Happy Monday! I feel like giving away some free fabric today-just because. :) If you would like to win these 4 fat quarters, all you need to do is leave me a comment letting me know where you are from and what you are doing today. I'll give you an example. (This idea is totally stolen/inspired by the adorable Camille. I so want her chair, by the way. Swoon!!!)
My name is AmandaJean and I live in Wisconsin. Today I am doing laundry and I am working on my Swell quilt. I am making chicken wild rice for dinner in my crock pot so I have more time to sew!
In your comment, please make sure there is a way for me to contact you in the event that I draw your name. Thanks!
edit: the contest is now closed.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 926 Newer› Newest»Hi! I'm Kristine. I am in northeastern GA enjoying some (finally) warmer weather. I celebrated my birthday this weekend by going to JoAnn's and getting fabric for my next gift quilt. I'm dying to get to my sewing room and press and cut! However, I have to work. I am trying to get all my work in so I can quilt! LOVE your blog and I am planning on getting a big roll of batting and a bunch of muslin or Quilter's Only parchment to have on hand thanks to your ideas in your FAQ! You are an inspiration! Thanks!

Exciting, I know.
thanks!

If there's time left over, I'll lock myself in my sewing room and see what I can conjure up!
Hi!
Thank you so much for this blog. It's been really helpful for me as a rookie sewer.

I'm Erica. The worst thing that has ever happened to me happened last Thursday and I'm still trying to recover.
I'm doing all I can to keep myself busy to try to stay in a state where I can still care for my 2 girls, but it's so hard. I know things will get better with time, I just wish I could zip through the next few weeks and months.
I'm Jen and I live in Grand Rapids, MI. Today I'm sorting clothes that were given back to me by my sister-in-law (she borrowed them for her son), hoping to do some quilting on my 2 1/2 year old son's train quilt, but that all depends on how content my 3 week old remains. Most likely I'll do more rocking and diaper changing than anything.

Hi!
My name is Marta and I live in Calo, Spain... today is a day off from work since yesterday sunday I worked 24 hours in medical emergencies. No sleeping though, I had to sew a bit :))))... and I have been busy with some x-stitch in the morning and just now sewing together with a friend a "Bunny Run" quilt for another friend who is having a baby in one month. OK, now I must go get some dinner done for me and my brother.
Love
Marta (my mail is in my profile)

Hi, I'm Katherine and I live in Alberta. Laundry, and housework are being checked off my day's to-do list. Once supper is underway, I'll be at my machine. ;o) Unfortunately, the quilting on my scrappy red project has stalled because I ran out of red thread, so instead I'm going to finish up some kitchen projects for myself today.

First, thanks for writing such a fun blog. Lots of inspiration.
I am Cynthia from Florence AL (currently). Today consists of the usualy Monday items, laundry, groceries, etc. It's really nice here today so probably some playtime outside too. Somewhere in there I hope to sew a little on any one of the projects waiting for attention.
Hi I am Kristen from South Dakota where it is raining today totally crazy weather! I am home taking care of my sick daughter and trying to clean my house, hand sew the binding on a my latest quilt and working on a knitted hat for my daughter. I think I may need a nap after all of this. :-)
Hi, I'm writing form a rather Brrr cold and snowy England. I'm in my kitchen doing my sewing, working on my 'Love is ....' quilt which will be posted on my blog later this week.

Your eyes are probably getting blurry after all these comments, but here goes.
I'm Lindsey from NC and today is my birthday. I'm going to be baking my birthday cake today. (my husband doesn't bake, so it's up to me!)
Ok! Let's get this party started! I am from Plano, Texas. I'm currently sitting at my desk looking out my 10th floor window, longing to be out in the sunshine that has peeked through the grey feather thin clounds that are the remnants of our early morning thunderstorm. I grabbed a quick lunch so I didn't get my usual hour of blog checks that I enjoy so much. So tonight I will have to go home and hit up the rest!
NE Ohio here. :) Enjoying the warmer weather today - yay for the snow melting! House cleaning and some sewing await my day. Along with wrangling the 2.5 year old and lots of snuggling and nursing the 5 month old. :) Oh, and I should probably get some cooking done as well. ;)
hi, my name is Stacey and I am from Los Alamitos, CA. Today it is raining and windy. I am making the 'peppermint-heart garland' out of the stitched in time book. Tonight I am going to make a leek and swiss cheese quiche with a mixed greens salad. Thanks for the give away.
hi. i'm not a big giveaway person, but i like you and because i check your blog everyday i feel like we're friends.

