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.

Im Madi from Vegas and I am cleaning today...now that is exciting no? well it will have to come after i finish claring out google reader - so it could be a while ;o)
I'm Amy from Arizona. I JUST finished a ginormous zig-zag quilt. So today I will probably rest. :)
That looks good enough to eat! I am Adrienne from Washington. I am cleaning house and homeschooling my four little ones today. Hoping that our fifth makes her appearance today. Today would make a great birthday, don't you think? ;) 80rose@gmail.com
I'm Lauren from Louisiana. I'm trying to crochet a lavender cloche while caring for my three kids (my oldest is 4!). I have to drivie my hubby to and from work (since his brakes aren't working and we are down to one car).

I'd rather be quilting! :) Thanks for the giveaway.

Hello, my name is Elaine. I have a pile of blocks I am trying to make a quilt from, but the love is not there! I am avidly watching ID channel but need to get dressed soon, I think. I also need to get away from the computer...thank you, Elaine
I'm Char in western Montana. Fall cleaning starts today with NPR for accompaniment. Just finished crocheted baby booties and a hat for a gift and plan to spend some time wavy-line quilting a hippo quilt for the same baby. Sporadic rain here, we've had a wet summer so NO FOREST FIRES this year, hallelujah!
Hi. I'm erin from Maryland. Today I'm working, but tonight I'm watching some TV while working on a new niece's gift. It's a play mat and I've never done one so I'm kinda nervous. Good luck me. erinmalia at gmail.
I'm Becky. Right now I'm at work, but tonight I plan to finish my first ever quilt. This is, of course, a huge joke, because even with the lousy job I've done so far, and even though it is a tiny quilt and uses very large pieces of fabric, it is just unreasonable to finish a quilt in three days. Really. But I'm going to try. I "just" have the binding left.
Monica in Texas here...all is quiet here. The hubs is at work and I'm sitting here watching a movie and trying to finish piecing my postage stamp quilt.
I'm Lauren from North Carolina. I'm on my lunch break at work, but looking forward to attaching the binding to my quilt for a wedding gift tonight so I can finish it!
I'm Karen from Shakopee and I need to do a bit of laundry and such this morning so I can sew after lunch...(accompanied by my 4 year old that thinks everything I sew should be ORANGE!)
Tracy from Michigan - checking in over lunch break at work. looking forward to burgers on the grill tonight followed by knitting guild with rocky road brownies!
I am finishing up my first real quilt, with pointy 8-sided stars to boot. Almost finished with the top, then get to baste/quilt. Would love those colors for my next project. Erin
My name is Kate. And I'm working at my job (which I do love!) and also thinking about lovely things I can make (like duct tape wallets tomorrow with the youth I work with)!
I am Janette from Virginia. I am getting ready to sign and send away the nine-patch floral quilt that I just finished to my sister who will be married on Saturday. It is a beautiful day, so, first I think I will go take the dogs for a walk. :)
Hi, I'm Kelly from Kentucky. I am at work right now, but I would rather be home. I've been making hardcover book cases for Kindles lately, but I have a few quilts on my crafty to-do list!
I am Sasha, at the moment I ams in Finland in a remote country house with nobody around for miles. I finished my first quilt couple of days ago and at the moment am struggling with my first dress - how on earth I will manage to attach sleeves? I don't know. One great thing - by boyfriend is staying with me, trying to finish his eternal PhD project, I can hear his typing now. The night is slowly approaching.

i'm kelly from los angeles currently (my husband's in the air force, so it's always hard to answer that question). i'm up to laundry, laundry, and more laundry. i'd like to get some sewing done, but i don't know if it'll happen.

Hi! I am Monica and I am originally from IL, but I am currently living in Italy (where I have YET to find a decent quilting fabric store. Grrr...).

I'm Erica from the Yukon, and I'm at work. During my lunch hour, and before the Council meeting tonight, I'll be quilting a quilt for a friend's little boy.

I'm Sara from Indiana. I just picked up my daughter from preschool, and we're going to have peanut butter and jelly on hot dog buns (guess who forgot to buy bread at the store this morning).
sarasoelberg@yahoo.com
I'm Becky from Alabama. I'm working on finishing the embroidery on a baby daygown because I will not start another project until the last button is on it. I have a guest room bed with 8 projects all stacked up and ready to start. One at a time, hopefully. Those bright fabrics are beautiful and would join right in with my stacks. beckwin@gmail.com
I'm Dian and I'm for Arizona. Pretty much everything I sew now a days is for our little soccer player who is due in December. (which happens to be our first) I love to sew because it is my stress reliever.
I'm Amy from Georgia. Today I'm trying to get motivated to tackle the many items on my to do list... yet here I am online wasting time entering giveaways. Oh but it'll be worth it if I win, right? :) Thanks for the opportunity.

