Finishing my Kantha-Style Quilt for the CABIN!

- I have had such a lovely time learning how to make this - what I am calling my ‘Kantha Style’ quilt. I thought it might be made over three videos, but once I started stitching I just couldn’t stop until it was finished! I enjoyed making it so much. It is now on the bed in my cabin and I am thrilled with how it looks. In case you missed the first video in this two part series, I will pop a link to the video below!

Kate brings quilting back to where it belongs. Quilting should be fun, relaxing, and spiritual.
I have just found you Kate..and gone back through..binge watching your channel ❤
My partner just passed suddenly 😢..and you have saved me from giving up on life..that may sound strange..but we moved towns 2 weeks before he passed..so I knew no one..I feel like I'm sitting there having a coffee with my best friend..thank you from my heart to yours 💝🙏
Take care of yourself and keep reaching out. All of us on the LGS care and send you warm hugs. 🤗
You’re never really alone.. not even when you think you have no one. TH-cam and all the stitchy friends are here. Thank you Kate I so appreciate you and enjoy your videos.
So sorry to hear your sad news, we are all sending hugs from the LGS, take care and give yourself the time and space you need to grieve.❤
I'm so sorry. Sending prayers to you.
I'm so sorry for your loss, so glad you found Kate's Chanel..❤
That's what I call a "Kate quilt", a riot of color, controlled chaos, plus a little, "I didn't think about that, but I will solve it. No problem. " ❤❤
Kate and the last homely house ❤. Such a wonderful channel, i swear this channel does more to soothe anxiety and stress than any medication known to man. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
She is a gem.
You’re so right
Kate I have loved watching your channel through the years. You have taught me so much and most important how to slow and enjoy the time I spend on each project. I love the garden channel also and again I have learned how to slow down in life and enjoy what I do and what I make. Thank you so much for being here in my life.
I have those exact sentiments, and so much appreciate her heart!
I would like to add that your way of walking through life with grace, dignity and intention is inspiring and something I aspire to.
I agree completely with you, Kate has taught me there is another way of enjoying life not only with crafts but also how she relates with family and friends. Distance is not an impediment to feel her and her world close to my heart.
Such a lovely item of work, so organic in the way it's made. I have been purchasing pre-cut squares from a shop called 'The Nest'. A place where materials and every sort of haberdashery are gifted to this place, which is supported by volunteers from every aspect of the business. A very positive environment. I think I know exactly what I will be making next. Thanks Kate, a very inspirational segment. 😊
100% agree on the above. Her soothing chat, kind heart & great tips/instruction are so easy to sit & listen. Its late morn & I am out on my sunny patio in Calif with a cup of coffee, 2 little dogs & her video has me very relaxed. 🥰 Thanks Kate, we love you. ❤
I’m very sad to admit that I once came upon a bunch of bent safety pins in a hand me down stash and thought they were worthless. I got rid of them. Fast forward 20 years. I bought 200 bent safety pins for quilt basting because I saw Kate use these funny bent pins. Lessons learned. Enjoy the process. Thank you Kate.😊
Your note gave me a chuckle, I could see how that could happen and then your buying to use - havent we all been there!!😊
Hello from Georgia in the US. Dear Kate, I wonder if you know what a blessing you are to all of us on the lime green sofa. I can just feel my blood pressure going down; you have such a pleasant calm way of doing all that you do - no matter what it is. Thank you so much for generously sharing your life with us; take care.
It’s like you gave me permission to be outside of the box and to slow down! I enjoy listening to your thought process. I like that you pick things up to work on a bit and then put them down for a while. No rush! The quilt you made for Agnes is a great example of that. I can exhale when I watch you and just enjoy. I’m so glad I found your channel!! Blessings, Kate!
I love that you are always willing to try something new. Give it a whirl. But you are not beholden to doing something exactly how someone else has done it. Thank you for inviting us to come along with you on another journey!
Kate - the minute I click on one of your videos my shoulders relax, my mind clears, and I feel the serenity of the life you live in the last homely house. Honestly, it's a pleasure. Thank you.
