Here is a little quilt block chat. I'm sure there are many different tutorials out there showing how to make this block - but here is mine. And I hope you enjoy the story about my Quilt Challenge for my lovely Mum, or better still - try it yourself!
I have a Liberty Trip Around the World Quilt that I will show you as part of the Liberty series I am working on - and then I will explain how to avoid getting all those squares meeting up in the middle - but I bet you can work it our for yourself!
See you next time
Love
Kate

My mom quilted, too. I never paid attention, and how I regret it now. She died in 2007, and I only just recently, on the 13th anniversary of her death had the strength to open up a barrel of scraps she left me. I'm now muddling through sorting, washing and ironing all the scraps and beginning a scrappy quilt.
I love both yours and your Mom's quilts! Gorgeous. And I love how your Mom managed to put some purplish blocks into the one she made. Also a great tutorial on the block-thank you 🥰
The quilts are just beautiful...and such a nice memory. I was thinking of my mom today, too. She did wonderful embroidery..she would do dish towel sets and she gave many away as gifts. A quilting cousin made hers into a quilt and last year she sent it to me..I treasure it. Today we are getting snow..AGAIN...and I was feeling pretty down (it was 70 degrees yesterday!) After my mom died I kept some of her supplies and today I decided to sort through it...I found a towel she had started. It has two little bluebirds embroidered and felt a bit like a hug telling me spring will eventually get here! I dusted off my supplies and am going to finish it! Mom memories are the very best!
I grew up in a house where embroidered items and other handmade objects were everywhere. As a teenager, I was asking mom about a couple of my favorite pieces, and if she still had the patterns etc. .. I was informed she did not do those- my dad did- as a boy.... bluebirds on a pillowcase and a bedspread with a cross-stitched basket overflowing with embroidered flowers and other flower sprays scattered all over. ... thanks for the reminder of treasured memories. yes, our memories of our loved ones are the absolute best.
how lovely! I said in another video that I'm no embroider - these memories of yours make me wish i was - I think I should persevere - and i love thinking of your dad making such delicate things - and why not! xxx lovely memories both of you xxx
Thanks for the tutorial on the Trip Around the World quilt. Love your Kaffe Fassett quilt. Amazing!
I really enjoy your videos. Love this quilt. I looked it up from your videos of the past. I save them so I can go back and watch and get inspired. You are such a nice person, patient, and willing to share. I feel like I could sit with you and have a cup of tea. I am a lot older than you, but you do all of the things I have done and lt brings back many good memories. See you next time.
I too love green. I always thought God must have loved the color green because he made so many shades of it. Love your posts. Keep it up.
Thank you so much. I just love watching you.
Thank you for sharing the Trip around the world block!
You definitely make it look obtainable and pretty easy, so thank you for that.😊
The story of you and your Mom making quilts for each other made me cry a little. My Mom is not a quilter, in fact none of my family or friends are quilters. I so enjoy watching your channel. It is very soothing to the soul to listen to you talk, cook, love on your cats, sew and work in your garden. I love your pink room.
Thank you showing how to make the trip around the world quilt. Beautifully made
Enjoying your stories , sewing gardening and quilting. 👍😊🎄
Love this idea thank you👍👍👍👍Purple and pink is my favorite have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
I haven’t tried this block before. It certainly gives a nice pattern. Thanks Kate.
Beautiful idea sharing fabric with your Mum. You must miss her 💞
Thank you for the tip on unpicking the correct one each time.
I made my mother a trip around the world block using greens and blues, she used it every day until she died. I too now have that quilt back.
its a great memory to have xxx
Amazing... You make it sound so easy.
I’ve made and gifted a few trip around the world baby quilts. Loved making them. But this strip/tube method is revolutionary!! I can’t wait to try it. ❤❤❤
LOVE 💓 LOVE your stories about your mum in fact your family. You and I could easily be friends.😜😜👍
Thank you for sharing the loving memory of you and your mom. The quilts are beautiful. The first quilt I made for myself was trip around the world 40+ years ago and later made my mom one. I love the design of the one you made out of Kaffe Fasset’s fabric. I have never seen that design for trip around the world.
I love your memory of your mother.
Love your top my favourite colours
Glad I've found you. What an incredible woman. xxx
What a lovely idea for gift sharing! Splendid quilts.
