SWicker, you're the winner of the Dreamin' of Summer Pillow pattern, our KT Stash Society May project. I'll gather up some of my scraps for the appliques and send it all out soon. Please email your shipping address to ktquilts2@twinvalley.net.

I love receiving pictures of your KT Stash projects. Here's a few from Brenda at Country Fabrics in Brainerd, MN. She leads the Stash club there with 45 quilters who really put their own twist on the original - I love it!

Here are a few options for the February Hearts to You ...

and the March Bloomin' Pinwheels in everything from KT to pastels to brights to...

a very modern take with hand-dyed solids and machine embroidered leaves. How cool! It's so fun for me to see the creativity sparked by one little idea. Please share your projects. We'd love to see them.

It's just a little over a week until Spring International Quilt Market in Kansas City. We're lucky it's so close this year, but it's still alot of work to prepare and plan and pack. A designer friend of mine, Connie Huddleson of Starry Pines Designs (check out her new blog at wooleymoments.blogspot), is flying to market and asked me to bring a red chair for her booth. Once I got out the red spray paint, I couldn't stop! My old green peeling glider now has another layer of history over white, black, yellow and green. We left a spot on the bottom where you can see all the layers peeling just for fun.

 I think it will look great with a couple of quilts thrown over it in the booth at market. Shown here are New Moon, the Harvet Moon charm pattern featuring a charm pack and a mini charm pack, and one of the projects from a new Mini Table Treats pattern, S-p-e-l-l-i-t-o-u-t. This is the Happy Birthday option, but with a complete alpahbet in the pattern, the possibilities are endless! I have several more in the works including Christmas, Halloween and Fall themes, so watch for those next week.

And, of course, Gus has to try out any new chair/seat that shows up. Or maybe he's just a big ham!

Comment here by Sunday night for this week's giveaway of a Harvest Moon mini charm pack - just a little teaser before even the shop owners get a close look at it. I'll be posting on Monday next week due to the craziness of market, so watch for a chance to win the new MTT pattern, Spell It Out then.
