chinese writing! I have a design in mind that uses wonky churn dashes.
You, Dear Lady, are a wonderful, polite & patient teacher! Anna is so lucky to have you as her lovely teacher❣️
God bless you, Kate and Anna too! ❤ I just love you ladies
Absolutely brilliant and so stunning. Thank you!❤
This is so wonderful! For this beginner quilter, you have inspired me to open up my beautiful jelly roll and get started. I have held on for two years fretting about where to even begin making a design. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful kind instruction. After all, it’s just fabric😊
Love watching you two together and the excitement of creating. I have been playing with making different block patterns into potholders.
Gosh I find this series of videos, fascinating. I am keen to try making something from a number of jelly rolls I have. Thank you Kate and Anna. (I'm a complete novice with this).
I really enjoy watching you and Annas relationship, she a sweetheart
Then soak the berries with in a pan with nothing- no water- for gentle with time- covered with water and boiled them for a time and take them in the bowl out from pan and drop them between fabric and now- get the juice for 2 hour and later, ask sugar to elder berries juice- do drain oil from calendars ( separate after weeks for calendar) in a soft cloth
Is there anything more peaceful and happy than listening to other creative people looking at and musing over lovely fabric? That was so fun, watching Anna discover the strips that she loved :) But truly -- there's something magical and skin-tingling about watching someone pondering the beauty they're fingering and the beauty in their mind.
Kate I luv Kaffee and I bought the boro book and I can’t put it down,you are a beautiful teacher,I’d luv you to of been an auntie to me,but I’m learning from you both.
I enjoy your channel so much. I just found out about you 2 weeks ago. I have loved watching everything. I am much like you, Kate, because I have so many projects going at the same time. My son is somewhat upset with me because I am spending much of my day with you. Thank you for your teachings and your wonderful chats. 11:03 . Oh, by the way, I live in Kentucky.
So nice to see you teaching the younger generation.
Lovely episode! Good job Anna! ❤ Kate your a good teacher! ❤️
I so enjoy watching the energy between Kate and Anna - just a delight, every time! Thanks you two happy quilters ☺️
Thank you very much for sharing. I also enjoyed you both chatting away. Totally not aware of the camera anymore. I watched it to the very end!
Anna and Kate I love you two together! Oh the mistakes and learning I have done in my 75 years. It has been worth the journey.
Math becomes useful as you find applications, quilting is a great one,( and you will learn with each mistake) my commission pay gave me an application that worked for something I thought useless, and now I use it for cooking and baking.
I really like the way you made that block I make a lot of string quilts for charity that will work really well
Oh my goodness! What an honor to be granted the unraveling of the roll. I have some in my stash that I am happy to gawk at for a few more years, let alone let somebody else open it.

I know! I'm not sure Anna fully understood what a honour that was! ha ha! xxx I've been looking at the pristine roll for a few years now! sigh! ha ha!
❤I just rewatched this video and still enjoyed it, fun to watch! I will give that method a go, thank you
This is the most delightful video to watch. I enjoy making string blocks but I think I am going to do it your way……❤
I know you two aren't crazy about the colors used in your sample blocks but I think they're lovely!
If I had Kate as a teacher, perhaps I would have enjoyed sewing class and learned something!
I love this new method. I have a jelly roll of 1930’s prints I’m going to try this with
I love Anna asking all those questions that pop up in my head. Kate thank you for answering them. I especially love the note that fabric is forgiving.
Lovely to see the art and love of quilting being passed on....heartwarming video Kate and Anna, thank you. Blessings.
I love that you are teaching the techniques
4:37 It made me so happy to see your way of coming up with your quilt top plans! I do the same and have to use the paper and pen! It’s almost my favorite thing once I get on an idea that won’t get out of my brain. Love your videos!
You are a great teacher❤❤
Hi Both, I so enjoyed this video. I agree it’s good to see the mistakes too.I remember better after I make mistakes. Thank you both so much. Xx
Kate I make a lot of mistakes with maths myself. I then have a larger pile of scraps for a scrap quilt. Fun fun fun. Aaahhhh making a tube. Yes fun
Great seeing someone being taught and gathering confidence
Ahh, tube quilt..love that. The result is a fun surprise!
Having grown up in the 1970s, Anna’s fabric choices is right up my alley. Going to be gorgeous.
Scott Fortunoff has a great video of a factory where fabrics are cut and packed for jelly rolls etc, fascinating to watch the ladies working and the set up .
I love when people share the mistakes they make, especially if they are a seasoned maker. It helps me to have grace for myself when I make a mistake, especially when I'm doing something new. It gives me confidence and helps me remember that no one is perfect.
