Yeah! It is Sew Mama Sew’s Giveaway Day’! I LOVE Giveaway Day! (well..technically week). It’s a great opportunity to take some time, check out bloggers, and of course – win some goodies in the process!
Before we get to the giveaway I want to tell you WHY you want to follow my blog and read it every time I post!
My Quilts
I tend to make quilts that don’t follow any typical guidelines. I love to have fun with colors, prints, and mixing the unexpected. I recently posted about my ‘African Impromptu Quilt’.
And I’ll be sharing the whole story behind the latest quilt I finished ‘Novitiate Nebula’ later this week. Trust me…this is just the start. I hope to have my Fairy Tale/Aurifil Sampler quilt finished in the next month or so…I can’t wait to take the final pictures of that one! I can pretty much guarantee that comments about my quilts will not be “It’s boring” or “I’ve seen that before.”
Project QUILTING – a fun quilting challenge that gets posted every other week. I am currently between ‘seasons’ of Project QUILTING but I am posting a monthly ‘off season’ challenge to keep everyone motivated and inspired to make a quilt each month. Also – it’s time to sign up for the PQ4Me Quilt Retreat weekend coming in 2015! It’s going to be an amazing weekend that you’re not going to want to miss this!
I’ll be making by television debut on PBS with ‘Nancy’s Corner’ – a portion of the show ‘Sewing with Nancy’ in September of 2014. I had the pleasure of talking to her about Project QUILTING and why it’s been such an inspiration to so many!
To read more about what it is check out the ‘Project QUILTING’ page.
I never say no to a challenge – this one’s not related to Project QUILTING but you’re going to want to read about it – the Farm to Fabric Challenge.
Quilt Alongs –
Two years ago I hosted my very first quilt along – Home Sweet Home followed by ‘My Favorite Block Quilt Along’.
This year I switched it up a bit and I’m sharing a block tutorial every week for the entire year – yup, 52 blocks! Of course – there’s a twist…you’ll have to stop HERE to see what it’s all about! I’ve already shared 19 Block tutorials so far this year – everything from a whale to a fox to a group of baby chickens!
PS. I’m still looking for guest block designers/bloggers…head over and see if it’s something you’d be interested in…
Hearts for Susie – Hearts for Susie is a little campaign I’m running to help raise awareness for Women’s Heart Health. You can read more on why I chose this as my mission HERE.
Family and Orchard –
I have three beautiful baby girls, a handy hubby and an apple orchard. You’ll get to hear more about our adventure’s throughout the year and for some reason it seems like we’re never lacking in adventure.
Alright… enough about me! Let’s see what I’m GIVING AWAY this week!…

We usually go on multiple bikes rides during the summer. Once my husband asked if I wanted to go for a ride to get ice cream. I love ice cream, of course I wanted to go. 40 miles later I got my ice cream, wait a minute….. 🙂 I got a large that day
I usually just go for walks in the woods. My budget can't fit in a big vacation right now.
I love to take my children on day trips to various attractions around town which we don't normally have time to visit. 🙂

Well it's not really that adventurous, but I like trying new things on the bbq during the summertime!
The most exiting part of our summer is to go to camp with 30 other families who has a child with liver illness, like my son has.

my email address is linked to my profile so I hope that's OK? I don't tend to have adventures during the summer, I work full time and don't have any kids so it's just like any other time of year for me! We might get one mildly sunny day over here in England, in which case I might put some factor 50 on and get my flip flops out!
We usually travel home to Canada for the summer! Otherwise, a lot of day trips 🙂

We try to go somewhere new with the kids every summer. This summer we may try a trip out of state.
Extracting honey, picking blackberries and backyard camping are as exciting as our summer gets!

Last summer I had the "adventure" of selling a house and moving into another house. I will not be repeating that this year. This summer I have graduated from college and am embarking on a new non-profit gig and starting my freelance business. I guess you could say that my favorite summer adventures are creating my new life and choosing new personal challenges.
This summer we have 2 family adventures planned – a drive up the western coast to the boarder (bottom to top of the USA) and then back down more central, visiting some parks – we love family road trips! and a week at the beach camping.

