I think this is my very favorite of all your videos. Thank you, Kate, for showing me that it is okay to work slowly on a project and that it is also okay to work on several projects at once.
Hello Kate, Norma and all who are resting on the sofa. Beautiful colors and like that machine you are using. ☔ Here atop my little hill in Idaho the same rainy day has set in. Hope you all will pass these brownies down to the others. Did anyone find the Purple and green tea cozy I left on the sofa last week? If you like it enough to want one, just pick it up and wish yourself up one. Nobody but the one holding it can see it, but then that is one of the things what makes the LGS and magic wishes so much fun isn't it? 💞
Hello Susan! June gloom here in Washington state as well. Thanks for the Brownies. Didn't notice a tea cozy, but I'm drinking coffee today. A delicious dark roast. All those who'd like some, hold your mug up.
This is my favourite kind of video. It's as if we are all in your kitchen while you work and chat with us about how you are making the quilt. It is sweet when the cats put in an appearance and gently drift away again. It's just so quiet, tranquil, serene and calming. Thank you Kate.
Lucky Agnes🦄 She will have a beautiful quilt that her grandma made especially for her. I’m sure she will cherished forever and someday tuck her own children in to bed with this beautiful quilt. Really beautiful Kate💜💙💚
I, too found you and you're my very best friend 💕. Everything about your posts are so uplifting and encouraging ❤️. Yet so very realistic 😂. Thank you! Thank you! Lost my hubby 19 most ago and found you to drag me out of melancholy to joy! Wisconsin USA / Michelle A very busy grandma of 16 and one great!
Hello, Kate. It's good to see you. I've put aside my son and daughter-in-law's quilt to make curtains for my grand daughter's room. I'm using all my scraps and sewing them sort of like a crazy quilt. I have to make six panels and have finished two (have not put lining on yet and grommets). I got her these very cute rods with polka dots in pink, red, green, and blue. And many of the scraps were fabrics I used in her quilt. Right now, her favorite color is pink. I am putting grommets in the curtains so she can open and close them herself. At almost four years of age, she's very into doing everything herself. In less than a month, she will be sharing her mom and dad and me with a baby brother. Your hexagons look wonderful. Be safe. And to all of you on the lime green sofa, stay safe, too.
What a great number of quilts you must have made to have accumulated so many scraps. It's extra special that a bit of each quilt will one day keep Agnes safe and warm.
This is the first time I have ever seen a hexagon quilt. It is really beautiful and I'm sure your granddaughter will treasure it. Love the cupcake in the middle too. So much fun for her.
So pleased to have found your channel , l have had a giggle as l have watched these pieces on the wall. Then l watched you unpicking the pieces , as you had finished quilt........n now just found n watched you making pieces n fabric cutting. All back to front....I have learnt so much n enjoyed it all. So clever at every thing you do❤. I just need to see the final completed quilt
I have been "bing" watching your videos to catch up with all of them. this is my favorite so far. You are a refreshing to watch and a joy, I am inspired and encouraged.
I am doing the same soak it all in as want to make a hexi paper pieced quilt. I love Kates fabrics & the way she puts her colors together & absolutely love watching her explain the process. Such an artist! ❤
I've just watched your video and learnt so much about English quilting. So many tips. I bought one of your bird kits the other day but now I've seen you making it I will get on with finishing it. I'm very slow. I love your vibrant colours .
So much work! The great thing is, Agnes will enjoy this and you have all of the videos that she can see when she’s older, so she really appreciates how much time and effort grandma put into this amazing beautiful, colorful work of art!!
Good to see you again Kate 🥰 I’m an EPP enthusiast too, but now instead of basting with thread we use a glue stick. Works wonderfully. Sewline is the most common brand and makes basting a breeze 🥰
I’ve not tackled that project yet, but would love to. I’ve seen it done both ways and understand the timing of each method, but I think I would probably be like Denise and enjoy the work.