HI I'm Heather from Airdrie, AB, Canada. Today I am sipping coffee while I should be cleaning... Then my friend Erin is coming over and we are going to quilt! She is new to quilting, and my goal is to turn her into a quilting addict like me :-) We had our first snow fall this morning (covering only the rooftops and not the ground thankfully). Fall/winter is here... Yucky!! Perfect day to quilt I must say however ;-)

Hi I'm Jodie from Ocala, Florida. I am working on client photo session, but I take a break every now in then to look at my Google reader. Wishing I had some time soon to sew. Will finish work, pick up kids, do homework, head to football practice, then cheerleading practice, then home at 7:45 cook dinner and do it all over again tomorrow. But one difference is tomorrow is my Birthday, yeah another year older. The years are going by to fast and soon I won't have anyone to take to practice.:( thanks for the giveaway, love following your blog and was sad when you were gone.

Hi there! I'm Shannon from Alabama, although I was born in St. Louis. I'm trying very hard to concentrate at work today after my very first ultrasound this morning!! I'm 9 weeks pregnant with our first baby and I am just elated that everything went well at our appointment today. So instead of being able to focus on getting some work done, I'm browsing my favorite blogs with a blissful, goofy smile on my face. :)

This is so much fun!
Hello, I’m Nicolette and I live in The Hague, The Netherlands. Today we have Prinsjesdag (Day of the Princess) which means the opening of a new year of Parliament. Today I worked on a powerpoint presentation for my husband’s firm.
I hope to assemble my quilt-top for the fat quarterly quilt-along tonight and in order to get some fat burned I hung all the quiltblocks downstairs and take each row upstairs to sew them together. I have 10 rows of blocks, so I hope it helps a little!
Thanks Amandajean for a chance to win some gorgeous solids!!
Hi Amanda Jean, I'm Rebekah from Utah. I'm sitting at my day job "working," but daydreaming of the moment when I can just be - just me, my fabric, my machine and my imagination. rgold0617[at]hotmail.com!
Good Afternoon
I am Jane from Nova Scotia, it is a beautiful autumn day with lots of wind and I am going to take my Shih Tzu pups George and Gracie for a walk. Hopefully to blow the cobwebs out and reinvigorate me. It is too nice to stay inside and sew.
I'm Laura and I'm in Indiana. I'm at work today, and I have book club tonight. I didn't finish the book because I couldn't get into it, so i feel bad about going to the meeting. Last night I started on a Sister's Choice quilt.
I'm Katie, in Texas. I am working today. :( But, I will be working on a quilted bench cover tonight. It is to cover the bleachers for a cheerleading squad.
Thanks for the chance!

Hi!! I am Kristi from Minnesota. Today while my little one napped, she also has a cold, I cleaned up the mess in our bedroom while also listening to Pandora!

Salutations from Regina Graves, Alvarado, Texas. Dropped the girls off at school, fed the FFA project, fought traffic, finally arrived at work and am working the job that pays the bills. I always manage to "sneak a peek" at one of my favorite blogs. Hope you have a wonderful day!!!
I am Tasha from California. I have a friend coming over any minute to craft me. How lucky is that? It is foggy and chilly this morning and that just makes me one happy girl.

Hello! My name is Cammie. I am from Lehi Utah. Today I am in California with my 3 boys (4 and under) and enjoying the beach.

Hi, I'm Terry from Ohio and I love the colors of those fabrics! I'm busy today doing household stuff but I hope to do some stitching later on my Gardener's Journal quilt blocks. It's a beautiful sunny almost fall day here in Ohio. Thanks for the giveaway! :0)
Hi! I'm Lucia and I live in the Dallas metroplex. I wish I was quilting today. Instead I am cleaning the house before the cleaning ladies get here (that doesn't seem right, does it? I guess I'm not cleaning so much as putting all of the toys away and tidying up). I have three little girls and my oldest two are at preschool right now, so it's the perfect time to sew/quilt since I only have the baby with me. But, I didn't get the cleaning done yesterday like I had hoped. Thanks for a fun giveaway! I love rolls of color. :)

Hi. I'm Melissa from Nashville, TN. I am schooling my son and working on some Halloween gifts today. I have NO solids except for white and natural, so I would love some solid colors to work with.
Hi, it's Michelle from Southern California. I've got two hours to myself today, and I'm trying to settle on something to work on for the Kids Clothes Week Challenge... those tissue paper patterns are soooo intimidating!
Oh - I would love to win a jelly roll ~ it'd go perfect with the honey bun I ate for breakfast :-)
I'm Tracy from Arkansas and learned to quilt from YOU (thank-you soo much!) Today, I made a maternity ruffle skirt for my daughter and might get to work on a few blocks for my paintbox quilt. One of my boys turns 12 today, so most of my focus for the day is on him :-) Hope your boy feels better soon!