My name is Jenifer. I'm from Texas.
Today I'm bull-riding. :)
I've been up ate the school all morning counting money for the fundraiser (I'm PTA President), then I bought enough frito's, cheese, drinks, cookies, etc. for a big Frito pie dinner we're hosting for the school tomorrow night, then I stopped to check my blog to read my 2 comments and write this comment to you, then I'm putting away the 100s of loads of laundry i folded on FRIDAY, then i'm making dinner for my family of 8 and 7 friends we invited over for family night.
fried chicken, homemade mac n cheese, brocolli and brownie sundaes... mmm.
Crazy no?
it's definitly a bull riding day.
my sewing machine is pouting.
Hello, my name is Kate and I am from Michigan. I am at work to support my sewing habit. When I get home I am planning to finishing up a quilt that I am gifting this coming weekend (and am very excited for the recipient!). I made posole in my crockpot yesterday with plenty of leftovers so there is no need to cook tonight. Tick tock, is it time to go home yet because I would much rather be sewing…..
Hi, I'm Lindsey and I live in San Diego. We had our taxes done today, my daughter has ballet and I plan on sewing a few more cloth pads.
Hi! I'm Amanda, fellow Wisconsin-ite--Milwaukee area. At this very moment, I'm at work (shame on me!). On my lunch hour I did some reading on becoming a financially-fit woman. Tonight, I will be cooking mosticholli, cutting pieces for a baby quilt, reading bed-time stories, and spray-painting an old black paper bin to a new pretty light gold.
Wow AmandaJean, this is a good way to bring readers out of the woodwork! Look at all these comments!
I'm Holly, I live in western Washington, and today I am doing laundry (every day, right?), making Valentine's cards with my preschooler, and going to the dentist for a filling. And trying not to think about that last one.
I am Angi and I am from Lake Orion Michigan. Today I CLEANED and then started some embroidery blocks for my next quilt. I LOVE YOUR BLOG!
On my list for the day: laundry, kitchen clean up and working on a quilt I started yesterday. :D
Hi! My name is Alissa and I live in Northern Minnesota. Today school was canceled in anticipation of a predicted ice storm which has yet to occur. We spent the morning painting some lovely wrapping paper with which we will cover coffee cans to make Valentine's mailboxes. While the paintings dry, my girls are playing in the snow while I knit inside. I should also mention that I vacuumed and washed the floors before sitting down to knit. I am not totally irresponsible! :)
Hi I'm Sanna from Southern Finland, Northern Europe! Today I'm hitting some University lectures, do my gym and yoga, and making pasta and tomato sauce for dinner. I just love those polka dots, by the way!
I'm Jessica in Illinois. Today I'm working on some organizing projects while my little guy naps; more Mr. Potato Head after he wakes up, I'm sure. Tonight after he goes to bed, I'll be doing some knitting.
Love your blog!
Hi,
I am Anna and I live in San Antonio, TX. Today I am working, but work is slow so I am reading blogs and living vicariously through those who get to be around fabric all day. I have a baptism class after work (don't know what dinner will be) since I'm going to be a Godmother. I am not sure if I'll get to sew! Wow, 367 comments!

Hi, I am Kim. I live in Hawaii. I am going to be working on my hexagon quilt today (maybe) and my block of the month projects (definitely). Have a Happy Monday!
I'm Melissa. I live in Cumming, GA and today I'm doing laundry, watching movies, and shopping online. A totally decadent Monday.
I'm Sara, living in San Francisco. Today I'm sick as a dog, but curled up under a quilt I finished 2 days ago (yay!).
I'm Ginger, and today I am doing laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and working on a yet to be named quilt that has fabric from my stash... a rare occurrence! Love the fabrics you are giving away!

