A Little more Oak Haven

KT Winner

Crickets Corner - Fall is my favorite season. I love the colors and how everything starts to wind down from the hectic days of summer. Love the Acorn Medley wall hanging, it's perfect for welcoming the season. You do know that now I will be on the hunt for an Acorn thimble holder from now on. Rina

Congrats, Rina. You're the winner of our Acorn Medley pattern and Oak Haven charm pack. You're on your way to a beautiful fall season!


Missouri River Quilt Guild

We had a wonderful day with the ladies in Jefferson City, MO last week. I was so impressed with the wide variety of Twisted quilts they made in just a few hours. Here's a sampling from their guild meeting that evening.

Twisted Workshop - brights, darks and in between.

I love that several quilters chose to make the Twisted wedges all the same color, but different fabrics. The purple queen size strip is awesome!
 Thanks to all of you for your hospitality and kind words of encouragement. It filled my soul.

Oak Haven is Here!

I've heard so many positive comments and excitement from quilters who've seen the Oak Haven fabric and projects. It's one of my all time favorite KT fall collections to date. You've seen many of the projects over the past few weeks - Oak Haven lap quilt, runner & pillow sleeve, Argyle Sox lap and runner, and last week, the Acorn Medley charm pattern. This week, I want to share our newest addition to the KT family - KT Kut-ups. Our precut fusible applique packs make our Oak Haven lap quilt so much easier to assemble. We found a local quilter's husband who has been laser cutting her  appliques for years. When he asked if we were interested, I jumped at the chance. There are more than 300 individual applique pieces in the Oak Haven lap quilt. It's a fabulous time and hand/finger saver. We're planning more Kut-ups for the Acorn Medley charm quilt and more. Oak Haven lap quilt Kut-ups $38.95 retail.

 This KT Kut-ups pack has all the leaves, acorns, flowers and berries, ready to fuse to your quilt top.

One more project from the Oak Haven booklet, especially for applique lovers, is our Harvest runner. Two fabrics plus a charm pack for the appliques, is all you need to create a delightful tribute to the fall season. So simple, so easy! Even easier with our Kut-ups pack, available soon.



Is it fall where you live? We finally threw open all the windows and are reveling in the cooler days and crisp nights. Truly quilt weather. Comment to win a scrap box of Oak Haven fabric leftover from all the different projects.

Stay tuned next week for the announcement of the October Special!

  4. Autumn is here in Ohio too. The leaves are not turning yet but the windows are open, the fields are being harvested, and tractors are on the roads. Almost time to put the flowers to bed for winter too. My favorite time of year!!

  5. I'm not ready for fall yet but I'm glad that summer is working overtime and it's sunny and warm although the nights are already cool. Hope it stays this way a little bit longer.

  6. It is fall here, and I love it. The trees are starting to change, the colors are beautiful and the air is crisp and smells so good. I love the runner you showed.

  7. I think it's so marvelous that you're offering the pre cut appliques because that will really make creating these designs so much easier and less frustrating. Because who wants to be frustrated when they're quilting? We quilt for enjoyment, personal growth and as a creative outlet. Frustration just doesn't fit in there. My favorite thing about autumn is the colors of the season. Inspiration from Nature!

  11. Fall is my favorite time of year, too. Makes me want to make soup! Love the colors and cool nights. Love your fabric, Lynn, fell in love with it years ago and can't get enough of it! Thanks for all you do and for the acorns! Just collected a handful from a recent park walk (Letchworth in New York State, absolutely beautiful and peaceful place). Wish I had picked up more!

  22. Fall is the best time of year to make table runners and wall hangings! And there are hundreds of acorns in our front yard to inspire me! Love the fabric!!

  27. I live in Southern California so Fall is an idea that we create. :) Making Fall and Holiday quilt projects help to get in the mood and create anticipation. I love the new Oak Haven fabric!

  28. Love, love, love the Oak Haven line! It is great for fall quilting in a little bit of our own oak haven here in the mountains of western North Carolina! I'm using charms to make a queen size quilt for our bedroom for the season.

  29. We do not really have fall here in Florida. But I bring the autumn colors indoors. Love decorating with the reds, oranges, and browns to warm up our home.

  30. Our foliage here in eastern PA peaks in mid October but we're starting to get little glimpses of yellow on the birches and red on the sumac. Lots of acorns all over the place. Perfect setting for Oak Haven!

  31. Loving the cooler weather now that it has arrived. Decorating is in full swing and the beds are now wearing their Autumn quilts.

  32. One reason I follow you is your color choices! I love the navy blues, pumkin abd cheddar oranges, leafy golds and crimson reds! Those are fall colors in all its glory!

    ReplyDelete
  33. So pretty! I love the table runner and quilt.

  41. I live in western WA where Fall is just around the corner. Nights are cooling off and daytime highs have moderated. We had a final hurrah with 81 degrees just the other day. I love this time of year!

  42. We live on a military base in northern Japan, and yes, it is feeling Fall like for sure! This is my favorite season! Looking forward to cooking soups and playing for fabric and quilting. :)

  43. Fall is finally arriving in northern Indiana and I love it. The colors of the season are my favorites. I would love to incorporate some of the Oak Haven scraps into my next project. The truth is, some of your fabrics are in everything I make. Thanks for the chance to win.

  44. I too am ready to open some windows to let some sunshine in during the day and snuggle under one of my quilts when I go to bed at night. Just this week we went from a 90 degree high on Sunday and today the high will only be 66. I hope we have a true fall season! I'm so looking forward to fall break and hopefully seeing some beautiful fall colors....

  45. Love Oak Haven!!!! This one and Sunflower Song are my most favorites of all.

  46. Fall is so much fun in Wisconsin. Beautiful trees changing colors and the chance to make leaf houses with the grandkids. Love fall and all its variety of colors just like KT's fabrics that I love using in my projects.🍂

    ReplyDelete
  47. Fall is absolutely my favorite season! The only downfall is that it doesn't seem to last very long. September this year was too much like summer temperatures in the 80s and 90s. Today, the 1st of October, should be a cooler day. Will be outside most of the day enjoying the crisp air. Harvest is "just" getting started around here (really late for us). Pumpkins and gourds, dried foliage my favorite decorating accessories. Orange is my favorite color! Love your Oak Haven lap quilt! Enjoy the season!