Love your music and love to sit around and chat all the while you ate teaching. Fabulous
Your mum sounds a lot like my mom. She made hundreds of quilts for family, friends and charities. At her funeral, we had many of her quilts hanging over the pews at the church. It was beautiful.
What a lovely idea! Can I share my story even tho it has nothing to do with quilting? 😉 My Mom loved wearing beautiful hats so all of the ladies in the family wore her collection of hats to her funeral. She would have loved it!
You are blessed❣
@@ksharpe8137 THAT is really special🥰💜
What a beautiful story. Tears...what great memory. Thank you. Love your videos. Love the one on the wall. Going to rethink Kaffe. Usually to bright foe me. A little bright might be right!
i watch your just because. you have lovely stories, great at explaining things, and you have a lovely accent. i especially love that your not fancy, in your own house as is. i feel like i have gone to your house for a visit. most on youtube have a fancy back grounds, and or studios blah blah blah. makes me feel distant from them. hugs to you and your lovely house, and lovely you!!!
Wow‼️ wow‼️ wow‼️ wow‼️
What cool tricks!
Turning it into a tube and opening up at different seams to stagger the fabric just blows my mind!
Plus it ensures perfection when cutting!
Thank you for sharing your incredible tricks!!!!
I must apply this technique to using my home decor fabrics when I make my Decadent Digs!!! 🙌❤️💥
Wonderful as always!
What beautiful memories.
Love watching all your videos your so inspiring Thank You so much xxx
I love kaffe fassett! I’m enjoying your trip around the world tutorial! I’ve watched them many times. I grabbed 3 jelly rolls to make my first trip around the world.thank you Kate!
Hence tge line green sofa. Now I get it. Your mum was beautiful and I've been wanting to know all about the round the world quilt. Thanks Kate
Oh how extremely special Kate, wonderful keepsake.
love the way you make this TRTW block/quilt, will definitely give it a go
That is lovely and you can see where you get all your excellent skills from Kate. Your lovely Mum. I love this block and have never known how to make it. Another for my favourites list. Thank you for sharing this. :-):-)
I happen to like that funky music! It's happy music!! Thank you. And thank you for the beautiful story of your mom and your "dueling" quilts. What a fantastic idea. I made a quilt for my mom years ago and when she passed, I brought it home and it's with me always. Great snuggler when it's freezing cold! I did a log cabin. First quilt I ever finished. Imagine making a quilt for a master seamstress. Kind of like bringing coals to Newcastle!!! Did I really see a pic of the boy band, One Direction???? Honestly Kate, you are so funny! Thanks for this evening's chuckle. That method of like the bargello, right? Beautiful colours, Kate. Have a great day (I'm just going to bed and you're almost ready to wake up).
Cheryl - you are one of only a handful who have any idea why One Direction turned up for a second in that video - my little joke which took forever and probably confused most folk! xxx ha ha! and yes - the same method for the visual treat that is bargello xxxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but it's not that easy to pull the wool over my head. A person HAS to be sharp if they're going to keep up with you! Well, it's snowing again!!. We're getting the edges of the storm going throught the midwest up through Minnesota and into Ontario, Canada. Is it EVER going to be spring?? I'm going to curl up under that quilt and do some cross stitching. Hugs, Kate and have a wonderful day!!
Thanks for sharing the lovely story about you and your Mum! I can't wait to try this block!
I like the 1 Direction reference, LOL love this block Thanks
One direction...CHEEKY! In my estimation, the term Lol is very much overused, but I actually did laugh out loud at that! I have been intending to do a trip around the world quilt for some time, and I think your lovely idea may be just the inspiration I have needed. I loved the photo of you with your dear Mum, and very much look forward to hearing about your next Liberty project. Thanks for sharing your world with us!
you are one of a very few people who got that reference - well done - I think the rest of them just think I'm a little crazy - no mistake there then! xxx
Nah I got it and it was perfect...just like the quilt square
Oh you are a dream come true Kate. You make things looks so easy. I am going to give this a go. You make it look so simple. Thank you
Love it. Lena from Sweden
I enjoyed this thank you
Thank you! That was such a nice video to watch and the story of you and your mam very touching.
Love the quilt your mom made and the pictures of you two , miss my mom too.
Easy to follow and at last I understand how to keep it all in place 😎🇦🇺👍 thankyou
What a lovely idea!!....I love the music you play😊😊😊. It reminds me of skipping down the country lane in the summer picking flowers.....
