I'm here to comment, I watch your videos at night but I can't stop thinking about all the things you're making and I'll have one of each please! Thank you for all the time you are devoting to this!!! 💓🥰💓
My pleasure Jeri, thank you for being here 😊
Yes You are pleasing us all ……a grand weekend to You……
Thank you. I love to listen and stitch along. No rules allows freedom and creativity. You make beautiful things ❤❤❤
That little log cabin pouch is so cute!
Kathryn, that is such an adorable little bag. Thank you for showing us. And not having any quilting experience I appreciate showing an alternate version. But what I’d really like to say is not only have you created the most lovely things but you have created a kind, caring, and loving community. Thank you also to the people who comment. I appreciate being able to come here to read positive comments in this sometimes difficult world. 😊
Thank you Cynthia, I adore this community of lovely people too ❤️
Ohhh your dinky little bag is wonderful ❤
Log cabin rice bag - so special! Definitely a must do project. Thanks again Kathryn for your creative & generous sharing. 💕🌻xbrenda
That’s a really “workable” method of creating a log cabin. No fuss; no anxt; just a little time for pleasing yourself. 👍
Thx a lot for a super-instructive video: loved all the useful little tips. Since log cabins are my favourite blocks, I'm very grateful for this series you are making. I hope Fate will be kind to all the people on YT who provide excellent content for free, like yourself. 😂
Thank you, happy you like it 😊
Your wittering always makes sense to me. 😊
Obviously we are on the same wavelength 😂❤️
Love the little log cabin pattern Rice bag. Many thanks for sharing. x Blessings x Mariana UK xx
Thank you Mariana ❤️
Hi Katherine, I love this video, I found it very useful, it helps to reflect on our slow collage practice. How and why we do what we do, lots of ideas came to mind while I was looking at you, thank you very much for making my day sparkle with
This shorter video worked out perfectly, I couldn't sleep and got up to have a piece of toast to help me rest.....video's done, toast is done, now hopefully I can be done and get some sleep....lol...nite!
Hope you are fast asleep by now, shhhh... 😴😴😴❤️
So cool, thank you K3N! ❤❤❤
Thank-you, Kathryn. I do appreciate both the beautiful items you make and your generosity in sharing your skills and experience with us.
My pleasure Jill, thank you for being here 😊
Thank you for sharing another technique❣️
Well hello from snowy Scotland like this one thanks for showing going to try this one when one catches up always at the bottom of the class ha ha nothing changes . Rust dyed the paper & cloths did what you said to wash in the river I thought my hands where going to fall off as the water was freezing cold but I toiled with them now dried & looking good & all worth it So thanks a lot for teaching me some thing 20:04 new. Hugs xxxx Peter xx❤
Hi Peter, oh your poor hands! That truly is going the extra mile, washing your cloths in freezing water. I think that means you can go to the top of the class 😁❤️
I am working on the 4 blocks now am enjoying them very much. I have not hand pieced before! Only machine and have lots of leftover strips. So fun!
Many thanks . Keep them coming 😄x
Will do 😄
Love it! The suggestion that jumped out at me is to mix and match log cabins with other designs/categories. With every video, I'm feeling more freed up from the 'rules' that I've followed for a lifetime.
It is a revelation. Kathryn - thank you so much for making me fall in love with sewing all over again. 💟

Hello Mary, always lovely to see your messages pop up. ❤️ The only rule is, there are no rules 😂 maybe a few guidelines but even they can be bent, if not broken. 😉 Hope you have a lovely weekend 😊
That little bag is adorable. I’m loving this alternative method of log cabin more and more, I so look forward to your videos, thank you again for sharing
That is the sweetest little bag. I truly do appreciate all you do for your little community of followers
Thank you Jude 😊
I never realised so much could be done with the humble log cabin. Thank you Kathryn
My pleasure Carol ❤️
I am absolutely in love with the rice bags they are so beautiful now I just have to make time to make one like the last lady that I'm a little behind in class have to soon catch up LOL thanks sweetheart for sharing they are beautiful
My pleasure Dawn, have fun with your own rice bag and enjoy ❤️
Your little rice bag is so so adorable! 😍😍😍
I think I prefer the other way, but it’s a question of trying as you say.
I have already started the round bag and I was able to make the coil (I think that’s what you call the base), but I did it with blanket stitches because I couldn’t get it right with the ones you taught, maybe because I am more comfortable with blanket stitching.
Have a wonderful weekend, Kathryn ♥️💙🤎🩵🩷🤍💚🧡💜💛
Thank you Alexandra, blanket stitch works great. You have a great weekend too. ❤️
OhMyGosh! I TOTALLY love this … this was what I had in mind when I saw your squares on the last one. As a hoarder, I’m definitely going to have to go larger on the blocks, lol, for it to hold anything besides my various thimbles.
(Not really a hoarder, I probably shouldn’t joke about that)
You just cracked me up!😁
Maybe a squirrel or packrat? 😁❤️
@@k3n.clothtales 🤣😂
Hadn’t before realised the options ….lots of scope for creativity.. thankyou
Votre précision révèle l'amour du tissu et des fils,merci pour ce moment précieux.
