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.

My name is Kenna from Sammamish, WA. I am busy today planning our church's Halloween Party. Even though it's a month away, it's consuming my thoughts and dreams. Yuk. The sun in shining in Seattle today, so the kids and I are headed outside. I am so grateful to your blog - it helped me finish a quilt for a friend, and I couldn't have done it without one of your tutorials. She was so grateful.

I am Lisa Smits from Escondido, CA. I am finishing up my mopping so I can start cutting my sashing for my current quilt after carpool pick up! Hopefully they don't have homework that requires too much of my attention!
I'm Debra from SW Minnesota. I'm getting over some horrible stomach virus. Yuck. Luckily my 2 children, ages 5 and 4 are playing nicely while I try to distract myself from the pain by reading blogs! Not really the post you want to read. I wish I was finishing up a quilt I'm working on. Just doing the topstiching then the binding. Plus I have a block of the month to do soon for the local group. Great giveaway.
Hi, I'm Megan and currently residing in the hot and humid southeast Georgia. Today was spent with my 2 young daughters hanging up laundry to dry because the dryer decided to take a vacation.
Cheers,

I am Michele and I'm in Arkansas. I'm finally taking a break after running all day to get my boss out the door for his trip to Alabama. And I'm very much looking forward to spending some time quilting tonight!
Well, there are SO many entries, but I'll throw my name in, too.
I'm Deanna in Utah and today I hope to get two more 6" stars sewn for the border of a quilt I am working on. Not much of a goal, but the truth.
I'm Crisanne from Utah. I've spent the morning with my littlest ones, watching them play in the dirt and observing a big backhoe that is ripping up the road in front of our home. I've also managed to take my older 2 to piano lessons and made it to the school for parent-teacher-student conferences. Unfortunately, I have yet to do the breakfast dishes, let alone any sewing!

I'm Clisty from Grace, Idaho. Today I am digging through my scraps to find enough for a table runner. I have 3 girls 5 1/2, 2 3/4, 8mo at home, school is out for Potato Harvest, and my oldest is super bored! It is cloudy rainy and windy today so no sending them outside. I think I should turn on some Pandora to help me relax and block out the occasional laughing, fighting, playing.

Today I am jumping up and down to the window of my flat gazing out in anticipation of the postman arriving with my first charm pack... it's arrived, so exciting! Off to continue working on my very first quilt. Feels good.

Hi sharon from pittsburgh here
It is unseasonably hot today but ,with thunder, lightening and rain.
I love bright colors like the jelly roll and am presently working on a quilt of baseball's for my soon to be 8 y.o nephew
crazy day, It was my day off, so I had an 'induction' at the gym, and did a pilates class, chased laundry in from the line when the rain came down, and generally just never stopped.
Work tomorrow! for a rest.
Still working on the quilt top, but slowed down a lot- life gets in the way of sewing...

Hi Amanda,

Hi, i'm Jess, and i live in Sydney, Australia.
Today i am doing some laundry and playing with my children. I'm hoping that naptime will go off without a hitch and that will give me some time in my crafting room, but it rarely does so i may have to settle for some bad TV and some good food instead.
Today is quite overcast so i guess spending the day outside all day may just be a bit out of the question, but that is where i am currently headed (after we finish breakfast) in hopes to exert some of the energy young one's seem to never run out of!

Hello Amanda Jean,
I have been reading your blog for a while and enjoy following your quilting adventures. My day includes a M-F 8-to-5 job and quilting time when I get home. Working on a red/white quarter square quilt. It's coming along slowly. Would love to win this jelly roll...lots of possibilities there!
What a great giveaway!
I'm Victoria from Illinois, and I finished putting borders on a baby quilt today and am now catching up on my DVR.
I'm Darcy from Atlanta, I'm wishing our 90+ degree days would give way to some fall like weather. I'm thinking sadly about packing up all my sewing supplies and fabric to get ready to move to a new house - but not before I finish a baby quilt and a few halloween bags. I'm thinking about how delighted I'll be to unpack in my new sewing room! Finally, I'm wishing tonight would be the night my one year old would finally sleep through the night!
Hello. I'm Regina and I live in Northern California. Today is pretty much over for me. If you asked this morning I would have said that I would be working on a couple of quilt along projects your most recent one included (currently stuck at week 8) *lowers head in shame*. Instead I got sucked into the joys of sorting through toys and taking them to be donated. Trying to get a jump on it before the holidays and birthdays take over.
I did squeeze in a nice treat for myself. A manicure! This would be my second one ever. I'm currently sporting a lovely orange-ish shade called Bird of Paradise.
My name is Sandy, my family and I relocated from Tampa, FL all the way up to Scranton, PA this summer. We are experiencing our first Autumn ever and it is a blissful experience. I am having a hard time working on my projects because I spend so much time outside staring at the leaves :)

