KT Winner
Congratulations to Laurie from TX. You're the winner of the Icicle Stars booklet. Thanks to you and everyone for commenting. I enjoyed hearing about all of your favorite summer adventures - at home and travelling. I love anywhere near the water where it's cooler than Kansas. No vacation for me this summer, though. The store is keeping us busy and the grankids are coming and going over the next few weeks. At least it's a good excuse to go to the pool and eat ice cream!
Sneak Peek
KT's newest fabric line, Sweet Pea, debuted at Spring Market in Portland. Here's a first look. For our fall collection, we have rich shades of green, pumpkin, brown, navy, red, gold & tan. The tan with multi-colored dots is my absolute favorite print in this line - I'll be using that as a background ALOT! Really like the navy medium print - it also comes in red, green and tan tone-on-tones.
The project for Sweet Pea is
Through the Year. It continues our theme from the Changing Seasons HB runner that offers 14" quilted squares to button on for the seasons. Mix and match any of our toppers to button on a pillow, the runner or our new wall quilt. With the double churn dash background, it's great on it's own, too!

ReplyDeleteJanet
I think a pineapple block would be a great addition....
ReplyDeleteHow can I ever get my stash down when you keep coming out with all these new gorgeous fabrics :)
ReplyDeleteJanet
How about a block to do with Thanksgiving or that season. I try to work with the stash that I have but it is always nice to add to it. Love the colors of the new line.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHow about a schoolhouse for September, a moon and owl for October,cornucopia for November, and a Christmas tree for December.
ReplyDeleteI love traditional blocks, so I would like the Log Cabin or the Bow Tie.
ReplyDeleteI like the Joy of the Season topper. I've started a string block quilt, so would love the bag of scraps! Lana
ReplyDeleteI am a bear paw fan!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I adore the patriotic topper! You are so creative!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the warmth of Sweet Pea and the darling seasonal squares. I might be behind, but I'd sure like to catch up with the happy squares.
ReplyDeleteThis new line of fabric is so beautiful! The Fall Harvest topper is my favorite! Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteLove your new line!
ReplyDeleteI love that new Sweet Pea and what a great idea for the Through the Seasons Project! We call our farm the Four Seasons Farm so this would be perfect for my decor. One thing that I've been looking for and haven't yet found is a nativity wall quilt pattern. Could you do one of those?
ReplyDeleteLove your new line! What about a coordinating series of a pillow cover, place mats, and table runner/topper. You could give the whole series or just a part as a gift. I am always looking for ideas for small quilt to give as gifts and have used your patterns for many years. I like to do flowers and seasonal.
ReplyDeleteLove it as always! Can't wait to get some Sweet Pea!
ReplyDeleteMy sewing room is full of Kansas Troubles fabric and looks like some Sweet Pea will be joining the rest!I love tulips for spring, stars for summer, hot chocolate/spiced cider for fall and candles for winter.
ReplyDeleteI really like spiced cider as a name for a fall line...your fall fabric is as delicious as a hot cup of spiced cider!! Thanks Lynne.
I just love the Bloomin' Basket topper. Winning the scraps would be wonderful!! Thanks for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteLove this new line! These are some of my fav colors! Will have to have some as soon as I can get it! I use flags, stars, sheep, hares, Rose of Sharon applique flowers, pineapples and birds a lot! Summer is watermelon and flags to me! I piece and applique by machine. I also will add stitchery or wool to some of my pieces.
ReplyDeleteLola
Those are some adorable projects!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a row of flower pots.
ReplyDeleteA sprinkling can with sunflowers, a birdhouse, watermelon with crows, a chicken or rooster and a garden gate with the word "welcome".
ReplyDeleteI love how all your fabric lines can be mixed.

I love your fabrics. To me when I see them it's like coming home. You asked about design suggestions. In my family when my children were small (they're in their 30"s now) I used to decorate for the family birthdays. We had a birthday table cloth, center piece etc. It was the same one for everyone's birthday but it meant someone had an extra special day. The birthday person got to choose what they wanted for dinner. We had some really interesting dinners. It brings back memories. Thanks for all you do.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is gorgeous and I just absolutely LOVE the pumpkin topper and especially the patriotic topper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteANYTHING you design is wonderful!
Very cute! Will have to look for this pattern(s). I would like to see a snowman, something wintery, but not Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLove the Happy Birthday America table topper. The new fabric line Sweet Pea is yummy. Other ideas dog or cat, flowers tulips, roses. A bunny for spring.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see fruits - pineapple, pear, etc arranged with leaves/vine to look sort of like a cornucopia without being one? But looks to me like you've got fantastic ideas of your own - love them, and keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteArmy boots, rain boots with flowers, cowboy boots, birthday, leaves, blocks from some of your old quilts, like seeds of time. Baby rattle, primitive birds and animals, mittens, primitive anything, windmill, cart of flowers, welcome sign,
ReplyDeleteLove the new line. Can't wait to have my hands on it.

I love flowers and stars of course always love anything that you design. Looks like sweet pea is going to be beautiful. Can't wait to see it. Right now I'm cutting up some KT fabrics and making what is called the yellow brick road. I made a lap size which turned out fabulous. Now I want a queen size for my bed. Can't wait to see the new line!!!
ReplyDeletermabriscoe@embarqmail.com Thank you. Melinda
I love the designs - especially the flag. I love bees and honey - so I think a beehive would be fabulous! I am excited for Sweet Pea!!
ReplyDeleteI love seasonal decorations, but especially patriotic ones.
ReplyDeleteI love purple coneflowers.
ReplyDeleteI love block changes that are done for family events such as baby birth, anniversary, and b-days. Also, a lily for Easter would be great. Love the pumpkins and the basket. I just got this pattern and can hardly wait to make it for the wall -- I have just the spot!! Love your new line!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous new fabrics! Would love to put the pumpkins in my house :-) Love crows and pumpkins and plaids!
ReplyDeleteJust a note to let you know Sweet Pea fabric and the Through the Year pattern will both be available in October at your local shop. I wouldn't doubt it if there will be a pattern giveaway here about that time, too!
