KT Winner
Congratulations to:
Heather - Your mini marvel Dashing quilt is so sweet! I love it!
Thanks for commenting and sharing, Heather. Hope you enjoy the new Moda Mini Marvels book. It's loaded with tons of mini fun!
I love to hear from each of you every week. I read every word and appreciate your support and enthusiasm for everything KTQ. Working alone in my studio most days, it's such a happy connection for me. The next best thing to traveling and teaching amongst quilters.Thanks for taking the time to comment. Let me know if there's someone you'd like to see in these pages in the future. Another KT Stitch With Me? More info on layered patchwork? More pictures of the store? I want this to be a conversation between us as friends.You're all so important to the success of KT. Thank you.
November Special
This month, we're featuring our Prairie Cactus fabric and booklet in the KT Quilt Shop and online. Prairie Cactus fabric is on sale for $9/yd. (KT price $10.50/yd. MSRP $11.95/yd.) Our Prairie Cactus booklet with 6 different projects is on sale for $12.00 (KT price $15.95). Watch over the next few weeks for more project options for fast & easy quilts that are still "sew" doable by the holidays.My favorite quilt in this book is the Cactus Stars lap quilt featuring our new KT Diamond Template and my layered patchwork technique. It simplifies and perfects the traditional Hunter's Star for less stress and more dimension.

Your fabric scraps are my fabric treasures!! Love the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe Hunter Star pattern is one of my favorites and I have yet to make one as I have been intimidated by it. No longer! You have simplified and demystified it for me. Just so clever and absolutely beautiful in Prairie Cactus.
ReplyDeleteI am new to quilting, but love the scrappy look, so I am always begging scraps and cleaning up after classes!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing quilt made with such a clever method. Well done.

ReplyDeleteLynne, it's so neat that you read each and every comment and that it brightens your days in the studio! You certainly brighten my day each week you post because your fabric colors and themes are my favorite from Moda. Also, I have sort of an obsession with Kansas and Laura Ingalls Wilder and living in a cabin on the prairie. :) With that all said, yes please, do share more on your layered patchwork technique. Also, could you share more photos of your studio, your town, the prairie, wildflowers in bloom in spring, etc.? And lastly, Cactus Stars is a winner!!! It's so beautifil!!!!

ReplyDeleteWow, love your Hunters Star! I may have to try this before Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThe Prairie Cactus fabric is my favorite line of fabric! (so far) And when it's paired with Hunter's Star; it is perfection.
ReplyDeleteI love the Prairie Cactus; in fact, I just bought some of them. Scraps from you would be awesome :)

ReplyDeleteI love star quilts! Your Cactus Star and Rustic Star quilts are gorgeous! I have been wanting to make a Hunter's Star quilt and your layered technique would make it a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteI love both of these quilts so much and the technique sounds like fun--brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics chosen in Rustic Stars ! I would love to see more pictures of the store, and techniques of the layered patchwork.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI made the Rustic Stars quilt for my son's wedding and it turned out beautifully. It's not as complicated as it looks and while it takes time, it's sooo worth it. Love the patterns, love the fabrics. Looking forward to trying the Five and Dime with the new fabrics. The fact that you can still coordinate fabrics over time is a huge plus to me and keeps me coming back. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are more than inspirational! Thanks for a chance to win. J. Perl (attyrdk@execpc.com)
ReplyDeleteOf course, throw my name into the hat to win this box of scraps. I'm making a 1.5" postage stamp quilt so I can handle even small scraps. Very lovely quilts you've featured.

I would LOVE to see you do another quilt tutorial with Jenny Doan from Missouri Quilt Company. You two are so funny together & I love it when there is a tutorial using Kansas Troubles!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure glad "it's not too late the christmas quilts" cause I haven't started any yet! I did finish up and deliver 2 charity quilts yesterday so right now I am cleared for action. As long as I don't think about that Christmas Star waiting to be quilted. I love quick quilts and your method is so amazing. Cut, stick on, topstitch, sew blocks together. Done. Love it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing machine dealer offers so many more classes the closer Christmas comes! Those scraps sure would come in handy!
ReplyDeleteYour Cactus Star is so appealing. I love the rich colors of your fabric lines. Currently one of your quilt designs done in your fabrics is gracing our living room. Your fabrics are so easy to live with.
ReplyDeleteI was excited to see your Cactus Star, I've always love the Hunter Block, but have not tried it. Thanks for the fun.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful quilt! Thanks for sharing how you made it. I may have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYour Cactus Star quilt is gorgeous! It would be great to snuggle under while watching Chrismas movies!