Hi! My name is Suzanne from Oklahoma and I had to travel for work today and didn't make it home until 7 this evening. But I was really proud b/c when I got home I went to my sewing room and cut some jelly rolls so I can take them to work and layout a scruffily quilt made w/ Halloween fabric. I think it is going to be so cute! And hopefully I can actually get it done before Halloween!! We will see if that works out! Ha!!

Today in the midst of my classes and work I put some more pieces on the first ever quilt I am making for my niece for Christmas.

Greetings, I'm Anna from MD but just a few mins from my hometown of Wash, DC. I am up way toooo late, but as a homeschooling mom of 7, sometimes you stay up late just to do something for 30 mins without an interruption. I'm working on a quilt for a good friend who teaches co op classes & the quilt was a barter for a class that my son took from her. I'm also knitting up hats for Christmas presents. Now I'm on my way to crawl in next to my slumbering hubby under 2 of my favorite quilts. Night! ~anna
Hi, I'm Tine from Copenhagen, Denmark. I am home from work recovering from pnemonia - hopefully I'll be well by tomorrow, because we're going to Legoland this weekend!
So I'll be staying warm and drinking tea while I work on a CARS art portfolio for my 3 year old son. We have a longish trainride to get to Legoland, so I want them to be entertained ;)
Hello, my name is Sue Webber, I'm from Hamilton in New Zealand and I'm a quilterholic. It's been 4 weeks since my last quilt and I'm finding it hard to walk past fabric without falling off the wagon. It's also very hard not to droolin fabric sops. At a crafters and quilting fair last week I was getting odd looks from people as I held jelly rolls and charm packs in my arms, muttering 'My Precious' and rocking back and forth. At the moment I'm crocheting a hexagon blanket.
Hello, it's Hilary here from Sydney, Australia. Today I am making a small quilt top out of fabric offcuts. I'm just up to the border, but stopped to make cupcakes for the kids to eat for afternoon tea.

My Name is Claudia. Today is my birthday! I am turning 22. Today is going to mostly be spent on my own and with my boyfriend. I am sewing up a bunch of scrap pieces to make a weird sort of back-cover for one of our couches, just for fun. Also I have to be packing up my things into storage boxes. In about a week I am moving to Cambodia to go into business with my dad. So tomorrow I am having my party with my friends: my happy-bon-birthday-voyage party :)
If I were to win, don't worry about international shipping. I'll have it mailed to my family or boyfriend in the US and they will mail it to me.
Thank you (and cool blog)
Claudia

I'm blogging before I get ready to teach at school for the day. Parent-teacher conferences today. Won't be home until 7:30 but I hope to have enough energy to sit at the machine for at least a few minutes. Sewing and quilting is a great stress reliever after a long day. That fabric looks delicious.

Unfortunately I am unemployed at present so I am at home planning to work on my Anna Maria Horner disappearing nine patch quilt. Afterwards I take my dog - an Irish softcoated wheaten terrier called Tessa - for a walk.

Hi! I'm Jenny in NY. I'm cleaning house all day today to get ready for a great friend's visit this weekend. Bummer to be cleaning, but great motivation to get it out of the way before the fun begins. I'm hoping to have time to sift through my fabric scraps to find enough to use to throw together a quilt for a school fundraiser coming up, crossing my fingers that I won't have to buy any supplies for it. Have a great day!

This is Melissa from California. I always read your blog while I am at work, but wishing I was home quilting. Later, I plan on starting a label for the quilt I am working on. My mother made the top, she passed away in January and I am finishing all of her wip's. While I am working on her quilts I wonder what she thought about while she worked on them. I miss her so much.

