This all started with me tidying out those drawers - remember? I found a heap of pink and red fabric that had been tucked away ages ago and wondered what to do with it - you guys knew of course - a Scrappy Quilt!
You all helped me make decisions about the layout and the sashing - I read every comment and took a consensus from you all - white with red cornerstones it was.
My usual style is to hand quilt - but this needed something bigger! So there was a road trip to Cumbria to meet with Cath
cumbrianlongarmquilting.co.uk
who generously allowed me to film her working on her latest commission.
So this is the final video in that series - and you can own this quilt if you feel so inclined!

the music in this video is from the long long list that TH-cam allows me to use without infringing copyright. I rather like this one, its called 'Tupelo Train'
(some of them are REALLY bad!)
see you next time

I make my binding 2 and 1/2 inches, fold it in half and stitch it down. I sew the back by hand. It makes a slim binding.
My cat Annabelle always helped me do my counted crossstitch. She was totally fascinated where my boys had no interest at all.
Norma is precious. All cats are precious. I came from quilters. Love this.
Isn't it lovely to have our cats close to us. I've had so many over the years. As many as seven. Now I have just five. Four boys and one little lady of advanced years who rules the roost. She is always next to me on the sofa. Dear Lily and Finn, Beau, Clemmie and Sirius. I am blessed.😊
I love your embroidered panel on the back of the quilt. The red fabric is yummy and cosy and the perfect foil for the beautiful quilt you made Kate 😊
Love this! And all from scraps. I would never think of putting pink and red together but it works so well, it’s beautiful ❤️ still working my way through your videos, love them all.
So beautiful, I adore this quilt….and Norma❤
This Red and Pink Quilt revealed itself so beautifully, just as it was meant to be all along. It was a pleasure watching it every step of the way.
Just Beautiful!
This was a beautiful quilt, I do love reds! And the pinks were perfect with it.
And I forwarded this video and you to my mum... she'll love you just as I do
Love that you didn't use green sashing but white w red cornerstones. BEAUTIFUL!!!
Kate...Dear Lady....you are having some well deserved time off.
Your creativity has inspired millions....Thankyou for turning your camera on. We Love your "bit of a chats."
Your pink and red quilt is lovely.I know there is much work in that. Thanks for sharing.
What a lovely quilt
Another BEAUTIFUL quilt.
I love your wide scrappy binding Kate. You make me feel guilty seeing all you accomplish
I love watching your quilt shows. I found it by looking at different quilt shows and I just love the way you do your quilts. I'm learning so much about other stuff. I watch you every single day now. I don't hardly ever watch the other quilt shows. You're my favorite. Thank you
I love, LOVE your scrappy quilt. It makes me remember the quilt that was on my grandmother's bed. I was told to take a nap on it but laid there looking at all the different fabrics. Seems like yesterday instead of 65 years ago. I have that quilt now and I treasure it.
I would have bid on this if I had known you then Kate. My favorite!! Gorgeous.
I like this red and pink quilt, it's beautiful in its designs. Thanks for showing the process of finding and sewing on your label. The key forward to seeing more videos, Thanks for posting.
Wow , fabulous , beautiful colours . I love your enthusiam . Im sure i have said before , i am 82 , i must admit i dont have quite the energy that i used to have but i feel i must keep going , making something . You really inspire me . Its good for the old brain . Please keep making things , love your videos . 😀
This quilt is absolutely lovely and my favorite color red!!!
Beautiful quilt! I loved watching you do the finishing touches.
I can imagine the cozy feel and joy. I am working on the first quilt I'm keeping for myself. It is made of Kaffe Fassett Reds and Greens using the split rail fence pattern. I am thinking of naming it Homage to KF and Watermelon. Very Vibrant. Blessings dear Kate and I know you enjoy your quilt.
Kate. Very pretty. Love it all to include the roll and tie. ❤
I love your patience with Norma. She adores her time with you. And we do too!
This quilt I absolutely love. The making of a bigger block made all the difference. Brenda from Tennessee.
I am sad that there are no additional videos on this quilt. I so enjoyed each one. I am sure I will watch them again and again. Thank you for a wonderful time a great education and a complete up turn to my outlook on life. Ludmila Schicchi
I think I made all the stages - there are other quilt videos - in the past and no doubt - in my future! xxx
Aww. Sweet Norma. My sweet boy Abe would be the same way. Had him for 15 years before he passed last February. I still miss him terribly. Cats and fabric are like magnets. 💕
Kate, i have learned a few things from you- first, its ok to have multi projects going at once. I have 2 quilts in frames- one in the living room and one upstairs. I am also knitting on two sweaters. I have a wedding ring quilt partially completed and am paper piecing a grandmother’s flower garden that I’ve been working on for years. So i enjoy your videos very much. Lol.