Hi, I'm Carrie in Virginia and I've just started quilting, but am loving it, and your blog! And polka dots and cherries are my favorite. Today I am proofing web pages for the shows my performance venue is about to announce, and frantically calling day cares to start visiting them and getting on waiting lists for my daughter due in April. :) ckboris @ gmail.com
Hi, I am Sandi from Lakeport, California. I am working this morning and trying to recover from a wonderful weekend of scrapbooking with friends. Today after school I will be taking by 2 boys to the store to buy Valentine cards for school. My daughter, Amanda Jean, is 13 and too old to buy mass produced cards for classmates. I have made quilts for my children in the past and would like to start again.
Hi my name is heatherandrienne and I was wondering if you were stealing my idea of what to say. I'm working on my swell quilt too!:) We have alot of the same taste and fabric do we know eachother???:):):) Have fun reading all the comments. Maybe I need to have a giveaway to get 375 people to come to my blog:) On a different note can I wash my rag rug that I knit in the wash machine? Someone asked me on my blog and I knew I needed to ask you first:) I'm going to email you later.
Hello, my name is Emily and I'm from Chicago. Today I am working on cleaning my house so I can finish the patchwork dress I'm working on for my daughter. Hopefully she will cooperate (she's just 6 months old) and take a nap. Dinner... probably lame healthy chicken and broccoli.
Hi Amanda, I'm Mary and I live in NW Indiana. Today's my catchup day from the weekend. I just got back from running all the errands (library, bank, grocery store, post office) and am working on laundry. My niece is spending the day with me so I get to pretend I know what I'm doing with her homeschool class work. I"m in so far over my head, it's not even funny! Thanks for the chance to win the fabric!
My name is Maree and I live in Australia. Today my day will be filled with some housework, a little sewing... and most of all... making a birthday cake for my beautiful little girl who is turning 2 tomorrow!! Oh, am I'm going to be praying... because today... I live in a safe part of Australia. We (Australia) are being ravaged by severe flooding in North Queensland and extreme disasterous fires in New South Wales and Victoria. So lots of praying for those that have lost their lives... (both in floods and fires) and for those left to pick up the pieces and those who are out there fighting the fires. It's horrible.
Yikes! There are a lot of busy people. I'm Melody from AZ. Today I'm doing odds and ends. A bit of sewing, a bit of cleaning, a bit of computer repair. Just enjoying the rain and being inside. No idea what's for dinner. Any ideas?
Hi Amanda!
My name is Stephanie and I am from Ohio. I'm having an incredible time catching up on blogs and emails while the babes are napping. Soon I'll work on some sewing and think about dinner. Your crockpot idea sounds perfect for tomorrow. I'm too much of a procrastinator for crockpotting, though.
Hi I am Amy from Carlsbad, CA. We are staying inside today making a Valentine Tree because it is cold, rainy and windy out...again...LOL
lol well considering I am number 378 on the list, it is highly unlikely that my late posting will win me any material awards but that is alright. I got to view your great blog and hope you don't mind but will be putting it on my own blog list. I have yet to attempt to do quilting or patchwork. My mother gave me some fat quarters (do I even have the right terminology here) to get me started on a blanket for when our baby arrives. I have them cut down now into the size I want and some are pinned together but each day sees me picking up my knitting needles and biting my lip as I stare at the patches waiting patiently for me to sew. I am nervous about it - truly. Always my first attempt at anything is such a huge learning curve and the mistakes are often hilarious to say the least. I get so envious when I see the amazing quilts that yourself and other bloggers are capable of doing. I'm from Ireland and quilting isn't a big deal here unfortunately, would love to take a class in it but reading books is as close as I can get for now. Will take a deep breath at some point this week and plunge right in with those patches. :)

Hi my name is Cheryl. I live in Idaho. Today I am doing laundry, trying to finish the first border on a quilt (I just took a quilting class and this is my first quilt.), and then I have to pick my daughter up at school to take her to gymnastics. Love your blog, so glad I found it!!!

My name is Emily and I'm from NC. I had an evil doctor's appt today that I thought I had to fast for, but realized after I got there that I didn't. So now I am stuffing my face with Jelly Beans while putting off washing the dishes. Thankfully the crockpot is filled with chicken and (almost time for the) dumplings so I don't have to worry about "cooking" later.
My name is Wilma and I live in West Virginia.I am at work and so very much wishing I was at home working on my siggy quilt blocks.In the crock pot I have pot roast with root veggies a cooking, so when I do get there I can set into sewing.
My name is Amy and I live in Massachusetts. Today I am taking care of my kids, painting the trim in the baby's room, and working on a tiny little wall quilt to hang above my sewing machine. It is now ready to bind. I am warming up leftovers from dinner last night so no cooking for me either. I love the fabrics!

Hi, I am Liz from Victoria, Australia, currently residing in UT, USA. Today, amidst laundry, grocery shopping and cooking thai red curry for dinner, I am keeping a keen eye on the current devastation of the bushfires back home. Someone I know has been directly affected, with others whose homes in the path of the monstrous fire front. I feel scared and helpless...
Hi! My name is Anne and I live in Finland. We have got still more snow and there are -6 C degrees outside. I´ve been working at school teaching my pupils with special needs today.

You know who I am. You know where I live. And you know what I'm doing (or not doing) today.
AND, I know that your plans have changed today by a sick little girl. And I'm totally sorry about that.
(You do not have to add me to your giveaway. Since I was being a smartie-pants and didn't answer your questions properly. I was just trying to make you smile a little bit.)

Visited a friend.