Aww my 13 year old daughter and I would love to win! We are teaching ourselves to sew and quilt and would LOVE to have these items. We are working on a quilt top now using the Moda Honeysweet Fabric but would love to have this to add as stash. Thanks so much!
I am blessed that my daughter and her husband and their 2 beautiful children allow me to tag along on their summer vacations. In return for my travel, I keep the kids for a full day and let the parents go off alone. It works out great for everyone!

As for summer adventures, I really love to take the kids and discover all the beaches on both sides of state and find the natural beautiful ones that are not touristy and crowded and just enjoy natural beautiful Florida!
So far it hasn't been too exciting – 6 years of pregnancies and having babies… but we usually try to go to the lake for a couple of weeks, hoping to get the kids into waterskiing and tubing and hiking as they grow!

These days my adventures consist of traveling to visit my grandchildren, but only in the winter. Summer here in Minnesota can't be missed. This year I'm looking forward to my youngest daughter, my granddaughter, and three furry grands spending a few months with me, which will probably be an adventure.

I love to go to Garner State Park to meet up with family (it is kind of a reunion) and go swimming. I also love to go to a brother's lake house for the same reasons. We try to make a trip to the beach every summer because I am a beach girl. 🙂

Now that the kids are grown and take care of themselves, we're able to go away for weekend road trips on our own schedule – not on theirs – it's wonderful, lol.

I am planning a big road trip from Winnipeg where I am now to Alberta (where I grew up) with 2 small children. Am I crazy? Probably. But it's going to be a summer adventure for sure! 😀
Wow my summer adventures. I have a very adventurous side. I have gone skydiving from 14,000 feet, I have fed stingrays in the Caymans (huh??), I have taken sunset snorkels with all sorts of marine like (what was I thinking), I have white water rafted in Costa Rica (just beautiful). I have braved the heavy traffic in Branson MO to enjoy its wonders. I took a trip through Napa & Sonoma valleys to wine country. I have enjoyed the Bijous and food of New Orleans.
In a short sentence (smile) I like to see and do for my summer adventures.
My favorite way to enjoy the summer months is to go in picnics or attend county fairs . Thanks for the chance at this great giveaway .

This summer we're going to be camping in Bug Sur and going on a second trip to Lake Tahoe for some water and hiking fun!
My kids are going to their dad's this summer, So I will be having a boring summer of work.

This summer will be a quiet one, spent mainly at home in the garden. But we will go out on day adventures, my son wants to go to the cheese factory again (Cheddar caves!), maybe we'll even go to the Jurassic coast, fossil hunting.
We don't usually do much that's exciting in the summer but this year we are doing something very exciting. We are going to Alaska for two weeks! I can't wait!
Thanks for the chance!
During the summer, we like to head to the beach or go camping and always detour to find a fabric shop enroute.

A week at the beach with lots of fun and adventure!
Since we have a boat, all our summer adventures involve boating! We always like to try and go somewhere we haven't been.

I like being with our 5 year old grandson. We generally get him for 3-4 weeks each summer and we take him to do fun things and then I make him memory books to cherish the rest of his life. He looks forward to the memory books arriving in the mail and then he tells his mom all about each photo and what we did. Spending time with him is PRICELESS of course.

We love visiting other states in this great country. This year it is off to the Tetons!
I do like to go to a state park or somewhere we haven't been before! And we work on the farm lol!
We like to do house swaps in nearby cities. We live in a lovely rural area so this usually works out great for everyone.
We don't do anything very exciting at our age but we do like to attend a couple Blue Grass Gospel Fests each summer.

