    Kate: I am a long time quilter who has become disabled to the point that even my arms hurt to move. However, watching you create and your calming voice start my day with such a positive mood. You motivate me to push through the pain and get into my fabrics and find something to sew and quilt. God bless you for being my positive motivation and allowing me to feel as if I am in your home with you being in a happy place. I love to start my day with you.

    This is NO disrespect to our transatlantic quilting u tubers (love Jenny Doan et al to bits) but it's so nice to hear an English accent on-line, especially a Northern one. I've just discovered your channel and I am in love with it already. Your easy going style suits me fine, as I'm a bit of a 'gonzo quilter' with an aversion to precision work - though I am quite fussy about the end result. Only problem - I've spent an entire afternoon drooling over your tutorials. But time well spent! You've given me the boost I need for the next few projects.

    Hi Kate, I watch you tube on my Roku and you came up on the playlist. I am not a quilter, but the name of your videos intrigued me. So I am now binge watching your videos! I enjoy your talking as much as your sewing. I had never heard of the place you liveand you probably haven't heard of mine. I live in Elizabethton, Tennessee in the USA. I had to recently retire due to illness. I was a registered nurse for 34 years I don't sleep much so I watch videos and I look forward to seeing you each week, Thank you for your videos!

    Love my vintage machines, no computers to go fooy. I have a 1957 singer slant 501a that my mother bought new for $300ish. It runs like a charm and will go through any weight. I use it all the time and it always brings back memories of my mom. When I was too young to use the power pedal my dad (an engineer) rigged up a crank for me made of coat hanger wire and a big spool.

    I’ve loved Norma for so long and even this much later (Feb, 2024), I’m still sad she crossed the bridge. I remember seeing this video before but as I just watched it again I saw Kate reach across her to adjust the camera. Norma must have felt that whisper of a touch as Kate’s arm went above her and she reacted as if she was going to mark Kate. Awwww. I didn’t notice that the first time and it honestly brought tears to my eyes. She was the sweetest kitty ever and I miss her on every video.

She has a log cabin block called Crayon Box that uses lots of bright colors. I too use the Go Fast Foot, aka Quarter Inch foot. Mostly because it lets me go fast; I don’t have to look at the line on my machine.

    Kate, When I first watched this video over 2 years ago now, you inspired me as well as educated me on how to make an envelope pillow case. I adapted the design and used Christmas fabrics and proceeded to make about 10 pillow cases that I sent out as gifts. I quilted the pillows the way you showed and also with crossed diagnal lines by putting masking tape down across the pillow tops as guidelines for my sewing. The results were wonderful and I got a lot of compliments from the people who got the pillow cases. I am a man who only took up sewing a few years ago so I had an indoor craft to do between woodworking projects. The sewing is a good Summertime hobby when I have to come indoors in the AC to beat the steamy North Carolina Summers. Thanks so much for your wonderful channel and inspirations. I plan to retire sometime in the near future and plan to come at some point to walk Hadrian's Wall. When I come to the North, I'd love to meet you and invite you to coffee.

    I’ve been binge watching you all day. My only wish is that at the beginning you would give the date and year, as I’m watching in my sewing room and it gets so very confusing. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Beautiful work. How lovely that you put a secret heart on the inside for your friend! I’m sure she will treasure this unique, hand-made gift. Thank you also for sharing the helpful tips on making a log cabin pattern - much appreciated! Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.

    Beautiful! When I do log cabin for small items like cushions, I sew it directly to a piece of fleece (which becomes the backing). This way, I sew and quilt in one step! The center square is the only one I pin on to make sure it's absolutely straight - I do everything else the same way you do. Such a great gift!

    I wasn’t sure about all your greens and pinks for this Log Cabin pillow cover but it’s so cool! I love how it turned out. And I like how the front and back are all one piece. Great job!!
