Trying to get caught up but it's tough with Robert not working here anymore and 2 grandsons visiting. Finally feel like I'm getting back into a routine since being gone to IN and Market. No trips until the end of July for now. The boys are actually helping to fold/stuff patterns to earn some money. At 8 and 10, I figured it would last about 10 minutes, but they stuck with it and did a really good job folding and stuffing 100 patterns for a nickel a piece. They were thrilled and had to run right down to the soda fountain for ice cream to blow their hard eaned reward immediately. Oh well, there are always more patterns to fold!
Today's giveaway if for a Meadow Waltz charm pack. Comment by Friday night at 10pm for a chance to win. I love the wool applique on the blocks for this quilt. Several friends at a retreat helped stitch them to make a deadline, so it's a fond memory for me of helping hands. This book is out of print, so any of these could turn up as single patterns, if you're interested.
This Basket Full of Blooms quilt hangs in my bathroom where I see it every morning after my shower. It was the inspiration for our new Mini Table Treats Gathering Basket. The quilt to the left is Prairie Square Dance - just 9-patches and a little raw edge applique for vines.
Were you quilting in 2005 when Meadow Waltz was new?
See you Thursday for another edition of Charming Thursday with my second baby line, Farmyard Friends.

Love your quilt and how you incorporated wool applique into the blocks. I do wool applique, but have not combined the two into a quilt yet. Would love to win the charm pack and/or pattern. Thanks - Lana
ReplyDeleteMy quilting started after your fabric release. Enjoyed the story of your grands - reminded me of how my father would pay us a nickel for an hour of work back when a soft drink cost a nickel.
ReplyDeletePretty quilt! I should try the wool applique sometime!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is so cute...I love the alternating patch blocks with different flowers. The colors are so country!
ReplyDeleteI got my first sewing machine in 2005. It wasn't used on a regular basis until the past 6 months, where it is now used alot and has its own place to sit...
Thanks for another chance to win...I hope to win one :)
I have been quilting since way before KTQ fabrics started and probably have used some of nearly every line.

I started quilting when I retired in 2010. I went to your quilt show in Haubstadt and absolutely loved all the designs and fabrics all the quilts were made of. I"m HOOKED now!!
ReplyDeleteHave just recently started working with wool and LOVE it. Would like to see a single pattern. Enjoy those grandkids! Janet
ReplyDeleteStarted quilting in the 80s, and yes, I still have a bit of Meadow Waltz in my Kansas Troubles stash. Would love more!!

ReplyDeleteI wasn't quilting in 2005, the quilt & wall hanger is lovely but I really like to the cushion pattern too!
ReplyDeleteI was quilting in 2005 and I brought some of the Meadow Waltz line. There were some GREAT fabrics in that line. Unfortunately I didn't buy the Meadow Waltz book so hopefully you do bring back some of the patterns!

ReplyDeletePlease count me in. I would love to include some of the charm fabric in my current scrap quilt

ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely cute pattern.
ReplyDeleteI would appreciate being a part of the drawing...Karencg
Would like to be the winner of Meadow Waltz charm pack. Yes, I was quilting in 2005 but don't have that pattern.

ReplyDeleteReally love the wool/cotton combo and love Meadow Waltz, just gorgeous. You lead a charmed life, pun intended.
ReplyDeleteI was quilting before 2009 but didn't become aware of designers and specific fabric lines until I discovered blogging. Thanks for a chance.

ReplyDeleteStarted quilting at the beginning of this year and am always on the lookout for your past fabrics/patterns to build my stash!
ReplyDeleteI had just started quiltng in 2005 so I have missed
ReplyDeletelots of neat fabrics and designs from KTQ. When I did start I collected KT fabrics and you saww the result of that collection.
Would love to have some oldies but goodies.
Love the Basket of Blooms. I just recently became addicted to the KT fabrics. The warm,rich colors are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been around awhile! :) Love the primitive look...I'm finally thinking of doing the den in a primitive color palette. That's cause hubby brought me home a plaid couch!
ReplyDeleteThat pattern makes me feel "happy" just looking at it! Totally up my allie!
ReplyDeleteI love ANYTHING Kansas troubles. Yes I was quilting in 2005.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilts....I enjoy wool applique....Great giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was quilting in 2005. I hadn't discovered Kansas Troubles at that time. I was really into 3 Sisters florals. That has changed:)
ReplyDeleteI met a friend of yours last week. I was visiting my cousin in Onalaska, TX. Your friend, Marty lives next door to her at the lake. Loved seeing Marty's projects and sewing areas. She spoke about going with you to Market one year. What a delightful lady!
Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI have only been quilting a couple years so I don't remember when these came out
Thanks Gidget
Beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteNo, I wasn't quilting yet in 2005. I'm still very much a newbie. :o)
Love the quilt colors!
ReplyDeletehey thanks for posting your quilt. it is super beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMeadow Waltz was my first fat quarter collection that I ever bought,from my husband to me at Christmas. I am still hoarding what is left. Used it in many things, my favourite is an applique quilt, Karen Kay Buckley's Folk Art Fantasy, you can see it here: http://sunporchquilts.com/theview.aspx It's February 2008, so down close to the bottom. It hangs in my dining room.
