I LOVE September! And this year, I love September even more than usual! There are lots of great things happening and I can hardly wait to share them with you. The biggest news is that I am very excited and honored to be the
Aurifil Designer of the month for September!
Wow! I can still hardly believe it, really. Pat Sloan (the queen of all things quilting!) asked me to be an Aurifil BOM designer last year and I’ve been eagerly anticipating my turn — especially when there have been so many awesome designers already this year! Check them out by clicking HERE. For my block I designed a fun pieced star variation using Pat Bravo’s “Rock and Romance” fabric line from ArtGallery. All the designers were challenged to create a pieced block inspired by classic rock and for me, that was Electric Light Orchestra — ELO — from the 80’s. In particular, my favorite song was Mr. Blue Sky. (Remember that one?) If you want to bounce along to a blast from the past, click HERE. ( I don’t think there’s anyone who could be in a gloomy mood after hearing that song.….)
And just look how gorgeous the blocks look for 2013 already!
So without further ado, click HERE and HERE to read Pat’s interview with me. I really opened up and shared some fun and quirky things I hope you’ll enjoy finding out about! You’ll get to see my very first quilt (never before seen, and quite possibly never, ever to be seen in public again….) You’ll get to see a very spiffy leisure suit I made (and for which I won a blue ribbon in 1975) when I was 12 years old, plus I think you might be surprised to find out what my favorite passion is other than quilting. I shared LOTS of photos plus you’ll get to download the instructions for making your “Mr. Blue Sky” Aurifil BOM, along with the previous 8 blocks!
Giveaway Alert!
The best news is that Aurifil has graciously offered to host a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S thread giveaway in honor of my being the September Designer of the month! (THANK YOU, AURIFIL!!!) All you need to do is leave a comment here on the blog and tell me what color I think is the “new neutral”! (Hint: You’ll find the name of the color somewhere in my answers to the interview questions.) Or, simply share what surprised you the most about me after reading the interview. We’ll have a drawing on September 9th, which is another reason why I love September so much. September 9th is my birthday! (Woo hoo!) And this year, I’m celebrating a milestone birthday, so it is extra special! Can you guess which one?
In other newsy news…..
You may or may not have heard but my studio is featured in the current (Fall 2013) issue of Studios Magazine! Oh my goodness…this is just beyond thrilling and such an honor for me! You can find it in stores like JoAnns, online, and other newsstands right now. For a peek inside my studio, click HERE and HERE to see the transformation.
A very special quilting retreat workshop!
And last but certainly not least, I’m very excited about a special event coming up soon. Best of all, its not too late for YOU to join me for an exclusive, three day retreat at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, KY! That’s right — if you want to get away from it all, escape the late-summer chaos at home, or enjoy some R & R (recharge and rejuvenation) quilting time, there are still a couple of openings left in my workshop. I’ll be teaching a fun, precision-pieced, modern sampler quilt where I’ll teach you absolutely every trick in the book for using precuts! And don’t worry — there is absolutely NO homework or advance preparation involved. (How great is that?) All you need to do is bring 1 Jelly Roll and 1 matching Layer Cake plus 4 yards background fabric and you’ll make this quilt in your favorite fabrics and colors!
For more information, click HERE.
If you can’t join me in Paducah in September, why not plan a trip to the Tetons and visit me in October at:
The Jackson Hole Quilt Festival!
That’s right — there’s simply no prettier time of year in Jackson Hole than early October. I’ll be teaching 4 of my most popular (and favorite!) classes and you’ll have a grand time enjoying the outstanding weather and scenery in between quilting, making new friends, and immersing yourself in all-things quilting. Seriously, it is going to be such a great time! In fact, I’ll be spending my 25th wedding anniversary there in Jackson Hole with the quilters while my sweet hubby holds down the fort back here at home. (What a fantastic guy — he’s a keeper, I tell ‘ya!) For more information and all the details, click HERE.
So, that’s the recap for the beginning of what will be a glorious month ahead. I hope you are all as excited about September as I am! I’ve got lots more to share with you in the coming weeks.
Woo hoo!!! September is here, so bring on the changing leaves, cooler temperatures, lots more quilting, and all good things!
