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.

Hi, I'm Jill from the North of England. I've had a busy day today: I was at work this morning, picked my niece up from school at lunch time, went to the dentist (who happens to be my sister) this afternoon and cut up a lovely Rural Jardin jelly roll this evening for my next project.
A very productive day!
I'm Joyce from Manitoba, Canada and today I'm making chocolates for a girl's day out on Friday. Fun, fun.
Such fun colors! I'm Carrie from Western New York and hopefully I'll get a chance to quilt a little this afternoon before sitting down to pay bills and catch last night's Dancing with the Stars that is on my DVR.
Thanks for the giveaway! cshamp@hotmail.com
I'm Megan and I live in Chicago. I'm an accountant and today we are working on budgets. When I get home, hopefully I can sneak in some sewing while my husband is at school!

Hi! My name is Sudi-Laura, and I'm from Northfield, MA. Today I spent part of the day with my 3 year old fabric shopping and taking swim lessons. The later part of the day has been spent sewing quilts, bags, and some baby pants for friends!
Hi!
My name is Maria and I'm a Swede who live in Malta (in the Mediterranean, not US *lol*). I was taking a break from piecing my very first rag quilt when I stumbled upon your blog. The quilt I'm making is a baby one in blue and pink flannels combined with a lovely fabric from Beatrice Potter since I don't know the sex of the baby that's getting it. But now I've been reading your blog back to 2008 and I just can't stop, we've got such similar tastes it's almost scary and I'm so inspired I don't know where to start! =) I just HAVE have to read it all to the beginning but I really should have gone to bed hours ago. I'd love to win what would be my very first jelly roll (they're not sold here) so I had to add my comment here, my email is maria@ponyisland.net.
Please continue your fantastic work, I know for sure I'll be checking your blog every day from now on! <3
Sincerely
Maria

Hi - I am Kim from Northern British COlumbia, near the Alaska border ( 3 hours drive away, actually ).

Hi I'm Kelly from Rapid City, SD where is a sunny cool day with a hint of Fall in the air! 15 more minutes and I'm off work to hit the gym, go home & make dinner and then do some knitting! Later on I'll probably head to my sewing room where 2 wanna-be king size quilts wait to have more piecing done. Can't wait to get them on my frame because I enjoy quilting so much more than piecing!
Love the jelly roll colors! Thanks for your generosity! I'm hoping you'll post the winner - I'd rather not post my email addy for the world to see :)
Hi I'm Luba from Windsor,On Canada
and today we are having a flashback to the hot temperatures of "the Summer from H.E.-double hockey-sticks of 2010". I was with my quilting bee at the church, hand-quilting a quilt for a raffle to raise money for the church roof.
Now I am cooling off in lovely air-conditioning. Wheeew!
Thanks for a chance at your swell
giveaway.

Hi! My name is Ariane. I'm from Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I slept until about 2pm today, because I worked a 12 hour night shift last night. It's a gorgeous fall day out and the wind is blowing a nice cool breeze. I was hoping to receive my GO! Cutter today, but it got stuck in customs. So, I guess I have to get my housework done now. I might get a little sewing later tonight, since I won't be able to sleep at the regular time. Thanks for the chance to win this jelly roll. I love these.
My name is Erika and I live in a suburb of Milwaukee - Yeah Wisconsin!

We are happy girls!

Hi!
My name is Agnetha and I live in Holland.
Today I started my first quilt EVER! My mum is making quilts for a long time and I always loved them and now I started on my own quilt.
I read blogs like this one to learn more about it and to see what other people make out of fabric.
I think it is amazing what you can do with just a piece of fabric.
I really love your blog, keep up the good work!!