This is fabulous. A real work of art. I am currently making fabric collage art and have wanted a hand project to work on as well. This quilt for your little granddaughter is so beautiful, it could be hung on a large wall and gazed at for hours. But even more valuable is that you are creating such a piece of art that will make Agnes' visits so wonderful and cozy. You have a real eye for placement of color for a flowing vibe. It reminds me of a little lilly pond we had once (with goldfish). My husband built a pergola above it and we planted heirloom wisteria that draped beautifully over the pond. It drew bees, but it was magical. I have always enjoyed EPP but your Agnes Quilt has to be my favorite of all time. And thanks for sharing your methods. I had been using the glue stick, but now that I think about it, I like your method better. I have really enjoyed watching your videos. Thanks so much!
Oh Kate I took the jump...I have ordered my very own personal iPad. Quite a bit of expense right at this moment.. But being in during the pandemic.. I decided to reward myself. This quilt is stunningly beautiful...lucky Miss Agnes.
I love hearing and watching Kate! i feel like i’m there in their room! so comfortable and learn how to use a foam board to put the hexagons and start where they want to travel- i would like the Sizzle cut- off hexagon- Fun and life! Thank you ! every-time!
Yea!!! It’s Kate. Sure glad you decided to make a video. Wow. The quilt for Agnes is gorgeous. What yummy colors. Really Kate. What is a video without Norma. Lol. Oh my. That quilt is “eye candy”.
A lovely way to start my day,,,,, What gorgeous colors,Kate! I saw someone use a glue stick thing to rub on the fabric so it sticks to the cardboard! But I have sewn mine ,too,,,, Have done this,,,,and have them done but sewn together in flowers,,,for grandmother's flower garden,,,,,Never got any further!!! It would be a small quilt ,,,! You are so good with color!! Elaine in canada🏡🏠🏡🏠 Stay well,,,,,
Lazy Sundays are the best when I get to spend a bit of time with Kate. I so look forward to the time. The hexies are fabulous. I have a Grandmother's Flower Garden started using 1930s reproduction fabrics. Maybe someday I'll finish it. I love the colors you are using in your quilt. You have a special touch for putting the colors together. Take care, Kate. Till next time. love. XO
Thanks so much for showing your design process Kate, it’s exactly what I needed. Ever since I saw your completed Agnes quilt, I’ve been wanting one of my own. I unearthed a “cools” Kaffe Fassett junior jelly roll, and promptly began cutting and thread basting a pile of 1” hexies. I also cut from my yardage stash, since I have few scraps because I’ve only made 2 quilt so far, and one was a jelly roll race, so no real scraps there. But that’s ok. I see fabrics I’ve accumulated over the years as my paints, and now it’s time to start using some of that paint to create the art I want. I’ve not got as much variety as you so far, but I’ve only got about 400 hexies basted, and can shop my stash first for some purples and aquas and teals and blues, because those are the colours I like. Thanks to you, I know I need to have a mix of darks and lights in with my mostly mediums, for a balanced design. Better get out to that hardware store to look for some foamboard that’s thick enough for my pins … and some more painters’ tape to hold my hexies together as I prefer the flat-back seaming method to sew my hexies together. No deadline, so I’m taking my time to enjoy the process. I appreciate all the videos you made on this quilt (& even those where Agnes’s quilt was the backdrop!). Thank you! ~Diana K.
Watching you play with the pieces as you decide where they should go reminds me of your video where you working on the jigsaw puzzle. Many of the same skills put to use, but here there is no one answer for where to put a piece. Very freeing! No wonder you enjoy it so!
I throughly love following you. I am a quilter and enjoy watching you create. I live in Pennsylvania, USA but enjoy your English works and chuckle at the things you call stuff. Please stay safe and be busy.
It’s beautiful, so glad you shared. You are very inspiring. All my crafty things have moved 1500 miles ahead of me. I can’t wait til I can work on my hexagon quilt again. A quilt I never would have imagined going until I watched your videos! Thank you!!