Hi, My name is Karin Vail and I am from Skagit County, Washington. Today I am going to my mom's and she is going to take me to a glass blowing class for my birthday present (my birthday was on the 9th). I am feeling very lucky today even though last week I found out I am going to have to have surgery. I might even go buy a lotto ticket today and maybe I'll be lucky enough to win this wonderful jelly roll! I have some great ideas in mind for this if I do! I always have new quilt ideas mulling around in my head - many more than I can afford to buy fabric for!
I am Yvette from California. Unfortunately, I am at work. I would much rather be home playing with fabric.
I'm Lindsay from Indiana, and I'm at work. I'm a book editor, and today i'm reviewing a Table of Contents for a new reference book on geology. Riveting! I'm grateful that i work at a place that doesn't block certain internet sites, because I need to take lots of breaks so that my brain doesn't explode.
Lovely colours :)
I'm Teresa from Denmark. I am about to do something about my wardrobe, because it needs a little bit of organizing (or a big bit, perhaps :)
But there is a beautiful pile of colors on my cutting table - yellows, oranges, reds and purples - which, combined with beautiful bali-green in between all of them, will make a wonderful quilt-top...
Hi, I'm Candace from Central Florida and today I'm making chicken soup to take to my grand DIL. She and the baby are sick. I finished one quilt top today and hope to finish another, they only needed the last plain border.
Hi, I'm Pauline aka PTM from Canton Michigan and BBF to MamaSpark. Today I'm going to Belleville Michigan to take a mini 30's quilt I made and a small mermaid quilt that MamaSpark made. They will be in a silent auction at the quilt show this weekend. There is a 12 1/2" block contest that I have blocks to enter for a few of our guild members. I also have the paperwork for all the quilts MamaSpark and I are showing. I joined a weight loss challenge and I have a meeting to go to tonight. I did an hour workout this morning and tomorrow I may be walking a bit funny. It was a good class.
Thanks for the change to win the Kona jelly roll. I would use it make a quilt for Margaret's HC if I am the lucky winner. I'm going to make one for MHC if I win or not. That is already on my to do list. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...still hoping for my first win as a new blogger. I still struggle as to what to say. I never was a Chatty Cathy and I never will be. Also, I'm going to try to post on my blog today. lol
Hi! I'm Sandy from London, Ontario. Today I am mostly doing nothing b/c my baby kept me up all night! (-: But I WISH I was working on the quilt I making for my oldest daughter...*sigh*

I am Amy from Maryland & I am pretending to work... (Hey, it is my lunch break.)
I love these colors! I've been coveting one of these rolls for a while but I'm saving up for a new sewing machine so I can really quilt! My local store has one on clearance but I don't get my next paycheck until October 6th! arrgghhh!
Anyway, back to my "day job" as a children's librarian and grad school instructor.
My name is Jane and I live in Janesville in the great state of Wisconsin!
Today I am going to baste a baby quilt for my niece who is due in November but her shower is October 3rd.
I am channeling my inner Amanda Jean so that I can quilt it and bind it before then!
I am Michelle from Ontario, Canada. I am dreaming about quilting right now, so I don't get too stressed out about my job.
Hello my name is Charmaine and I'm having a happy/sad day. Today my daughter turns 18! I'm making chocolate chip cookies as a surprise for when she gets home from school. I will be making her a special dinner. This evening I'm going to work on my Picnic Parade quilt while I listen to the Phillies who are playing the Braves on the radio.
I'm from beautiful Bucks County in Pennsylvania. I'm hoping to work on my wool table runner with pumpkins and gourds (which I think it has about 50 of them!)
I'm Ricki from Dallas, Texas. Today I am trying to finish the binding on my newborn son's baby quilt. And maybe make a batch of tie-dye t-shirts if I have the time.
Hi I am Karen from Nevada. My hubby is on vacation this week, so today I am working on our office/spare room/craft closet. It's a huge mess -- needs some organizing. Also, may start a quilt top for my sweetie's doll blanket. Thanks for the giveaway - fingers crossed.
Let's try this again since blogger ate my comment ;(
I'm Joey, I'm an attorney in Utah. I should be billing at this moment, but I'm having a fit of pique and rebellion (which only I will pay for later). It's lovely and sunny, a true last days of summer day outside my window. And I'm looking forward to picking up my daughter after work with the newest Tinkerbell movie in hand to surprise her, having grilled cheese sandwiches with tomatoe soup and popcorn--so decadent for our movie watching school/work night
I'm Ann from Hampton Roads, VA. I'm currently at work, but thinking about the next three days I'll have at home with the painter. The sewing room will remain untouched for now, so I've got a block of uninterrupted time. Will bind one quilt, and who knows what I'll start on after that. Would love to dream of a project with this jelly roll!