Hello my special friend! I know this is an older video but since it included a segment about the binding on your quilt, I thought it was a great place to leave a comment. I have been busy for the last couple of weeks making a very special quilt as a Christmas gift for a friend. Since I usually make quilts for charity, I usually sew the binding down on both sides with my machine just to make sure they wear well over time. But for this one, I decided to hand stitch the binding in place. I sewed the binding to the back with my machine and folded it over and hand stitched the front down. I'm not much of a hand sewer so I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to finish without jumping over to the machine. But I'm happy to say that I stitched the entire quilt binding down by hand and it looks absolutely lovely! And... I thought of you the entire time. I actually enjoyed myself! Your unhurried approach to things is rubbing off! Ha! It didn't take nearly as long as I thought, and by not hurrying so much, I was able to keep my stitches even... and they are invisible! So there you go! Thanks for your help in making my friend's Christmas present! Take care... :)
Lanelle Hatcher oh, this makes me happy! I often worry why folk are in such a rush! Taking time and enjoying the process rather than just wanting the thing finished - well, you’ve made my point for me! Life in the slow lane is very good! Xxxxx
What gorgeous quilting!! The red thread is absolutely the best!! This will be a well-loved quilt, comfy, cozy, and scrappy!! 🧵🪡✂️💕
Gorgeose Kate! Almost Japanese at the end.
I love seeing Norma. I love her coming in the videos. Kate she loves you so much. By the way I love Norma’s book. I took it to my Sewing Circle. All of us read it they loved it and they the picture of Norma. Norma is famous in New Orleans Louisiana USA. I love you pink and red quilt it’s gorgeous. I’m making a scrappy quilt with the The Fat Quarter Shop. Thanks for all your videos they’re great
I think if you know Norma's story, you will see that she won't leave my side ever again! she';s on my knee now - making it very difficult to type! Thank you Kris xxx and greetings to your sewing friends - the best sort! xxx
That is the most beautiful quilt...I love your enthusiasm and to be your friend would be such a treasure.i love all your videos,I just started watching them this week,I don’t know how I missed them but iv3 already learned so much! You are refreshing. I love Norma!
Love the red quilting on it. It really pops.
It's so pretty, even more after you washed it.
You are a perfectionist Kate, and such a beautiful quilted blanket, really enjoyed watching you sew and chat xx best wishes jeane xxx
Oh my some of my favorite colors, as you can see from my name & my channel thumbnail pic of a doily I crocheted.
This quilt is gorgeous & reminds me of all the beautiful scrap quilts my grandma made. I think this is what may have started my love for all fabrics when I was a very tiny girl. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Love, love, love it. Whom ever is the recipient, is one lucky goose. My favorite shot was hanging off the railing of the tree house. Beautiful. It looked like spring.
it certainly is getting to be more like spring out there xxx gardening soon! xxx
Another beautiful quilt. 😊
I love your cats curiosity and smooching level. She gave me a real giggle and I could relate also.
My niece has become an accomplished long armer and quilt maker.
She encouraged me to give her a try and i have never looked back.
The unboxing of your pink beauty reminds me of the joy and excitement when mine are returned.
Your impact on my life cannot be measured! Thankyou!
That's a nice piece of embroidery there! Just the type i would love to see on a quilt!
Another stunning finish, Kate! I have always loved red - particularly red shoes 😃
Whomever should receive this quilt is getting a real treasure! I have tried to use a walking foot to quilt a single bed sized quilt and I just kept ending up with the machine and all in my lap! They don't make nice and heavy machines anymore. I took a king sized quilt to a friend in Tennessee and we stayed up one night together quilting it on a Singer industrial machine.
Stunning quilt Kate, thanks for sharing with us..
Oh, so beautiful. You're so talented, Kate.
I adore this quilt. Thank you for sharing.
I love doing the binding also, believe it the best part as you know it is nearly finished.
I have a very nice long arm quilter but she takes 5 or 6 months to give me back the quilts I give her. I can't complain because she does a fabulous work . I live near Barcelona, in a village called Sant Cugat del Vallès. The quilt you made gae me an idea for my scraps. It turned out really lovely, as does everything you make.
