That is the BEST story about the Mark Knopfler quilt...that you got to see him perform on the last days of finishing the quilt and then the turn of events that led to him purchasing YOUR quilt! Love it!

Today has been a dreadful day. 3 months ago today my husband passed away. Haven't stopped crying all day. Listening to your cat purring away has helped calm me down. Please thank her and give her a hug from me.

Wonderful stories, beautiful quilts, and darling Norma softly purring in the background. Delightful! I’m still smiling. Thank you so much, dear Kate. You’re a treasure!!

Your quilts and your stories are beautiful... and your wonderful videos cheer up my mornings, so thanks for all you give. You never know how much you inspire our day. Thanks.

Such beautiful quilts. I love to hear your stories. Love love all your videos. Please keep them coming. I love hearing the cat purring also. Thank you Kate.

Holy Toledo, Kate! You're one of the most prolific fiber artists I've ever seen or heard of! What beautiful work you do. They will all become "heritage pieces". Thanks for sharing! xxx

Ahhhh!  My dear Aunt Kate!  You're such an artist with such a beautiful spirit about you!  Much love to you.

When you said that Mark Knopfler owned your quilt I actually said ‘no!’ out aloud! What a fabulous ending for a fabulous quilt!

That was a lovely storytime, Kate, and dear Norma got her voice in there too. I love to hear her purring. And WOW! nearly at 8,000 subs too. That's a massive increase in a very short time. Just goes to show that craftworking is a universal language. Your efforts to speak to everyone are much appreciated.

I love hearing the kitty purring... What a happy cat...

It's a joy to hear your stories and to watch your beautiful work. Thank you. You are gift!

Hi Kate, I really enjoyed the telling of the stories of how these quilts came about. I find you such an inspiration, when I first came across your channel I knew I had found someone to watch and listen to that was very special.

No need to reply.  Just a quick thank you to you and Norma for inviting me into your home. It was lovely having a cup of coffee while listening to your quilting adventures.  It's such a great start to my day.

Kate, you are an absolute master of colorwashing.  From these treasures to Agnes' quilt, and to your Terry quilts, you continue to amaze me with your exceptional color theory.  Thank you for sharing! 💗

What a great idea:  quilts to the floor. I've not seen that before, but I do learn something new from each of your videos. Thank you for sharing the stories and photos of your spectacular quilts.

What great stories. Mark Knopfler? WOW!!!

I hear and see the dedication you put into your quilts. I am a hand quilter and could absolutely feel the hours of stitching.  I will be showing this episode to our quilt group for the Liberty fans.   When you have as much information in your head as you do; you are bound to not recall it for the moment.  Thank you kind Lady

HI Kate,
They're gorgeous, your colourwash quilts.
And the Mark Knopfler quilt is allowed to live with the real Mark, how cool is that?
I'm also a big fan of him and own some of his albums.
My first little quilt is ready, and has brought so many complications that those will last for the next 100 years.
He's not necessarily perfect, but done, juhuuu!!!
The second one should now be quilted.
We had 31 degrees yesterday and 32 degrees today, I can't do anything with quilting anymore.
I once searched the Internet for Liberty fabrics. The prices are almost priceless. I particularly like the green Liberty fabrics.
How nice that you received many of them as a gift at that time.
A large work table and a wall to which the quilt can be pint are, of course, also worth gold.
I don't have all that, just a mini apartment. For nothing, threads spread throughout the apartment as a bonus looked like hahah!

I wish you a good time, big hug and see you soon
Claudia

Can’t imagine the hours you spent sewing these beautiful quilts.

You have such a full enriched life! You are amazingly talented. Thank you for sharing, I so enjoy your videos.
Thank you for the books. I was overjoyed to receive the package. The wrapping was beautiful and I have savored every book. I can't thank you enough.