I love the colors of the jelly roll - I'm sure it would chase the autumn and winter away and make spring and summer in the sewing room! lol
I'm Kristin from the Pacific NW. I'm not planning much today. I'm hoping to get something done for the Kid's Clothes Week and we have school (we homeschool). Other than that, not much! :)

I'm Kathy from Vermont and it's a workday for me. Today will one of those days where I'm thinking about what I would be sewing if I could be home. Thanks for the giveaway - I could use some solids in my collection - I always seem to gravitate toward prints.
My name is Carley and I'm from Oregon. Today I plan on working on a baby quilt for an expecting friend and taking care of my injured puppy. Thank you for the opportunity!
Hello from Washington DC. I'm sorry your kiddo is no doing well on Tuesday. Today is Thursday so we hope he is doing better. Today is potty training day with my 3 yr old son. Has no interest in it whatsoever, but it keeps me in the kitchen next to the sewing machine, so that's a plus. Have a great day and thank you for hosting this giveaway!

I'm Taryn from Nebraska -- Today I'm working hard but hoping to finish a quilt top tonight once I get home!
HI, I'm Stacey. Today I am having my 4th day in my new job. I will probably do a ton of checking and correcting the work of the girl who had this position for the 3 months before me before being fired for lack of attention to details. I get to "re-do" all the work she did in our schools data base so that everything is again working correctly. Is it crazy that I am actually enjoying the fact checking and finding portion of my job....YES. I hope to spend some time tonight on the quilt I have in my machine right now, I need to get it finished so that I can work on the binding when we go on vacation next month....6 hours in the car needs a good project.

I'm Zlatka aka Blogless me and I live in Belgium. I'm catching up with my Google Reader (400+ unread posts) after a brief but very rewarding trip with quilting friends to Ste-Marie-aux-Mines in France where the yearly european exhibition of quilts takes place. That's where I also picked a nasty virus that caused me to loose my voice and endure unpleasant headaches and running nose. Thankfully, my suffering seams to be coming to an end.
Btw, I love your block and follow it in Google Reader.
I am in a suburb of Chicago. Today is simply gorgeous and I have to work this afternoon. This morning I am doing a bit of Halloween crafting and laundry.
Great giveaway! I am at work today, wishing I was at home quilting. I have 4 customer quilts to do, as well as two more of mine for Christmas presents.
I suspect that my chances on winning these adorable sweets are low - but I felt like leaving a comment anyway.
I am Tina from Germany and wanted to let you know that your blog has a growing fan community over here. :) As quilting has in general. I´ve started it as a pasttime in between kids, household and exams and got hooked. Usually with more attempt than talent, but I still enjoy what I do. ;-)
Just now I´ve sent my two younger kids off to an elementary school event :-), checked the 7th-graders homework, am waiting for the next round of laundry to be finished - and then I´ll be off to have fun with my spider-web-whatever-it-may-be-project!
Greetings from sunny northern Germany. Keep on quilting and sharing with us!
Love, Tina
I'm Becky from Utah and right now I'm working on making pink and blue baby things - don't know what I'm having so I'm trying to be prepared!
I am Alycia from Colorado. Today I am going to finish cutting the pieces for a Quilt of Valor sew day, and I am going to start quilting my Carolina Crossroads quilt.
Hola- My name is Kim and I'm from Wichita, KS. Right now I am sitting at work, bored, and waiting for a new task to come my way. At home I'm currently working on my mom's Christmas gift, which is an amazing quilt from French General fabrics. I have several other WIP's but that's my favorite at the moment.
I am excited about your giveaway! Thanks much for being so generous. I have been wanting to start a completely solid quilt for some time now but I've just been too involved in my other WIP's to even go buy some fabric for it. Maybe someday!
Adios Amigos- KimmyB