Although I am no sewer ( it requires a degree of accuracy I am not capable of giving) I could sit and watch you working this hexagon piece all day long. Just lovely and peaceful and artistic. It’s like a slow meander around a lake on a flowery pathway. That’s the feel I get. 🤗
Never would have thought to use my Big Shot to cut out fabric pieces. Brilliant! Love the beautiful colors in the hexagons! Such a labor of love for Agnes! TFS the inspiration, Kate!
Oh my goodness! Years ago when I was a teacher, there was a big building that the district called The Learning Resource Center. It was huge. And it had all kinds of things teachers would use from reference books to newspapers, to even decorating bulletin boards. And it was all free, provided by the district. Inside was a machine that I could cut things out of construction paper and put them on the bulletin board. Every time I would punch out a design, I would lament that it was too bad that people didn’t have such a machine for cutting out quilting pieces. Now I see there is such a thing! What a blessing for you.
Kate this is my favorite quilt. These are my favorite colors. I feel like I am taking a swim in the sea. Thank you for sharing and please show more as you go along. Take care. Ludmila Schicchi
I recently resurrected my Big Shot after many years of it sitting at the back of a shelf. I've been doing hexies with a view to making....something, haven't decided what, yet! I've made just under 400 1 and a half inch hexies so far.....I find it quite soothing, sitting basting away!
Your cranking the sizzix reminds me of cranking flannel diapers through the wringer washer... Eons ago. Love the layout of the hexies and the cupcake in the middle of it all. I have been watching Robson Green rambling through Northumberland, such beautiful countryside. It's next on my bucket list.
Nice to see you again Kate.watching you do the quilt for Agnes, is mesmerizing. It's a perfect gift . You have impressive gadgets, I'm well impressed!!!
lovely quilt Kate, It is good to have a sleepy day sometimes, and do a project that does not need to be finished in a hurry or soon, just had a nap here too think un early night here, have a beautiful week Kate, stay safe , stay well and keep smiling x x
Hello Kate! Agnes is a fortunate granddaughter!😄💞 I absolutely loved watching you work on the EPP quilt that you are making for her. I love that you filmed the process. I have a box of hexis that I've been working on for four years. I came to a place where my original design just wasn't pleasing to anymore. (It was in the grandmother's flower garden pattern and setup). I love the hexis that I've made, but just didn't want them to be arranged in that traditional pattern. Watching you inspired me to try laying it out similar to what you are doing. I now have a renewed excitement for piecing them again and, dare I say, finishing, a new design!! Thank you for your kind and gentle, relaxing demeanor. I was sorry to hear about your getting the flu. I wish for you a speedy and full recovery! Take good care of yourself! You are loved by so many! P.S. I LOVE THE PINCUSHIONS that you put together for the shop!!!! I will definitely be ordering a couple. What a great idea! Sooooo CUTE. With much love from Sacramento, California, USA,
Love your podcast and hexagon quilt Kate! I'm a new subscriber from Arne and Carlos. I made a queen size Grandmother's Garden from hexagons about 25 years ago. It was all handmade but I traced each piece with pencil on my fabric and cut each piece out by had, No Sizzix machine. I did not use papers just hand stitched the seams. It was on our bed for years but now it is so worn and put away in a cedar chest. That was such a fun project. Yours will be so beautiful. But maybe you have finished it by now, Glad to see you have a kitty. I have two girl kitties and they are so much company, Looking forward to watching more of your videos,
I was setting in my recliner working on my hexie quilt and thought of you. Then your post popped up. So glad you decided to post. Lovely quilt top. I have been thinking of doing a blue one very scrappy. There is always a plan floating in my head. I will run out of time before I run out of plans. Lol. Hugs.
Joen Perkins I know what you mean about running out of time when you still have so many ideas in my head. I’m 70 now and do t work nearly fast enough now-a-days. I’ll never get all the ideas and desires done that are in my head!! Ha!
Hi Kate , l was wondering were you bought your cutting machine from its brilliant , l love doing hexagons but the cutting machine will make it a lot easier for me, hope you can help
I have not been on for a while doing things with my mom and dad but now it's time to watch I just bought a thimble like yours and I live it thank you for telling me about it awhile ago
What a treasure! Thanks for taking us through your decision-making process as you design, it's my favorite part of quilting. You get to PLAY with your fabrics! And make something wonderful at the same time...
