Hello YouTube Friends!

I'm Kate, and I live here at The Last Homely House, where I can usually be found quilting, sewing, cooking, out in the garden with my Goose Eileen, or sitting on the Lime Green Sofa with Cat Rita. Join me, won't you?

Welcome to The Last Homely House!

Wool Illustration

I chose this name because JRR Tolkien, who wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings describes The Last Homely House as 

“… the perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or story telling or singing or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there is a cure for weariness, fear or sadness”.

This is what I hope my house is for all the people who visit my channel.

St Louis 16 Patch

Charity Quilt

This beautiful handmade quilt is one of my absolute favourites from the past year — a stunning blend of Kaffe Fassett x Morris & Co fabrics and Kona solids in soft, ocean-inspired tones.

Available in the Christmas Shop!

Calendar Review

The quality and photography are wonderful. My friend and I follow Kate and the family, so I bought her one also. She was thrilled to receive it.

Fantastic tote bag!

This is truly big and is now my project bag. I might even embroider it.

Love these magnets!

These are extreme good quality and bigger than I thought. Bought one for me and one for a friend, and she loved it!

Happy days are on the calendar

I like the size, color, paper, and of creators. I hung the calendar behind my 2025 calendar. I want to be surprised each month in 2026.

There is no place like Home

My order was precisely as I had requested. In spite of the Trans Atlantic distance it arrived timely. I could not ask for more.
