#slowstitching | 2025 KiN Collab 1 | February Favourites Pouch | Part 1
Today I share the start of my February pouch, inspired by the lyrics of My Favourite Things. If you would like to join in, it would be great! My pouch will fly to one of the people in my FB Group
groups/885388330366627
February Prompt: FAVOURITE THINGS (from the Sound of Music)
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favourite things
Cream-coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favourite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favourite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so bad
*At the end of each month, Kate’s Pouch will FLY from the NEST.

wonder if greenery would help separate flowers in vase from background?
Kate, I found my felted wool! So excited to try it out. I sure hope winter lasts a little longer so I can stitch more. My garden is going to minimal this year because I want my time for stitching!
I enjoy watching you changing your mind … shows your creative side
Every spring little birdies need to revamp their nest to make it all fresh and comfy for their new babies. As you harvest your gorgeous nest it seems you are taking a favorite section and giving it a new start...a new life. Love watching and learning from your creative process. It's wonderful!! Will be watching it grow into something fluffy and squishy❤❤❤
Great to wake up to your videos…. I enjoy my coffee and crochet while watching! I have so many fun things in my stash and you have inspired me to get in there and use my goodies! I sold for many years in markets and online and I have beautiful vintage fabrics and blankets that either didn’t sell or I bought to make things with, so now I going to make a couple of “Favorite Things “ totes for me and maybe to start selling again. Thank you again Kate! maybe you could share your camera set up. Kindly, Joy~
Hi Kate, I am so enjoying your series. Your pouch is looking lovely. In your video today I actually saw the meaning of a work of art. The more you worked it the more beautiful it became. ❤
😍🤗💐🩷
Hi Kate. Do you have a video on how you join your sides . I seem to be lost on how it is done.
Hi Kate, it’s along time since I had the chance to be first to comment. Love love this series xxx
My birthday month is also February 🎉 I love the little embroidered violets. Those are our birthday flower as well! Happy Birthday ❤ I am so glad to find you.
Just an idea…design a horizontal row of flowers to represent your table 💐🌸🪻🌼🌷🪷🌻🌹🌺🌾 Or use a snippet roll as the table
I love the two layered vase! I hope you leave it that way❤
Whoop whoop, congratulations. I had noted a couple of days ago how close you were to the 5 k mark. 🥰
Wow 5,000 subscribers Kate. I think you were 2 ,000 something when I found you. Big congratulations to you. Xxx🎉
Hi Kate! I’m so glad to see another journal video! Of course I love all your videos, but the journal videos are my favorite. Take care!❤
It is already looking so good! Congratulations on 5000 subscribers! Kate, what is the name of the book that you said you are reading? It sounds like something I might have read. You know I live in Texas.
I am new to slow stitching. And I so enjoy your page and Marion's World. I feel like I have a new friend. You are so funny to watch.
❤❤
Happy Monday! What a lovely beginning!
So beautiful! So many joyful, colorful treasures.
Thank you so much Vicci - feeling blessed. Hope your making is going well too. Sincerely, Kate😊❤❤
The colors are so beautiful and vibrant. Can’t wait to see the finished piece.
I love it!
Good morning. Going on 5:00 am here in Toronto and I have my coffee in hand. Brought a green bin bag out to the bin after dinner. Oh look. More snow so I tossed some salt on the steps and walkway and went back in and decided to go to bed early so had a good rest. As soon as I turned on your site my mouth fell open at this vase and flowers you are working on. Simply gorgeous. A definate Wow moment seeing it for the first time. The creative part of your mind is working superbly. Of course this will be a double viewing...simply gorgeous. Isn't it amazing to realize how how creative mind can move on to so many different ideas. Love those moments as the new visions burst forward. AND to have the freedom and time to just play. Good for you.... So happy your journey keeps expanding. Have a great day. 😘🇨🇦
Gorgeous makes dear Kate!❤
Oh thank you so Rachael - means so much. And of course, constantly inspired by you. xxx
Wow! Amazing 😍

