KT Winner
I'm a little behind since we were busy hosting 100 quilters at our first ever KT & Friends Retreat last week. |
| Happy Quilters at the KT & Friends Retreat |
After literally laying around napping through movies all day yesterday, I'm back at it today, trying to catch up. Here's the winner of our KT Tan Jr Layer Cake & As the Wind Blows pattern.
koberg - I just love the precuts in the tans cuz you always seem to need more of them!
Congrats! Email us at lynne@ktquilts.com with your shipping info and Robert will send your goodies right out.
Prairie Wind
At our KT & Friends Retreat last week, I shared my Layered Patchwork method in this quilt featuring flying geese. We started with a KT Favorites III Layer Cake for an easy, scrappy look. The ladies were delighted to learn a new way of looking at flying geese to simplify and perfect them. It was, after all, Summer School at our retreat in the Bennington High School.

| Prairie Wind |
1. Cut a tan background rectangle the size you want your flying geese to be plus seam allowances.
2. Cut a dark square twice diagonally to create 4 triangles. This gives you a bias edge on the 90 degree edges so there will be no raveling.
3. In the bottom row, you can see the gold triangle and tan rectangle. The gold triangle is placed on the tan rectangle, bottom edges aligned.
4. Glue in place and topstitch 1/8" from the bias edges.
Your block measures the exact size you want.

Oh I'd love Prairie Wind pattern! One day maybe I'll get to come to a KT retreat?!?! Thanks for this chance.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite retreat experience was one year when I took my sister with me to Kinderhook. On the 2nd day she just HAD to have a Starbucks. I'm not a Starbucks girl but I Googled the nearest location. There was one up in Quincy and, when we made the trip, Ta! Da! I found a new "favorite" quilt shop! Now whenever at Kinderhook I make the trip to Quincy to that quilt shop (A to Z Quilt Shop).
ReplyDeleteA to Z Quilt Shop is a real treat to go to. It is my "go to" shop as I live just across the river in MIssouri. The ladies there are very helpful - it is just an amazing shop.
DeleteWow, that is a lot of quilters! I bet a fun time was had by all, too.

Love the look of Prairie Winds! Love going to our Guild Retreats. Especially the winter one when you out the windows and see the snow coming down. You don't have to cook, sew with friends and just have a great time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great turnout for your retreat and what fun that would be. I have not had the opportunity to go to a retreat but I am hoping to in the future! I love those flying geese! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to one in years but it was always about old friends and meeting new friends.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy secret sister gift exchanges and workshops at retreats!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a retreat before, but it's definitely on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I have never done a retreat. I would love to do one some day though. It seems like it would be great fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope a KT and Friends retreat comes to my area! It looked like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI just love your Prairie Winds quilt! Thanks for sharing the flying geese information. The only retreat I’ve been to so far, was a knitting one and it was truly amazing to find a group of people from 27 states that just became instant friends because of the craft! I hope to improve my quilting skills and someday experience a quilting retreat as well!
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh!!! I love Prairie Winds. It reminds me of pinwheels. I also love Circling Geeses. I would love to win the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a quilting retreat but if I ever have the chance, it would be a KT retreat. My favorite fabrics and patterns all seem to be from KT.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a quilt retreat but I will attend my first in October. I can’t wait. I would have loved to have been at yours. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing what everyone is doing and get such great ideas from so many new friends. Love your Prairie Winds....
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a quilt retreat (money and time constraints, primarily), but it seems to be so much fun. Maybe some day!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, retreats are/can be expensive do you belong to a quilt guild? do you have a store near you? there are day retreats that can be formed as well just to share with other quilters that are in the same situation. I go to a store and sew on Friday's once a month for 6hours it is so much fun they were strangers that have now become friends.
DeleteI am glad you had a great time. Sadly I have never been on a retreat as an adult. As a kid, just camps. On my list of things to do. quiltng dash lady at comcast dot net
ReplyDeleteI love your Prairie Winds quilt. I'm sure your quilt retreat was lots of fun. Hopefully, I'll get to attend one someday.
ReplyDeleteYour retreat sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite retreat experiences is waking up early and being the first to start the machine whirring into action. Plugging in the coffee pot for those that follow and seeing their smiles as we are ready for the day. I love that I don't have to cook clean or think about anything but the project(s) I have brought to work on. I love to see what other members are creating I do walk about's to the other tables and talk about the members projects only to have wanna do's at the end! I absolutely love retreats there are not enough in a year! thanks for sharing such a great time.
ReplyDeletei have never been to a retreat but i have enjoyed some lectures from quilting stars at our local quilt shop. i would like to attend a retreat some day...maybe when i retire!
ReplyDeleteI love the camaraderie at Retreat and being up early to start my day at my machine. Love the pattern. Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteI've been on long weekend retreats with friends in our homes. Always a good time. Prairie Winds caught my eye, great looking pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love retreats! I think my best time was attending my 1st retreat with a group of ladies I had gotten to know through an online group. We were from several different states. It was so much fun to meet the ladies and put faces with the names!

