I think you are the "Mrs. Rogers" of the podcast world. It is always so soothing and restful to watch your show. Thanks so much. Dianne

Patricia here the 86 yr old who has started the Beautiful Birch quilt. I mentioned I had to move from my home and was terribly depressed, well now thanks to you Kate I’ve started my quilt. Funny thing was, I HAVE no Scraps! I gave so much of my quilting fabrics and my scraps went also. I’m working on getting more scraps. Thank you Kate for giving me a new lease of life. 🥰💖

I like the pace of Kate's videos. It is easy just to sit back and relax watching her (and knit). Reminds me of how Mr Rodgers never rushed anything. I like that after a hectic day. Thanks for being yourself Kate.

OMG, that flower quilt is gorgeous, I kept away from sewing all my life, but my daughter helped me and after the age of 72 I have since made 5 cot quilts 1 dolls pram quilt and 3 stuffed octopussies.I am a knitter, but really hooked on this patchwork, my daughter is amazing and so patient cant wait to see the finished flower power.

An absolute feast for the eyes. I can't think of anything more lifting than flowers blooming in the middle of a grey winter day. Just want to thank you for bringing more color into this world and for giving me the nudge I needed to add more color into my world!
Best to you always.

Hi Kate, I never imagined I would make quilts 💚 I until I started watching your YouTube videos. I'm an avid knitter and love creative embroidery too but quilts no never I thought but your inspiring creative projects got me hooked and I've made 3 quilts for our Grandchildren. A flying geese a panda and dinosaurs which were such fun. Now doing a scrap qulit as you go for our kingsize bed with fabrics that have memories old and new. It's our Golden Wedding Anniversary this Friday 27th Jan and our memory qulit will mark all those years with 3 children and now 8 Grandchildren. So I must say a huge thank you because without you our anniversary quilt would never have happened. You spread the love ❤️🎂❤️

There's no waste fabric here, just perfect opportunities for other projects. That's the joy of quilts. Such a riot of colour, celebrating simple shapes and design. Thanks Kate for beginning another week with us. ❤️

Hi Kate, I'm a new subscriber to your channel. You asked in another video how people were discovering your channel. I discovered it because I bought the seed packet quilt kit and wondered if someone had a video about making one - and this video came up when I did a search. My new obsession is your channel. Love it! So much to be inspired by. I lived in England for 3 years. It is a treat to be invited to return and visit you in your workshop through your videos. Thank you!!

I love your approach to the quilts - It's about the DOING and no about TO GET It DONE. I like that things should take the time it takes. So many quilters and quilt hosts are more obsessed with the product insteda of the prosess. It is a hobby for goodness sakes, something we enjoy doing. All parts of it can bring joy - the choosing of the project, the fabric choosing and handeling, the lay out, the construction, the seeing it coming together. For me the least favorite part is just sewing it together. I even enjoy the trimming of the blocs. And then comes the best part: The quilting (Free motion quilting on my domestic machine) People look at my quilting and say: so much work, I would never have the patience. But it is a hobby, what I like to fill my time with, not a duty or a chore. I do not feel it using a lot of time time; it GIVES me hours and hours of joy. Thank you for sharing thoughts on the prosesses and choises!!

Oh my gosh. Your quilts are absolutely gorgeous. I just discovered your channel a short while ago and am having the most fun watching you. It's like having you as my next door neighbor. I watch your videos a lot of times while eating lunch or dinner and enjoy them so much. I am not a quilter but my daughter is. The quilting gene skipped me and went to her. She makes beautiful quilts also. She took to it like a duck to water. Funny how that works isn't it? Thank you for putting these videos out and brightening my day.

[ACanadianBee]

So wonderful to see you Kate. You are dearly missed Kate but one must do what is good for themselves. I watch your already posted videos and reenjoying all over again. Blessings dearest lady.

How could one not be filled with happiness and joy when looking at that stunning quilt top, gorgeous fabric, thank you so very much Kate for sharing and for all you do...

[TheQuiltingLunchLady]

I would have made a picture frame using some cereal box cardboard, that way you can see both what you want to cut and you can also see the frame and how it outlines each area you are wanting to cut. Then, using a marking tool you mark the corners and cut after using your straight edge. It’s a great way to fussy cut your fabrics! Good luck and it is such a fun quilt. Looks a little like a flower garden gone wild! Thanks for your videos, they are always enjoyable!

[christineolschewski]

Oh Kate! It's gorgeous. No sunglasses needed. Eyes wide open and loving it.

[lynette.]