Hello...my name is Allison and I live in Blacksburg, VA. It's been kind of a rough day--I'm in the first trimester of my first (!!) pregnancy and the baby is sure letting me know that he or she is there. I'm hoping to have enough energy when I get home to cut pieces out to make a purple stuffed monkey for my niece, who I'll be seeing this weekend! Thanks for the chance to win!
Hi! I'm Jody and I am in Georgia, right outside of Atlanta. Today I am working on Christmas presents for the grand babies. Your give away fits in perfect because I want to make them "I know my colors" books. This would be just the thing to make it easy and beatiful!
Thanks for the chance.

I'm Hayley from Kentucky. I just got home from spending a little time with my wonderful fiance.
I'm going to be crawling into bed soon because I work the night shift at the big UPS Ground Hub in Louisville. So for any of y'all in the Ohio Valley area expecting that brown truck today, your package may have been put on that truck by me! :P
When I wake up though, I will be working on the quilt I am giving to me little sister to take with her to college in January.
Forgot to put my email with the original post. It's hpeter5782@gmail.com

Hello,
My name is Sheree and I am from California. Today I will be working on the applique section of the quilt I am making for my niece. Most likely, I will also continue to watch The X-Files while I do so. It is a little chilly here today which is perfect for doing applique work under a quilt. Maybe I will even finish the binding on another quilt!
Hi Amanda, I am Lynn from North Carolina. Today I have taken a long walk, played tennis, food shopped, and now I'm trying to figure out how to go to my son's baseball game and my daughter's tennis match at the same time, oh and have dinner ready despite that. I'm off to google cloning.

Hi, I'm Lisa from the San Francisco bay area. I'm reading quilting blogs instead of cleaning the house. I'm looking forward to my quilting bee this afternoon and to working on my hexagon lap quilt (2" hexes) that's recently started looking like a quilt instead of a pile of hexagons. I have to part with a wonderful polka dot fat quarter - at least it's a good cause - a gift for my friend Angie. Happy birthday Ange!
Hi. I'm Lisa and I'm from Rhode Island. I'm at work today but tonight I hope to start handsewing the binding down on a baby quilt that I'm finishing up. The baby was just born this past weekend so it needs to get done!

Hi, I'm Sarah from Brighton in the UK. Today has been a beautiful blue sky hazy autumn sun kind of day and I have been teaching all day in a stuffy air-con broken down IT suite!
I'm now going home to try and sew the top together that I started last night but stopped when one sleeve appeared alarmingly longer than the other!
Alternatively, I might just have a little hexagon moment!

Hi Amanda
My name is Donna. i live on Canada's capital city, Ottawa. It is raining outside, so i don't mind that it's cold, gloomy and raining. the rain held out on my lunchtime walk, so that's good. I am planning on working on a baby quilt I started on the weekend, tonight, after the girls are tucked into bed. I'm using a jelly roll of rainbow solids and polka dot fabrics, following (loosely, I'm so behind) fat Quarterly's Quiltalong. But that's not until much later. First work. Back to the report of the meeting I attended last week! I can be reached at kindredcrafters (at) gmail (dot) com
I'm Annie, in Pennsylvania. And I am looking for a babysitter for tonight, so my husband and I can go to a meeting, and dinner.
hello, my name is Mandy L. from Saratoga Springs, NY. We just finished up lunch post-pre-school, and now I'm wondering if today is the day we officially drop our nap. And trying not to freak about how I will now not be doing much project-making if that time is gone. Boo!
I'm Julie from Sonoma County, California. It is pretty foggy this morning, or "froggy" as my daughter would say. My daughter is 3 and just started school this month. She is going to start using a "big girl bed" and I would love to make her a special quilt for the occassion!