I started making simple Xmas ornaments from hexagons last week and I'm hooked. You've inspired me to make quilts for my grandkids now. I see you have an eager assistant too :) I never sew alone. Every time I sit down to sew my roomie's cat comes over to help. He very thoughtful, he likes to hold the fabric down using his entire body and knock the pincushion closer to me - crap aim though, it usually ends up on the floor... still, he tries, bless him. It's a wet and dreary day here (Victoria BC). Today I'm tired of lockdown, missing my grandkids, and sad about Christmas ... glad I ran into this video it's cheered me right up. I really enjoy spending time with you here on TH-cam, thanks :)
I never knew what I would do with the machine you are using. Brilliant and I will be on the search for one. They work so efficiently. I LOVE your beautiful glasses. Very smart. It has been 30 years ...since I have played with hexagons. I will gather up my beautiful scraps this summer and will have a portable process to take with me outside for summertime projects. Agnes will enjoy her time with Grandma Kate for years to come. Quiet days are essential now ...a breathing room space to nourish our souls. Peace be with you Kate.
Hi Kate -- I love the hexagons. They make such a beautiful quilt. While watching all of your old videos I came across one where you asked how we found your channel. I found it when I turned youtube on one day. On my home page where they have all the thumbnails in rows like NETFLIX your thumbnail was the first one. It was the one of you doing the tribute to Hercules. I enjoyed it and so I started watching all of your videos. I can't get enough of them; I just enjoy watching and listening to you. Now, I just finished watching a 2 year old video of Hercules Candy the thumbnail of which was on my home page. Guess what it was? It was all about you. Terry was choosing all kinds of candy to send to you and then packed up the box -- over 6 pounds of chocolate! I have completely finished watching ALL of your videos -- 3 days of marathon watching. So, Kate, keep them coming.
Thank you. I am putting my cushion together, and I was just lost as how to put it together. After watching, I hope I can see how to play around with the colors. Now, the cushion doesn't have as many colors to work with. But after seeing you back and forth, I am hoping it works for me. You always help, you are amazing. I love Agnes quilt so much. The colors are just beautiful. Thanks again for your videos. Have a wonderful day.😊
Love this. I have never considered this project. I think I would like this, something you can leave and come back to. Thank you Kate😘. Hello everybody.
Hello Kate. Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed it. Your little cutting machine is brilliant! I love your quilt. It looks like a coral reef and I think the circle fabrics makes it seem as though little fishes are peeping lol. Lovely. Take care now xxx
I love that you are doing hexigans because last week I decided to make something with a hexigan pattern. As I've never done these before I so looked on TH-cam, however your idea of setting them out and pinning them onto a board was brilliant. So thank you Kate I just need to buy the cutting out machine.
Hello Kate. I love this hexagon quilt and the colours are gorgeous. There’s nothing better than playing with fabric, especially when the rain is falling, and you don’t feel guilty about not being in the garden....bliss!
I just found your channel yesterday. I LOVE this! I tried it... Wow, you make it look So EASY! I'd love to get my hands on one of those cutters! I looked them up.. over 100 dollars! That ain't happening for awhile! Lol I hope I can cut them out by hand and get them them all the right size! The quilt your mother made is beautiful! I probably wouldn't use it either!
My dear Kate, I have binge watching your videos on the last Sunday in January 2021. I have enjoyed each video all over again. I have noticed your thimble and have tried to find one in the shops in my town in South Carolina. No Luck,, I have a hard time using the timbles I have bought. Please tell me how I can get one like yours. I want to try making a hexagon piece for my dining table. Thank you for teaching us and especially the older ones who have never learned this way to quilt. Adore your cats and your country side. I think it much be wonderful to walk in your country side and see all of God's beautiful creations. Your flowers blooming , and the birdsongs. Thank you for sharing.❤
I absolutely adore this pattern Grandmother’s Flower Garden. Watching you English paper piece and hand baste is lovely and peaceful. It’s nice to see the traditional ways are still being used. Take care till we see you again. ♥️
I have not watched for months, glad to see all is well!... Both Norma and you look wonderful! I love your hair longer,( I only notice, because I am trying to grow my hair out,right now😂,( it takes forever). .... I looked you up, especially, for a hexagon paper piecing video, ( I just knew I could find one with you...As, I have watched and enjoyed you doing this ,before but, now,I am ready to give it a try. Yours looks beautiful! Thank you!