That red and pink quilt was 😍
Love the quilt, and love Norma! She obviously loves you and wants to be by you! Very sweet!
I bet Norma could do some fine stitchery herself watching so intently! Don't you dare tempt me with a Blue and Green quilt!, those have been my favorite color combos since I was a little girl.
blue and green are having a little design party in my head - but it could be a while! xxx
Hi Kate. Congrats. The quilt is done & it looks great. You are more patient than I with your hand finished binding. So glad you went with white sashing too.
On a serious note - I'm so glad you documented the process of creation and hope you have started a global awareness amongst your non-quilting subscribers, who will also spread the word with some knowledge to the uninitiated. I feel there is a lack of awareness regarding the time and materials involved, which means people are unwilling to pay a fair price for the final product. It is, after all, a bespoke item.
On a happier note - we love Norma's photo bombing butt :) Guaranteed to happen.
Take care Kate,
Regards from Oz. xx
This is a very interesting comment - because this question of pricing work has frustrated makers the world over. when I worked at a salaried job, no-one questioned that I should earn the amount I did - but now that I 'work for myself' there is a feeling that I should practically give the work away. Now - I do give work away to those I love when it is made to be a gift - but if it is my livelihood - and it is - then I made myself a promise that I would not work for less than the minimum wage. This quilt then - you all saw how long it took, the machine quilting had a cost, the materials, design and time, all too have a cost. - and I have placed a reserve of £400 which is nowhere near the £8 an hour minimum wage, plus all the other costs. It is a big problem and I don't know how we resolve it. I have had a few exhibitions in the past and sold a few quilts - but if I price them fairly almost no-one will buy them. So I end up practically giving them away - or hanging on to them for when i need an extra special gift.
Its a problem and is why I almost never make quilts these days!
Thank you for raising that point .... all the way from Australia xxxxx
Norma and I wish you well xxxxx
Hi Kate, there are several dedicated quilting sites that ponder this exact problem of pricing quilting for sale. And makers who discount there work devalue the whole industry, which then gives the public perception that that is all the work is worth.
If a carpenter can turn a lump of wood into a bowl to sell for his asking price and a baker can turn a cup of flour into an artisan loaf of bread and get his asking price, why can't quilters turn fabric into a bespoke quilt and get their asking price? That's why I though your Last Homely House site, with it's wider audience, would come to understand what is involved in the making of a quilt (including, the hidden costs of electricity, thread, batting, backing, longarm or hand quilting).
Your upcoming blue/green project could shed more light also to the uninitiated.
Lets see where this goes!
Regards from Oz.@@thelasthomelyhouse
Oh my...this is perhaps the most glorious quilt I have ever seen!!!! How wonderful and gobsmackingly gorgeous colors! I adore the randomness and the white sashing and everything about it! Such beautiful work Kate!!❤️❤️❤️
The quilt looks really great, I love red. I enjoyed the journey. Take care. 😊. ❤
It is so beautiful.
Beautiful quilt...thanks Kate ❤❤
So pretty.
I know this is an older video but it turned out absolutely beautiful Kate
Absolutely exquisite, a piece of art. Wonderful.
don't forget to sign your label with a prism pen!! That way, historians will know about you, and for provenance. Lovely quilt, just lovely! so cheerful!
oh - that's a new one on me - I'll research it! xxx thank you
Hi Kate I love the music you have on this video 😊
Such a lovely quilt. I enjoyed watching the progression.
Stunning quilt!
Absolutely stunning!
Beautiful quilt!!
I love watching your videos, it is so relaxing - like hanging out with an old friend.
I also love the music in this video, researching now for the artist.
Thank you for sharing your time, space and talent, I enjoy it so much❤️. Suzette - Arizona USA
I just sat and binge watched the making of this quilt and it was beautiful.Whoever gets it is a lucky soul.
Love the combination of pink and red.❤
The Red and Pink Scrappy Quilt is stunning. I love Norma and watching her. All your fur babies are so relaxing and fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey of the beautiful quilt you created. Much love from Tucson, Arizona, USA
Hi Kate, I absolutely love this quilt. I've never made quilts but this is really stunning. I may yet give it a go. Thank you so much for sharing it with us here on the green sofa. Love from South Wales. xx
A video without Norma just wouldn't be right. I love your kitty friends.
