I am (very) behind in thanking the wonderful ladies that sent me goodies, so here goes:
I won a give away awhile back on Glenna's blog. She let me choose one of her patterns, and I loved this one because I can make quilts for both my boys and my girl. It's two patterns in one. Thanks Glenna!
Carolyn sent me a package of fabric months ago. Here is just a portion of it. She is my all time most generous fabric supplier. EVER. Thanks dude. ;)
Today at the Post Office I picked up this fabulous package from Frieda. It's a thank you for doing the quilt along. Look at all those delicious fabrics....
and this super sweet pin cushion. Thanks so much Frieda! I love it all.
Katherine sent me a package for my birthday....wonderful vintage fabric....
and this cute embroidered zip pouch, which happens to match my needlebook. It will become my little portable sewing caddy for when I am hand stitching the binding on my quilts. Katherine, it's a joy to use such beautiful and well made gifts from you.
Here is a wonderful assortment of vintage sheets from Lina as a thank you for helping her with some quilting questions. Lina, you've got great taste and thanks for sharing with me!
Erin sent me this adorable moleskin just for sending her some vintage sheet scraps. I have got to be one of her biggest fans. I love everything she makes. The moleskin is almost too nice to use...but I did (aren't you proud of me?) start filling it with ideas. I love it, Erin. Thank you.
Beth and I did a swap a few weeks ago. She sent me a lot of fabulous scraps, including a bunch of pre-cut triangles (!!!) and I sent her some red fabric. Thanks Beth, for such a fun assortment of fabrics.
And last but not least, Jodie sent me this adorable little bird cage for her retrospective give away. It cost a pretty penny to send the little package, but I appreciate it so much. My kids asked if they could have it and I politely declined. Thanks Jodie!
Thanks so much, to each and every one of you very kind and generous ladies!
Now, on to the rest of the reason I am so happy today. My daughter (2 yrs and 4 months) started potty training on her own this week! After almost 8 years of constant diapering in this house (and 2 in diapers at one time for about a year of that) we are seeing the end!!!! YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!There's been a lot of yelling and carrying on (in the best possible way) when she is successful. Good times. Good times.
So in honor of all the good mail and all the potty training excitement I'd like to give away a bundle of fabric. Between my new purchases and my generous friends, I have plenty to share. Leave me a comment stating your favorite color or color combination and I'll put your name in a virtual hat. I'll draw a name on Saturday. And thanks so much for reading my little blog. I appreciate it sooooooooo much.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 259 of 259I love your blog!!! Thanks for sharing all of your mailed gifts. My favorite is green, but I love any color when it comes to fabric.
You're so lucky about the potty training!
Blue and Orange
Best colors evah!
Wow! Seeing all those lovely gifts makes me ever so happy for you, Amandajean. I know firsthand how generous you are, so it seems fitting that you should be getting such great mail too!
Three cheers for the end of diapers! Such a milestone.
I'm so glad I stopped by here to see what's happening before we pack up our computer for the move on Sat. I would love to enter your giveaway and would be delighted to have some pink fabric, please ;o)
I love teal and brown! or pink and brown.
Just think, soon you can skip carrying a diaper bag too...oh the freedom! Congrats, it is a big day. I love all kinds of colors. I love the blue and browns, pink and browns, vintage greens, red, and oranges, and I always have room for buttery yellows.
That birdcage is very cute, you lucky gal you.
I might be too late, but even so CONGRATS on the potty training. My youngest finally mastered it just after her 3rd birthday and I was overjoyed. Of course I own a daycare so I think I will be diapering into the eternities! LOL As for my favorite color/color combination?? Wow, that is SO hard. I just love color. I do really like pinks and reds....maybe some orange too?? LOL I don't know. I just like fabric!
Congratulations on the pottytraining! No diapers is so exciting!
Your quilts are amazing! I love that orange-on-white one. I guess it's no surprise, since my favourite colour is orange!