Kate, those treasures were much too beautiful to pass up. And besides, it was your birthday. I am loving the blues.
Oh thank you Sharon. Yes, couldn't pass up the opportunities. So glad you like the blues too - everyone is very encouraging. Hope all is well with you. Sincerely, Kate💙💙💙
Loving your “blues” needlebook Kate….
Thank you Kaylee! So grateful for your kind words. Sincerely, Kate😊❤❤
Absolute treasure trove!! And I LOVE the blues…so perfect. Can’t wait to see the next treasures!! ❤🌸Kate
Hello Kate, and thank you for the blue encouragement - new adventures emerging. Have a happy day - lots of love, Kate💙💙💙
Hello Kate, wishing you a happy bliss-day, everyday!!! Loved seeing your latest treasures. Did a big sigh of joy and wonder when you shared the amazing large table cloth...some things are meant to be looked at all the time. I truly believe in displaying treasures...they drip feed the creative juices. I share your excitement. And so happy the blue braid is finding a home amongst the bluey goodness. Your friend in Tas, Amelia
Oh you are so so lovely Amelia. Thank you for your beautiful words - and yes, your blued braid is the true treasure here, like you! xxx
I just remembered that more than 20 years ago I felted some wool using old sweaters. I am going to get that and use it as the base for some of my fabric to make what you are teaching us!
Hello lovely Lamona! And hurray for that memory being sparked! I haven't felted yet, but admire it from afar! It will make a wonderful base. I hope you are well. Sincerely, Kate❤🧡💛💚💙
Always a pleasure. 💖💖💖
As it is, to know that you are hear lovely Deb. Thank you. ❤💚💚
Blue blue blue…lovely blue pieces!

Thank you Terry! I'm feeling very blessed to have these in my nest! Looking forward to sharing the next installment with you. Have a wonderful week. Bestest, Kate❤🧡💛
Kate i luv your videos but off topic where do you get your rings???
hello hello Leanne! Thank you and thank you! In terms of my rings, I'm an eclectic and can't just resist bargains!. Today I had one of the colourful ones that I picked up in Thailand on hols. I also have thrifted ones....cheap and cheerful for me. xxx
@ thanks Kate, I’m also eclectic , I was hoping that you had made them n could tell me how! I love watching your videos and listening to you, similar to the Roxy girls it’s always a good listen. I’m pretty much house bound so all the videos keep me company AND I learn so much, particularly being creative without expectations of perfection stitches etc. I’m very grateful to you all🤗
I love how you put your colourful joy into everything!And I completely love the back of your needlepoint too😂
What a lucky lady is Jane!! Another feast for the eyes and soul Kate ❤
Hello Karen! You are very kind - thank you for your lovely comment. Sending you joy (especially now you are back at school). xxx
You are really good at creating beautiful palettes,Kate! Exquisite piece! Tfs ❤
Hi Kate I stumbled across one of your episodes a couple of days ago. So I ordered the book The Untamed Thread and it came today!! I love all your videos and love the book! Thank you for sharing.❤
That’s a fun prompt for February Kate. I must have watched that film at least 100 times. I remember going to the pictures to see it with mum and dad and my brother when I was about 7. ( so that is 61 years ago 😮) Then I had 4 children so they all loved it as well. Now I have 9 grandchildren and they all love Disney type animated movies so I think that is sad. Congratulations to Jane. What a prize to win. 🧵🪡🧵🪡🌸🌼🌺🌸🪻🌷
hello Vicki! I am so glad you like the song (and the movie)...I may not be quite up to that number, but I do know that every time I watched it I cried! Sending you blessings, sincerely, Kate😊❤❤
A beautiful joyful pouch xx
Thank you sensational Sandra! xxx
Congratulations Jane! Happy Best Birthday Wishes Kate! I say we celebrate all month long. OMG I’m so thrilled about February’s start! Since I make collage grateful journals & quilt,knit & crochet & slow stitch I have incorporated your wonderful idea to follow along using all my creative hobbies. So I made an entire altered book. All my notes & inspiration from your videos will be tucked in pockets & flaps. January Joy & lyrics will be the first few pages then now February. Along with my book I will have my January Joy nest, project bag & needle book to match. I can’t sleep at night with all these wonderful ideas in my head. Each month each project bag will coordinate with your prompts. At the end of the year I will have 12 project bags with each of your themes. Possibly the lyrics sewn into the cover of the project bag. Hope you like my ideas. Let me know what you think. I’m trying to calm myself down & remember that it’s slow stitching enjoying the journey. Having a whole month long gives us time. Thanks for all you do to inspire us! So happy & happy stitching my friends! Maria Mariaknits27 🧵🪡🧶📚☕️💕💐
Hello Maria! I love the idea of a month long celebration. And I LOVE the idea of you all your connected pieces - I may well do the same!! Sending blessings, Kate😊❤❤
This is lovely and I am really enjoying that doily folded around the journal. It’s just beautiful! I bought a little denim journal from a kid who was selling them at one of my events this week (he’s donating all the proceeds to a non-profit that benefits survivors of human trafficking-pretty amazing young man!) and it has a fabulous denim pocket on the front. I was thinking of embroidering it, so this gives me some great ideas! Enjoy the color palette…it is just beautiful. Loved seeing you on my Saturday morning! ❤ Lots of love from 🌸Kate