Hi there! I'm Molly from a tiny, little town in New York. I'm at work right now (shhhhh .....) but I'm thinking about finally getting the sashing on my sampler quilt that I made the blocks for this summer. I've got the pieces all cut and I'm ready to sew, sew, sew when I get home. I mean AFTER I get dinner done and cleaned up, walk the dog, and do laundry that is!!
I'm Michelle from northern NY and today I'm curled up on the couch with my dog and feeling sick, watching old X-files episodes on Netflix instant and trying to finish test knitting a pattern for someone. Plus it's all gloomy and rainy out so maybe I'll take a nap.
I'm Meg from Maine! I'm currently student teaching, so that's what my day is like every day! I do have a doctor's appointment, which is a drag, but probably necessary.
Hey!
My name is Mia from Germany (living near Munich), after a confusing Day with about 60 children and a lot of paperwork, im going to write an email to my boss (share my fun with her... haha! *g*) and wait for dinner. Hopefully i'll be fit enough to go on quilting my first quilt and maybe continue with sewing the surprise-quilt for my "Wikinger" (only if he goes to sleep early enough. it's supposed to be a christmas present.) while listening to "Beat the Reaper" by Josh Bazell.
Have a nice day!
Mia

Who can say no to a giveaway, and solids at that?! :-)
I'm Liz, I'm in Massachusetts.
I had one of my two brand-new preschoolers home from school on his fourth day. Hooray for the germ factory, huh? Now, thankfully, both kids are (I think) sleeping.
Before I sit down at my sewing machine, I have to rip out the most recent strips from the round-and-round quilt-along, because I compensated IN THE WRONG DIRECTION for my seam allowance, and now it's ridiculously off. Crapola. I'm off to have fun with my seam ripper and SIXTY little seams. So sad! :-)
I'm Debbie from Seattle. I have to work today! But when I get home, I'll be embroidering woodland creatures on napkins for my daughter's baby shower(!) AND sewing the binding on a big ol' quilt for my son-in-law's birthday. I MAY glance at my pile of hexies, but it will probably only be a glance....
Hi I'm Mary from Lake Tahoe, CA. It is starting to get cold and wintery here. I am working from home today with my new 3 month old little one. She is fighting taking a nap right now.... Sooner or later she is going o have to give up the fight.
I'm Anna from North Carolina and today I am babysitting for my grandbaby. I brought some applique to work on while she naps. It's a beautiful sunshiney day in eastern NC.
Hi, I am Pat B from East Central Minnesota and the sun is shining. Nothing is better than that right now. I am on a break from work at the moment. When I am finished, I cannot get to my sewing machine right away as tomatoes are waiting to be canned.
I am Mandy from Tennessee. I've been gone all morning and am just sitting down for a little bit before having to leave again=( Hopefully I'll be able to sew some this evening. Those colors are beautiful, thank you!

Hi - I'm Kris from Missouri and I'm trying to get my 3 year old out of the house to go buy glue sticks so he make a collage for pre-school! The only way I can get sewing done today is sit him in front of the TV and I try not to do that - esp when the sun is shining and it's not so hot out. Thanks for the chance.
I'm Andria from Salt Lake City. I am working on tax returns today for the October 15th tax deadline. I'm wishing I was home and able to quilt.
Hi, I´m Anja from Germany.
It was a lovely weather today with the smell of fall-soon-to-come in the air.
A shame I didn´t had much outdoorsy time today. But my longtime disregarded Frolic charmpacks called my name and sooo I had to go to cut and sew them instead of sitting in the garden after work.
Lovely giveaway, you are very generous!
So I´m off for a crafty evening with some friends (not really creative, as I was asked to re-stuff some dearly loved soft toys *sighhh*).
Love,
Anja
Oh hurray! I'm Kirsten from Arizona, and my mother in law just called and offered to pick up my 1 year old so I can have a couple hours of sewing time! She is pretty much the best! So, I am going to go finish quilting what's under my sewing machine :)
lovely!!!
my name is anna from canada. :) northern alberta.

thanks for the chance!

Hi, my name is Janet and I'm from South Dakota. I had the stomach flu over the week-end and I'm still struggling to get my stomach back to normal. I have a dental appt this afternoon, but before I can leave the house I need to bathe the dog who rolled in something outside this morning that is so very smelly I can't stand him. On the plus side I made 2 bowtie blocks this morning just the way Karen showed us how on Stash Manicure. They turned out awesome and I cut some more of my scraps into 3" blocks for some more. What a fun comment for a fun jelly roll. :)
Ooooh - so pretty. I'm Jess. I'm hanging out with my daughter in this lovely weather. I live in VA.
