It's a busy week with grankids coming and going - Aleece is staying all week, Rowan is here Monday thru Wednesday, then Delainey comes Friday & Saturday as we take Aleece home to KC and visit the American Girl Store. Having one grankid at a time makes for leisurely quiet conversations and cuddling in front of the TV, but when there are two or more together, the laughter never stops. I love listening in on their late night whisperings about their friends, parents, and life in general. It's a unique perspective as a granparent - one I cherish. So, all week, I'm trying to work early and play all afternoon, but there's a long list of to-do's at the shop. The kids have volunteered to carry boxes upstairs to earn some money for snacks at the swimming pool this afternoon. They better go early as it's supposed to hit 105 here today. I can't send them home scorched!

What would you like to see on our website?Just For You Gift Bag
Our new pattern this month for KT Stash Society is a gift bag for the holidays. How special to "wrap" a present in a quilted bag that can be used all year through. It's a great size (12"x14"x2") for carrying all your necessities - a tablet, books, magazines, paperwork. Adjustable tie straps make it very versatile. Our layered patchwork technique makes it fast & easier enough to make several!

All the projects made with your fabrics alway turn out to be my latest "favorite." I love tote bags, so would really enjoy this pattern as well. Thanks! Lana
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm not alone in my favorites - anything with your fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabrics and patterns, I have a hard time finding them locally though.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I was just thinking on how I like to make bags to put presents in but mine aren't near as nice as yours. You have so many great patterns, I love all your stars and log cabins. Thanks.

Currently my favorite project is your anniversary quilt. I am doing my applique in wool; learning as I go; and it has been a "love...hate" relationship...But it will all be worth it when I'm done. Love the bag! jmh
