- A little peek round my studio and some bonus footage right at the end of Fredfred and Stella... ♥️
Apologies that it's so wobbly, I am holding the camera, talking and walking. Hope it doesn't make you dizzy 😁

Thank you for watching, happy stitching!
What a gorgeous place to work, full of cloth magic! Thank you so much for sharing your special place with us, it’s so beautiful and inspiring.
My pleasure ❤
Yes! Thank you for sharing… I’ve needed some inspiration!
You have built a creator’s paradise. Filled with beauty and inspiration. You’ve “done YOU”. 💖💖💖
😁😁😁❤️
Fascinating seeing your sewing den, it is gorgeous! Rustic, homespun, generic, organized, and clever! Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE seeing the cat and dog play at the end!
Thank you for showing us your workspace, somehow it makes me feel more "normal"😁 My eldest called me a dragon yesterday, when I went through my scraps, which as she said is a step up from hoarder. I say, if it bring me joy, why should I get rid of it. I'll be a dragon, strong, wise and fierce on top of precious mound of cloth😂
yes absolutely! and breathe fire if anyone challenges you 😜♥️
I totally agree with you. I hoard my scraps too! LOL.
Hoarder here 🤣🤣🤣
‘….and here is my string collection’ - so glad its not just me that has a special place for string!
Yup and we are absolutely the normal people aren't we? 😂❤
Thanks so much for sharing. It felt like visiting a friend. Loved the wrestling 😂
So lovely you felt that, yes the wrestling is something else 😂❤
I love seeing you little furry kiddos at play 🫶
Thank you for so generously sharing your work space with us. As you moved the camera from one piece to another I kept peering closer and closer. ‘Oh, I love that!” And, “Look at that piece!” ‘The colors!” I loved seeing the log cabin in progress; to see the stitched areas in contrast to the “before” areas. Quite alive. Thank you, thank you. xo
Oh and Stella and Fredfred ♥♥
Thank you so much, and yes, I think those two stole the show 😂❤
Absolutely so appreciate the intimate tour of the space where you make your magic to share with us. We are so lucky.
Thank you, we all are 😉😁❤️
Thank you for sharing your space. It was lovely to see. And I loved seeing Fredfred and Stella having a tussle at the end. My lovely Golden Retriever is always asleep in my sewing room as I carry on, too.
How lovely of you to share your beautiful space with us! I’ve been enjoying your videos tremendously… can’t thank you enough for sharing your work and your home with us! I absolutely love the way you set up your studio, and now we can picture you sitting there when you’re making your videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing your fur babies. They are hysterical! ❤️🇨🇦🐾
Yes mostly they make me laugh, occasionally not so much 😂❤
Very peaceful and Zen to me. Thanks for sharing your space and your treasures. AND your adorable cat and dog!!
My pleasure ☺️
Love the secretary desk also...nice workshop💜🇺🇸
What a gorgeous room.Love how the dog and cat play together x
Blessed for sure ❤
What an absolutely lovely space! Thank you for sharing...I love the footage of Fredfred and Stella!😂
Never seen a dog and a cat play like that, love it❤. Great place you have got
Me neither! they can get quite boisterous with it, it's usually the cat who gets too rough and the dog squeaks and runs away 😊
Lovely. Thanks for showing us around. 💖✨
Love the log cabin quilt blocks and how you’re hand stitching. The room is full of goodness. Very beautiful place to work or play. Thanks for sharing.
Thank-you for sharing that. Lovely Stuff.
Your studio is lovely! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you very much for showing us your studio. It is beautiful. ❤️🇨🇦
What a magical space. It feels cozy and nurturing, the colors and textures are stimulating in a quiet way. I could spend hours here. 💜
I watched you’re tour and loved it- thanks and l love the kitties, too💕😂🥰
Thank you for sharing your beautiful studio space. I love an organized space to work in. You have a calm and peaceful place to be inspired and creative! Just lovely.
