Let's Celebrate the Holidays!

Holiday Open House at KT Bernina

Join us this Saturday, Dec.14th, for specials on KT Christmas fabrics, patterns, kits (25% off) and decor (40% off). We'll be there from 10am to 3pm to share a cookie and jolly holiday smiles. See you then!

KT Winner

Congratulations to Paula A. - you're the winner of the Bees Knees pattern & ruler. I hope you enjoy the fast & easy layered patchwork technique for a simple but really cool quilt. Please email your mailing address to lynne@ktquilts.com. I wasn't sure about the Honeycomb hexagons at first, but have found them to be great fun to play with. We'll have more fun with Honeycombs in our new book this spring! See if first here!

Christmas Magic

Our Blog Blowout for December is a magical trio of Christmas patterns just for you - or a quilting friend. It's not too late to make a small quilt or pillow topper for that hard-to-buy-for special person in your life.
Holiday Ties uses easy 4-patch piecing to create bow ties with just a little
layered patchwork square stitched on top while you're quilting!

Our December Star pillow topper is great for the holidays but wonderful in any colorway to match your
home decor for all year enjoyment. 14" square to button diagonally over an 18" covered pillow.


Christmas J-O-Y begins with just 3 Layer Cake squares for the ornaments and their trim utilizing the
pinked edge as a design element. It's a quick project anyone on your list is sure to love.

All 3 Christmas patterns are just $9.99 total on the KT webstore at this link: Christmas-Trio-of-Bonus-Patterns. Offer expires December 24th.

Oh My! We Have a Giveaway!

I totally forgot to include the fat 1/8 bundle of KT Christmas fabrics from over the years. 40 different prints from more than half a dozen Christmas lines - too fun! Comment here for a chance to win by December 20th.

Thanks so much to all of you who follow my blog, send words of support & encouragement and enjoy quilting as much as I do. I love to travel and meet quilters all over the country. Hope to see you sometime soon! Or, come visit us at the KT Retreat! Check availability on our website at KT Retreats.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year to you all!
Lynne

    Hi, I LOVE everything from Kansas Troubles, especially that all your lines go together. I know within the last few months you were at The Old Country Store in PA, did you here they closed last Friday. It's so sad, so many of us loved that place. I'd drive there several times a year for my fabric fix. New York isn't close to Kansas or I'd be coming your way, wish I were closer. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway! ;-> Toni Anne

    I'm another long time fan of Kansas Troubles and you will find your fabrics sprinkled throughout my projects. Trying your raw-edge technique is high on my bucket list. Currently I am working on small quilts and want to incorporated your mini charms. Love them! May you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and loved ones.

    We bought a house in October and my husband, the painter, helped me chose the color for the master bedroom. I showed him a table runner made with KT fabric and said "This is what I want to decorate around." He chose the background color in a light print. I took it to the paint store and they matched it. Now we have a warm and cozy and KT master bedroom. :)

    What a nice give-away! It's been colder here in the Pacific NW than I ever remember - my town was at 8 and the city two hours south was -10. These may not be that cold to some, but when you don't have clothes for it, it's downright chilly!