Hi, I'm Shelle. I homeschool one of my children who has Autism. I L.O.V.E quilting. To me it's more than a hobby, it's something I loose myself in. All of my quilts I end up giving away. I have done about 6 quilts in the last year and I don't personally own one(my kids own a couple each lol)! The last one went to my Grandmother who is another country altogether lol! I have some gorgeous fabric which I'm keeping for ME and when I saw your solids....! I didn't post to enter your comp as I'm in a different country to you, thought I'd just share a little anyway! Have a super day.
I'm Karin, I'm from Minnesota, but I'm not there right now. Right now I'm in a very remote area of the world waiting for a medivac jet to arrive to pick up a patient with a broken leg - she's been waiting for 2 1/2 days - it should happen in the next two hours.
I'm Aditi. I'm IN New Jersey but not yet comfortable saying I'm FROM NJ. Nor am I from MA which is where I was for the 15 years before moving to NJ. I'd say I'm from Tanzania where I grew up and where my family still is. Today was a particularly exciting day. I went for a teeth cleaning. Then I went to the bank to take out a huge wad of cash to take to the post office to buy some money orders so we can mail off our Indian visa applications tomorrow. It's gloriously beautiful out - warm and sunny and clear.

I am Lindsey from New Jersey. I worked all day at my job for non-profit organization and came home hoping I would get to work on my current quilt before tackling dinner.

Wish me luck!

Happy day to you!
Hi, I'm Bridgit from Michigan. Today we went grocery shopping, then to a couple resale shops for costume pieces. (Orange pants & shirt plus a hockey helmet so my son can be Luke Skywalker in x-wing uniform. If you think my daughter might be going as Leia, my husband as Anakin and I as Padame, you'd be correct...) Then there was a trip to the farmers market for apples for applesauce, then picking veg from the garden for dinner, then making and eating dinner. Tonight: finishing up the (waaaay too complicated) back for my best friend's wedding quilt!

My name is Dara. I live in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. I have been priming the kitchen cabinets and sanding wall as we are renovating this kitchen (finally after a year of enduring some of the ugiliest tiles and cabinets!!). This jelly roll would be a quilt challenge for me since I am not as adventurous with colour as the next girl.
Hello there! I'm Christin Elizabeth and I live in Denver, CO. Today I'm studying like crazy. I'm in pharmacy school and sadly, my quilting has to take a backseat to my program right now. But I live vicariously through quilting blogs :)

Hi! I'm Renee from Los Angeles. I'm at work, where I'm paying for the various shows that air on the 2networks I work for, however we keep having little earthquakes today - nothing big but big enough to rattle the building and where we are on the 15th floor, that means the whole building shakes. It's unnerving. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to go home and do some sewing to relax!!!

I am supposed to be at worship team rehearsal, but that doesn't sound like a good idea right now. I will not be sewing because my kitten chewed through the cord for the pedal for my machine and I am waiting for that to be fixed. :/

Hi Amanda Jean -
I JUST LOVE YOUR WEBSITE! I found it by mistake this summer and it has been so inspirational - thank you.
My name is Gretchen and I live in the Washington DC metro area. It's been just gorgeous here lately, seventies, sunny and low humidity. Just got home to work, waiting for dinner to finish baking and hopefully will head out to a PTA meeting soon. Enjoying your web site with a cup of coffee as a wonderful break. My youngest son stayed home sick (he's 15 so he enjoyed a day to himself) with a cold and sore throat. Just finished a quilt for my beautiful niece and hopefully will restart the summer quilt a long project. I'm about 3/4's through. (It's been very challenging. Thanks so much!!!
I am Lee from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Today I cleaned up on paper work that was growing on my counter, while waiting for a plumber to arrive and install three new dual flush/low flow toilets!!

I'm Rachel from Virginia. I just got home from work, and after the Little One goes to bed, I am going to finish machine quilting a baby quilt that I made for a friend. They own a seafood restaurant, and the I managed to track down some cute crab fabrics. Once I finish that, I might work on packing some of my tools and fabrics for my girls weekend this weekend (uninterrupted sewing time!), or I may flop on the couch. Hmmm, I wonder which is more likely to happen.
This rollup is bright and cheery!
