Learn the basics of QUILTING, Part One, Quilt Blocks, Planning, Pinterest.

In this series I will be helping Anna, my daughter in law, to understand all the wonderful ways of making a QUILT.
From choosing fabric and blocks, understanding the design and learning the skills required for cutting and construction, I hope she makes a quilt she will be proud of.
Anna has collected images she likes on a Pinterest Board and in the first part of this little series we look at those and I find out what she would like to learn.
Maybe you, or someone you know would like to join us? Share this video with those new to quilting and join us on this journey.

Ok. Kate has now sealed her place in my heart as a virtual big sister. “It takes as much effort to do it beautifully as it does to do it badly” was my late mother’s mantra. She lived by those words every day.
If you’re still reading these, Kate-thank you! You made my day!

😁 I will be joining in with Anna, as a brand new quilter, but I am 61y/o!!! 😊👍👍❤️

I grew up living behind the feed mill in my town nearly 80 years ago. My mom and I would walk through the back yard to the little store attached to the mill and I would pick out a sack I liked for my mom to make a dress for me. I wish I had one of those dresses, now. I will enjoy going along with Anna on this journey while she learns from Kate. Thank you.

I am addicted to you, Kate and the last homely house. You are so natural and real. And most of all so calming . The music is perfect.

Something Kate does better than any other youtuber I have ever seen is talk to the audience. She has the most amazing natural ability to make me feel like I am right in the room with her having an afternoon chat.

My husband watches old westerns. I've "trained" him to point out scenes with quilts. I look forward to following Anna's journey.

My young (30 years old ) granddaughter ask me to help here make her first quilt. We have been working on it for three weeks now and she is still excited. We are having a wonderful bonding moment. I cherish every moment. Good luck on your wonderful journey.

Sitting here on a cold day in the states and loving this episode. 30 years ago I made a wall hanging all by hand. My love of fabric and colors has kept me interested in quilting, however, I've never made another one since. Two years ago I retired and purchased my very first sewing machine but haven't taken it out of the box yet! Oh my. Kate and Anna, I'm here 'in class' with you. Thank you :)

I really like you- And your friend. I Can't find your name on your page. I'm a newbie quilter. Got all the tools but haven't started my quilt yet. Your strip piecing quilt on the wall is lovely & inspiring 😍 and I will make one like that for sure. All of your work I've seen is leaving me awe struck. Today you were suggested to me by YT. I'm so happy for that. I really enjoy the way you think and communicate. Love the Tolkien quote❣
You are a lovely breath of fresh air!! Aside from your lovely accent you give me a feeling of love, peace and hope. Thank you - you're a STAR❣🥰🥰🥰

Hi Kate, it was wonderful to meet you and Anna at the FOQ'S on Friday, I introduced myself and said I watch lots of your videos, hope you enjoyed the show, I really did. You suggested I looked at Agnes's quilt, I eventually found it, it was beautiful! So lovely to have bumped into you, Jacqui Palmer

Another YouTuber I like is Beth with My Sewing Room. She uses material from all over, and definitely not always new. Mostly used shirts, dresses, even sheets. Good one to watch.

I've been a quilter for 61yrs of 76. The excitement NEVER stops There's always a dozen NEXT ones. Pick me! Pick me! More generations need this delight. Pass on everything. ))))

[hopzitlois]

Awe, how marvelous for Anna to be so excited about quilting and she couldn't have a better teacher. Look forward to watching the progress.

[lidaconn]

It's wonderful to see the excitement in Anna about making a quilt. I love seeing that.

[lucilledaub]

I love to learn about getting started to learn how to quilt.

Although I ve madeany quilts over the last 10years, mostly for charity, and I have about 10 tops that need quilting I haven't done any sewing for the last 18mths due to health issues that took my mojo. Just last week I picked up my rotary cutter and finished cutting out the fabric for my grandson's 18th birthday quilt his birthday is in April so will begin sewing on Wed when our group gets back from the holiday break. Watching you girls thismorning, while eating peaches with a little cream for breakfast, I'm feeling rejuvenated to get sewing. Next 2 days must get my home in order so I can sew guilt free.🤣💞🐈‍⬛🐈

[frocking_adventures]

Ah my Sunday soothe time. Time to grab a cuppa, some hand sewing & chill for a little while. I find it so relaxing listening to you & watching your progress, whilst progressing with my own cross stitch, patchwork, quilting or dressmaking (as the mood dictates). I'm fancying having a go at some padded embroidery too, always good to mix things up. Keep up the great work👏👏👏

[debedwards]

I ONLY make quilts with used material from clothing, sheets, etc so personally, I’m not going to purchase quilt material from a shop. I love the recycling element of it. 💕💖💕