I am sorry to say that I have never been able to attend a retreat. I would love to sometime, but so far have not. I think it would be a great experience.
ReplyDeleteAny retreat is a good experience. The fellowship around making a quilt doesn't get any better then at a retreat!
ReplyDeleteHaven't attended a retreat yet, but have taken many classes over the years. Always love learning new things!
ReplyDeleteRetreats give you time to focus just on quilting and enjoying the process. No distractions. Just bonding with your project and other quilters. Ahh
ReplyDeleteI've never been on a retreat.
ReplyDeleteHave not been to a retreat yet but am signed up for your retreat in October- counting the days especially since I have read all the good comments about your first retreat this June!!! Love the prairie wind quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a retreat; too expensive for me. I would love to do that someday if I can find the right combo!
ReplyDeleteI have not had the pleasure of participating in a quilt retreat but hope to someday! I bet it was such fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun to stay up late with a couple of friends and sew into the wee hours. Love how you don't have to worry about meals or laundry! Great times with friends and new ones too!
ReplyDeleteWOW
ReplyDeleteWish I could give you a really nice story, but I have not been able to go to a retreat. Something I know I would love. Nice group you had.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a retreat but it sure sounds like fun! I love the Prairie Wind pattern, so beautiful! Thanks for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteNo retreats here either, but when I was a young homeschooling mom, my husband took all four kids for the day four weeks in a row so I could go to all-day Saturday classes at a local quilt shop. It was bliss! The quilt I made in the class was for him, and he still loves it, 24 years later. Thanks for the chance to win :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to a retreat someday but so far have not had the experience. Sounds like lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteI have to try your technique--it looks so fun! I attend 4 retreats each year. They are all pretty free-form and everyone works on their own projects and that is my favorite part--seeing what others are doing and being inspired!
ReplyDeletePrairie Winds is a beautiful quilt. Thank you for a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many beautiful quilts, runners, pillows & more in your new Prairie Life booklet. I will be sewing with you in July & have decided to make the Layered Patchwork Runner with you. Your color combinations are so beautiful & can't wait to start on your Potluck & your Goose, Goose, Duck quilt. See you soon!
ReplyDeleteLove prairie winds a bunch, I'm totally gonna have to make it soon. I remember piecing a bunch of layered patchwork geese for gooseberry lane, and your method saved me so much time and cutting. Hopefully I can make it to one of your retreats soon as I've never been.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a retreat before but it sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteI love spending time with old friends as well as making new friends who all share a common love of Quilting!. It is the best!

ReplyDeleteI thought I pushed the publish button & it accepted my comment, but it is easy to get confused. I have only been to one local long weekend retreat. And as nice as it was, I know there are wonderful things that await me, when I get an opportunity to be blessed with a week long or longer retreat, especially away in a different state. I love to travel, so travel isn’t a factor .... maybe it’s a tight budget, I’m not sure. No matter, the time will come out right. GOD has surely Blessed my life as it is, I’m sure HE HASNT. FORGOTTEN! I love your “Prairie Life” Pattern, & I would be honored to win it. The same for a chance! Keep in keepin’ in thanks for allowing me on your sight and chances to win! Many ablessjngs & Morestart
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter your contest for the "Paririe Life" Pattern. I am a very New beginner quilter and just learning with one of your patterns.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Judy Ann.
DeleteI do love flying geese.... I need to use them more..... Lovely quilts here.....
