KT Winner

Congratulations to Rose Bullen - you're the winner of last week's KT giveaway - a Heart of the Home Booklet. Please send your mailing address to Jamie at lynne@ktquilts.com. I hope we help you get a head start on your Christmas quilting this year :).

Off to Market

International Quilt Market for Spring 2015 is this weekend in Minneapolis, MN. Today is dedicated to last minute details like
                 *clean clothes/underwear/comfy shoes
                 *something to wear to Moda's Prairie Prom party
                     (there should be some great pictures of that Saturday!)
                 * print motel reservation and find a motel along the way
                 * help Robert match up shirts to sport jackets (really, again?)
                 * quilt blocks for Schoolhouse
                 * props with sunflower theme for booth
                 * iPad to take lots of pictures (Robert's job)
                 * DON'T FORGET THE QUILTS!

One of the fun new projects we have for market introduction is our Crazy for Pillows booklet. I love the pillow sleeves we've been making to coordinate with several of our latest quilts. We've had requests for a book just about pillows, so here we go!

Crazy for Pillows

Six unique pillow sleeves inspired by some of our favorite projects to coordinate with your quilts for a warm, cozy feeling in your home. Crazy for Pillows will be available in June, but comment here to win an advance copy!  I'll try to post some pictures on my FB page while we're gone. See you next week. Wish me luck!

    I love the quilt dots. What a wonderful idea. The cushion patterns are very special. I love the shape. Two of the patterns would go with quilts I gave made from your patterns.

    the sleeves are such a neat idea. Not so bulky to store as pillows. Then we can change more often. You are so lucky to be going to quilt market. Would love to be going. Sounds like a lot of work, but so neat

    I would love to have pillow sleeves to match my other Kansas Troubles fabric pillows on my couch & love seat. I absolutely love the line & the sleeves are a fun way to switch out pillows on a whim. Easy is the way to go!
