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 401 – 600 of 926 Newer› Newest»My name is Kim and I live in California. Today I am trying to clean out my garage to make room for a dresser that I can use to organize my fabric stash. I really wish Peter Walsh was here to help me! Of course he probably wouldn't approve of a dresser full of fabric so scratch that! The sun is shining here so I hoping to convince my husband to BBQ for dinner!

i am adina from chicago. today i will be packing for a trip to warmer lands - Fl, so there will be no time to sew. i did finish 2 blocks the other day for my cottage bee and will be taking along a knitting project (a poncho) to keep me occupied on the plane.
Cheryl here. Today I went for a walk with a friend and her boys, baked cookies with The Monster, and hope I have some overlap in naptimes to finish a doll quilt.

Hi my name is Kristine and I live in snowy Vermont. I work as a Speech teacher at our local high school. I have spent the day helping our Life Skills kids put together their science fair presentations and working in the preschool. I will then take my son to a basketball game to work the concession stand for a fundraiser. And then I put on my taxi hat and pick and drop off my other children, when all I really want to do is QUILT!!!!!! Your fabric is so happy and cheery. It was so nice to see it all just sitting there bright and sunny.
My name is Lisa and I live in State College, PA, where I am a law school student. Today I am doing legal research for a paper, and wishing I could be in my sewing room, working on anything not related to law school! :)
Thanks for this kind treat!
My name is Nicole and at present, I am soaking up a bit of warmth in San Antonio, Texas while my babies sleep. The to tackle list screams laundry, a bit of housework, reading stories and chasing my 2 year old outside in the sunshine! Unfortunately, that leaves little time for my piles of sewing projects, but there's always tomorrow, right?

My name is Mandy, and I live in upstate NY on the edge of the Adirondacks and both I and my toddler have been battling some sort of intestinal horror for the last. four. days. Our doc says it should run its course in seven to ten, so I guess that's only another 3-6 days to go, hurrah for us. I want to bang my head against a wall!
OK, enough moping. Thanks for posting these fabrics--love the combo! Definitely a cheerful thing to look at, thanks!

Hi! I'm Carmutxa, I'm from Barcelona, Spain.
When I've arrived home with the kids I've made dinner: rice for kids, a salad for us.
And now I'm looking the blogs I like more and updating mine. In a while I'll go on crocheting a bear for my little one.
I want to learn how to make a quilt, but it's a big challange for me at the moment, I think I shall begin with a very little on.
My name is emmalei & I am looking at my unfinished quilt feeling self pity because I just started quilting and I just broke my hand (cast comes off in 5 more weeks). I am determined to get the cast under the machine once the swelling relaxes a little. In a few hours I will be waiting by the mailbox to see if some fabric I ordered has arrived :)
Love your site...found it through thimble blossoms :)

I'm Annie, from PA. I am running errands and doing laundry. And I went to visit my grandmother earlier! I have no idea what dinner will be yet.

I'm Frogdancer and today I'll be switching off the computer, running around the hose like a crazy woman getting myself and my boys off to school/work.
I'll teach English all day (with one period off) and then I'll pop home, grab my oldest son and go suit shopping for his Formal (like your Prom.) Come home, go through my cupboards and put together some things for my friend and her family who have lost everything but the clothes on their backs in the fires we've been having here, cook dinner, watch tv, do some essay marking and go to bed.
*sigh* Not much sewing gets done through the week here!

oooh, how fun! My name is Anne Weaver and I'm in Little Rock, Arkansas. Today while my daughter is at school, I'm actively avoiding grading papers for the online classes I teach. After I pick her up, I'll see if she's up for helping sew the borders on to the dolly quilt she's making. For dinner tonight, I have no idea. I went to the grocery today, so I'm more just revelling in the fact that there's actually food in the house.
My name is Megan and I live in Severna Park, Maryland, just north of Annapolis. Today I went to a know-it-all nurse practitioner, took a brief nap, and am now baby sitting my friend's daughter. I am also loving the fact that the word verification for my comment is "sucketiz".

Thank you for continuing your oh so inspiring blog.
I am Jennifer and I live in eastern Washington. It's a beautiful sunshine-y day here. I ran to town to get groceries with my kids (one stayed home from school today), played around with the features on my new camera (yeah!), and am trying to figure out what to make for dinner tonight. I have laundry & cleaning to do and will probably hand quilt tonight while watching tv. I love reading your posts, amandajean! Enjoy your day everyone!

Hello, my name is Marta. I am from the Basque Country in the north side of Spain (a little bit far away from you). Today I received my new tools to start a quilt, ruler in inches, rotary cutter, and I table mat to cut fabrics. Visiting your blog I have millions of ideas to start new quilts for my little children (a boy 3 years old and a girl 1 year old).
Again thank you to share all your ideas and your quilts, there are perfect for me here in Spain (we have no a lot of things about quilting) Sorry about my english, it is not as good as I would like.
Kisses from Spain

Oh wow. That's a lot of comments. My name is Kama and I'm from (near) Dallas, Texas. It's almost dinner time, but my son and I have had a good day. He's 4 months old. We started out with a bath for him and then headed to Big Lots and the $1 store. We also went to JC Penney where we got some great deals on clearance. Then we headed to eat (where I had to feed him in a restaurant) and then finished up at Half Price Books and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Oh, Babies R Us was actually our last stop. We were mostly using gift cards! Now we'll make dinner and watch the Bachelor while I finish doing most of the top of his quilt (my first).
My name is Donnelly and I live in Idaho. Right now, I am sitting and unwinding from a LONG day at work. To unwind, I am reading my favorite blogs and having a glass of merlot.