I learned to sew when I was a little girl. My mother would cut up our old nightgowns and make them into a shape she could get evenly, and frequently had to double up the old pieces. I learned to sew a straight line putting those pieces together for "batting" of our outdoor quilts. My mother still has these quilts. After putting the front, middle and backing together, I crawled on the floor pinning. Then, I would sit on the couch, tieing the quilts. During the winter, too cold to play outside, this is what I did. Or, I would embroider pillow cases, dust covers/dresser scarves. Always something to do. My mother's thought was if we had time to sit, we had time to do something constructive. 😊❤
I believe that one of the spin-offs of this approach, was that we developed fine dexterity quite early and it set us up well for years to come. The patience and persistence it fostered were often hard won though. I'm 65 and spent very many hours latch-hooking woolen hearth rugs with my Nana, who also taught me to crochet. Her sister, my great aunt, taught me 'proggy rugs' and knitting. I still have my first 'embroidered' mats (running stitches with laced threads, and cross stitch on coarse aida) because Nan kept them🥰
@@cassieoz1702 Both of my grandmothers had me help them make rugs. One of them had me braid strips of fabric, then sew them into different shapes. The other used an old toothbrush for a tool. My job on those was to sew the fabric scraps together in a pleasing way. Nothing went to waste. Very fond memories of what today's children would be considered too much work. Both grandmother's grew up with very little, and these were necessary means and important teaching of being frugal, making do with what you have, and not whine about what we don't have. I remember the wonderful colors the rugs would have. Most of my gifts as a child to this day are handmade. I too have my first dresser scarf I embroidered for my grandmother. The colors are still bright, and my stitches are pretty darn good for a 5 year old. Running stitches, french knots, and a few daisy stitches. 🙂❤️
Kate, I just wanted to say thank you for this channel. It's like a lovely warm hug, and it's definitely my favourite corner of the internet. I always pop your videos on when I'm hand stitching things and it's like having a crafty internet mum with me. Reading other people's comments it seems like I'm not the only one that finds your videos warm, gentle and comforting.
You've also taught me to slow down and not worry about how perfect my work is, which is good because my quilting skills are very fresh! Much love from Australia
Oh! Kate, I think your “sort of a kantha quilt”, is absolutely beautiful. I love the fabrics and colors you chose for the top. And as always, I love watching your newest adventures. I think I will go sew now and think of all the beautiful and fun quilts you have made. Can’t wait for your next video. You are such an inspiration!!
You remind me again that we quilt or sew or do needlework for the joy of the journey
😊 and should not take ourselves too seriously.
Its always a delight watching you quilt Kate. Your method is clear and interesting as always. The cabin quit came out so colourful and beautiful 😊 i was wondering how is the outcome of the wedding gift of your two friends which was featured not too long ago? It think it must be still work in progress, right? I'm sure you will let us know, right? Thanks for sharing your ideas and methods, truly appreciate it. ❤
Здравствуйте, мне 49лет и мне нравится смотреть как у вас рождаются новые идеи и как вы рассуждаете в процессе работы. Спасибо за ваш труд ❤
I have been watching your channels now for a year or so. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy every single episode. You are so beautiful and talented. It calms my soul and brings me peace to watch and listen while I do a little stitching or quilting myself. Thank you Kate for being you, and sharing your love of quilting and gardening!
Kate ? A finished quilt is a perfect quilt. We love when you bring videos to us.
What a cheerful quilt! This was a lovely and inspiring project.
Ваш канал выходит такое умиротворение. Услада для моих глаз. Спасибо 🙏
I’m so happy that I found your channel! It recently popped up in my recommendeds. I love your sewing room and your beautiful quilts!
Loving your 'notkantha' quilt. It's beautiful.😊❤
Oh my! I love this so much! I cannot wait to try it on my own. Thank you so much for all your instructions. You are a great teacher.
My heart SOL (smiles out loud) to think of what my Mum; who insisted on close, even quilted stitches: the quilt on a frame, set up in the middle of her living room; would think of our methods of quilting now.
