Christmas Future
Ok, so I'm not supposed to reveal too much about the newest Christmas collection for 2017, Gooseberry Lane, but that's what I've been working on and I can't wait to share. With a name like Gooseberry Lane, I decided to research quilt blocks with "goose" or "geese" in them. My go-to resource for historical reference is Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Blocks. It's my block bible. I highly recommend it. Her blog, Barbara Brackman's MATERIAL CULTURE, is also an informative source for vintage quilts, fabrics and blocks.
I found more than a dozen blocks with "goose/geese" in the name, including Flying Geese, Goose in the Pond, Goose & Goslings and Goose Tracks. The next step was to see if I could simplify any of them with my layered patchwork technique, insert the new fabric, experiment with sizes and see if they would all play together nicely. I added a bit of holiday fun with holly & berries (a new KT Kut-ups precut fusible applique pack) and a delightful Christmas sampler emerged. Borders were just added Christmas Eve day and it's headed to the quilter this week. Here's a peek at my new Gooseberry Sampler for 2017.
Your local quilt shop will be buying next year's holiday collections in January. If you like what you see, let them know!
Our little charm quilt for the collection is Joyful Wishes. Who wouldn't love to unwrap this Joy-ful expression of the holidays?
Comment this week to win another 'vintage" KT scrap bag - leftover parts and strips from kits over the years.
Here's to a Happy New Year full of quilting fun and surprises. Watch here January 2nd for our first Special of the Month for 2017.

The Joy quilt is wonderful! A perfect play of blocks and fabric! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSending Christmas Joy to you today! Terri
ReplyDeleteOh how I would love those scraps! Your Joy quilt is so cute, what a great treat for next Christmas. Thanks for a chance to win, love your fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLove the Joy pattern.
ReplyDeleteYour new line looks fabulous. Can't wait for the release. Maybe this is my lucky day to win some of your fabulous scraps. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Goose/Geese Year for 2017. Those scraps would be very happy with my other Kansas Troubles scraps I am sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to make a "goose" sampler out of your new fabric. The KT section of my stash is looking a bit depleted and a bag of KT scraps would be most welcome.
ReplyDeleteVintage is becoming one of my favorite words--I much prefer it to "Old School."
ReplyDeleteI really like what you're doing in the flying geese sampler and can't wait for you're next line to be available. I'd love some of your scraps to incorporate into my next quilt. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteJoy to you also. Both quilts are great.
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh... can't wait to get me some of that!
ReplyDeleteI'd love some your scraps to go with my K T scraps left from making Vintage Farm Girl quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
such lovely scraps! think of all the small quilts those would enhance!
ReplyDeleteWhat great scraps! I would use them to make flying geese for a table runner.
ReplyDeleteGooseberry Lane sounds so cool. I can't wait to see it and by the time it's ready, I'll be ready to make more Christmas quilts.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric, scraps, etc. Especially Wildflower Serenade blues!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas blocks look great. I especially like the one in the lower left of the group of four. I would love to win your scraps. Thank you for offering.
ReplyDeleteOh my - To win your scraps would be a dream come true. I enjoy quilting with scraps. I love your Kansas Trouble material.
ReplyDeleteI love the JOY quilt. I am thinking a few more scrapes and I could make a JOY quilt. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeletewishing you joy and a happy new year!! The Joy quilt is awesome!!

ReplyDeleteI love the sneak peek of your Gooseberry sampler.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your new Gooseberry collection and Sampler! Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteHere's to an exciting 2017 with geese all over the place. Can't wait t hear more. Love your patterns>
ReplyDeleteI just finished a flying geese quilt myself! Those triangles are irresistible, don't you think? I love every collection you design, and I loved seeing your quilts in person last year at a workshop here in Indiana. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThe little JOY quilt is just the cutest thing ever. I am not fond of making flying geese but you have to get over it and move forward because they do make the most striking quilts!!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love the easy layered patchwork way to make flying geese - just a triangle layered over the background rectangle & topstitch. Perfect every time!
DeleteCan't wait to see Gooseberry lane. As a new quilter I can't get enough scraps.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!! I am so excited to have won your scraps.

ReplyDeleteI love Christmas fabric and these look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGot a kick out of how you picked blocks for the sampler, exactly what I like to do-Goose-berry( I did this for my Friend whose dog's name was Raven.
I also follow Barbara Brackman and am learning so much, why didn't they teach this way in high school a thousand years ago, I might have become a history major(in quilts)
Thanks for the sneak peak and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
PS would love to win one of the scrab bags your fabrics are so me.
After dallying with modern quilting, I realized I didn't care for it so much. I'd swapped a lot of Kansas troubles early on, and I am slowly rebuilding my stash. I'd love to receive some KT scraps. I'll be eagerly awaiting your new fabric line
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Christmas and continue into the new year. Love the Gooseberry idea. Your scraps are my treasures. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love the JOY quilt. My bff and I collect things that say JOY! In fact, I have so many things that say JOY that someone thought that was my name. It would be a great gift for my friend. And me!
ReplyDeleteLove all your fabric lines, so I would love some vintage scraps. Thanks for the chance to win. Looking forward to Gooseberry Lane!
ReplyDeleteWe have to wait until June?
ReplyDeleteI hoard all KT fabric instead of sewing with it! I need to start sewing with it soon. ;-) Love, love, love KT fabric.
ReplyDeleteWould love to have YOUR scraps!
ReplyDeleteA KT scrap bag would be just the thing to round out my Moda Shuffle!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new Christmas line & the finished Goose sampler. It is something to look forward to in the new year!
ReplyDeleteYour new Christmas line is marvelous- it's so inviting. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteStrips of flying geese always look awesome in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new quilter so I don't have a stash for fun little projects. I'd love to get a head start.
ReplyDeleteI love samplers and this looks like its going to be a fun one! I can't believe we're already thinking about NEXT Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove the sampler sneak peak. Thanks for a chance at getting some of your scraps. I love scrap quilts.
ReplyDeleteAnother one for my "to do" list, your little JOY quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAny goose pattern is a fun pattern. Can't wait to see your versions!! Happy new year!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right who wouldn't want to not only unwrap, but make the two new patterns you showed. Happy New Year to all.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a bright and happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWow! Could I ever use more scraps! I make a lot of scrap quilts for both family and charity and love having lots of variety. This collection would be great!