Chartreuse is the new neutral. My favorite color combination is blue and white. I enjoyed seeing your blue and white sampler quilt!

Happy Birthday!
The new neutral is Chartreuse and I think I like that idea!
Happy birhday KImberly! Your new neutral is chartreuse. My next project is to do your block. I have done all the BOMs this year, it’s so fun! Many greetings from Finland, I hope the give-away is not only for USA citizens?
Yes, happy early birthday wishes! As for the new Neutral – it’s Chartreuse. Thanks so much – I enjoyed reading your interview and seeing your sewn projects!
Chartreuse is the new neutral! My 6 year old daughter agrees – in fact, she spent an hour this weekend describing all the properties and uses for the color chartreuse to her American Girl doll this weekend. Honest! That kid has a great eye for color 🙂
Wow!!! Love the new neutral Chartreuse and would love to be your winner and add it to my thread stash. Awesome block and your sewing studio is any girls dream. Hope you have a super birthday and get to spend it with your family and friends.
Chartreuse! I love your Aurufil September block. Would love to be in your Paducah class.
You believe chartreuse is the new neutral! And here I had to google chartreuse to see what color it is 😉
I think the new neutral is red. it goes with everything, including slime green chartreuse!
VERY funny, Stevii!
I hope you have a wonderful birthday! The new neutral is Chartreuse and I just wanted to say that your studio is amazing. It looks very inviting and a great space to work in 🙂
Enjoyed reading your interview and listening to “Mr. Blue Sky.’ Your new neutral is chartreuse. That is a color that I am starting to appreciate (Made a batik purse recently with primarily blues and turquoise and found that the chartreuse fabric really set it off, much to my surprise and I really like it!)
Hope you have a very Happy Birthday! (It will be easy for me to remember as that was my mother’s birthday also)
Do you like teaching for Craftsy? I would love to teach for Craftsy. You certainly are a busy girl. Thanks for sharing.
Love your works of art, simply beautiful.
The new neutral is chartreuse. Love it! How fabulous that you play the organ! Hope you can keep it up wherever your travels take you. I love the underwater shots!
Hope you have a great birthday, Kimberly! Your new neutral is chartreuse. I’m loving that color as well as bright turquoise. There is a two color quilt, in the American Patchwork and Quilting 2013 calendar for the month of August, that uses chartreuse for the star-like design and white for the background. It is so pretty and bright. It’s on my list of quilts to make. Love the beautiful colors in the Aurifil thread giveaway.
Best wishes Kimberly! Hope your birthday is filled with more wonderful memory making! I’m guessing your 50th based on your comment about college in the 80’s. Love your blocks – I’m especially fond of your blue and white quilt – blue is my favorite color too – any shade!!! New neutral as Chartreuse – great idea – we all need more color!!!
Your new neutral is chartreuse! Love it and happy birthday!
Chartreuse being the new neutral is fabulous!! I have a friend who has maintained that is so for the last 10 years, she is going to be ecstatic when I tell her. ;0)
Chartreuse is the new neutral, and that is a good-looking color!
Hi, Kimberly! I want to come to ALL your events, but that just isn’t practical (the darn job that pays for my hobby somehow expects me to spend time here, oddly enough). I love that Aurifil collection, and I love Pat Sloan’s designs, as well as yours. And I think Chartreuse is a brilliant new neutral! So cheerful! That Jackson Hole retreat sounds amazing, and the quilt is beautiful. Do you ever sleep? You’re EVERYWHERE these days!
Thanks, Emily! As I keep telling my husband, sleep is over-rated! LOL!
your new neutral is chartreuse. I think I might have to get some and try it out. I was surprised to see the part about scuba diving. That sounds like so much fun. Hope you have a wonderful birthday.
The new neutral is Chartreuse – beautiful!!
I believe you called chartreuse the new neutral. Which, I quite agree. It was a fun article to read! Diving with the family looks like a lot of fun!
Chartreuse is your neutral color. I’ve often thought it was a good neutral because it oes with almost all other colors.
I bet you also liked the “green apple” Jolly Rancher hard candy back in the day. Now that’s chartreuse!
