Hi, I’m Kim Schaefer in Southeastern Wisconsin, where I live with my family. This month my fifth book with C&T Publishing, Cozy Modern Quilts, was released! I have been happily designing patterns for my company, Little Quilt Company, since 1996 and in 2005, I started designing fabrics for Andover Fabrics.
I absolutely love, love, love all my jobs and feel like I am the luckiest person around to be able to do what I love and get paid for it too. I am truly appreciative and very grateful for all the encouragement and support I have received from my fellow quilters over the years.
I am so excited about my new book, Cozy Modern Quilts—it is so different from my previous titles. Although I love appliqué, I wanted to do something totally different for this new book. I’m hoping this title will appeal to both beginning quilters and quilters who prefer piecing.
The book contains a collection of simple pieced projects using only squares and rectangles. It includes placemats, table runners, wall quilts, and lap quilts, many of which are very scrappy and will be great stash busters. Although the techniques used are simple, the results you will achieve are anything but.
To celebrate my new book, I am giving away three sets of six patterns from Little Quilt Company. Here’s a peak at two of them:
To enter to win, click here to browse through all of our patterns. Leave a comment on this blog post by the morning of Monday, November 2nd telling us which pattern is your favorite. We will pick three winners to receive six patterns. Good luck!

I loved your patterns. I was especially interested in the Christmas patterns. I alsways look for whimsical patterns and yours is that.
Thanks
Cathy
I like the Seasonal Table Toppers the best.
Congrats on the new book release. I’m new at quilting, I love the Zoo Parade Collection.
I love, love, love all of your patterns! I am new to quilting in 2009 and enjoy seeing the projects that everyone else is doing!
Chickens #112 was my favorite….I forgot to leave that! I collect chickens and roosters in my kitchen and these would go great!
I love the cover of your new book … I’m interested in moving more toward the ‘modern’ side of quilting. So here’s hoping I win, please throw me into the pot. thanks
As a new grandma I adore the Zoo Parade and the bibs, far too many terrific patterns to choose just one. Congratulations on the new book.
Oh, I love the chickens pattern! It is so cute! Your patterns are adorable.
I am just starting to get in the seasonal spirit and love the two patterns #423 “25 Days “Til Christmas” and #118 “Seasonal Welcomes” best of all. But the Baby Bibs are just adorable also and I know so many people with newborns too!!!
I haven’t done any seasonal crafts for Christmas yet this year! I need to get on that soon :)
The book looks great. I really like the christmas line pattern featured on the blog. Thanks for the giveaway
I like all your patterns but I think the bibs are my favorites! They would be cute on my little grandchild!
I ‘m obsessed with the alphabet. Love lettes, so the ABC sampler is my favorite.
I love the Whimsical Angels #404. I have a rather large collection of Angels so this pattern would go great with my other angels. All the pattern are cute and I would love having any of them.

I love the Santa Family pattern, just so perfect for the upcoming holiday. I give my husband a Santa figure each Christmas, what aperfect complement thes wall hangings would be to his collection.
I like the Nativity pattern best.
I looked through all of the patterns, but the Christmas Lines 422 was my favorite, by far. I have a cute tree with hundreds of little glass ornaments that is crying for this table skirt.
Such very cute patterns. These are the style that I love. There are so many cute ones that I liked. Chickens is cute, and I love the Patched Name Quilts. But I love the Christmas Lines with the little houses. Thanks for a great giveaway.
Congratulasion on the new book. All of your patterns are adorable, but my favorite is the Holly Berry Collection!
I love the Fat Snowmen! :)
Though I have to admit I’d like to try one of the towels patterns, so if I don’t win, I’ll be adding it to my Christmas list!
Alrighty now! I’ve admired your patterns and books before, now i can put a face to the name. Luv ‘em all.
These are great achieable patterns. I did like the calender placemats. Happy days.
First fave is Seasonal Table Toppers, 2nd is Flamingoes. How quirky are they? Gotta love em. I do love the All in a Row and I would love a copy of your book full of patterns. Thank you!
I really like the Everyday Runners and Kitchen Towel patterns. This is a great giveaway & the patterns are fantastic. Thanks!
I like the Holly Berry collection. All of them are great and seem like they would be nice small projects to complete for gifts.
My favorite is the ABC Sampler #123, since I am a retired elementary and middle school teacher!
All your designs are delightful, but Calendar Table Runners, #140 has caught my eye. Absolutely lovely.
I also love the floral blocks on your site banner/logo.

Impossible to pick a favorite! I love Holly Berry, Spooky Hollow, Woven runner and placemat, and Classic Runners, just to name a few!
I like the Hot Pads II, with the seasonal figures. In fact, I bought the pattern…..now if only I can find it in my sewing room!!!
Lots of cute patterns makes it difficult to choose just one. I will pick #124 – Patched Names Quilts.