Lovely episode! I am bringing my hexie quilt outside to the porch today to continue hand quilting. We’re all inspired by you!
You’re so amazing with all you get done, I seem to watch too many utubes instead of doing my own quilts. 😂
Kate you have been so inspiring I have picked up my love of patchwork again after 20 years …. If I am a bit messy. So many top tips. The thread bunny is genius. I’m predominantly a crochet designer. But you have just been such a delightful discovery. Thank you Emma
Oh, the cabin is fabulous, and the Kantha quilt even more fabulous!! Those greens and blues....to die for.
Kate what a lovely enjoyable video as always. I truly enjoy slow stitching along with you & a cup of tea. You are touching so many lives through your videos. Thanks for all that you do along with your wonderful family to make these videos. Sending love & hugs.
You are such an inspiration to me. I usually overthink things and never start, but you have given me the courage to jump in and just start. Thank you!🥰
@peggymcright1220. That’s my problem too!!! I’ve never sewn in my life but decided to give it a go. Over the past few weeks I’ve gathered the things I’ll need and now I’m afraid to start in case I make a complete mess of it!!! Who’d know? Me!!!! I’m a bit hard on myself probably. I’m sure you’ll do a fine job Peggy 💕
I love watching your videos. You have such a calming way about you in this crazy busy world. Your quilts are amazing. Thank you Kate x
So beautiful. I beat myself up all the time because my stitches aren’t as tiny and straight as once they were. You have set me free. The longer stitches are different but no less beautiful. Thanks Kate❤
Thank you for being you! My grandmothers have been gone for many years but you so remind me of them. And I’m a grandma now myself. I love hand needlework most of all and keep attempting to go machine. It’s just not in me. I relax just watching and listening as you work. Thanks again. 9:56
I truly enjoy your videos Kate. You encourage me to try new things.
Peaceful and relaxing to watch you sew Kate, thank you.
Kate, you always arrange your blocks so beautifully….personally, I find that this is most difficult part of the quilting process. I think that perhaps I am far too up tight. 🥴. But, I am learning so much from your channel and love to take some time on Sunday afternoons and dream about your always gorgeous work. Many thanks.
Love sharing time with you. All the women in my family sew or paint or create and you just feel like home.❤
This will look lovely in your cabin!! Such beautiful fabrics!
You are a joy to watch and always a calming voice to listen and learn from. Thank you😊
Oh Kate, that is absolutely my most favourite quilt I've seen you make. You are such an inspiration.
Greetings from New Zealand. 🕊
Love watching you make the Kate-style kantha quilt. It’s beautiful and what a treat to see Ilene the goose! She looked like she was happy to see you join her at the cabin. I enjoy watching each and every video you post on this channel and The Last Homely Garden channel as well. Thank you for bringing joy each time I see you!🤗♥️
Because of your videos, I have begun slow stitching my quilts. So enjoyable!
Your lovely quilt reminds me of this children's poem (unknown author):
I’m glad the sky is painted blue,
And the earth is painted green,
With such a lot of nice fresh air
All sandwiched in between. Did I miss a video of making the walkway with the pebbles? It looks so nice. Thanks for the video!
Waiting at my Doctor's office and found you. Will be looking through all you videos!
Me again, from Georgia. I just had to say how very lovely your Kantha quilt is; love the patterns.
Simply beautiful. The softness of the colours reflect your garden reaching out into the wider landscape. The inner layers are not wasted or forgotten but honour the nature of a quilt, by playing a supporting role. ❤
I love how you made what you love just for you. I’m guilty of never making myself a quilt, but spending numerous hours on projects for others, which is nice too. You inspire me to spoil myself. Loved your video.
I love that Eileen has her own pond 💜. This quilt is lovely. I love the idea of the double gauze backing for a summer quilt.
Thanks Kate! I’ve been collecting scraps and skirts of Kantha cloth to make a dressing gown, kimono style. Your quilt has given me a terrific idea. I loved your dressing gown videos and this puts the finishing touch on my project idea. You are a dear!!