Hello Kate and Anna! A tip from me. I use a 10 pound exercise weight on my long or large square rulers when cutting. this better than anything else I’ve tried keeping them from sliding when you are cutting long or angled pieces! Can’t wait to see Anna’s fabric choices. XO, Carolyn from Michigan USA
It was so wonderful to see Anna enjoying herself at the machine. Her beautiful smile of joy. Kate your a lovely lady thank you for taking us on this journey.🦋💕
So much fun watching this- think we just saw another young woman joining our community of quilters! Beautiful fabric and block.
Well done Anna, onward and upward as they say.
You ladies are a ray of sunshine. I love it when Anna joins you on your podcasts.
I loved this video so much. ❤️ What a fortunate young lady to have Kate as a mother-in-law and a teacher, and what a blessed woman to have Anna as daughter-in-law and student. You make an excellent team. Good job, Anna! Can’t wait to see you working with the beautiful fabric you have chosen. If your fabric arrives when the UK begins its darker, wintery days and you don’t feel like bright, cheerful fabric anymore, just pop on over here to Texas. It’s ALWAYS bright and sunny here - even in the dead of winter. You’ll be feeling like those happy colors again in no time.
When I began making Lampwork Glass beads I was convinced that I had to follow the instructions in every book I had. (No You Tube at that time). It took me several years and a lot of sad “wanna be beads” before I realized that I was capable of veering off the beaten path to run thru the weeds and wildflowers. I have no sense of direction anyway…I simply wasn’t born with it…neither was my father and we make my Mom cringe! Lol. It was still a mess…until it wasn’t. 😊 I have a wonderful following of friends that made it possible for me to sell many of those unique beads in the US for many years. When I began sewing…I didn’t even think about finding the path. I watch a lot of KZread videos because there are so many wonderful artists to learn from….but put a pattern in front of me and I feel so confined. I use them as a starting point and inevitably it goes in a different direction…and I’m good with that. I came across your channel a few weeks ago and listen to you and Anna when I’m sewing…you both make we feel so at home in my own head. I could never teach this because I can’t explain my thought process. I’m horrible at math…but it always works out in its own unique way. So….thank you for confirming that I’m not crazy….just creatively quirky . Thank you for being you!
That was like magic! At least that mistake was easier to fix than if you cut the plain fabric too small!
Kate you are the BEST teacher! I love your wisdom being shared to a new generation of quilters.
I’m loving the Anna’s quilt series! I’ve never quilted and this series just makes me want to run out and buy fabric!
Kate, you say you're maths challenged, but there is "numbers" smart and then "visual smart, like spacial relationships....and you are certainly not visually challenged to be able to see how to make the block in your mind. Forget the math. LOL The mind's eye sometimes works a lot better for those of us challenged by the math. John is a master carpenter and I learned a lot from a friend who was a carpenter about how to do lots of quilting, "visual" math when drafting designs. Bet he'll be a great resource. I love how your mind works!
Very nice colors. Very interesting way. Very Clever.😊
So lovely, its good to see skills passed on to the younger generation, it keeps crafts alive xxxxx
Hi love this video. I'm from USA. We call the thread bunnies, leaders and enders. 💚
Anna and Kate I love watching the two of you together. You complement each other with such natural admiration! Oh Anna @ 6 1/2 minutes into the video your expression, to Kate's mathematical competence, is the essence of a deer in headlights. Gave me a good idea of how much fun the two of you must have on a regular basis. Thank you both for sharing your lives and talents with all of us on lookers from the lime green sofa!
I just happened on this video and I enjoyed it so much! I love Kaffe fabrics but I never know what to do with them- until now :)
5:51 It is nice to know you use what I first used to record and note each quilt I made during my first 2 years. Figuring out new patterns is what I just started doing in another book. Oklahoma in USA
Kate hunny I have made so many mistakes making quilts . I corrected them . But they were small mistakes and not noticed that easy unless you were looking for them. I've been quilting for years. So don't be so hard on yourself when making a mistake no one is perfect. . Love that you are teaching Anna how to make a quilt. I'm in the process of teaching my 8 year old great niece how to make a quilt. She is doing good just being an 8 year old. Love you. Have a Fantastic day today enjoy the rest of your day today ❤️
Huge bushes with Elder berries! Wow- Anna went after the berries at the top! Wow
How delightful! What a treasury letter relationship and you are so good to each other! Patient, kind, I envy you!
That was fun... I so enjoyed watching you experience such joy teaching Anna. Your face lights up with each accomplishment... good on you 👏 ❤️
I have just found you I am learning to quilt this has helped me thank you and I love your way of teaching and love to watch you both are you related x
I'm not a quilter,but I love watching the two of you work out this quilt. Can't wait to see what's next in the process! Have a great week!
What do you mean Kate that you're not a quilt goddess ? You are to us 😉 Love this series. It's helping me build up the confidence to have a go.

A true Quilt Goddess is kind and inspirational; dear Kate through and through. L from the FingerLakes in NY, USA.
