KT Winner
I
have a special "thing" for acorns. Don't know where that comes from?
Probably the same place where my love affair with lace, vintage hankies,
salt cellars, quilts, fabric and.......you get the idea! A little
jacked up! :) What a nice giveaway.
Congratulations, fellow acorn addict! Send your shipping address to lynne@ktquilts.com and we'll send out your KT Collector's Club pack. Enjoy!
Mad about Acorns
I admit it. I'm obsessed with acorns. I love autumn and everything that comes with it - cool nights, snuggly sweaters, leaves turning fiery colors crunching under foot, and especially, acorns large and small. I'm enamored with their shape, perfect for holding a thimble. I think the acorn caps are adorable and have jars of them. OK, maybe I don't need a 12-step program for my particular addiction (some people's husbands would disagree), but there are times when it seems just a tad out of control. Even I was surprised (a little) when I started searching for all the sewing related acorn items I've collected over the years. Someday I'll share all the non-sewing acorn stuff and jewelry inspired by the little nut.There's the vegetable ivory acorn with a thimble inside...
and velvet...
and wool...
and even little acorns handmade with KT Oak Haven fabric! Thanks so much to Ginger at TheGingerSnapShoppe.Etsy.Com who created them for me. Check out her etsy site for all kinds of adorable acorns and much more!

So what does an acorn obsessed quilter do when creating a fall quilt? Piece a few favorite blocks using my layered patchwork technique for quick results, and scatter acorns and oak leaves and flowers and berries all over!

My heart flutters every time I look at this quilt. It's one of my all time favs. Next week I'll share the runner and pillow sleeve that were inspired by leftover parts & pieces that coordinate perfectly. I have my fall decor all ready to go. How about you?
Comment here to win a handful of my custom KT acorns.
I love everything in this post, but my favorite is the quilt at the end. It looks like a fun quilt to make, but my first thought was that it would be a great runner and there you were with the same idea!
ReplyDeleteOne can never have too much of a good thing. Fortunately I have a very tolerant husband.

Love the colors of fall ! And it's so much fun living out in the country watching the squirrels gather acorns, walnuts, etc as they stock up on their winter feed. Just like quilters, stocking up for our winter sewing projects.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to know I am not the only one crazy about acorns. Like you I have a big collection of all things acorn related. I live you new quilt. Wonderful autumnal colours. I look forward to seeing the runner and pillow sleeve
ReplyDeleteOh. My. gosh. I love that quilt! and all the acorns are adorable. what a dear selvedge.....
ReplyDeleteThe fabric line is rich and beautiful. Has been cool and rainy here for weeks so it sort of feels like Fall.
ReplyDeleteI love that quilt too!! Oh nuts! Another one to add to my growing TO DO LIST!:o))
ReplyDeleteIts fall right now where I live and the trees look so beautiful, what a shame they only stay like that for a few weeks. I'd love some of those awesome acorns, thank you for such a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt - I love anything Fallish... the pumpkins on the quilt are fabulous! tks!
ReplyDeleteWhat cute acorns. I have stitched these before, and have a few in my pin cushion collection, but I do not have any that are made with KT fabric! Love the new fabrics, have a fun time at Market!
ReplyDeleteIn the midst of summer coming on, we can look at acorns and dream of fall!! That's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt at the end of your post - love it!!
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite time of year so I'm right there with you on the acorns!!!
ReplyDeleteYour collection is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the link to Ginger's shop.
ReplyDeleteThanks for having your giveaways
ReplyDeleteI have acorns all over the house, and my mud room is squirrel themed! I love everything you create
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite time of the year. So, no wonder warm quilts and acorns fit right in. A nice long pillow cover for my bed would be just wonderful. So many nice things to make, never enough time. And, I am retired!!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of Fall best and it is my favorite season. Love your quilt. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite season too! I love all the rustic colors, the pumpkins and gourds, cold nights and cider - what is not to love! Your new line is stunning and the quilt on my to-do list! Thanks for doing a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWow, I never knew those little acorn caps existed, they're adorable! I LOVE the applique on your Oak Haven quilt too!
ReplyDeleteI just realized ACORNS are a childhood favorite I have been missing here in Wyoming! Loved reading your article about them - thank you for filling my need in remembering these little "jewels" I use to collect as a child. ♥
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a handful of the acorns. They will go so well with my fall decor and the acorns my granddaughter gave me last fall. I can't wait to make something with the KT Oak Haven fabric. Great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI bought some velvet acorns one year at a quilt show. I love the quote on your selvedge edge. I will be on the lookout for your fall fabric line. Fall colors are the best1
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite time of year, and I love fall quilts. Your fall quilt would be a wonderful addition to my collection! The acorns you are giving away are darling too! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOak Haven is gorgeous! I have a love/hate relationship with acorns. We have lots of old oak trees on our property that drop acorns on the roof of our metal roofed shed. The pinging can drive one crazy! However, they also attract lots of squirrels which provides us with endless entertainment!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE acorns & just about any Fall item. Am presently working on a large wall-hanging with wool, but the acorns aren't as cute as yours!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. Your acorns are so cute. It's so fun to find an acorn shaped sewing help.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to use the selvedge for! My grandson was at my house in Memphis and saw a green acorn laying on the ground. He picked it up and saved it because it was special, it didn't look like the other acorns!
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty fall fabric. I have been saving my selvedges for a few years & am thrilled that Moda has been adding designs to them.
ReplyDeleteI adore oak trees and acorns!! They are my favorite! So excited about your new line!
ReplyDeleteLove the fall and what it brings! Also love the quilt! Keep em comin!
ReplyDeleteThose little acorns are adorable! The Oak Haven quilt will be on my list of quilts to make. That is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour new collection looks great! My favorite things in the autumn are the colorful trees and pumpkins I love them!
ReplyDeleteOak Haven is gorgeous. It is going on my list of quilts to make.
ReplyDeleteFabulous design,great job.
ReplyDeleteNo fall décor yet. I have summer and winter covered and I am working on spring right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your acorn collection with us. Now I think I will be on the hunt for acorns also. Who knew there were so many cool acorns to love.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I was the only "nut" who loves acorns. Thank you for your designs both quilt and fabric.
ReplyDeleteI love the Oak Haven quilt pattern. I love fall, all the colors of fall, the cool weather before winter. Walking through the crunchy leaves. Thank you for sharing your acorns with us.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Quilt. I love your fabrics and have quite the collection. Now, if I can live long enough to make the quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love your acorn collection. :) The quilt at the end of this post is STUNNING! No, I don't have my fall decor all quilted and ready to go. I'll have to add your Oak Haven lap quilt to my project list!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for fall now and spring hasn't decided whether or not it wants to stay. Seems like such a long time to wait but it is worth the wait. Fall is my favorite time of the year, everything is covered in my favorite colors and so warm and cozy. The Oak Haven quilt is absolutely awesome, it is on my to do NOW list!!

ReplyDeleteI too love fall, may be my favorite season of all. Love the new quilt!!! It's spectacular. I wish I could say I was ready for fall but right now I'm still anxiously awaiting spring. 36 here in Indiana this morning. Kinda CRAZY for mid-May! Oh well, I spent the entire weekend in my sewing room working on an applique project filled with your wonderful fabric and got the 1st boarder on my Cooper's Crossing quilt completed.
ReplyDeleteLooking at your gorgeous quilt makes me want to jump in a pile of crunchy leaves and go looking for the best pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. What a beautiful way to celebrate fall.