I love all your videos and the garden channel. So many ideas just popping around waiting to be made!!😀
This quilt is going to be so soft and comfy for your cabin🥰it’s already looking adorable! Can’t wait to see what u do with the edges. Thank you for another fun video💖I’m loving your sense of adventure in quilting😍
This quilt is going to be beautiful Kate! I imagine the feel of it to be just luscious. 😊❤
Beautiful, who ever gets this quilt will be in love with it! Lovely colours 😊
I’ve never seen your channel until today.
What a treat💖
I think your Kantha-style quilt matched the "wall quilt" perfectly. Thank you for lovely inspiration!
It turned out so lovely! I just love your relaxed attitude towards quilting and that you are not so rigid (as I am). You inspire me to let go and just enjoy the process.
Hi from a cold South Africa. I am so glad that youtube popped this video today. I am truly inspired now to do this type of quilt. Love your color combination❤❤
What serendipity! I attended a lecture by Sujata Shah (Cultural Fusion Quilts) a few days ago. Now I am doubly inspired to do one. She said it is more important to enjoy the process than aim for perfection. We all need to give ourselves that bit of grace. I discovered you recently. Thank you for all your lovely videos.
Your channel is so homely. You've created another home for those of us who watch. Thank you Kate. Sincerely, Angela
Your quilt looks like a pond with Lily pads. Beautiful
Those patterns are so beautiful together and I absolutely love the green on the back!It seems like it would be hard to sew four layers together but you do it so well!I learn so much from you I hope you are doing well.
I went back and watched part of the first Kantha quilting video to refresh my memory. In the early part of this one, I noticed a beautiful grass green sweater and navy and white polka dot dress. I wondered if they were new since I didn't recall seeing them before? You'll have lots of quilts and blankets to keep cozy in the cabin! I think you recently had your first guest there. It was Susan who came for lunch, if I recall correctly.
I absolutely love the fabrics you have used for this quilt.
Beautiful Kate with her beautiful “Kantha” quilt you are a dream to watch . Thank you for sharing so much of you with us ❤
Hi Kate I love this quilt. You're very gifted. I get so much out of watching your videos. Thank you , love from Anne in France.
Wish I were a family to receive a quilt!! Lov from South Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦
I love your fabric choices, your color choices and your hand quilting. Always a treat to watch your videos.🎉🎉🎉
Kate , this quilt is so beautiful! I've been dying to see the finished quilt. I love the colours ❤
The garden looks wonderful! Really love the path. The summer quilt was such a good idea!
Love the blues in the top of the quilt. Would never think of putting a fauze backing on but it is lovely too. Your cabin is such a special place. ❤
Oh those fabrics and colours are some of the prettiest ones ever! Its absolutely gorgeous Kate
You are so like me with your ideas and doing something that is a little different. Use what you have even though it’s going to be different.
Enjoying watching your progresses and journeys, esp as a sewer who learned at 5 from her sewing grandma! Sending warm hugs from Kentucky
The quilt looks great and the so is the hand quilting
I’m about to stitch my “version” of a Kanye’s quilt using old swatches of light upholstery fabrics from a furniture store. They blend together so nicely color wise and in weight. The stitching in careful rows will be a challenge!! Thanks for your demonstration!
What a charming quilt and it is perfect for your cozy cabin. You have inspired me to look through all the cotton I collected while living in India!
What a super quilt for your wonderful cabin. I love seeing Eileen the goose again, and she seems so happy to see you, when you go down to your lovely pond. I sooo miss my lovely cabin I had built in the garden of a beautiful thatched cottage I had the privilage of owning for a short time, back about 10 years ago now. I ran out of money, so had to move. They are such special places. xxx
I really enjoyed learning this method, hybridized or not, I think it's fantastic and a great way to upcycle and create an heirloom on the cheap.
That really looks wonderful in the cabin, those colours and prints!
Kate, I look forward to every other Sunday to see your progress on your beautiful quilting. I am a first time quilter and you are my inspiration! Best wishes from Savannah, Georgia, USA
Kate, your Kantha 'not' Kantha quilt is beautiful! 💖Brava!!! A good friend of mine calls sewing with an empty bobbin...."making confetti"!🤗
i am loving these videos of some non-traditional styles of quilting! it looks great.
