Mix It Up Blog Hop

KT Winner

Congratulations to:
kupton52 - I love your little quilt----what a great place to put my quilt pins I used to collect but have never displayed them! I have not used the cake mix papers. My local quilt shop (I live in the boonies and it is 45 minutes away) does not carry them....but I would LOVE to try them. Thanks for a chance to win. Fingers crossed!
You're the lucky winner of a Mix It Up book, Cake Mix papers, a KT Through the Years Layer Cake and a coordinating Bella Solid Layer Cake. Please reply with your shipping address and we'll send your goodies right out.

Thanks to everyone who commented. Sounds to me there are lots of interested future bakers out there! If you don't win some Cake Mix or Cupcake Mix papers this week, give them a try.

Mix It Up Giveaway

Moda/Martingale Blog Hop and Giveaway

Do you love cake? I know, silly question. But have you tried Moda's Cake and Cupcake Mix Papers to create perfect half square triangles? A whole different kind of recipe, but one that makes "baking" a quilt much easier.

I was skeptical at first, having tried numerous other triangle papers and not loving them. After being coerced asked to participate in this book, I really enjoyed working with Moda's Cupcake Mix papers along with a charm pack. The papers are easy to stitch through and easy to peel off. The result is a perfect half square triangle block with no trimming. That's my kind of baking.

Here's my little quilt, Pin Me, using just one Cupcake Mix pack and a KT charm pack.


There are more than a dozen creative, wonderful projects in this book featuring Moda's Cake Mix papers using Layer Cakes, and Cupcake Mix papers with charm packs. So easy and fun!

Would you like to try one of the recipes in Mix It Up? Comment here to win a KT Through the Years Layer Cake (my newest fabric line not available until March 2020), a Bella Solid Layer Cake, a pack of Cake Mix papers #2, and, of course, the Mix It Up book. What a grand prize! Thanks to Moda and Martingale for these great giveaways.



Comment here by Friday, November 8th at midnight to win. I'll post the winner on Saturday.

For more chances to win, check in with the other designers who contributed to this delightful book all week. Good luck and happy baking!

KT Winner & Blog Hop

KT Winner

Congratulations to Marie! You've won a pumpkin pillow kit.

marie - Brilliant idea, would love to win, but just in case am going to big lots to see if they have any. Over the years I've passed my fall decorations on to the kids, only kept a few special pieces. 
 
Good luck at Big Lots. The pumpkin placemats sold out quickly in our area. Hope to find a Christmas placemat that will work for a pillow topper, too. Let me know if you find something fun. What a quick and easy gift idea.

KT November Special

Milestones

My new Milestones fabric collection has arrived! I'm delighted with the assortment of floral, leaf and geometric prints in the warm KT colors of fall. I even threw in my plum/purple along with pumpkin this season, just for fun. This line blends beautifully with KT Favorites III - and all KT fabrics - to create my new 20 Years of KTQ Block-of-the-Month quilt. It features 20 blocks to celebrate 20 years of KT fabric with Moda. I hope you're joining us when the fun kicks off in January with Blocks #1 and #2. Check with your local quilt shop to sign up, then join our Facebook group to follow along for tips along the way.

20 Years of KTQ BOM (118"sq.)
I chose a few of my favorite blocks to make bonus projects to go along with the 20 Years quilt. There's the Bee-you-ti-full runner using the sunflower block...
Bee-you-ti-full
 a blue and white delight with my 20 Plus lap quilt...
20 Plus
 and a trio of fun little projects featuring the basket block for a pillow topper, three 4-Square blocks for a pillow sleeve, and a few mini spools to make an adorable pincushion.

A Few Little Extras
 All of these patterns are included in the 20 Years of KTQ instruction pack, or are sold separately. Available at your local quilt shop now.

Woven Dreams

Our KT November Special is the Woven Dreams lap kit. The traditionally pieced ribbon star block is a new favorite of mine. If you participated in Blockheads II, you might remember I used it as one of my blocks. Since then, I've simplified it with fewer seams - still piecing it traditionally - for a flatter, easier block. Woven Dreams features a Milestones Jelly Roll to make a 60" x 74" lap quilt.

Our Woven Dreams Kit includes a Milestones Jelly Roll plus all fabric for quilt top & binding 
and pattern in a beautiful Moda box (see below - limited quantities). 
Retail $109.95. Our special price is $95 with FREE shipping.
