It feels like a giveaway day to me! I have one bright colorstory jelly roll to give away, compliments of Robert Kaufman. If you would like to win, let me know where you are from and what you are up to today. Here's an example for you: I'm Amanda Jean from Wisconsin. Today I'm going to start quilting my blue quilt. I have a sick boy at home (he has a cold, poor thing) and I'm listening to pandora, hoping my two little ones don't argue too much. Sounds lovely doesn't it? ;) Actually, the sun is shining, which helps immensely.
Please, one comment per person. Include your email address in case I need to contact you! I'll pick a winner sometime on Friday.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 1481 Newer› Newest»I am Sarah from Indiana. I just finished doing pilates with my two little girls (one who is currently in timeout for hitting her sister and crying that no one hurts me like mommy-since when did timeout become such a traumatic event?). I do have a pile of old blue jeans, that I have been cutting up for a new bluejean quilt.

'allo! I'm Valerie from West Michigan. *grin* I'm leaving in about 30 minutes to go get fitted for orthotics. *ugh!* I broke my foot earlier this spring and the verdict from my specialist was old lady shoes and insoles. In addition to being booted for most of the summer... What a bummer! :o( I've got some sewing plans for this evening --- a couple blocks for the NewBee quilt bee I'm in, plus the beginnigs of a quilt for a friend who's on extended bed rest. She's due with baby #2 in mid-December --- and has already been on bedrest for 4 weeks. I want her to have something snuggly and warm while she waits on this little one to come. That, and I figure mom ought to be spoiled 'cause little man surely will! *grin*

I'm Marjorie from Idaho. I spent the morning preparing lessons and answering emails with last minute assignment questions for a college course that I teach. Then I took a long walk where I collected leaves to inspire my next applique project. I have a little more business paperwork to complete, then I'm sneaking over to the sewing machine to see if the tote bag idea I had during a mind-numbing meeting last week will work as planned. But I have to hurry... my daughter is playing football at 3:30 after which I have a teach class.

Hi Amanda Jean! I'm Jennifer from Wisconsin as well (New Holstein) and today I've just laid my baby girl down after her 18-month vaccines, so I'm hoping to use her nap time to start work on a charity quilt I'm making for a relative dying of breast cancer. The fundraiser/auction for her family is in about 5 weeks now.
Pretty and bright fabrics! I'm Bree, from Florida. Today, I'm stuck at work, and worse - I'm on call so I'm likely to get stuck here longer than normal! When I eventually do get home, I have an adorable monkey applique to work on to cheer me back up :)

Hi~ I'm Toni from Oregon. It's sunny right now. I finished a flimsey yesterday and immediately started two scrap quilts. My husband is hunting so I have plenty of time to be self indulgent.

I'm Cindi from the Adirondacks in NY but am living in VA. (my husband is in med school). I am at work looking at blogs while the kids I take care of are napping. I rode my bike to work this morning for the first time and am already a little tired thinking about riding it home! It took me 30 minutes. Oh well, I'll get my exercise while going home, walk my dog, make dinner for the our company that is coming over and then look through my fabric to see what I have that will go great with that jelly roll...that's if I get it of course!

I'm Mary from northwest Montana and I am hoping for a little break from the rain so I can finish (that is optimistic) staining the outside of my house. In the meantime I am piecing a back for a quilt that I started in June. I think the back is taking longer than the front, and I am wondering if it is worth the time I have spent. Would it be a better use of my time to just buy the extra wide fabric and be done with it?
Any how I love Robert Kaufman solids and I'm crossing my fingers!!!
Thanks for having a fun blog to read.
Hi~ I'm Diane from PA, I'm taking a little break from loading a quilt on my HQ16. I'm also trying to get binding stitched down on a raffle quilt that I finished this morning. I should start making dinner soon.....