The new neutral is chartreuse 🙂 it’s one I wouldn’t have though of. I enjoyed the interview and its so neat that you scuba dive with your family. Thanks!
Ps your studio is amazing!!
Chartreuse = neutral
I would love to win your giveaway of thread. I am still enjoying my pastime of piecing and quilting (at age 88), but I am not able to go shopping often for the goods I want. I enjoy your designs very much,
Love and blessings, Wanda Atwell
I love that Chartreuse is the new neutral. Always love that pop of color. Great article. Would love to come to Paducah. I’ll look into it.
You have done an amazing job creating the Aurifil September block of the month. We all want fabric to add to our stash;however, we must now forget about the thread. God, I would be doing the Happy Dance for a long time if I were your winner. Oh yes, Chartreuse is the new neutral. Great choice in this color. Thank you for the chance to win.
Sandi Timmons
Oooh my hubby hates chartreuse, I think I should get some and try this out, maybe I can convert him
New neutral is Chartreuse. Exciting choice. Thanks for the chance to win.
I believe you told Pat that your new neutral is lime. I think that’s an interesting concept. Thank you for the chance to win aurifil thread box.
You surprised me very much by saying that Chartreuse is your new neutral! It’s definitely making me look at my fabric selections a little differently! Thanks so much for this amazing giveaway!
The new neutral is Chartreuse! I don’t think I’ve used this color in a quilt – yet. Thanks for the awesome giveaway. Linda
Your new neutral is chartreuse.
Chartreuse? That is my favorite accent color, use it almost everywhere – well, not quite, but I try to. Bobbie Molony
Happy Fiftieth Birthday to you!! I was surprised to learn that you enjoy scuba diving! My husband and I are also travelers. We are going this month a cruise through the Panama Canal. We love cruising but I don’t care to combine it with quilting. I prefer to enjoy the traveling aspect. Then when I quilt, I concentrate on just that, and I LOVE retreats!
Love the block! Always enjoy your work. Wish I could come to the retreat — one day.
Chartreuse is your new neutral. It reminds me of my first car, which was a chartreuse mustang, nicknamed the “glow worm”. Happy birthday, I wouldn’t dare guess which milestone.
Chartreuse !! I love it. Seriously I am doing a quilt right now using a green that could qualify. ..My birthday is in September also. Winning some fantastic thread would be a great gift.
🙂
Chartreuse! It surprised me that you liked to scuba dive. I guess I think of you slaving away at your machine 24 hours a day. I’m not that brave, though my husband loves to dive. Have a great birthday!!
Chartreuse is the new neutral. I love all the colors! Great giveaway.
The new neutral is chartreuse Love reading your interview. I love doing your Craftsy classes. I feel just like you are in the room with me. Thanks for sharing. Happy birthday.
I can’t spell it without looking it up, but Chartreuse is the winner. I like the combination of lights and darks in your blocks.
Happy Birthday! I believe the milestone birthday is your 50th. Chartreuse is the color you believe is the new neutral.
Chartreuse is the new neutral!!
sure wish i could meet you at the paducah retreat. love that quilt!!
someone along the way had a quilt that the alternate name was, “you know you are in trouble when your neutral is chartreuse!”
Your new neutral is ‘Chartreuse’! (beautiful color, by the way!
Can’t wait to get started on your block; I’ve done all of them this year 🙂 I’m so excited to see what the quilt will look like!
September is my birthday month! I really am a summer person, but when fall rolls around I am ready for the warm colors, and pumpkin spice lattes! Your blog inspires me to no end. Thank you for sharing!
Chartreuse is the new neutral! I loved the interview Kimberly. It’s really crazy…every time I read Facebook you are doing something new…another magazine, interview, your 5th book! WOW! No wonder you take the quilt cruises just to take time to relax! Loving the new studio. Congrats on all the fantastic things you are doing. It has been your year!
Thanks, Debbie!
You love blues, Chartreuse is the new neutral, and you love SCUBA diving. Great interview! I look forward to making your block. Happy 50th Birthday, too! Have a great month, and year! Thanks.
Chartreuse is the “new neutral” – I love the way you think!! I would love, love, love to win the thread pack!!