Your mum is a special lady❤
I really enjoy your videos found them a few days ago. Live in north Alabama USA. Have made a few quilts. I am a 77 yr. old widow and live alone. I do a lot of crocheting. Enjoy your videos while crocheting.
Thankyou for sharing a wonderful quilt pattern. You explained it so great very easy to understand
Brilliant, Kate! That was a very clear tutorial. Thankyou!
What a precious thing to do with your mom. A very nice memory to cherish.
As for the trip around the world........Girl.....nothing to it....😨........hahaha.....Maybe if you've done it a few times. But never seen it done before.....hmmm.....I know I can do it, slowly....with your video as a guide. Thank you. I think it would be lovely in a pallet of aqua. (my favorite color, anywhere from seafoam green to watery blue. I'm a water lover) You are giving me a lot of inspiration, but I am still knitting socks. I'm getting really good at it.😉
people will always need socks! I find that even now - after making a fair few of these - I still need to number them - it saves getting into a muddle - just take your time and you'll be fine! xxx
I really like the Trip Around the World. I must try it!
Thanks for this awesome tutorial and the lovely backstory.
Just learned a new quilt pattern, Thank you.
Such a wonderful idea. Beautiful story thank so much for sharing and loved seeing the quilts.
One direction! That made me laugh out loud Kate ❤❤
You are a love 💘 and so is your mum❣
Absolutely beautiful !
Lovely video. I loved that you made a quilt for each other. I’ve always wanted to learn how to make a trip around the world quilt. You have helped me a great deal.
Loved your video. Thanks for sharing the story about your mum and the quilt block.
That certain quilt block brought back so many memories of my grandmother. She too was a hand quilter. For my first marriage she gave us a "Around the World" quilt. It was in what I call autumn colors. Browns and yellows.
A labour of love and a beautiful idea.
Oh, so sweet. You and your mum. Lovely photo of you together. Precious memories to hold dear to your heart.
Wow! Your from Northumberland. I had never heard of it until I started watching Vera. Great show, great acting, always love the British shows which rely solely on acting not like the US. Anyway I love your lay back style and your quilts. I could watch your tutorials all day. I learn so much and get patterns out of each tutorial. So keep it going as you have a fan in me. Have a lovely day. Jan
Bless, thanks for sharing. I am pretty excited about the postage stamp curtains 😉
coming soon wendy - still filming it! xxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse take your time, make it nice and long 😉 Vienna has a market tomorrow morning, she has a wee business selling her handmade jewelry, she want to be a jewelry maker/designer when she grows up. Although it means I have to be up early on a Saturday morning to be her chauffeur and helper 😂
I've been a quilter for 21 years and never made a trip around the world. Your instructions are good !
there's a tricky bit in the middle which i will explain next time i talk about this block xxx thank you xxx
I really enjoy watching your videos!!
Haha Kate - One Direction!!! ❤️
so few people got that - I'm glad someone did or I would have felt a bit of a twit! it took me ages!!! xxx
Love the story of your mum! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this heartfelt story!
Thank you for this Kate! Love your stories
Thanks,I think I will try that at some point. I have several quilts line up all ready. So this will be at a later time. But I really like the pattern a lot. I love the pattern you made your mums. Thank you again for the tutorial. 😊 have a great day.
I love you this. I’ve always heard of the Trip Around the World quilt! Now, I think I can make it! Greetings from Texas!
Hello Kate..I must tell you my story about my very first effort with the 'Trip Around the World' quilt. I was very young and excited to get started, but I cut all my little blocks and started in the very middle...and continued my trip around the world sewing every stitch by hand and going around and around that very first block. Fabric I used was double knit and worked up quite nicely. My daughter still has that quilt. Put SO much work into it! I do love that pattern tho.
Two very lovely ladies, you and your mum! :)
I love the story about your Mum, and the photo of the two of you is wonderful. The music you use in this video is bittersweet for me. I had puppy last year but we sadly lost him aged just 1 year old. The very first video I have on my channel is a montage of photos of him set to that music.
oh - so sorry - isn't it amazing how little things can trigger such strong emotions - I just clicked on your channel and subscribed and found lovely little Bear. what a sweetie! xxxxxx
He was a special boy. So naughty but the sweetest personality. We miss him so much. Thank you so much for subscribing!!! Thrilled to have you :) xx
I love the pinning paper with numbers, I have to do that so I don’t mess up ! Thank you for the video
I really enjoy watching your show. Lovely, and i am learning some new patterns aLso. Thanj you, barb may
Kate,. Love your green quilt. Love your mum's quilt. My mom is the same. But she's made several lovely green quilts. Thank you for sharing .