❤ Thanks for sharing ❤ beautiful fabric ❤
That overlap quilt is already so lovely, I hope you finish it. I love your work. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you 😊
Hiya 🌞, really admire your organisation in your comfortable and comeforting room! Am in the process of reorganising my sewing room now lve got the fabrics down to manageable ammounts!(??? Lol!),anyway have gotten down to long ago collected brocades that were mainly hand made or the leavings from special event garments ld been involved with as long as 60+ years ago!Just like precious gems with the memories attached.( which is why lm doing a second book with snippets of them in as lm fortunate to have d-in-law +2grandees to use them for😊)My trusty machine+overlocker both gave out over the last couple of weeks but I had bought replacements/ spares before l had to quit work ( hence the massive spring clean! )They are 10 yrs waiting ther turn and lm getting used to them,as lve got to the stage of hand sewing in the main.Funny how so many just quilt etc from kits(& so much waste &extra expense),but am fortunate in the giftings l recieve when they clear out from expired relatives/bits they dont want.Like you l like bits that tell a story& do coverlets/ clothes for outreach charities so they get a good home!Sorry for the rave,be well and content, J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ Julia.
Don't apologise, lovely to read your message and thank you for the good wishes, same to you ❤️
What a warm and cozy room. I can imagine the peaceful time spent in that room, even with the wonky view. With that view, I think I’d even be able to block out the view of that satellite dish.
Thank you, yes I hardly notice the dish any more ❤
What a lovely space….thanks for sharing😊
Too funny about the satellite dish from “he who must be obeyed”. 😂. Maybe you could paint it all pretty like a big flower! lol. 😂 I only have a small lot and there is a huge dish in the back (we don’t use) but it’s so ugly I keep thinking I might paint it into a huge sunflower 😂
Now there's an idea 🌻🌻🌻❤️😂
Lovely studio. I could spend hours in there. Thanks for sharing.
Charming. And you ARE lucky!
Thank you for sharing your lovely studio with us. I love your log cabin project on the wall. It's a work of art!
How fabulous your studio is and so neat and tidy, what a space to work in, just glorious
Thanks so much! 😊
Just love nosying round your studio…….? Your creativity and calm response to the unfinished or work in progress encourages me to calmly accept my own collections and numerous half worked items as the norm and not condemn myself for this natural tendency.!! Beautiful object’s thankyou.
Yes! I used to beat myself up about it too but now I just go with the flow ❤
Your studio tour was so interesting. Everything you do is so much different from the projects I attempt to make, and that’s what I enjoy - seeing how others work.
What a fabulous space. Tfs
Aaaahhh and the wrestling😍😍😍😍
Ohhhhhhhhhhh … 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 …. 💕
Thank you so much for sharing your happy special space with us. Much appreciated ❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful place to work, so many beautiful things to look at. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you - how wonderful to see that you have won competitions. So well deserved 👏👏
thank you ♥️
❤what an organised workspace, so many beautiful pieces of your work. Thanks for showing us around.
My pleasure ☺️
Lovely place to create. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the tour of your cozy studio. So much inspiration. You must spend many happy hours there.
Absolutely stunning and I’m so appreciative of the peek behind the scenes ❤
❤Well…..that was fun! It’s always a treat to see where we all work. Organizing is key! … and you’ve got that mastered🎉 I’m constantly redoing and changing things around. It’s a good way to find things that have been covered or stashed deeper than we like. 😅 Thanks for the tour.
Thank you for sharing:)
Thank you for the lovely tour of your beautiful home and studio. ❤
What a lovely studio you have, thanks for showing us around! I love your wall hangings: the log cabin (? I don’t know that term yet) and the portrait collages, absolutely wonderful! So weird how you can feel ‘at home’ with someone on youtube but i do😀🍀💖
I know exactly what you mean 😉❤
Many thanks for sharing. Love the patchwork curtain and personal scrapbook. I love the log cabin patcwork as well. x Blessings x Mariana UK xx
Finally got around to watching this one. What a great space and the view of your woods is amazing. How wonderful it must be. I could hear it in your voice. And at the end loved seeing Fred Fred and Stella playing. Very cute. Thank you for the tour and letting us into your world.
My pleasure 😊
You are so lucky, I am so happy you share your beautiful workshop, ideas and treasures, you inspire me,and many others,long may you continue.
Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you so very much for sharing your space. I think studio tours from artists are so inspirational! Enjoy your indoor and outdoor spaces!!!
your pets are very cute! i wouldn’t mind their appearance at the end of more of your videos 😊
Thank you, I will tell them 😁❤️
Such a magical space! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. It's hard to describe, but you have such a talent for talking about art. Your explanations on a technical level are well done of course but you also just... frankly and honestly talk about the process and playing of art in a way I find really refreshing! Your videos make me want to pick something up and start creating immediately
Thank you, that's a lovely thing to say ☺️❤
@emustockings - I couldn't put it better - I completely agree ❤
You are (literally) the first person who has uttered the words "Junk Journal" since I moved her 24 years ago! I have spoken to so many people about them, but I am usually greeted with a blank look. Lovely studio by the way!
