I love a sampler quilt, and in this quilt called Simply Charming, I combined two of my loves...sampler blocks and stars! Each sawtooth star block has a different sampler block in the center for some very fun piecing!
Notice how your eyes are dancing around the quilt? Do you find yourself looking at the centers of each star, and all the warm, lovely colors and prints in the fabrics? You and I can thank my pal Lynne Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilters for the beautiful fabrics as I used a bunch of KT charm squares to make everything but the last border in the quilt. Fun with color play, stars, and sampler blocks....you'll no doubt have a lot of fun piecing this quilt for yourself!
And, just in case you'd like to buy a kit, using a variety of Kansas Troubles fabrics, you can!! Just call Jaime at KT Bernina and Quilts (785) 488-2120.
The fall issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects is available now at your local quilt shop and has 14 more wonderful fall projects to welcome the changing season. AND.....
I have three extra issues of the magazine that are lonely and need a good home, so...leave me a comment about the end of summer and beginning of fall, and what you will be working on in the next few months. Post your comment and I'll choose winners on Sunday.
We've got to keep our sewing machine and hand piecing needles busy and happy!
My daughter just moved into a new home and I want to make a lap quilt as a house-warming gift for her. She prefers modern quilts more than the ones that I like, but I'm happy to do just what she wants.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt and it is made with KT fabric! I would to win a copy of the Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine.
ReplyDeleteI am making an adaptation of your quilt right now. I have 4 of the 5 blocks done. Instead of a star I am doing a shoo fly and then your center blocks. This one is not for me, but I will do again with the stars for me. I love it... And I do not need a magazine I subscribe.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Whoops I meant I have 4 of the 9 blocks done.
ReplyDeleteI have this magazine, lovely! I love that pattern and Kansas troubles fabric are my fav!
ReplyDeleteI have just finished a fall table runner displaying Sandy Gervais "Perfectly Seasoned" and I just love it. Can't wait to see it on my table. Will try to get that magazine, have lots of KT fabrics waiting.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt! And what perfect fabric for it. As summer is heading into its final month, I'm quilting like crazy, trying to work through a rather large pile of tops. I may save the binding for cooler weather. What better way to cozy up than with a quilt in your lap! thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt, Pam. I have some beautiful KT fabrics just waiting for this quilt--love the sampler within the stars!
ReplyDeleteI am churning out the minis and trying to gear up to sash some star blocks that have been on my design wall most of the year! Then there is the Fox quilt for my granddaughter's birthday, and my youngest son's college graduation T-shirt quilt waiting for my attention. : )
I am working on your Prairie Gathering Quilt, and I just love it. Will be picking up the next section on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first learned to quilt KT was the first I ever bought, been a fan ever since. Right now I am done with summer, has been way to hot for the NW--103 today. Fall please hurry.
ReplyDeleteLove that quilt and magazine. As summer is winding down (the kids are back in school next week), I need to get back to work on some Christmas projects. A lot to do and only a few months left to do it. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI am working on My Favourite Things Quilt and planning a table topper for the fall. Your quilt is lovely. Thank you for the chance to win a copy of the magazine. It's one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt as well as the magazine! Would love to have one of those 3 lonely copies make its' way to my house so I could make your quilt. I've just pulled out all of my gold, orange and brown scraps and plan to make a fall lap quilt with them. That way I'll be ready for the cooler weather. Thanks so much for doing this giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get a copy of the magazine for the Simply Charming pattern. Here in the desert SW we are looking forward to cooler weather. My quilt guild had a sewing day today to launch our annual Christmas stocking charity project. We try hard to sew lots in the summer months when it is too hot to be outside and use the fall months to anticipate cooler temperatures and prepare to return to outdoor activities.
ReplyDeleteCute quilt! I have one lap quilt and four wall hangings pinned and ready to go. I would be happy to give one of those poor lonely magazines a good home...it would get lots of love and attention. hehehe
ReplyDeleteLove the different centersof those stars. I have been sewing a LOT as it is SO hot and humid. I hope to end my summer by quilting some of the many, many tops that are waiting. That includes the larger of one made in one of your sewalongs. Then, this fall, I can rewRd myself with some new de stashing projects! Love scrappies- and making room for new fabric!
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble believing its almost time for kids to go back to school already :( BUT I love love love your pattern. I am a huge fan of samplers yours is right at the top of my list !! Thanks so much for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI am ready for hot summer to be over and cooler fall weather to get here. Fall is my favorite time of year.
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about the end of summer, the year goes by so quickly! But, I love fall, my favorite time of year! The summers are hot where I live so fall is also a welcome respite from the heat! I would love a copy of Primitive Quilts magazine and congrats on your lovely quilt gracing this issue!
ReplyDeleteI'll be deep cleaning after all the summer company then finish up some Christmas quilts this fall for gift giving to those who were my summer company :)
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher, the end of summer -beginning of fall leaves little quilting time for me :( but I do use this time to plan and gather fabrics for any free sewing time I can glean out of a busy school year !