Chartreuse! Thanks for the chance to win! I LOVE aurifil! Can’t wait to get working on your block!
I never thought of Chartreuse as a neutral, but you’ve given me a whole new perspective! I enjoyed your interview and your scuba pictures! Happy birthday!
First of all, Happy Early Birthday! Chartreuse is the new neutral.
The new neutral is Chartreuse and have a Happy 50th Birthday. Never tried Aurifil yet but my girl friend does and she loves it. I am thinking of buy some to try. Libby
Your new neutral is Chartreuse! Thank you for a chance to win!

Pre-Birthday wishes for the 9th, hope you spend it doing what you love most!! Thanks for the chance to win Aurifil thread, its to die for!!
I think chartreuse is a great neutral! I love the combo of blue, green and purple……chartreuse would look awesome mixed in. I have not tried Aurifil threads yet and really want to. Happy Birthday from another September baby…mine is today! Thank you for sharing!
I love the thread set. It is so wonderful to sew. Are you turning 50? Welcome to the red hat society!
It was fun reading your interview with Pat Sloan. My husband was in the Air Force too ~ for 23 years, but we didn’t travel and move quite as much as you! Yes, Chartreuse is the new neutral and I believe it. Green is constantly being touted as the new neutral in clothing, so obviously why not thread and fabric?! Great, as green is my favorite color! See you at Craftsy!!
Most surprised to see that you scuba dive but fits perfectly with your 3 current favorite colors.
Chartreuse is the new neutral!
Chartreuse is the new neutral! It definitely goes with everything! Happy birthday from one September gal to another!
Happy 50th Bithday- we share the same day. Awesome.
Chartreuse is the new neutral color. Aurifil thread is my favorite. Love them
I hope i’m bless a wonderful gift it would, be.
Thanks Bobbie.
Chartreuse is the new neutral. I’m with you–I’m definitely a fan of the yellow-greens! Happy birthday–one day before my grand daughter! Aurifil thread is wonderful–I’d love to win!
I just love the colors, how could you not?
Sew many possibilities
You’ve been one very busy lady….and seriously is Aurifil just the bestest thread ever….
Lovely studio!! Enjoyed the interview and pictures. And have a Happy B-day!!!!
Chartreuse is the new neutral. Have a wonderful September 9th birthday!
The new neutral is Chartreuse. I SO enjoyed your interview with Pat Sloan. It’s interesting to see how all of your life experiences & education have culminated into one wonderful, delightful, talented lady. You are AMAZING! After listening to ELO, I bet you love TSO. We go to their Christmas Concert every year at the Toyota Center in Houston. Hope you have a wonderful birthday too!
ELO?? I thought DH and I were the only “flashback” lovers..haha
Great interview with Pat. It’s always interesting to hear how careers/interests/passions came into being.
LOVE Aurifil!!! My Janome will sew with anything but my favorite is Aurifil. It doesn’t “shed” as much. I have to order it because it’s hard to find where I live.
I think your new neutral is chartreuse. Not a “neutral” I’d pick but it would depend on the quilt.
BTW…Happy upcoming Birthday 🙂
Wonderful studio – and I do think and create more in tidy and organized surroundings, as well! Your ‘new neutral’ is chartreuse – I will have to try it out as a pizzazz-giving element in a future quilt 🙂 and thank you for this lovely giveaway!
Beautiful block!
Happy birthday! Chartreuse is the “new neutral!”
Chartreuse is the new neutral. I love that color and have used it as a background for several quilts. Love Aurifil threads, they are my favorite thread.
Happy Birthday and many more. The new neutral is chartreuse, and i”m with you on that.
I love working with aufil thread only thread I use quilting. Would love to win this selection.
Charttreuse is the new neutral! I’ve been a green family fan for a long time. I think you will. I will be 61 in November. I’m a retired 5th grade teacher of Philadelphia, PA. I love the ‘free’ time I now have to create. I love your website and fun tips and ideas.
Chartreuse is the new neutral! You look so familiar! Trying to figure out where I know you from?
