Homemade Homespuns by KTQ

Arriving Soon!

We're anxious for the UPS guy to back up the truck and deliver boxes and boxes full of my newest line, Homemade Homespuns. Moda has done it again, making the perfect plaids to blend with all of my other lines of fabric. I've designed several projects featuring these classic KT brushed woven cottons, but feel free to mix them in with prints, too.  They're so soft and cuddly they're my family's favorites. 

Welcome to the Neighborhood features a lap quilt (72"sq. Layer Cake), charm quilt (41"sq.) and a pillow cover for a warm and welcoming addition to your home decor. I enjoyed playing with the plaids and stripes to mix and match for the houses, roofs and windows. Such scrappy fun!

Welcome to the Neighborhood

My Homespun Stars (72"sq. Layer Cake) lap quilt sparkles with clusters of stars in classic KT colors against a muted background. I added brushed homespun backing for the softest quilt ever!

Homespun Stars

Star Crossed uses a Homemade Homespuns charm pack to create this darling little quilt (30"sq) to hang over a cabinet, drape on a bench or tuck in a basket. The geometric interest of the plaids and stripes adds a homey, welcoming feel to your farmhouse decor.

Star Crossed

Speaking of farmhouse decor, what says farmhouse more than pillows. Lots and lots of pillows for added texture, layering and seasonal feels. My pattern, My Thoughts Exactly, spells it out with two options for Breathe or Together. Traditional piecing featuring a Homemade Homespuns charm pack.


My Thoughts Exactly

What do you think? Are you loving these plaids as much as me? The wait is almost over. Homemade Homespuns fabric, patterns and kits are on our website now for preorder. Click on the links under the pictures. We're expecting delivery from Moda in mid-August.

KT&Friends Virtual Retreat

 September 22-23, 2021

We're off to Appleton, WI for our 2nd KT&Friends Retreat this summer. It's always fun to meet new quilters and see old friends. 

If you aren't able to make it to an in-person retreat this year, I'd love for you to join me in September for an online virtual retreat via Facebook Live. We'll make the same quilt, pillow and pincushions as the in-person retreats over two days. I'll also share all the new Homemade Homespun and Hope Blooms quilt with you in a trunk show, just like at the retreats. We'll try to do a Zoom meeting after the tutorials to answer questions and see/meet all of you. 

This year, we're offering EVERYTHING from the in-person retreats, from the welcome bags full of goodies, to the workshop kits and supplies, to the table favors and giveaways. It's a retail value of over $300 (including shipping) for only $224 + free shipping in the continental US. Call the store for shipping overseas or Canada. Ask any of the quilters who have attended our retreats in the past and they'll tell you it's a great deal!

Here are the 2 workshop projects - Prairie Stars (72"sq. lap quilt) and Trellis (18" pillow cover). Also shown is one of the table favors, the Measure Twice pincushion kit. I'd love to show you all the good stuff you'll receive, but I can't since it's still a surprise for our quilters in Appleton. 

Please call the KTQuilt Shop to sign up by August 20th so we can ship to arrive before the retreat. 785-488-2120. Robert, Joy or Lisa will gladly answer questions.

Join me to make our KT&Friends Virtual Retreat a success again this year.