Thanks Kate ❤ for getting me through my first winter of post pandemic blues .. snuggling up with your videos & a cuppa while I went to ground this winter kept me sane. I think the tone of these videos are so on point, the gentle pace with gentle music is just a balm. I covet your cabin, what a joy. I'm desperate to look out of its window when you film in there & see your view .. could you swizzle the camera round for the closing shots so we csn see what you see? Would be the cherry on top, thanks xx
Hello, Kate!
Thank you for showing part of your garden as you went to your cabin. Your ‘Kantha’ quilt is stunning! It’s the lovely addition to your lovely daybed in your cabin. Everything has come together to make a perfect spot to enjoy a nap. Now I wish that I had room to add a bed to my small gardening shed! It’s hard to know if Eleanor’s greeting is meant to welcome you or scold you for visiting ‘her’ pond. Can you tell, Kate? 😁
Thank you, and stay well!

Wow! I love the chain piecing technique, that's brilliant! I've been a quilter for decades, always striving for perfection, which I feel is necessary - if I'm going to spend the time & money, I want an heirloom. That being said, I am absolutely in love with the freedom you show, and that all kinds of ideas, styles & methods make just as beautiful & loved of an item.❤🎉
I enjoy your content immensely. Thank you. I've not yet tried Kantha quilting. I can't imagine stitching through all those layers, but I might give it a try sometime.❤
I LOVE these colors, Kate!! Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I just restored a vintage quilt for a friend and was amazed no batting was used just cotton and it was heavy. In the US they called them summer quilts, so they would be cool blankets. After working on it I want to make one for myself and after seeing you video I definetly want to make one. Lovely video. ❤❤
Hello Kate, I’ve been watching you for a very long time and always looking forward to your next video. Love everything you do and love your presentation.
And we love to watch and listen to you while we quilt❣️
Love watching your videos! Your cabin looks so cozy with those beautiful quilts! You inspired me to do more hand-quilting of my quilts. 🤗💕
Thank you, Kate hope you and the family are well
and enjoying the better weather
How beautiful! You make it look so easy that I'm going to give quilting a try.
The quilt is absolutely beautiful! I love the colours.
Just lovely, Kate! I love watching you work and enjoy life surrounded by everything that Kate’s enjoys in our world: her family, her friends, her critters, her hobbies, her garden…
This quilt is so beautiful, I really like the colours! And Kate, can I come over and have a cup of tea with you in your cabin, please? It looks so cozy and inviting.
Again, greetings from Ontario, Canada on this beautiful May morning. Kate, all the fabrics you work with are so colorful and individual. Each square deserves it's own attention. I find light purple with green a lovely combination. Enjoy that cabin!!
I "sew" 😂 enjoy watching ur videos. Such a lovely way to spend my day. Kantha is really addictive. Never thought I would enjoy this method of quilting!!!the colors y you have chosen are so beautiful and calming. Enjoy your day💖
I love your cabin. What a lovely place to others and unwind. I had tickets for a meet and greet with Kaffe and Brandon today. I wasn't able to go due. to illness. Oh well, some other time. However I'll go watch your interview with them again that will cheer me. Thanks for sharing all you do with us. Take care, your you tube friend.
What a beautiful quilt, as so many of yours are. I do like The back of your quilt.I love the gauze backing.😊
Beautiful! It is so relaxing to watch the quilts you make as you are not trying to rush or find the quickest possible way to get a quilt done. Your quilting and style is simply wonderful to watch. Thank you.
Hi Kate, love your calm video's without commercialbreaks❤ you make beautiful things. This quilt is gorgeous aswell. Your new website is stunning. Beautiful colors and photo's. ❤❤❤
Добрый день! Мне очень нравится Ваши работы! Я тоже увлекаюсь лоскутным шитьëм. Я примерно Вашего возраста. Спасибо за интересные идеи и видео❤🌹👍. Желаю здоровья!