Hi Kate Love the colour pallet of this quilt I am a real Hexi girl always have some in my car in our Campervan just to sit and stitch,I find very soothing and relaxing have a good day Kate😊
Beautiful quilt made me want to pull my Grandmother's flower garden out to work on it. I had no idea the Sizzix would cut material. You have changed my life! Thanks so much for your lovely company. Hugs❤
I cannot tell you how very much I’m enjoying your channel, new sub here! I so long to have a friend like you near me where we could stitch all day long😊. Thank you very much!
Hi Kate! 💐 This is your new friend, Marie from Sweden. I love this video 💕 Thanks för the tutorial! The quilts look beautiful. The cat is adorable 🐈 Have a nice day 🌷 Take care!
I think this is my very favorite of all your videos. Thank you, Kate, for showing me that it is okay to work slowly on a project and that it is also okay to work on several projects at once.

Hello Susan! June gloom here in Washington state as well. Thanks for the Brownies. Didn't notice a tea cozy, but I'm drinking coffee today. A delicious dark roast. All those who'd like some, hold your mug up.
Wow !
By now Norma probably knows how to make her own quilts. I so love to see her and your other kitties in your videos.
This is my favourite kind of video. It's as if we are all in your kitchen while you work and chat with us about how you are making the quilt. It is sweet when the cats put in an appearance and gently drift away again. It's just so quiet, tranquil, serene and calming. Thank you Kate.

Lucky Agnes🦄 She will have a beautiful quilt that her grandma made especially for her. I’m sure she will cherished forever and someday tuck her own children in to bed with this beautiful quilt. Really beautiful Kate💜💙💚
I, too found you and you're my very best friend 💕. Everything about your posts are so uplifting and encouraging ❤️. Yet so very realistic 😂. Thank you! Thank you!
Lost my hubby 19 most ago and found you to drag me out of melancholy to joy!
Wisconsin USA / Michelle
A very busy grandma of 16 and one great!
I lovvvvve your sweet kitty! Love this video in general I got some great tips 6:29 , I’ve never been able to sew with a cat in my lap.LoL
Hello, Kate. It's good to see you. I've put aside my son and daughter-in-law's quilt to make curtains for my grand daughter's room. I'm using all my scraps and sewing them sort of like a crazy quilt. I have to make six panels and have finished two (have not put lining on yet and grommets). I got her these very cute rods with polka dots in pink, red, green, and blue. And many of the scraps were fabrics I used in her quilt. Right now, her favorite color is pink. I am putting grommets in the curtains so she can open and close them herself. At almost four years of age, she's very into doing everything herself. In less than a month, she will be sharing her mom and dad and me with a baby brother.
Your hexagons look wonderful. Be safe. And to all of you on the lime green sofa, stay safe, too.
I so like hanging out with my friend Kate!
It’s very nice to see people slow down and enjoy the process. I love the way the hex quilt is evolving 😍
What a great number of quilts you must have made to have accumulated so many scraps. It's extra special that a bit of each quilt will one day keep Agnes safe and warm.
This is the first time I have ever seen a hexagon quilt. It is really beautiful and I'm sure your granddaughter will treasure it. Love the cupcake in the middle too. So much fun for her.
I just found your channel, and love your videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. So relaxing just sitting with you and learning.
So pleased to have found your channel , l have had a giggle as l have watched these pieces on the wall. Then l watched you unpicking the pieces , as you had finished quilt........n now just found n watched you making pieces n fabric cutting. All back to front....I have learnt so much n enjoyed it all.

