KT&Friends Retreat 2023

We're so excited to announce our 2023 KT&Friends Retreat! 

Our Guest Designer this year is Deb Strain with Saltbox Designs. I love her whimsical panels and bee-themed prints. She'll share one of her newest bee collections with us in an embroidery pincushion/sachet workshop plus, a very informative trunk show/demo of how she hand paints her designs. This is one talented lady you don't want to miss!

Layered Patchwork and raw edge designs are popping up all over the quilting world these days. I'm going to share my original technique (with a traditional piecing option) featuring KT precuts by Moda. We're planning projects that can be completed or almost completed at the retreat for fewer UFO's on your list.

Find and print the brochure, above, HERE. Share with friends.

KT March Special

 Crocus Charm Kit

We're loving our newest line, Clover Blossom Farm, and want to share one of the fun projects with you this month. Crocus (28"sq) features 2 Clover Blossom Farm charm packs with everything you need to complete the quilt, including the backing and pattern, plus Free Shipping. That's a retail value of more than $75 (with shipping) for only $55.95! You'll save more than 25% on this cute addition to your spring home decor.

I enjoyed playing with a simple log cabin block to create a unique blooming flower with lots of "charm". The secondary pinwheel pattern adds extra visual interest. Easy traditional piecing.

Crocus Charm Quilt

Clover Blossom Farm 

I challenge myself to create a charm quilt for each fabric collection based on the theme of the line. After designing the Clover Blossom Farm, it was fun to play with the flower blocks based on classic log cabins. Easy traditional piecing with a twist makes each block bloom. 

 

Crocus features two Clover Blossom Farm charm packs and a few fabrics to make a 28" table topper or wall quilt for your spring home refresh.

Gramma Ethel's Garden

I enjoyed working in the garden with my Gramma as a child. I not only learned the difference between a radish leaf and a weed, but also the rewards of hard work in the form of fresh strawberries and vegetables. She's the woman who nurtured my creative spirit and encouraged messes in the process. Her collection of buttons, trims and fabric scraps was fascinating to me. We would spend a whole morning selecting the perfect fabric and trims for Barbie clothes, then sewed them by hand. It was a special time spent with a special lady. She passed away in my early twenties before I started quilting, but I'm sure she's rooting me on from her garden in Heaven.

My quilt, Gramma Ethel's Garden, is in appreciation of her unconditional love and support throughout my life. The simple-to-piece blocks create a garden of blooms in prim rows, just like her garden from my childhood memories. Do you have a special memory of a Grandmother?

Clover Blossom Farm is HERE!

I'm loving the projects for Clover Blossom Farm. My latest line is full of classic KT colors - reds, greens, blues, golds and tans -  including pumpkins, purples and blacks. It's a great mix for spring or fall quilts.

 

The featured quilt is Clover Blossom Farm, offered by Moda in a boxed kit. We've got it, you'll want it! Find the boxed kit HERE.

Clover Blossom Farm Lap 78x78

We're also offering a king size option (100" square) on our website. By adding borders to the 78" square lap quilt, you have a king size quilt without any additional piecing.

Let's Catch Up!

Thanks for all of your kind words of support over these past few weeks when everything hit the fan at the same time. To update, Robert fell on the ice the day after Christmas and broke 4 ribs. With a severed cold/cough, he was miserable. He was out of commission for almost 2 weeks before starting back to work part time, but is much better now. The store is open and orders are shipping on time. On Dec. 28th, my Mom had a stroke and was hospitalized. She's now in a nursing home, recuperating and getting stronger each day. I was stretched pretty thin for a while helping Robert get around, getting Mom settled in and taking care of our 14 mo-old grandaughter several days/nights a week. Whew! It's all much better now, so I can continue to catch up with KTQ. 

This week, several hundred shipments went out the door for our KitToQuilt Mystery Club quilt, Flurries, and our new Make It Mini Club. 

Flurries is our February project celebrating snow days and winter fun. Join us every other month for only $30+$5 ship (retail value $40-50). Patterns and kits are available a couple months after our club shipment for $40. Check out our website under KitToQuilt for past projects.

This is our first in the Make It Mini series, which replaces our longtime KT Collector's Club. Each time a new KT fabric collections is released, I'll design a unique project featuring mini charm packs. You'll receive everything you need for only $30+$5 ship ($40 value). 

Tulips in Clover is an adorable pillow guaranteed to bring a little springtime into your home using a Clover Blossom Farm mini charm and fusible applique. It was first featured in Moda's Piece catalog last summer when our "model" was only 6 months old!
 

I've collected mini charms for years and am so excited to design fun new projects using them. I hope you'll join me!

Watch for the KT February Special soon!
