Prairie Christmas Charming Thursday

Just a note to all commentors out there - please email your address to ktquilts@twinvalley.net  if you're a winner so I can send your booty. That means you, Bertiequilts!

Congrats to Nancy E - you've just won yourself a bit of Strawberry Jam! But don't stop there, sign up for another Charming Thursday today and you could win a charm pack of Prairie Christmas, too.

My first holiday collection was inspired by a vintage holly/berry print. It debuted before charm packs really existed and only has 20 pieces in the line. Moda cut some 4" charms for market and we made a little quilt with squares and stars - very simple, very small. Glad the charms now have 40 squares even if they have to double up a few. Makes it easier to design charm quilts, that's for sure.

Speaking of charms, I've designed a charm quilt for every line (more than 20!) since charm packs arrived on the scene over than 5 years ago. We've been selling exclusively to quilt shops for our Charmed Club, but are thinking about going mainstream and offer some of our favorites as KT Classic Charms. I need you to vote again and let me know which ones you like the best. We'll do a few more later in the week. I so appreciate your input, ladies!

Just 1,2,3,4 from top to bottom works for me. (Don't tell anybody, but if the big brown truck doesn't drop off a box of BRAND NEW fabric tomorrow, I'm taking whatever they've got as ransom!)
Later, ladies.

    I am very excited to have won Strawberry Jam! Thanks so much!

    My favorite is #3. In fact, I have made the pattern twice .... once for myself and another time for DDIL. Love #2 because of the applique. #4 is good, too. My vote is 3,2,4,1.

  21. ReginaApril 21, 2011 at 9:19 AM

    I pick 2 first because I love applique. 4 next because my first quilting class was a log cabin and it reminds of that quilt. I still love it and use it all the time. I would love to win the Prairie Christmas charms to go with my Warm Memories charms that I just purchased.

    I've sat here scrolling back and forth looking at 1,2,3,4 and thought I had my first choice but then the other one said, "hey pick me first". Decisions on such beauties is impossible when I like them all equally.