So much work! The great thing is, Agnes will enjoy this and you have all of the videos that she can see when she’s older, so she really appreciates how much time and effort grandma put into this amazing beautiful, colorful work of art!!
Good to see you again Kate 🥰 I’m an EPP enthusiast too, but now instead of basting with thread we use a glue stick. Works wonderfully. Sewline is the most common brand and makes basting a breeze 🥰
I agree a glue stick is a darn site quicker than all that hand basting. Take note Kate!!!
I've used a glue stick but have gone back to basting as I find it quite therapeutic
I’ve not tackled that project yet, but would love to. I’ve seen it done both ways and understand the timing of each method, but I think I would probably be like Denise and enjoy the work.
This is fabulous. A real work of art. I am currently making fabric collage art and have wanted a hand project to work on as well.

Oh Kate I took the jump...I have ordered my very own personal iPad. Quite a bit of expense right at this moment..
But being in during the pandemic..
I decided to reward myself. This quilt is stunningly beautiful...lucky Miss Agnes.
I showed my father his mother's flower garden quilt top he said he recognised pieces from old shirts he'd worn.
I love hearing and watching Kate! i feel like i’m there in their room! so comfortable and learn how to use a foam board to put the hexagons and start where they want to travel- i would like the Sizzle cut- off hexagon- Fun and life! Thank you ! every-time!

Beth P Ellis machine.
Beth P, yes, whenever I see someone using a Sisix machine, I wonder what would happen if I tried fabric on the Ellison press at school.
Love watching you work on your hexie quilt... I have watched it several times
Kate this is my favorite quilt. These are my favorite colors. I feel like I am taking a swim in the sea. Thank you for sharing and please show more as you go along. Take care. Ludmila Schicchi
Oh that is going to be so pretty when it is done. I could watch you do that all day .
This will be absolutely gorgeous! Agnes is such a lucky little girl to have such a wonderfully talented Grandma who loves her so much!
Hi Kate! I really enjoyed watching you work! What a wonderful gift for a lucky little girl! TFS Hugs!
Lovely colors, those hexagons🟢🔵🟣 Agnes will love it 🤩💃
I recently resurrected my Big Shot after many years of it sitting at the back of a shelf. I've been doing hexies with a view to making....something, haven't decided what, yet! I've made just under 400 1 and a half inch hexies so far.....I find it quite soothing, sitting basting away!
Wow.. wow... wow..... It's going to be so beautiful Kate. I'm sure Agnes will cherish it forever.
I find myself smiling back at you when you smile in the camera! It's like visiting with a dear friend!!!
The quilt is a real visual delight!!
Your cranking the sizzix reminds me of cranking flannel diapers through the wringer washer... Eons ago. Love the layout of the hexies and the cupcake in the middle of it all. I have been watching Robson Green rambling through Northumberland, such beautiful countryside. It's next on my bucket list.

lovely quilt Kate, It is good to have a sleepy day sometimes, and do a project that does not need to be finished in a hurry or soon, just had a nap here too think un early night here, have a beautiful week Kate, stay safe , stay well and keep smiling x x
Hello Kate! Agnes is a fortunate granddaughter!😄💞
I absolutely loved watching you work on the EPP quilt that you are making for her. I love that you filmed the process. I have a box of hexis that I've been working on for four years. I came to a place where my original design just wasn't pleasing to anymore. (It was in the grandmother's flower garden pattern and setup). I love the hexis that I've made, but just didn't want them to be arranged in that traditional pattern. Watching you inspired me to try laying it out similar to what you are doing. I now have a renewed excitement for piecing them again and, dare I say, finishing, a new design!!
Thank you for your kind and gentle, relaxing demeanor. I was sorry to hear about your getting the flu. I wish for you a speedy and full recovery!
Take good care of yourself! You are loved by so many!
P.S. I LOVE THE PINCUSHIONS that you put together for the shop!!!! I will definitely be ordering a couple. What a great idea! Sooooo CUTE. With much love from Sacramento, California, USA,
Thank you for the way you explained the epp way of hand quilting. I love Hand sewing and watching your videos.