I am Elayna from Tacoma, Washington. I go to the University of Puget Sound.
It's rather chilly outside today, but no worries, I won't have time to play outdoors.
I have work and class all day! Today, I have Environmental Law, Finance, and Film Culture. I enjoy every minute of it.
When I get back to my dorm, I hand sew, knit, and crochet. Currently, I'm working on sewn placemats and napkins, and crocheted coasters as a set to use at my house.
Like every other college student (and everyone, I think), I love free stuff, and ESPECIALLY free crafting stuff! So thank you for offering this freebie :)
Sincerely,
Elayna
I LOVE those bright colors! What a great way to start fall! :) My name is Diane. Today I am going to finish up some orders for my etsy shop, and hopefully get started on one of the many quilts that have been taking up all the room in my head. :) My hubby is home for the day and right now we are 'watching' Robots with our two boys. (I, of course, am blogging while I watch). :)
Hope you have a lovely day! :)
howdy! i'm pamela (nickname = sweets), and i work part-time since my "headcount" was moved to another part of the country. today, i'm going to work on my farfella quilt squares from filminthefridge -- too much fun! that's after i go home and feed my fluffers (rescued bichon frise's), eat lunch (fresh tomatoes with cottage cheese, olive oil and sea salt), take a little nap outside in my chaise on the deck(while the weather is still nice), walk the dogs individually, and turn on the grey's anatomy season premier. oh, and throw in a load of laundry. just a few things . . .

Hi, I'm Suzanne in Ohio. Today I'm wrangling my moody 10 month old and attempting my first hand-made chenille blanket!
Hi! I'm Kathryn and I'm from Ontario, Canada. Today I'm going to work on some patchwork potholders and who knows what else. I am trying to distract myself from thinking about my overdue baby (8 days over now) and keep on my feet to help gravity, instead of lounging, which is all I feel like doing! My toddler and I have already baked a chocolate zucchini cake, and later we'll make hats because she has birthdays on her mind (not related to the baby). We don't need a reason for a party!
Hi, I'm Vicki from Washington. I used to live in Wisconsin too!

I'm KC from Texas. I'm teaching my children today and then shuttling them to their extracurricular activities.
Ooh, that's a cheery view!! Hi, I'm Kelli and I'm from north Florida. Today I spent the morning cleaning my sister's new house. She and her husband closed on their home last night (their first home!) and so I spent the morning wiping down all of her cabinets and adding shelf liners in the bathrooms and kitchen while she's teaching school...til I ran out of shelf liner! So, I swept and mopped and came home to finish up a special Home Sweet Home pillow for their couch and MY new kitchen valance. This afternoon I'm taking my 6-yr-old to cheerleading practice...it never ends around here, and I'm so glad because my cup runneth over! :)

Hey Amanda Jean,
I enjoy this blog, and at the moment I'm stopping by to re-read your tutorial on binding. I'm on my way to making my first quilt ever for my daughter.
Today I will be preparing the fabric for curtains to match the quilt, and doing whatever else I can to keep my mind off the fact that I'm past my due date with my second child! The clock just keeps ticking.... :)

I am Denise from Glendale, AZ. Today I am working on Halloween and Thanksgiving table runners using fabrics from Moda's awesome collection.

I'm cooking up home-made meals for the freezer for my family (it's one of the nicest things I do for myself - a made ahead meal for crazy soccer practice / field trip / cross country meet days, filled with playing taxi mom, side-line cheer leader & picture taking for memories. :)

Hi my name is Karin and I live in Hunterdon County, NJ. I am about to take a cat nap on the couch before I have to wrangle four kids into the van to grab dinner and then get one of them to an early-evening doctor appointment (the only time dad can meet us there). I WISH I had the energy to be sewing right now, but alas I do not. Hoping to get back into the swing of things after a trip to the grandparents this weekend. Love your blog, it's the first one I check every day!

I am Tammy from London and I am always popping into your blog but have never been brave enough to leave a message - until now - amazing what people will do for a freebie! Anyway was going to work on my first ever jelly roll quilt tonight, but was far too tired from my little fella being up most of last night teething & having to keep two pre-schoolers entertained indoors all day thanks to the lovely damp British weather! So have been enjoying a nice cuppa & some chocolate biscuits (cookies to you guys)in front of the TV instead!

Such beautiful colors - I can only imagine how lovely a quilt these will make!
Today I am up to all the no-so-fun tasks of the week - house cleaning, bank, post office, and taking my baby to the pediatrician for vaccinations this afternoon. :( I hate that part of motherhood!
1427 comments so far = absolutely phenominal, although we shouldn't be surprised considering it is a lovely giveaway!
I'm known as Wendz and live in Yorkshire, UK. Sadly, quilting has taken a backseat the last few days as we have high levels of staff that have caught a bug at work so those of us that are ok are putting in extra hours in the nursing units. Our postman has delivered a much wanted package of Nicey Jane and so tomorrow you will find me plotting, cutting and sewing with a smile. Oops, also haven't blogged for a week or so :(
