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.

Hello AmandaJean! My name is Anna and I live in Pennsylvania (though I am a Minnesota transplant). Today was supposed to be a normal day at work until early in the afternoon it turned to drama. I had to be transported to the ER in an ambulance. Thankfully, it turned out to be vertigo and nothing more serious. However, the embarassment of being removed from my office on a stretcher will be hard to get over!! :)
654... WOW!! My name is Jenn & I'm from Southern California & today I spent running errands & wore my 3 year old daughter out. She is on my lap & I have been trying to wake her up for about 45 minutes. I even watched 30 minutes of the Bachelor online & she only sat here & drooled on my shirt. I love being a mom!
My name is Jennifer, and I am from Kansas. I just finished dinner with my family (shake & bake chicken, lol!), and now I have to start some laundry. No fun time for me tonight! :(

oh Amanda Jean,
my name is Melissa and I hope I am not too late for the contest! I'll tell you what I did today! I ran errands with my 12 week old baby. We went to a church, the bank, Michael's (to use my 40% off coupon on my first rotary board) and Joann's to buy elastic! Then we had some sweet friends over for dinner for which I made spaghetti and brownies! Yum :) Then I bathed my son with my hubby and updated my blog. Check out my baby-isn't he a doll?!
Oops!

I'm Lisa and I'm in Rapid City, South Dakota. We've just finished dinner and are now sitting in front of the tv. Instead of sewing, I think I'm going to read tonight.
Hi AmandaJean, I am Lisa from Morro Bay, CA. I spent most of today working (need fabric, must work!) and tonight I will baste a quilt in preparation for quilting (after I catch up on a few blogs).
My name is Tamara, and I'm from Canada. Today I got a quilt top sewn, a dress for my daughter sewn, the kitchen cleaned, and grocery shopping done (which is always such a feat with an 8 month old).
Hi, My name is Kimberley and I live in the Bay Area, California. I am getting ready to leave for work. I work nights at the local hospital. I would LOVE to use these fabrics on a new quilt my fiance and I are working on.
Its 8:30 at night and I've just got the kids in bed and now I'm wondering if I should shower for the day.
Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm from Tallahassee, Florida.

This evening, I attended a Chamber of Commerce dinner. I'm the treasurer, so I had plenty of things to do to prepare for it today. I just got home and now I'm surfing the wonderful quilt blogs.
Hi! I'm Sharlene from northwestern MN. I'm home from work today (teaching) because school is closed due to icy roads so I'm cleaning house, sewing & reading a book. What a great day! My address: sklegstad@kittson.k12.mn.us
My name is Trina, and I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Today I am enjoying my day off of work. I slept half the day! Then my boyfriend and I cleaned up the living room, and we are starting to clean up our spare bathroom, which we don't use, and is big, so I can have my own space for crafting. (Yeah, I know, kind of weird, but also oddly convenient.)
My project for the day was melting crayons into flower molds to reshape them. They turned out great, so I think I will experiment a little bit more, i.e mix some colors.
Hey. My name is Dani Thaxton and I live in Virginia. I am homeschooling my kids and doing laundry today. Monday night is gymnastics for one of my three kiddos, so it is leftovers for dinner...yeah. I am working on a log cabin quilt for my youngest.

My name is Erin and I live in Blacksburg, VA. I'm currently procrastinating, but when I wasn't, I was studying for my anatomy test... which is tomorrow! We're doing the head now, which is really cool, but also tedious. Did you know that different parts of your tongue (both movement and taste) are innervated by different cranial nerves? That sounds crazy to me, but whatever, it is what it is. But, if I didn't have to worry about getting my butt kicked by this test, I'd be finishing my Relay for Life quilt top.

Hello! My name is Mara and I'm from California. Today I drove to Santa Barbara to visit a friend from high school.

I live in Washington. I spent the morning helping my son make Valentine's Day cards...we only got 1 made because he just wanted to cut (he's just learning how to use scissors and loves them). I stared at the Christmas quilt that I didn't finish in time...wait I mean the one that I got an early start on for 09. Watched Thomas the Engine and Caillou with son as well.