Love your podcast and hexagon quilt Kate! I'm a new subscriber from Arne and Carlos. I made a queen size Grandmother's Garden from hexagons about 25 years ago. It was all handmade but I traced each piece with pencil on my fabric and cut each piece out by had, No Sizzix machine. I did not use papers just hand stitched the seams. It was on our bed for years but now it is so worn and put away in a cedar chest. That was such a fun project. Yours will be so beautiful. But maybe you have finished it by now, Glad to see you have a kitty. I have two girl kitties and they are so much company, Looking forward to watching more of your videos,
I was setting in my recliner working on my hexie quilt and thought of you. Then your post popped up. So glad you decided to post. Lovely quilt top. I have been thinking of doing a blue one very scrappy. There is always a plan floating in my head. I will run out of time before I run out of plans. Lol. Hugs.
Always good to have back up ideas and plans!
Joen Perkins I know what you mean about running out of time when you still have so many ideas in my head. I’m 70 now and do t work nearly fast enough now-a-days. I’ll never get all the ideas and desires done that are in my head!! Ha!
@@annelefevre9457 Just sign up for 30 more years with option to renew. Keep sewing. ))) Kate 74
Wow I am blown away by this cutting your material in. I never thought of doing that. I have cut mine up by hand with scissors ✂️
Beautiful your granddaughter is a very lucky little girl x 😊
It is a jigsaw where you are the boss! I love it 💖
Hi Kate , l was wondering were you bought your cutting machine from its brilliant , l love doing hexagons but the cutting machine will make it a lot easier for me, hope you can help
I am so happy that found your channel, I am thrilled ❤️❤️❤️ I am excited ❤️❤️❤️ I loooooove your channel soooo much.
Me too I’ve only found kates channel a couple of weeks ago
I have not been on for a while doing things with my mom and dad but now it's time to watch
I just bought a thimble like yours and I live it thank you for telling me about it awhile ago
This video prompted me to get out my stacks of hexies. Thanks Kate.
GOOD!!! xxx
Always come here for a feast to the eyes and ears.
Just lovely Kate. Thank you. Sleep well xx
I love hanging out with you Kate! You are so inspiring 💗
What a treasure! Thanks for taking us through your decision-making process as you design, it's my favorite part of quilting. You get to PLAY with your fabrics! And make something wonderful at the same time...
I started making simple Xmas ornaments from hexagons last week and I'm hooked. You've inspired me to make quilts for my grandkids now.
I see you have an eager assistant too :) I never sew alone. Every time I sit down to sew my roomie's cat comes over to help. He very thoughtful, he likes to hold the fabric down using his entire body and knock the pincushion closer to me - crap aim though, it usually ends up on the floor... still, he tries, bless him.
It's a wet and dreary day here (Victoria BC). Today I'm tired of lockdown, missing my grandkids, and sad about Christmas ... glad I ran into this video it's cheered me right up. I really enjoy spending time with you here on TH-cam, thanks :)
hexagon quilt is just beautiful!!!
That is simply gorgeous!!
I never knew what I would do with the machine you are using. Brilliant and I will be on the search for one. They work so efficiently.
I LOVE your beautiful glasses. Very smart. It has been 30 years ...since I have played with hexagons. I will gather up my beautiful scraps this summer and will have a portable process to take with me outside for summertime projects. Agnes will enjoy her time with Grandma Kate for years to come.
Quiet days are essential now ...a breathing room space to nourish our souls. Peace be with you Kate.
Kate, thank you for doing all that you do! I very much enjoy your channel. Hello from Denver, Colorado!
What a beautiful little treat tonight. It’s lovely. Your videos are so relaxing.