I'm Heather from Ohio and currently taking a break at work between projects. Tonight I'll be making tomato sauce, pre-washing fabric for a king-sized quilt, and attending the open house at my son's school.
Perfect colors for today! I'm Collette from Chicago and it's about 85 here today. (I know!) My 3 year old is at daycare today (he just started 3 weeks ago and I'm not sure what I think about it. It's both great and not so great). I'm having a swinging time with him gone--went to the doctor for a yearly checkup (yeah, I know how to live) but today my husband stayed home to do paperwork so we got to have lunch out just the two of us. Kind of feels like playing hooky!
Hope your son feels better. Mine had a big fever over the weekend and we had to drive 9 hours home from the in-laws. :-( All is well now though so there's hope.
I am Emily from central Iowa. I am at work right now, but tonight, I will be going home and working on free motion quilting my very first quilt!

Hello,I am Lunachance in Redmond, WA. Today is a day to prep for the house cleaner who comes tomorrow. I know, why do I clean before Vanesa comes? So she can do her job more easily and faster. Since she comes at 8:30 AM, I usually get up around 6:30 so I can strip the bed and have the sheets in the dryer before she gets to the bedroom.

Joan from Los Angeles. Yes we quilt in LA. Well at least some of us do. mmmm, normally I would pass these colors up...but just yesterday I bought fabric that would work wonderfully. So with that in mind I put my hat in the ring and keep my finger's crossed.
Andrea from small town Nevada. My plans for today include getting the laundry caught up so I can feel better about leaving town this weekend; canning the fresh fire-roasted chiles I bought on the roadside yesterday; cleaning up my living room so it doesn't look like we came home from camping yesterday, (when we actually returned last Wed.); and finally impressing my husband by at least starting on dinner before he comes home (that hasn't happened in a few weeks, he doesn't complain though). Writing it out feels a little overwelming, so we'll have to see what really gts done.
I'm Becky from beautiful Washington state. I'm looking out the window and wishing I was outside instead of working. Looking forward to getting in some time at the sewing machine very soon though.

Hi Amanda Jean. My name is Starr and I live in Utah. Today I fixed the stair on our deck, cleaned the kitchen, dining room and living room, and partially organized the garage. Right now I am eating chocolate chip cookies with icy cold milk and blog surfing. I am trying to get inspired to go and do some sewing. I think that pretty little jelly roll should do the trick. Thanks for the give away!
It's Nicole from Annapolis! I'm working hard today, but I'm getting excited because in 95 minutes, I leave for vacation in Colorado.

What a nice little roll of goodness! I'm Jessy from Calgary, and I feel more like I live in Vancouver lately. Calgary is the 2nd sunniest city in Canada so when we get a week straight of gray skies and rain it seems dismal. Oh well, back to sunshine on the weekend! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I'm Erin from Crocker, MO and right now I'm sitting with my daughter watching The Swan Princess. Most of the day has been spent cleaning and straightening things up. Which is generally more fun than it sounds.

I am Erica from Texas and today I am making whole wheat rolls, working on potty training my 3 yr old and holding my 6 wk old as much as possible. It may be fall here but you sure couldn't tell! One of the bad things about living in Houston in September: the neighborhood swimming pools are all closing but its still too hot to do anything but swim!
Gorgeous - I love the brights.

I'm Elizabeth from California - I'm a new quilter and am excited to be wrapping up my first quilt(lap sized). My machine didn't like the quilting part of the process, but my incredibly generous teacher is letting me use her machine so I can get a feel for it and decide what I'll invest in. Unfortunately, that means I have to wait until the weekend to continue. In the meantime, I'm looking at materials for my next project!
And now...back to work. :)

Hi Amanda,
My name is Linda and I live in the central valley of central California where summer refuses to give up. This morning I was working on my Paganini blocks and then moved on to sew along blocks - two to make there. Then stopped to read some blogs and had to jump over and join the Fat Quartes Mystey bom (after seeing pictures posted by another blogger). Now, for lunch and reading more blogs. Then back to the sewing room for a few hours before making a new chicken dinner. Oh, and after dinner, some crocheting for an afghan for Project Linus while catching up on some of the new fall line up on tv!

What a fun giveaway! It reminds me of those first days in class when I didn't know anyone and we would just sit in a circle and everyone got to tell a bit about themselves :)
Well, I am Johanna from Munich, Germany and we are having a beautiful autumn over here with a lot of still green leaves and lot of yellow ones (and a lot of sun).
