Bees 'n Blooms is Here!
We're so excited our newest fabric line is finally in the store. Bees 'n Blooms precuts arrived a couple weeks ago, but no yardage until last week. Now it's time to make dozens of kits on preorder, tie up fat quarter bundles and make room for all the new quilts. My favorite time at the store! Here are a couple of the new displays you'll see if you stop by.

Prairie Christmas
Could it really be time to start thinking about Christmas menus and decorating and wrapping presents again already? No! But it is time for the best part of Christmas - buying new fabric to make gifts for everyone on your list! Christmas fabric collections will begin arriving in quilt shops soon, and KTQ is no exception. Our group this year was inspired by the bright little red buds poking thru the crust of snow in the pastures here in Kansas, our Prairie Cactus. The feature fabric and other spiky, prickly images in the coordinating prints reminded me of walks in the snow as a kid when we discovered these bright spots amidst the winter's gray.

So, get out your notebook of saved ideas and take some time to peruse your list of "to-do" quilts. Need a simple project for a college grankid? Twisted fits the bill. It's an easy strippy quilt using a Jelly Roll, our KT Wedge Template and a few fabrics for background. Make it longer for a dorm bed easily by extending the strips to your measurement.

Here are a few other ideas from KT Christmases past. Check out all our Christmas quilts and projects at our website, ktquilts.com.

ReplyDeleteSew many want to do's...
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful quilts. And I do love a mystery :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Cooper's Crossing quilt top is finished! I love the scrappy look. While in Pigeon Forge, I was able to buy a pinking attachment for my Singer Featherweight, so now I can make pinked edge strips out of anything. Who knew??
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas planning involves a wedding and I have been thinking of a pattern to complete for it. The bride's requested a Fall color scheme and KT fabrics certainly can be used for this request. Thanks for a chance in the giveaway.

Yep, I DO love a mystery! Mystery quilts - whodunnits on TV shows are all good!
ReplyDeleteNormally I don't look forward to winter- but with your new fabrics I certainly will !!!!
ReplyDeleteSince I bought EVERYTHING you had in Pigeon Forge, the Prarie Christmas is the one thing I DON'T have! I would love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the Twisted Quilt. Have already started Christmas sewing, but can always use new ideas.
ReplyDeleteBee's in Bloom and Prairie Cactus are both lovely fabric lines, can't wait to find them in the store. Shhhhhhhh, don't say that C word...I've barely recouped from last year's. ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt's great advise to getting thinking about Christmas quilty gifts this early in the year! It will certainly make gift quilting more enjoyable as well as leave time during the Holidays to actually relax and enjoy the gift giving (and food)! lol! I like the package pattern as well as the 3 ornaments in the Christmas pic... and the Bees 'n Blooms quilt in the second pic! This morning it's all about the flowers (despite the freeze warning out my window)! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the new Bee's in Bloom, Lynn. Great job of designing and of course the colors are my favorites. Christmas will be fun making new quilts and gifts for my family and friends.
ReplyDeleteAlways happy to add to my stash and your fabrics are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove the Bee's n Bloom fabric. Can't wait to get my hands on some. And yes great plans for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love a mystery! My stash is full of your fabrics just waiting for that special project. Maybe I'll be lucky and win those patterns. Thanks for the opportunity to,be a winner.
ReplyDeleteNever too early for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love that bees and blooms quilt. Looking forward to seeing more Christmas ideas. I like working on Christmas all year.
ReplyDeleteI am SEW ready to start my Christmas projects. I bought lots of flannel precuts. Count me in, Lynne!

ReplyDeleteTwisted is just adorable. I cannot even begin thinking about Christmas yet especially because I'm not ready to start my Halloween projects yet!
ReplyDeleteI love the holiday display of ideas! never too early!!
ReplyDeleteI think Bees and Blooms are my favorite line of yours to date. I've spent the last three days at a retreat and lots of comments about "my beautiful fabrics". Christmas is my favorite time of year so I'm looking forward to the Praririe Christmas projects and fabric.
ReplyDeleteBees and Blooms is my new favorite but as soon as you release the next line it will be. You just keep getting better and better. I've already begun thing about Christmas and searching for ideas for gifts The only problem is that I when I saw the quilt with the packages and ornaments I decided I need to make me one. Rina
ReplyDeleteBuzzz charm quilt is very cute. Gorgeous fabrics.
ReplyDeleteTruly a nice post on Christmas! Love celebrating it grandly with my loved ones. I always host family parties this year but this year we had to attend a wedding at one of wedding venues NYC. It was equally a great experience.