Hi Kate -- I love the hexagons. They make such a beautiful quilt. While watching all of your old videos I came across one where you asked how we found your channel. I found it when I turned youtube on one day. On my home page where they have all the thumbnails in rows like NETFLIX your thumbnail was the first one. It was the one of you doing the tribute to Hercules. I enjoyed it and so I started watching all of your videos. I can't get enough of them; I just enjoy watching and listening to you. Now, I just finished watching a 2 year old video of Hercules Candy the thumbnail of which was on my home page. Guess what it was? It was all about you. Terry was choosing all kinds of candy to send to you and then packed up the box -- over 6 pounds of chocolate! I have completely finished watching ALL of your videos -- 3 days of marathon watching. So, Kate, keep them coming.
That quilt will be cherished for many many years it's beautiful
🤗 Will be pretty!
Wow Kate's that's really pretty love hexies!!!!! Love your set Norma what a little lovey!!!!!!
Thank you. I am putting my cushion together, and I was just lost as how to put it together. After watching, I hope I can see how to play around with the colors. Now, the cushion doesn't have as many colors to work with. But after seeing you back and forth, I am hoping it works for me. You always help, you are amazing. I love Agnes quilt so much. The colors are just beautiful. Thanks again for your videos. Have a wonderful day.😊
It will be a treasure once done - lovely gift for Agnes!
Love this. I have never considered this project. I think I would like this, something you can leave and come back to. Thank you Kate😘. Hello everybody.
Hello to you also! Lovely to see so many people on the lime green sofa.🙏🖖👍🌱🤠🌹🤗
Hello Kate. Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed it. Your little cutting machine is brilliant! I love your quilt. It looks like a coral reef and I think the circle fabrics makes it seem as though little fishes are peeping lol. Lovely. Take care now xxx
I love that you are doing hexigans because last week I decided to make something with a hexigan pattern. As I've never done these before I so looked on TH-cam, however your idea of setting them out and pinning them onto a board was brilliant. So thank you Kate I just need to buy the cutting out machine.
Love your cutter! Never seen one before😽Love everything you do Kate xx
Hello Kate. I love this hexagon quilt and the colours are gorgeous. There’s nothing better than playing with fabric, especially when the rain is falling, and you don’t feel guilty about not being in the garden....bliss!
Just lovely! 🧵✂️❤️
I just found your channel yesterday. I LOVE this! I tried it... Wow, you make it look So EASY! I'd love to get my hands on one of those cutters! I looked them up.. over 100 dollars! That ain't happening for awhile! Lol
I hope I can cut them out by hand and get them them all the right size!
The quilt your mother made is beautiful! I probably wouldn't use it either!
My dear Kate, I have binge watching your videos on the last Sunday in January 2021. I have enjoyed each video all over again. I have noticed your thimble and have tried to find one in the shops in my town in South Carolina. No Luck,, I have a hard time using the timbles I have bought. Please tell me how I can get one like yours. I want to try making a hexagon piece for my dining table. Thank you for teaching us and especially the older ones who have never learned this way to quilt. Adore your cats and your country side. I think it much be wonderful to walk in your country side and see all of God's beautiful creations. Your flowers blooming , and the birdsongs. Thank you for sharing.❤
Like a puzzle lol beautiful Kat
Thank you this closeup of stitching. Just what I needed to feel confident I’m doing it right!
Beautiful ķate makes me think of an under the sea garden. I can see beautiful little fish swimming there,
You have inspired me to do a hexagon quilt am so enjoying stitching them in the evenings 😁
I absolutely adore this pattern Grandmother’s Flower Garden. Watching you English paper piece and hand baste is lovely and peaceful. It’s nice to see the traditional ways are still being used. Take care till we see you again. ♥️

Hi Kate Love the colour pallet of this quilt I am a real Hexi girl always have some in my car in our Campervan just to sit and stitch,I find very soothing and relaxing have a good day Kate😊
Beautiful quilt made me want to pull my Grandmother's flower garden out to work on it. I had no idea the Sizzix would cut material. You have changed my life! Thanks so much for your lovely company. Hugs❤
I cannot tell you how very much I’m enjoying your channel, new sub here! I so long to have a friend like you near me where we could stitch all day long😊. Thank you very much!

Just beautiful layout. I like your tips on how to arrange the colors. Good idea to pin on a styrofoam board.