Thank you ❤
You have a lovely studio. I enjoyed tooking at all of your corners. You learn a lot about a person by where they stitch
Oh my, are all my secrets out 😂❤
I agree with everyone's comments beautiful and inspiring, organized, I'm jealous 😂. Thanks , and i enjoy your wittering . Keep up the good work!
That was lovely. Thank you! I admit I am jealous of your work space and your woods. 🥰
Great look around it’s lovely to be so well organised. A gorgeous place to work. Thank you.
Hi K, I loved you studio thank you for showing me the all the treasures.
Thank you for sharing your lovely workspace and explaining how you organize it. I think, for some of us, the organizing of things, or rather the chaos of things, is what can paralyze our creativity. Enjoy your day. Catherine
I think you are right, I personally can't work if it's not organised, others might find it clinical, each to their own 😉❤️
Thank you for generously sharing your space with us. I loved seeing your work and how you store your items. 😊
My pleasure thank you for visiting ☺️
Great and thank you for sharing your work space. Especially enjoyed the dog and cat at the end. :)
I just love that I did not miss out on your Studio Tour! Thanks so much for letting us all come into your wonderful creating space. Love all your art work, finished and unfinished too. And I loved that you said hello at the beginning, so we could "see" you. Your space is wonderful, and we all loved seeing the fur baby's.
Thanks for sharing your space....a lovely place to stitch and dream and ponder! I have a similar cat/dog experience here...2 cats and a doodle puppy. I am in the process of reorganizing my supplies, moving everything to my dining area because that is where I sit to stitch and I have found myself going back and forth, hither and thither, looking for things. I want it all within reach and easy access! Living alone with animals means I can do exactly what I want. If I want the dining room to be a art studio then that's what it will be!
Brilliant! My husband is away every other week and I do take over the whole house when he's gone 😂 bet your doodle puppy is cute and a handful 😊❤
PS because I also stitch downstairs and outside in summer, I have what I call an 'up and down basket ' to put stuff in that goes upstairs and down... Trouble is, often I am up and the basket is down, or vice versa 😂❤
It always intrigues me to see how people learn then move past "standard" creations as they find,their own styles and techniques. Your studio is a living museum.
Thank you ❤
I am such a fan of your work. The "log-cabin" in progress looks like a piece of modern sculpture. I love it as it is. Thanks for the tour. So inspiring.
my pleasure 😊
I love your studio, the surrounds are also so beautiful. You are very lucky!! Your work is amazing. Thank you for showing us
Thank you very much for your studio tour, a very homely place to work.
Your studio is so beautiful and peaceful , thanks for sharing 🪡🧵♥️
Oh...so many treasures in your studio! If you don't complete the overlap quilt it would make MANY journal covers! ❤ the wrestlers! 🥰🇨🇦
It would! That would be an option, to cut it up for other things 😁❤️
What a beautiful creative room , love everything, and your property you are indeed one lucky lady . Thanks for sharing ❤
It’s WONDERFUL!
Kathryn, you have created a lovely piece of heaven there and I do appreciate your sharing it with us. No matter what our space, we can always make a special nest, despite the higher-ups throwing in a wrench - the "sculpture" in your window only amplifies that magnificent view.
😂 thank you, from now on I will see it as a sculpture 😉❤️
Thanks for welcoming us to your delight full work room. You lovely talented lady. Xx
I love your room and the view from your window. It was so kind of you to share with the rest of us where you get creative. TFS
thanks so much K for this very generous video - what a fantastic space. you just gave me a lightbulb moment with your log cabin. actually several lightbulbs because I've been wanting to make one for ages...but the hand stitching instead of quilting - I have a king sized quilt top (not log cabin but circles in squares (drunkards pathway?) that would suit that very much - and make it far more useful for where I live - the sub-tropical part of Australia.
PS thank you for introducing us to two of your furry friends :) please give them all an ear scratch for us xx
PPS I've been watching and loving your videos while stitching and have found myself saying "you do you" to my greyhound Sparkie when we're out walking and he wants to sniff something yucky :)
My pleasure and chuckled at you saying you do you to Sparkie 😂❤️
Absolutely lovely.
You have one of the neatest and tidiest of studios I have seen in a long time. Love your videos.