Happy Birthday!!! Enjoyed reading your interview and love that you’ve chosen Chartreuse as a new neutral and thanks for the sweet giveaway 🙂
Have to admit…don’t think I have any fabric that is the new neutral…chartreuse. Guess I’ll have to work it into my next project. Thanks for the giveaway and Happy Birthday!!!
The new neutral is Chartreuse.
Chartreuse! Love the block pattern. I really like the blue star quilt. Happy B’Day!
Chartreuse… funny how something so bright and bold can be a neutral.
Happy Birthday and Congratulations on making it this far in life and marriage! I could guess your age milestone, but I won’t. I am past it and don’t like to be reminded.
You say the new neutral is chartreuse.
Chartreuse is the new neutral. I love the blue and white sampler quilt. My favorite colors are blue and green with green being my favorite since I was little. No pink, red or purple for this girl!
Chartreuse is the new neutral. Happy Birthday…the big FIVE-OH! Remember you’re only as old as you feel :~) I love the blue and white quilt…beautiful. Love the Aurafill threads…the best ever!
well it wasn’t hard to find the new neutral color as called chartreuse, but I am still a fan of piecing with the soft gray. picking and we all do it is easier with that color and it does not show through any other color fabric. NOW that said I am going to wish you a 50th B day only from the clue that you are celebrating the 25th anniversary. And 45 isn’t really a milestone.. LOL have a great B-day. I will look forward to watching more classes & tutorials. Let’s win that thread box. yippee for the chance.
Chartreuse is the new neutral!. It pops!
I will guess it as chartreuse. Thank you for the giveaway.

The new neutral is chartreuse. Love your thinking! 🙂 Would love to try out this thread on some upcoming quilt projects. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Chartreuse Is your ‘New Neutral”.
Happy Birthday. Love your sewing studio. That room is my dream.
I agree, that blue & white quilt is gorgeous, love the triangle quilting too.
Love the thread! How fun! Love learning how to make new quilt blocks. Pretty, pretty!
Happy Birthday! Will it be your 50th?
Chartreuse is the new neutral! You have shown hard work pays off! One day I want to get to a sewing cruise. Thank you for the chance
I have just started quilting and am finding the thread is very important! I think the colors are fantastic! I believe the color that you are hinting at is Sky Blue!.
Happy Birthdaaaaay, May you have many many more!!!!!! I love the thread collection!
Chartreuse is the new neutral. Wow! Very bold. I think SCUBA diving would be very inspirational for designing. I love your Craftsy classes. I am still working on my French “rooster” quilt but love that I still have access to your instruction. (I am saving your Mystery Quilt class as an incentive to finish the first quilt!)
Happy, happy birthday. Let’s see…you must have married at age 8, right?
Kathleen
Love this block and Aurifil thread! Stars are always a good theme for celebrating anything, so I hope you have a great birthday. I think I’ll use a few of this block to make a table runner for my Communities in Schools silent auction donation. Thanks!
Your neutral is Chartreuse. I’d love to win this thread. I’ve been wanting to try Aurifil but no shops here sell it. 🙁
chartreuse. I never would of thought of that color, but yes it works with a lot of colors.
I hope you have a wonderful birthday!! You’re new neutral is chartreuse, which I do love with turquoise and blue!
Happy Birthday Kimberly. I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Chartreuse makes a great neutral. Such a great blender color that works so well to neutralize! Love it!

PS – When are you diving in Hawaii next? We love diving on the Big Island
Wow! We need to talk — so you can tell me all the best dive sites in Hawaii!
I think what surprised me the most was you thinking that Chartreuse is the new neutral. I am also a lover of blue and Chartreuse is not a color I care for at all.
Okay I am still in shock that you use a laser to square-up your quilts!!! How did I miss this vital piece of info?! What an inspired idea – going to have to try that. And I had no idea that you were ever a church organist – you are indeed one multi-talented lady!
Well of course Chartreuse is the new neutral…great color. So often found in nature. I am so happy the thread manufacturers have made thread to match all the beautiful fabric! So glad you have the scuba diving to share with your boys. It’s so great to have a common activity to share with your family. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway! I LOVE Aurifil thread!