What a wonderful story of the quilt and your mum. I was making a baby block quilt for my mom in her favorite purples and lavendars, but she passed before I could finish it. I need to fi ish it for me.
I made a Trip Around the World quilt in the year 2000 with 2 1/2 inch blocks from quilters exchange from around the world, 2000 blocks on top and on the back (backing has 2000 written all over the fabric) I put all the signature squares I received with the blocks.
I'm going to try this thanks a bunch 😆
Looks so easy, peasy….I shall try one soon. Great video….thanks!❤
I am now a subscriber thanks to Arne and Carlos :) Thanks to them, I've been enjoying all of your videos. I made a quilt for my daughter 30 years ago with the help of a friend and have never attempted because I don't trust the accuracy of my cutting and seam skills, but this one looks easy enough that I might try to do a wall hanging. All of your quilts are lovely especially the one you made for your mom because of the memories that go with it. Keep making videos about your quilts :)
I love the story about you and your mum making quilts. I'll have to find someone who will do that with me. Here's some love for you from Montana, USA.
I love your music 🎶 I enjoy watching you and hearing your stories . Love your curtains, I think I will enjoy making some of my own for my quilting room.
Wonderful! I am from MUMBAI INDIA I love watching you teach quilting so systematically. You are sharing your experiences n knowledge which you got from your MOM as a BLESSING. GOD BLESS you n your family.
oh what a beautiful video ! I'm not a quilter, I'm a knitter, but I really enjoyed this video, I learned this tecnique which I dind't know , I'll try to make it...Thank you Kate, it is always a pleasure stay with you !
LOL I LOVE your "funky" music my dear!
Hello from Canada! Beautiful quilt! Bought one of these many years ago in pinks. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Doreen
Hi from Virginia. You are so much fun to watch. Thanks for your trip around the world tutorial. I may have to try one. Take care.
Kate, Thank you for the refresher course in the Trip Around the World block, I so love your standard, style,serene way of teaching! My brain doesn't process as fast as it used to! Anyway your a gal after my own heart, I go walking with my cats when the climate is above 40 Degrees Fahrenheit, ( I think) the Northeast of the U.S.A! God bless you my youtube friend, if I may call u that, is there room on that lime green sofa, we match, I have a purple couch !I tip my glass to u, Kate, Hoping for better days on 2022, love ❤️ your channel!Happy New Year Kate!
I am in amazement watching you you are awesome! I think I could make a small quilt for my frist so I could learn from, thank you thank you for your encouragement! The quilts you and your mum done are beautiful sorry for your loss , you look like your mum what a great memories you have! Thank you for sharing! Hugs Liz...
Good to see I'm not the only person who was challenged by this pattern. Love your tutorials on it.
It looks like fun !!!
Wow! Love it, trip around the world! Going to try it! Thank You...Jan...
Thank you Kate for your tutorial, have been wanting to make trip around the world quilt for a while now. Followed you step by step, did get muddled with the unpicking but sorted it out. So pleased with trial block. Going to make now with good fabric. Thanks again Ketty 😊
I’m almost embarrassed to say this, but I’ve been hooked on ‘cops’ videos before I go to bed, but I’ve become hooked on you Kate! Your lovely videos, cats, tea, backgrounds, music, windows, kitchen, sidetracks lol etc.! I go to bed with a smile on my face instead of shaking my head at the other videos! Thank you for putting in so much time to bless so many others. Take me away Kate! Night! 💤 🛌 😴
What a lovely idea. Lots of memories for both of you. You will always feel her love for you when you wrap up in her gift to you. Love the quilt on the wall. Lovely memories.
Thank You for sharing the story about You and Your Mom. I lost my Mom 4 years ago this month, I never did make her a quilt. I started one several years before she passed but never got the chance to finish it.It would have been my first quilt. Your story Touched me deeply along with the fact that You were so willing to share with Us the Quilt the two of you made for each other. Again.... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING.
Thank you!🍀