Hi!
I'm Laila from Oman. This morning, i'm catching up on emails, blogs and doing the school run. Dinner is a shephards pie and veggies. No time for sewing this afternoon as it will be spent in the car getting the little one to after school activities.
Just to add, I only started quilting/sewing a year ago and have learned so much from your blog. Your endless turn out of quilts keeps me very inspired!
Laila
I'm Beth, in Alabama. I'm up way past my bedtime, listening to the quiet and hoping my feverish, almost-four-year-old son stays asleep. I'm an experienced seamstress (garments, draperies, and upholstery) trying to get my head around machine quilting. All previous attempts have disappointed, but your quilts are inspiring. Since I know two babies coming this summer, I want to create something awesome.

Today I worked all day at my "day job," then came home and made dinner, did three loads of laundry, worked on our taxes, hand-sewed the back of the binding onto a tablerunner that I just finished for a friend's birthday gift ... and now I'm checking both work and personal email before going to bed. I's been a rather busy day!!
My name is Tauna and I live in Los Angeles. I spent the day with my 14 month old playing, feeding, entertaining her while I tried to ward off the nausea and fatigue I am feeling from being pregnant with her sibling.

For me it is already Tuesday (± 07.38 am), so I hope I'm not to late to participate!
I'm at work right now, as I will be the rest of the day. Then I will collect my 2 boys from daycare and make dinner (still thinking about what to eat). Then we are meeting the teacher of our oldest, after that I hope to go the gym, and then (finally) sleep!
I really like your blog, it's very inspiring. Keep up the good blogging!

I'm from California. It rained a bit today. YAY! I worked today & I'm reading blogs before I go to sleep... Your blog is one of my favorites. I get so many ideas from blogs. It's so neat. Those fabrics would look beautiful in a doll quilt.
Thank you,

Hi girls, many overseas greetings from the other side of the world! As we are 6 hours ahead, guess you are all still sleeping ;-D
My name is Silvia, 43, and I live at the other side of the world, in the very heart of Europe near Vienna/Austria.
At the moment I am in the office, doing lot of paper work. When I come home at night, I will prepare a quick supper for me and my darling – our children are already adults and gone ;-D
After doing bit of housework, I will relax the rest of the day on the sofa and do some craft – at the moment lace-knitting and quilting are my favorites. I like to try new things and make new experiences, I just tried grandmas flower garden sewing by hand *oootsch* If I would have more time, I would do quilting all day long.
I like your blog and visit it daily. Thanks for all your wonderful inspirations we get out of it, and sharing all the pattern, informations and adorable pictures with us.
I also like the star quilt, and I made one for my daughter!
Due to this, I just ordered a new sewing machine with a stippling foot – as I like your free motion quilting. I have never done, but I will try. I am waiting here very excited for the delivery!
I am really jealous of the variety of quilting fabric and materials such as rulers in US. No idea about this here in my country!
And I will win your fat quarters, yeahhhhhhhhh!
Hugs Silvia

Hi. I'm Jill from Saskatchewan. Today I'm trying to get my 4 year old off to playschool with NO ARGUMENTS, then buying coffee (as a reward for managing to get him there), grocery shopping, taking the 2 year old to library story time, picking up the preschooler, and making lunch. Then I'm going to try to finish the top on my goddaughter's sister's quilt while breaking up fights and making snacks. Oh yeah, and I should vacuum. And make something for supper. So, the usual.
Hi! My name is Alicia and I'm from Indiana. Today I'm seeing my midwife for my 18-week appointment. I'm finally having a little girl after two boys! Those fabrics would be perfect for a little project for her. After that, I'm picking up our cats from the spay-neuter clinic. Had to get them fixed to stop all the kitty voyeurism that was going on in my house! I think I'll do a crock pot dinner too. Maybe beef stew. Yum!

Hi! I'm Nicole from Michigan. Today I'm teaching art to kindergarten through 8th grade-which means clay for the big kids, weaving for the not so big kids, cutting for the really little kids. Then, it's off to my OTHER art teaching gig which is an after school program. Then, eventually I'll go home to see my daughter and husband and possibly get a minute to finish quilting the top that my 6th graders finished LAST YEAR!
