Sweet Pea is Coming!
The grankids have returned to their respective homes after a hectic week-before-school-and-all-the-summer-day-camps-are-closed play date with Gramma and Grampa. Always fun to see them and hear what's new, always great to see them go and have my quiet, simple life back. Anyway, I was able to do some sorting with Aleece while she was here scrounging through my piles of scraps leftover from various projects. She has learned to hand stitch and can't get enough of it - clipped & snipped doll clothes designed without a pattern, buttons and beads for embellishment, snaps (a new skill) sewn on with care and ribbon ties for belts and apron strings. Pretty cool stuff even if I am the Gramma. But I digress. Lois, my dear piecer, bags and tags most of the scraps she brings back, but there are always a few piles that grow as we sew. To announce the impending delivery of Sweet Pea next month, I've assembled a bundle of scraps for one lucky quilter. Comment here by next Wednesday to win! |

ReplyDeleteLove this collection. So nice of you to share
ReplyDeleteHow fun to teach a granddaughter to sew! I have three grandsons who love their quilts, but no patience for sewing at 6, 3 and 2. Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first granddaughter in the next few weeks!
ReplyDeleteI am also teaching my granddaughter to sew and having this special time with just the two of us is great!! Since my daughter has no desire to sew I am loving every minute of this experience. Also glad to know that when I leave this earth there is a loved one to cherish my sewing room and fabric. Would love your scraps to start her on a new project.
ReplyDeleteI love your scraps . If your giveaway is open to international readers, i'd like to a part of it.

Luv scraps, thanks for sharing your scraps!! Looking forward to Sweet Pea arriving in my local fabric shops. Enjoy your weekend!!

I just returned two of my grandgirls to their parents today, so I am right where you were when you wrote this: ready for normal piece and quiet (with emphasis on piece!) We made a skirt for the 13-year-old while they were here, and we talked about an apron for the 8-year-old. She'll likely see that under the tree for Christmas. The inspiration for this coming gift was her modeling two size 8 aprons I've made for our church's fall bazaar. They were SO CUTE on her that I'm going to sew an apron for her, even if she doesn't cook. Heck, she can wear it to paint or whatever. Hope I win your bundle!!!!!
ReplyDeletegreat looking bundle. my nephews are now 17,22, and 24 and I miss back to school shopping, esp the sneakers that light up.
ReplyDeleteI love the warm colors of Sweet Pea! Thanks a lot for this new giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day
Sweet Pea looks beautiful. Sweet Pea is what I call my granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteSweet Pea is sweet - love the colors!
ReplyDeleteSweet Pea scraps look fabulous. Count me in please.
ReplyDeleteScraps are my favorite! And these scraps look like real treasures! I have lots of KT fabrics to go with these :)
ReplyDeleteEven snips and cuts of KT fabrics will be a dream addition to my stash. Our color choices have always been in sinc.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful Line!!! I could make those scraps sing! hehe Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteLove Sweet Pea. Would love scraps. Thanks for the chance to win them.
ReplyDeleteCan't have enough of KT fabrics. I enjoy scrappy quilts and those scraps look wonderful. Hate seeing summer come to an end...but do love the fall in Iowa. Thanks for your generous nature.
ReplyDeleteSweet Pea looks as lovely as all your other lines. Just finished a small table topper in KT fabrics. I make scrap quilts all the time. ~ Jody R
ReplyDeleteSweet Pea is indeed sweet and I love it too! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteNo matter how hard I try to resist I cannot stop myself from getting your new fabric lines. No matter how many bolt of fabric I look at in the quilt shops I always know that your fabric plays well with all the other fabrics you designed in the past that reside in my closet. I cannot tell you how happy that makes me, I know with other fabric lines I have tried to add to i have usually had the unpleasant surprise of a bringing home a fabric to add to the quilt and it just doesn't play nice with the other fabrics in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you made some wonderful memories with your grand kids that they will have for the rest of their lives, enjoy them :)
I'd love using some KT scrap fabrics in my string quilt and other projects. Thanks for the giveaway! Lana