It was great to meet you at the Quilt Festival. Jean from Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
So nice that you're teaching Anna to quilt. I know her quilt will be gorgeous. Kate you are such an inspiration. While watching I was crocheting a block to a baby blanket for my great grandson due in Dec.
I love these videos and the warmth of your relationship. I'm currently in hospital recovering from an op, I feel awful and you just gave me a cozy escape for a while - thank you so much. I'm really enjoying the journey of Anna's quilt! Also I completely agree with lovely comment, not a mistake - a learning experience.. Xx
Such a cute mother-in-law, daughter-in-law relationship. So nice to watch you both interact. So much love in there! Beautiful! The quilt will surely turn out to be a beautiful work of love!

The quilt is turning out great! With those mistakes show how to deal with these-so that was learning and one gets understanding- love to see the whole time and more interesting when you get the quilt - Thanks a lot! I used to get those from a class time or feel time with quilters before internet on You tube- I’m told I can’t drive now and so internet is so helpful - Thank you! Ladies and Kate and Anna! Hallelujah -Sandi Myer Lov you all🥰
A wonderful idea! I'm getting ready to teach my granddaughter how to make a quilt top and this made the process so much easier for both of us. Thank you 😊💓
That was fantastic. I like to say, ‘ I learn by doing; not by thinking’. Anna, you picked a beautiful fabric group
Loved the video of you and Anna and the quilt lesson!!
Nice quilt blocks Anna and Kate. You look nice in that shade of green Kate.
So enjoyed you two working together ❤
I wish I had a teacher like you thank y’all for sharing
What a wonder way to do this. Big thank you
Love how supportive you are teaching Anna....
Happy Sunday you two lovelies! I so enjoy watching your interactions. Have a wonderful week!
How wonderful to have Kate to teach Anna. Great team ladies!
Great class
Am glad I found your channel You are so elegant:also, I love your colors and how detailed your explanations are. I am professional patternmaker in garment industry. Looking forward to watching more of your work You have a great spirit and you met Kaffe in person!!! I love his work…
Hi Anna and Kate - how nice to watch you two working together. The joy of starting to make a quilt - I can see the excitement of Kate giving you some of all her knowledge - it's fantastic. After a 7 years pause of making quilting I've startet again. Finding the KZread channel "The Last Homely House" has shown a whole new world of colors, and it's exciting and fun to try these new things. I can see, that a lot of technique is different from the time, when I startet, so I studiet the video intense. I love to see you two interact - take care and thanks for a lovely time. Last weeks video I've seen many times - that is a calming and fantastic video - love it.
Love watching you guy's together so lovely to watch you guy's create things together, while recovering from collapse lung. It's given me much inspiration. Thank you so much everyone here so love being on the green seat with everyone as my dear mum had a green velvet Settie. (She's not with us anymore) 💜 hugs for near Bristol. Keep smiling😊 it's amazing, how far your smile can travel and touch hearts everywhere.
Anna, I love the fabric you have chosen!! Watching you open the jelly roll and sort through the strips was so fun! Kate, when you said "fondling fabric" I laughed out loud!! Isn't it a Quilters favorite past time?? No Quilt Police here!! We all make mistakes, learn from them, and sometimes create the most wonderful things because of them!!! This was so brilliant! Thank you for sharing this!!! 💖
I luv that your teaching a young lady quilting, you just don't see the younger people doing any kind of sewing n don't have the first clue.
Wow, I'm so happy to have learned this technique. Ty❤
You're so right Anna! If we never make a mistake there's nothing to learn. Love the togetherness, so heart warming. A perfect way to learn relax and enjoy. 🫂 hugs from Denmark 🇩🇰.
What a great mentorship you are doing for Anna! Anna is really coming along!
What a duo you are in so many ways. The best way to learn a craft is to have a patient mentor to lead the way. And we always learn more from our mistakes than our accomplishments. I am not a seamstress but am looking forward to seeing this project develp. Love all the beautiful fabrics!
I was so happy to see another installment of Anna’s quilting journey. Good job to both of you. I can’t wait for Anna’s fabric to come in.
You are both so wise to make an exploratory sample first! That way those mistakes we all make are discovered and resolved before you begin with the quilt you plan to make.
such a patient teacher...passing on ones love of quilting and all your knowledge..I have never forgotten my experience with my Nannie and her seamstress knowledge a treasure I will hold close to my heart

Thank you!!!! I'm learning right along with Anna!! Kate you are a Wonderful teacher!! Not scarey at all!! 😊❤
Yeah !! You’re On. I love to Watch and Listen to You. I learn So Much from You.
I love seeing Anna’s delight when the first block of her quilt comes together! It’s going to be spectacular, Anna-and I predict the first of many you will create with Kate. It’s a special relationship the two of you have-to be cherished😘