Congratulations to you and your little one! My favorite combination at the moment is purple/lavender and green.
Congratulations! The only mail I ever receive is my phone bill and bank statement once a month.
My favourite colour combination is anything with white - it always looks so crisp, like black and white, or blue and white. I love white so much I ordered a 15meter bolt of plain white from my local quilt store!
:)
You do such beautiful work! My favorite color now has to be robin's egg blue.
I've got a thing for blues, browns, and whites right now!

Do I have to pick one favorite color? I love yellow, orange, and green. Thanks for the quilt along. I will send a picture when it is quilted. I don't know how you get everything accomplished - but YeaH!!
OH wow, my daughter is also 2 yrs and 4 months! We are living a parallel life - lots of screaming and happiness here too. Your quilts are so inspirational. I'm loving blues and greens right now after seeing your bento box.
I LOVE greens with browns and barn-reds. They look great together, in my own opinion! :)
Once again, LOVE your blog! It's great to see other moms doing things for themselves once in a while; makes me feel less guilty when I want to sew! ;)
Also, great to see another quilter from Wisconsin! Go Badgers!
What great mail! So nice of you to give some fabric away... I'd have to say browns are a favorite, but I also love pink and lately, mustard yellow.
I'm such a girl. Pink is definitely my favorite color, but lately I've been all about the oranges.
I am still loving aqua and red, but enjoying the new trends towards black/white/yellow. Love those brights! Looks like you got a pile of wonderful there. :)
Lisa
good luck with potty training and thanks for sharing your fun!
Ooh that 2-in-1 quilt pattern looks super...I'll have to check that out. As far as color combinations go: it's pink & orange for me lately! Enjoy all those mail goodies and thanks for inspiring!
Thank you so much for the block of the week quilt-along. I really enjoyed it and look forward to another one. If I'm picked, I love greens and oranges.
Red, red, red! Orange, orange, orange!
PS I am so jealous of your potty training. Ours likes to sit on it, but that's it.
I love greens and blues!
I know about potty training...I only have one in diapers again. I had two in diapers for almost three years.
Yeah on potty training! And lots of great fabrics!
I love green and anything that goes with it!
Love barn-reds, browns and greens!
Good to hear about the potty-training. I just finished training my first and boy, am I glad that is over...at least until my youngest is ready! :)
I love browns and pinks
Reds are my favorite color...and congrats on the potty trained little gal!
Paula
I have enjoyed reading your blog! I have just recently started a blog at MyQuiltBlog at http://www.myquiltblog.com/countryscrapquilts/ I would like to start on your *Star Quilt Along* sometime soon! Thanks for all the inspiration! My favorite color is pink
I read your blog regularly with great pleasure :)
It is such a nice and inspiring place that if only you lived a little closer I would send you a thank you pack just because I read the blog. Colours? - any, but mostly blue, green and orange.
I love your blog. You have given me so much inspiration!!! Your quilts are beautiful!
I love greens and reds.
Good luck potty training. We have been out of diapers for two years and I will be starting fresh when my new baby comes in Feb. I can't say I am excited. lol (for the diaper party anyway)
I enjoy reading your blog and I also hope to be able to join your quilt-alongs, once I have my commitments filled , 2/3rds through family birthday presents for this year and then Chrissy pressies to be made and then somethings for ME
Cheers
So....do I see the white diaper flag flying above the rooftop? Successful potty training is such a great feeling.
Love the idea of a fabric giveaway. Can we ever have enough? I love all colors but guess that green might be my favorite.
Love your blog and the quilt projects are truly inspirational...now I've gotta go and get me some vintage sheets...wish I could raid my mom's old closet (before they moved!).
Beautiful goodies! How lucky are you!?!
My current favorite colors are browns/pinks/greens as I am collecting to make "chocolate covered strawberry" and a "chocolate mint" quilts
turquoise and browns, or greens, or corals and tans....i like them all..
oh, and i think the bento is the best yet,too!