This is so wonderful. Thank you for these tutorials. I'm very much enjoying them. ❤😊
What a lovely surprise, thank you. This way is more familiar to me, but I have never stitched it by hand - always a first time!
Thanks again Kathryn. Another lovely video.🤗
Love your wonky bag!!
Thank you for the additional inspiration ❤. I definitely like the idea of finger pressing seams, or letting them lay as they want, rather than jumping over to the ironing board with every strip.
I'm enjoying your style and technique very much 😊❤
So many options. Thank you.♥
Thanks for the bonus. Learned it the quilters way on a foundation with a drawn pattern on and sawing on the backside of the foundation. Think I prefer your way😊
Love both ways , a little surprise to start the day
Always a pleasure. 💖💖💖
I’m finally in bed watching your video and you may have mentioned but i wonder about your thread. So far you’ve always used embroidery thread in your stitching, but I see you’re using sewing thread. Can you explain that please? Thank you for all your time spent making these videos! 🩷
Hello, I mostly use embroidery thread for top stitching, fancy stitching but for piecing, ie actually sewing things together, I like to use sewing cotton. I have some vintage and some new left over from when I did machine quilting and I am using all that up. ❤️
It actually is traditional to start with a light square next to the center, then another light strip before beginning with the dark. However, I am really liking the way you're using the dark fabrics first. The block looks more dramatic somehow.
Thank you, I was hoping someone would confirm that 😉 always a rebel, me 😊❤️
@@k3n.clothtales ah...not a rebel...a LEADER! I'm doing the handstitched wonky-ish log cabins and I'm doing the dark first thanks to you.
🤗 now I am wondering WHY light first is traditional? Is it just convention or is there a reason? Off to Google, will report back. 😁
That was a lovely surprise! Xx😊
Thank you for great tutorials 🤩
Love this, but I haven’t watched the previous video yet, as I was out of town and away from my normal routine. I’ve hand stitched blocks this way from a block of the month quilt kit called Women’s Voices, which includes two blocks of 12? 15? patterns and reproduction fabrics popular during the US Civil War. I’ve been working on it for several years because I found the PROCESS more enjoyable than the FINISHING. lol! So I have blocks, and not a quilt. It’s clearly time for me to enjoy making Log Cabin blocks now! Hmmmm… Perhaps my Women’s Voices blocks will become large rice bags… I think they are 12x12 inches. ❤️
Yes, that sounds great, the rice bag. 😁❤️
This is great! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Kathryn for your video and an alternative way to stitch these amazing blocks. I think for me the foundation square will be the way to go but I will try both as you suggest as you never know until you try.
Nice surprise, thank you ❤
Folks, I keep meaning to ask, are we all letting the ads run to generate income for k3n? I do that on another channel since someone suggested it, to say a small thanks for all the content! Just a thought x
Thank you Rosie that's so considerate of you. I have disabled mid video ads because I think they are really annoying. But the ads at the beginning, I don't know if it makes a difference to the proportion I receive if they are skipped or not.. hadn't thought of it. Must admit I skip when watching other people. Thank you so much, I will check it out and stop skipping. 😊❤️
Ok just had a read, skipping does affect revenue so I will definitely stop doing it when watching other TH-camrs. Thank you so much Rosie, it honestly never occurred to me. Perhaps I will say something in a future video, not only for my sake but also for my favourite fellow TH-camrs as well ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales I didn’t think about it myself until somebody pointed it out on another channel a few years ago!
I feel with some channels, like yours, I appreciate the content so much that even if I can’t afford to send you a coffee, I can just be patient for a few seconds and let the advert finish!
Thank you again Rosie, next time I am 'wittering', I will mention it. 😁❤️
I’m always so focused on seeing the content that I do skip through the ads within videos. They are super annoying because they interrupt the speaker’s thoughts, sentences, and even words, sometimes. THANK YOU for disabling them K3n! I will make sure I don’t skip the ones on the ends, though.
Enjoyed the video thank you
Thank you. 😊
Omgosh I LOVE this rice bag!!! It's stunning! Can I ask what you meant when you said 'stick type stitch'? I couldn't quite see and am intrigued - i am still learning stitches! I love your videos so much
Thank you 😊 what I call a stick type stitch (not a correct term 😂) is actually a version of ladder stitch. You make rows of vertical stitches, like tally marks. I need to make a video about them for the Slowstitches series. ❤️
Очень красиво ,я учусь увас ❤
Thanks for the extra tutorial. In the studio tour is your overlap lap quilt, could it be done with hankies ? Some have crocheted edges. I just love that overlap in white logs. Mary from west Colorado ❤
Oh yes, that would be fabulous 😊
Okay, I can give my two cents worth , it's doable😅. One hankie per block they are very thin and need the backing. I had to piece about three or four logs to keep light and dark sides. Maybe I'll mix a few in with other blocks of recycled fabrics for lap quilt
Thanks
Thank YOU 🙏😊
Спасибо большое Вам за такую красоту! 🌷💐❤️🌹🥰🌺🔥
K3n you are amazing. The time you take to teach us is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.🥰
I really love all the thinks you are making 😍Would you sew the same type of sting if the squares are for at hole blanket?
Thank you, yes I would, I would just be sure to stitch down the raw edges. They go through the wash fine then. 😁❤️