Prisms pen is what I meant to write. They are permanent fabric pens. You are th artist, and deserve the credit for your beautiful l work, and a hundred years from now, people will want to know the value of such a lovely ‘historical item. Make sure they know the name of the lovely woman who made the quilt, and the date that it was finish d. It will greatly increase my he value of any quilt. Happy to help! Provenance of anything is always important! :)
WOW! It turn out Beautiful Kate! You are a very talent Lady thank you for sharing!! God Bless Liz x
That quilt is gorgeous! Spectacular! 🎊
love this quilt. I should probably tell you I quilt while watching your show. Thank you for these programs
Your kitty, Norma. She makes me chuckle. She, and mine, and probably a billion other kitties, have a similar obsession with being loved when we're in the middle of quilting, or anything, and she seems to be keeping a close eye on your thread! We love 'em so much, but sometimes we're just like to be able to work on our projects!!
Ein gelungener Abschluss und es steckt soviel Handarbeit und Spaß darin. Ein schönes Stück. Es macht mir Freude das zu verfolgen. Danke fürs zeigen =) deine Idee für grün/ blau finde ich auch spannend. Viel Spaß dabei und viele Grüße.
Danke, ich weiß nicht, wann ich mit dem Grün-Blau-Projekt anfangen werde - aber es ist in meinem Kopf, also ist es ein Anfang! Passen Sie xxx auf
Aber ja. 👍🏻 Ich freue mich drauf.
Love the quilt!!!!! From the state of Oklahoma in the USA. And love your channel!!!
Beautifully done Kate! My favorite view, hanging from the tree house. That's how I found you, you know? You were making the fund raiser quilt to sell on eBay to donate to your friends. I fell in love with you then and there❣💕
Beautiful
Your quilt is absolutely beautiful and bright! Norma is a great friend and companion! I'm getting ready to square up my quilt and measure for binding, then will hand sew it!
Hi Kate
I've really enjoyed the final part of the quilt making journey it was so nice watching it from the beginning to the end. ❤
I really need that Scrappy Quilt in my life,😃 I'm working on my Husband without him knowing to try and convince him that he needs it too!
I keep sending him subliminal messages by text and everytime we talk I add in the odd word like scrappy, pink, red, quilt, bed during our conversation.
So hopefully I'll be able to place a bid on the quilt by the end of the week unless he has me sectioned into a Psychiatric Hospital, he's starting to look at me like I'm going a little crazy!🤪🤪
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO'S ENTERED THE GIVEAWAY!🍀🤞
do they have wifi in secure units? probably not Paloma - so you'd better behave yourself! ha ha!!! xxxxx
Oh so beautiful!! And the red thread is just super!! 🧵❤️
Just love your finished quilt Kate....and the music.
I LOVE the large scale design the quilter used! Like you said, it needed something as bold as the print and she nailed it. So lovely. I just love the way Norma shows up in each video. I actually find myself waiting for her entrance! She is a sweet little kitty.
Hello Kate. Such a lovely quilt. A video without Norma is like a day without sunshine!
ha ha!! well - the sun shines here every day then! xxx
Right on!! Gosh I enjoy your channel so much!
Very beautiful!
From Nevada, USA 🇺🇸
Lovely quilt. Thank you for sharing the process. It seems you live an absolutely peaceful life.
Love Norma cats and quilts love the colors😍😇
Hi Kate. What a great job of piecing the quilt and it is brought together with a really nice choice of pattern. Suddenly binding does not seem like a burden but just the fun finish for a beautiful quilt. You have done a lovely job. You look so excited and pleased with this quilt as you well should be. Ann
Thank you Ann! xxx
Oh, what a lovely Playlist to watch!!! (New subscriber here) I've been sewing for many years using both my standard machine and serger (which I love mostly for its efficiency). I've even sewn what I call puffy square "quilts", - which are really just comforters - but oh my the scrappy square technique you taught in this series makes me want to play more. Thank you soooo much!!! 💖🌹
Just found your videos and am so enjoying watching you make quilts. Thanks from Canada.
beautiful
Beautiful, Beautiful!!!!!! I laughed at Norma until my face hurt.... she is such a precious soul.... thanks for sharing.....
I enjoyed this so much dear new friend...I love the colors and the presentation was wonderful..Thank you for showing this lovely video.
What a beautiful quilt with the help of beautiful Norma x
Well done and beautiful, thanks for sharing.🙋♀️
I love the quilt and all the shows about it - Dotty Eisenhour
Wow - it's beautiful!