Road trips! I love the excitement of a good road trip. Especially if your lucky enough not to have any kind of schedule. Stop when you want, go where you want……freedom!
I was really going to say, that just getting out of bed in the morning is an adventure, but had second thoughts about that one, so I guess, planting my veggie garden, along with making up hanging baskets and potting plants, going to flea markets, estate sales, garage sales and craft shows, is about as good as it gets at our age! Thanks for the giveaway.

No excitement here – just heading to the beach, movies, pool…
In the summer every year we take a canoe trip down the beautiful Spring River in Hardy Ar.
The only exciting adventures I go on during the summer are to the local quilt shops. Also, I'd love to know more about your hand-dying process. Have you done a tutorial or blog post about it? The colors are magnificent.

I love to swim laps – so any adventure that takes me to a pool is a good thing!
Hiking and flea markets and the beach ofcourse
My husband is newly retired, so I am looking forward to exploring the country around our town in his little sports car this summer, hopefully stopping at a few quilt shops along the way!
Going to the beach with my grandchildren. Thx for giveaway
We love to go biking, kayaking, canoeing, boating! Great fabrics!!
Summer is swimming and laying around in the sun! Yay! Thanks for the giveaway.
This year I am trying something new, I am going to a knitting retreat 🙂
I like to go anywhere where I can see animals, whether it's a zoo, aquarium or out in nature.
I just want to get in as much running, hiking and biking on trails as I can while the weather is nice.
I love to visit the UK during their summer (I do this often as my mum lives there) and visit as many castles as I can while I am there. Part of the adventure is figuring out how to get there on public transport! On my last trip I visited 5 castles……all wonderful!

We like to take the kids swimming and to the zoo.

We always go camping in a national forest, often at fire lookouts or guard stations. We have to pack everything in, even water, and we just hang out in the wilderness for a few days. It's heavenly!

I love hunting down great finds at flea markets and yard sales.
I love spending time out on the lake boating and wakeboarding. We also moved to a house up in the mountains last year and my twin boys are old enough to go out exploring with me now. That should be fun. 🙂
I love camping and hiking, but I sure miss the boating adventures from growing up!

Every July we go camping on San Juan Island where we watch for the Ocra whales!

I don't know what everyone else's versions of "exciting" are but I just love getting to be outside with my kiddos and we LOVE making it to the ocean!
I like to sew! psimpsonfamily@gmail.com
I am planning on a trip to Seattle. Never been up in the space needle.
I'm not real adventurous, going fishing with my DH on a new to me lake is about it. Finding a new quilt shop works to, but that's not just for summer! Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.

I live in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks so my husband and I spend time on our local rivers camping, kayaking and canoeing.

I really don't do anything exciting except stay home and most of my adventures involve trying to figure out new quilt patterns! I do travel a lot when I read though, cheap and inexpensive right? This summer will be a change of pace though, my cousin moved to California so I'll be flying there in July! Maybe take in a game show! Thanks for the giveaway!

Have not had many Summer Adventures, did have one great one drove cross country to family reunion 30+ years ago. I am looking forward to this Summer though, am doing a family trip to Vegas and another to Disneland. I have also just got into quilting and sewing and looking forward to doing lots of it in future.

I am not sure how "exciting" they are but my favorite summer adventures involve camping, hiking and fishing. Most times these activities are in very quiet remote areas–just how I like it. Of course there is always an EPP project along. Lovely hand dyes. Thank you for offering a giveaway.
Does sewing something on my list count as an adventure?
Last summer I had hip replacement surgery, and could basically only leave the house to go to therapy. So, this year, anything outdoors will be an adventure. My husband just got disability retirement, and we're hoping to start a home based business. My email is cdahlgren at live dot com.
Loving your hand dyed fabrics! Hope I get a chance to use them.

I like to go hiking and camping in the summer!
summer…. nose to the grindstone…. work, work, work…… winter is time to play…..
Since we live in Missouri and my family lives in New England and Dh's in Seattle, our summer adventures nearly always involve a trip to one coast or the other to visit family.
I go to the beach — it's an adventure in August when the jellyfish are out 😉
I love to go on adventures with my children. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.