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite season! I am working on the QUALITY of my quilt work. I am looking forward to another of your Friday mystery blocks that I can focus on making more and more quality pieces that last a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteAlways love your work and KT fabrics. Working on many projects. Baby quilt from a workshop, a new quilt for my bed, and archival ufo. Jobs get in the way but hope to get to a retreat with no distractions.
ReplyDeleteI am finishing up a string quilt...trying to use up "scrappy strings". But, I am anxious to start on your small red quilts. I have the fabric and the patterns all ready to go!
ReplyDeleteI'll be working on a baby quilt for Grandson #5. Would love a copy. Thanks for a chance...
ReplyDeleteI will be sewing a quilt for my son. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine.

It is a beautiful quilt Pam! I'll be working on a wool applique piece by Jan Mott called Seaside. Thank you for a chance to win
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt! I am finishing up quilts to enter in two local shows in August and October and working on my EPP carry along project as well as making a few wool applique pincushions. Thanks for the giveaway chance!
ReplyDeleteI'll be working at recovery as I have surgery in two weeks and won't be able to quilt for six weeks!
ReplyDeleteOooo....this is a busy time of year! I'll be working on settling the kids back in at school, gearing up for autumn yard work, and enjoying the change of seasons. In the studio, I need to quilt several quilts and finish up several more UFOs.
ReplyDeleteAujourd'hui, c'est mon anniversaire, ce serait un très beau cadeau à cet occasion.
ReplyDeleteJ'aimerais participer à ce tirage au sort, merci
Lovely quilt! I'm working on getting a quilt quilted for my guild's QS in Sept. Plus I'm trying to find a quilt top that I want to enter in the show. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been sewing much this summer but I am going to be a new grandmother in November so I will definitely be sewing a quilt for my grandson.
ReplyDeleteI love your star quilt especially since you used Kansas Trouble fabrics. I plan on making a Minnie Mouse quilt for my granddaughter for Christmas and I would like to make a Christmas quilt for myself.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to catching up on some UFO's that I put aside in order to work on Advent Vestments (Chasuble and stole)
ReplyDeleteI will be working on Christmas Gifts for family from now until Christmas. Love doing Christmas sewing. Thank you for this super great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHave a super great sewing and stitching!
How time flies! I need to get started on a Christmas wool project for my sis! Also, would like to finish a quilt I started - has pumpkins and gourds - love it because fall/winter are my favorite seasons! Thanks for doing a give away
ReplyDeleteWow, I just don't know where the summer (if we had one) went. We had more rain and a nasty tornado in my town than every before! So right now I'm working on Christmas gifts and hoping to get a group together to work on pillowcases for the displaced children in our town! Lots to do before I even think about the snow flying! Laura V.
ReplyDeleteI do love fall, but I wish summer would go on for forever. I love to spend time outside in the summer, I love gardening, I love having the windows open so the summer breeze can come in. Autumn is lovely, but it starts to get chilly, and I prefer the summer temperatures. Btw, your sampler quilt is lovely. 😊
ReplyDeleteMy son is getting married in August and we just put our house up for sale! Once life settles down I will machine quilt a couple of wall hangings before starting something new! I like your Simply Charming projects...what's not to love about stars and patchwork blocks!
ReplyDeleteI am working on taming my scraps. Cute quilt.
ReplyDeletePam, I love your quilts! I just finished up a round robin with my guild, have cleaned up my sewing room, re folded fabric and am ready to go again! I have several projects to finish, and endless ones I want to start. What a delicious dilemma! We're enjoying a weekend at the lake. Once fall comes, I'll spend less time gardening, which more time for quilting!
ReplyDeleteHi happy to be working on a charity quilt this week! So far nice weather here in the Rocky Mts so we have enjoyed our summer so much! Looking forward to autumn too, the aspens will be brilliant as we feel the crisp cooler air! Thanks for sharing! msstitcher1214@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteGorgeous design. I fell in love as soon as I saw it. I have yards & yards of KT fabric and yours. Just need to find the time. Keep those awesome projects coming!
ReplyDeleteLove your designs and Lynn's (met her earlier this year and laughed myself silly when I found out her piecing secret!) Her fabrics go very well with your style of design and quilt making! You girls keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE this design! I will be working this fall on completing a birthday quilt for my (newly teenaged) grandson, a hand-pieced wallhanging for myself, and hand-quilting a queen-sized quilt. Think I'll finish in 2015? (ha ha!) mjkonkel@tds.net
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite time of year, but it took me a long time to figure it out. ; ) Not until I was out of school and settled into a career, did I realize it. Now years later, at summer's mid-point, I know it's time to start getting ready for cooler weather. Time to order firewood, and get the woodstove chimney cleaned. Time to go thru fall clothes and decide if it's time to replace anything. In cooler weather, I can look forward to having a quilt on my lap to finish the binding by hand.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of your quilts and fabrics, as well as Lynne's KT fabrics, so would love to win a copy of the magazine.
Best - Jeanne
PS - Hah! Should probably update my webpage. LOL
