I Have a New Dressing Gown! The Last Homely House 2023-10-01 | I finally found time to get back to this project and I'm so pleased I did. It came together really well and is my new favourite item of clothing! I like it both sides out and I have to say, I think there will be pockets before too long. You know my theory of pockets? A garment is useless without them. So, pockets it is.If you make a similar thing you could tag me on Instagram. #lhhlgs or #kateatthelasthomelyhouse The Etsy site where I bought the fabrics is called Colours of Spirit.

Irish Chain - a Simple Quilt Block for Project Linus The Last Homely House 2023-06-11 | If you have watched the channel for a while, you will have heard me talk about my Mum and the vast numbers of quilts that she made in her lifetime.

So using a fat quarter bundle that had been sitting in a drawer for some time, and some leftover fabric of my Mum's, I made some Irish Chain quilts for Project Linus.