Congratulations no more diapers! They grow up so fast.I wish my babies where still babies. LOL
My favorite combos are blue and orange.
I just now got my oldest (nearly 3) potty trained - although we definitely do public restrooms a lot more than I have ever in my life, it is great to be free of diapers!
I'd love to join your little giveaway -- as the mother of 2 girls, my fave colors are pink and green.
Congrats on the potty training, my two year old got half way there mostly on her own, she poops on the toilet now, I'm just waiting for her to decide to take it the rest of the way, so far no luck!
All colors are wonderful, I think my next quilt is going to be yellow brown orange though. I love your quilts.
I've recently found your blog and really enjoy it. Your quilts are beautiful. I enjoy blues and greens but love the challenge of working with something new.
Is there such a thing as JUST ONE favorite color?!?!
Lately, I love RED. I was always told I "couldn't wear red", but I found out I COULD wear it if it was on the blue side of the spectrum instead of the orange. Now, I have a red van, purse, phone, wallets, Kitchen Aid Mixer, coat, the list goes on and on!
For fabric. I have a lot of patriotic, and brights, and easter egg colors, and kids stuff, and oh. I'm just a FABRIHOLIC. I know it. I love the stuff! :D
Isn't it great when you can relax enough for them to surprise you by taking the lead. It makes me wonder how many other things my kids will learn on their own if I just RELAX A BIT......
Congrats on the potty training!
Mail can make your day indeed!
You sure received some wonderful packages!
Hi thank you for visiting my blog- what wonderful things you make! Your red cross quilt is beautiful.
Ooo la you're having a give away! Urm.. Autumn colours are my current favourites.
I love the leaf quilt from the Prairie Quilters exhibition. What is the block called please? I'm pretty new to crafting so am constantly amazed by what I see.
Oh my goodness! I love reading your blog and seeing all of your creations. My favorite color(s) are pink and anything that goes with pink, but doesn't everything?
Robin
Great mail! And, as always, great work! Love that bento box quilt!
How nice of you!
My daughter's favorite colors are pink, red & orange.
Have a good one!
What a lucky girl you are!! All that mail goodness AND potty trianing WOO HOO!
My fav right now is pretty much anything pink---any shade of pink.
ooh I hope I'm not too late! I love black and pink!
Such neat things you get in the mail!
My favorite color combination is tangerine and turquoise. I know it's a bit Howard Johnson-ish, but I still love it!
I Love your blog. I am just learning to sew and am working on my first quilt top - what fun! You inspire me with all you work.
I love all colors! Right now I think I am on a green kick!
My favorite color is blue but the color I use the most is green. Don't know that I am in time for the drawing but I wanted to tell you that I love your Bento Box quilt. I have a picture of a Bento Box quilt hanging up in my sewing room because I have been wanting to make one for months now. Your quilt is lovely ... colors are great. You have inspired me. Thanks.
Love your blog and congrats on teh potty training! Must be so exciting! Favorite color combo: definitely pink and green. LOVE it!
I love blue, any shade, always have and always will.
I am sorry I missed the giveaway, but what a wonderful reason to celebrate! I absolutely love your Bento Box quilt and the terrific fabrics from IKEA!!
OMG, you get awesome mail!! I love packages.
It will be so nice not to have to change diapers anymore! One day....
I'm loving turquoise/aqua with chocolate brown. And apple green with almost anything!
I would love to win some fabric from your stash. I'm a relatively new quilter, so my stash is quite small. I'm not picky about colours at all. I love blues and greens.

WOW! What great mail!
My favorite color is Green-and a close second is Brown. Thanks!
Congratulations! I know how exciting Potty training can be.
I follow your blog faithfully, and have been inspired by the quickness in which you complete projects (even though you may not think you do).
I love black and white, and maybe a dash of red mixed in. I'm working on my own bento block quilt.
My favorite color is fuchsia! I like it with just about anything, including black and white, green, red, purple, etc. Anything bright makes me happy.
