It's kinda like being pregnant, waiting anxiously the last few days for the baby to decide it's ready to make it's grand entrance. That's how I feel about this new website. It's been ready to go for a couple days, now the old web host is working with the new web host to make it all happen. At some point (hopefully today), it will switch and the new site will go live. It's all a process. I still have lots of items to add, but the basic setup is there - all the newest KT patterns/books, KT Stash Society newsletter/project and lots of pictures. I've started a fabric collection page to keep you up-to-date on the latest KT fabrics and will keep adding older lines as a reference guide in case you're trying to identify a KT fabric in your stash. It's all a process. There will also be more kits, precuts and specials as we go along. Keep checking!
For the month of Frebruary, we'll be giving away a Mini Table Treats patterns + fabric each week . If you're not familiar with our series of 17" round toppers, they're super simple - just sandwich a fat quarter for backing, batting, 17" circle and smaller circle; quilt; add raw edge appliques for the season. So fast & easy, it only takes about 3 hours and you're whipping down binding! First up - Frost. We still haven't had any measurable snowfall this year, so we'll have our snowflakes on a table topper - works for me!
Comment here by Sunday night 10pm. Share your favorite web site(s) with me. Have a good weekend! I'll be at Quilter's Station in Lee's Summit, MO on Saturday for a Designer's Meet & Greet that Rita started a couple months ago in her shop. I'm in very good company with fellow designer's Sandy Gervais and Renee Nanneman having made their debuts in Dec. and Jan. Come on by, see KT's newest quilts and say Hi!

Ilike the Country Sampler Quilt Shop website as it has links to their blog, clubs, bom's and some lovely pictures of their store! The chances of me actually getting to their store are slim... so their website makes me feel like I can visit any time. This table topper series would be a great auto ship....

ReplyDeleteLove "Frost". I visit so many good websites and enjoy seeing what talented people can do with needle, thread, and fabric. This week I learned of Diane Gaudynski's blog about FMQ and quilts in general from SewCalGal. It's a lovely and informative site.
ReplyDeleteI look to quilt blogs for inspiration so I have quite a list-much to long to share here. I do love your fabric though so I look forward to your new website. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway. :)

Congrats on the new website! I like Minnick and Simpson's blog and Jan Patek's blog. And your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabrics. The first quilt I made was from your fabrics. The table rounds are soo cute. Can't wait till ypur new website is up!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a KT fan and excited to hear about your new website. The reference guide will be especially helpful. I love so many quilt websites and blogs but one favorite that comes to mind is Janet from www.roguequilter.blogspot.com. She made her daughter a beautiful quilt for Christmas from KT fabrics she calls "Mostly Troubles". You can find it on her post of Dec. 28, 2011.
ReplyDeleteI love Frost. Can't wait to check out your "new and improved" website. I love to follow the Moda Bake Shop site. I can check in on alot of Moda designers that way all in one place. I also follow Aunt Polly's Porch as she has a Westie that looks just like mine. She keeps his bed on her sewing table while she sews. Most of her pictures include him too and I think that is so cute.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your new website. For blocks, I always checkout quilterscache.com and modabakeshop.com
ReplyDeleteBlogs, really enjoy the Painted Quilt and Red Quilts.
Regards, Marilyn