Oh Kathryn - it's Heaven! What a peaceful retreat that reflects your life and your amazing work. I love how you have set it up so that you can easily see what you have made and are still making. I defy anyone to walk in there and not be inspired. Everything is useful and beautiful (my man Morris again!). Thank you for sharing - and for showing us Stella and Fred Fred 😀
Mary x
Thank you Mary ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for showing your lovely place to work! I fell in love with that amazing chest of drawers! So beautiful!
You have awesome art pieces on the wall. I particularly loved the one you called “cabin logs” or “logs something…”, sorry, I don’t remember the name, but that is such a fabulous work. It’s so texturized and it looks so tactile, I am amazed at that!
I noticed a round tin you have. It’s the one with the couple on the lid. My great grandmother (I met two of my great grandmothers) used to offer me those tins filled with chocolate. Unfortunately I didn’t keep any, for various reasons.
You know I loved to have met Stella! She’s so cute! And I see she has a lot of fun with Fred Fred! They’re both adorable 🥰
💙❤️🩷💚🩵🧡💜🤍💛🤎
hi Alexandra, it's log cabin, I am sure there will be a video at one point. The round tin is Quality Street, many people in England have them at Christmas, or at least, we always did. Sadly these days they are in plastic. I think this old metal tin was my granny's but I am not sure. Fredfred and Stella send their love ❤️❤️❤️
@@k3n.clothtales I look forward for the video 😊 sending love to Fredfred and Stella too 🥰
Thank you for sharing your creative space with us. Its lovely. Its so neat. ( I’m a messy quilter though I don’t want to be!!. And hooray for the little pet show at the end.
Thank you SO much for sharing. You are so delightful to see and hear. Your space is just as delightful as you are.
Thank you for sharing your personal space with us. It is such a peaceful space,warm and welcoming. I loved watching the furry babies. Blessings 😊
Thank you they are hilarious. 😂 They will also sleep together often so they do really love each other ❤
What a hoot seeing those two fur babies playing with each other. Your special space is lovely and very inviting. I laughed out loud when you said the one who must be obeyed. I have one of those as well. Lol
Yes, and we just let them THINK they're in charge, right? 😉😁❤️
Love your studio! We all have our own ‘filing’ system - you sort by size of fabric while I sort by type. We are all unique! 😊
I really love your place. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you So much for the tour of your fabulous studio. Totally inspiring ❤ Steph
Love the term PHD (project half done), much nicer way to refer to the items that are unfinished. You have a beautiful home. Your work shop is amazing, not at all like mine which is quite messy and very disorganized. Thank you for a wonderful studio tour
I love your studio! Especially the stone wall with all the books. Such good organization of your various scraps and stacks in baskets. I enjoyed the tour and thank you for the entertaining wrestling match at the end. 🐈 🐩 it’s good to put furry faces with the floor sounds in your videos!
Thank you, I keep threatening to make Stella some little slippers so you don't hear her tick ticking on the floor 😁❤️
Thank you for showing us around your lovely workspace 😊
Kathryn that was so neat and inspiring to see your studio space. thank you so much for making this tour video for us. i loved seeing all of you journals and your other projects. such lovely, rich, beautiful work. i was peering intently at my screen trying not to miss anything. thank you so much! linda from california
Glad you enjoyed it!
So nice to see your studio - so cozy! Also a peek at your land through the window - thank you for sharing 😊
Kathryn that was absolutely delightful. I smiled all the way through. I know this may seem strange but I also loved seeing you at the beginning of the video, even if it was only for 5 secs. We always see your picture, but it was lovely to see you for real. It would be nice if you did that more often. I loved seeing how you store your materials. I was one of those who asked. And I am starting to sort mine in a similar way. I don’t have a room as big as yours, but I don’t have as much material either haha. I hope all our comments don’t become so time consuming for you that you don’t have time to do more videos. We really do hang off every one of them.
Thank you Joyce, I love reading your comments but I will prioritise the videos if it comes down to it. 😂 Maybe I will do more little pieces to camera, I am not a shy person by any means but it is somehow different to just my voice and hands on the internet. I think I just have to get used to it 😊❤
I guess it is hard to register that you have developed a ‘cult’ following. You started out thinking it would be nice to show some people what it is that you do and how to do it, and suddenly thousands of people respond to your offering. Goes to show what the world needs now and what you are doing is adding to the healing of many people.
Thank you Joyce, that's a lovely thing to say. ❤️❤️❤️
I enjoyed this glimpse into your studio. Very much like my own except mine is not so tidy. But I be me. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, you be you 😉😁❤️