Happy Early Bday! Chartreuse is the new neutral. Thanks for the chance to win
New neutral…,,Chartreuse! Always my least liked color. But last year it started to appeal to me and now… I keep buying everything in that color. Your block is a fun one. And I enjoyed the interview very much. What a wonderful life and talent.
Really enjoyed reading your blog. Love the block!
I love your studio! I dream of the day when I have the opportunity to design a studio of my own. And I read that you think chartreuse is a new neutral. Interesting!! It certainly is beautiful with the blues you placed next to it! Happy birthday and thanks for the giveaway!
Happy Birthday! Your blocks are beautiful, always enjoy all the inspiration and I LOVE the thread!
Chartreuse! Ha, and I saw the other answers :). Seriously, I so admire your work and can only dream maybe one day… I am new to quilting and am almost finished with my first!
Chartreuse. Really? I guess I’ll have to give it a try! Thanks for hosting the giveaway, and Happy 29th Birthday! ;->
Oh yeah, chartreuse is the new neutral. I like that idea!
Love the Mr. Blue Sky block, although I have to admit I didn’t remember the song.
Happy Birthday, Kimberly!
Chartreuse is the new neutral! What a great blocks!
Hi, Kimberly! It’s marlyarly from Craftsy. 🙂
You are the one from whom I learned about Aurifil thread, and so many other skills from your Craftsy classes, which are both so great! I love your block of the month, and enjoyed reading your interview too. Wishing you a very happy birthday, and a joyous year ahead, and thank you for sharing your love of quilting and for being such a great teacher!
Your vote is for chartreuse, and you will be exactly 40 ; ) I am so thrilled to see where your career has taken you, and so happy that more and more quilters are able to experience you joy in creating beautiful quilts. You go, girl!! XXOO
Chartreuse. And I think you’re right. It pairs unexpectedly well with so many other colors. And Happy Birthday in advance. Thanks for the great blog!
Chartreuse. Sept 9th was my dad’s birthday too. Have a wonderful birthday.
Chartreuse is the new neutral. Happy birthday tomorrow! I’m just making your beautiful block right now. Greetings from Turid in Norway.
Chartreuse, who knew? Not my favorite but it could work. There are a lot of yarns coming out in that color too.
Chartreuse is the new neutral
The new neutral is royal blue—one of my favorite colors.
Since you are celebrating a milestone birthday, I’m going to guess that your are turning 50. That was just about my only “milestone” birthday (so far). You said that you believe Chartreuse is a ‘new’ neutral. Hope you have a wonderful birthday tomorrow! Thanks for the chance to win!
Chartreuse. And I am glad
Well, I’m sorry to say I’m not a fan of “Mr Blue Sky”. I went to HS and college in the 80’s too and was more of a New Wave girl. I do most certainly agree that in the right amounts, chartreuse can be the new neutral. And from one September birthday girl to another – Happy Birthday! 🙂
I love that Chartreuse is the new neutral!
Loved your Blue and White sampler with the quilting by Judi Madsen. It is beautiful. Say, your sewing room looks fantastic and I would love to have one like that! Hope I can take a class with you sometime.
Oh, and Happy Birthday!!!!!
I would be willing to give chartreuse a try as the new neutral:-)
I would love to try out the chartreuse. Using Aurifil for the first time with the mystery quilt class I am taking that you teach on Craftsy. I tried it out on some trial blocks and cannot believe what I have been missing using this thread. Will only use Aurifil for all my future projects. If I am going to spend a lot of time on a quilt and money, I want to use the best thread.
Kimberly,
I know I missed the give away opportunity, but wanted to say hi. After reading pat sloan’s interview I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. Your studio is wonderful! We have quite a lot in common….I am a Miami grad , just celebrated 25 years of marriage, have moved often….thanks for sharing!
Terri in Texas
Hi Terri! Thanks so much for leaving a comment on my blog! Wow — we DO have so much in common! You were a Miami U grad? (Go Redskins — I mean, RedHAWKS. Although I never did agree with the mascot change….) Congratulations on your 25th anniversary!!! I truly hope our paths cross in person sometime soon!
I know this is past time for the giveaway but I just had to say that I have been a fan for a long time. thanks for the look into your life and your craft!
THANK YOU, Diane!
