  1. Who doesn't love giveaways 🙂

    I enjoy seeing pictures of your sweet girls.

    I also enjoy your creative way of quilting and it inspires me to try more then just the traditional idea of quilting.

    Your tutorial are helpful.

    The challenges you create are fun and make me want to quilt even when I have no time to do so. They also help me think of different ways or things to make.

  85. It's great to get tips and know-how's from various blogs before starting on a new project; a sort of 'gen up' on all the info you might need. PLUS, you get to revisit the blog if you need to refresh the info you've collected

  89. I enjoy following your blog because your fabric choices are not at all what I would pick but you make it work and look fantastic. It forces me to try to think differently when I am picking fabrics for my own projects, your choices are bold and colorful and I think I can be too safe. Plus I love going to the apple orchard and seeing and hearing about yours makes me smile.

  93. Your blog is the right mix of quilting inspiration and personal stories for me. I love getting both halves of the bloggers life. You're doing a great job.

  97. Why do I follow your blog? All of the above. I very seldom see anything that I don't find interesting or funny or helpful. Keep doing what you're doing. P.S. If I'm lucky enough to win please draw a second name and give the book to another reader as I already have it.

  107. This is the first time I have visited your blog and it was because of te giveaway. After reading others comments and seeing what you have to offer I will be visiting more often. I also signed up for your newsletters. Thank you for your generosity with the giveaway.

  108. Wow! Now I have to like your blog! Very intriguing! What a great take-off idea from Project Runway! Currently I have a large back up of quilts to do and the new Mystery Quilt by Bonnie Hunter, but I sure will enjoy reading about what you all are doing. I love your different take on quilt blocks–most especially on the wedding ring quilt. Need to put it on my quilts-to-do list (probably after my Dear Jane.) Thank you for your generous giveaway!

  109. All of the above for sure. I enjoy visiting classy interesting blogs. My life is somewhat in shambles with little time at the sewing machine. Visiting blogs like yours helps keep the brain alive! Thanks,

  174. I love to visit your blog because I absolutely love your artsy scrappy colorful style! You put together colors and scraps in a way that no one else does, and I find your work very inspiring. (I haven't been able to achieve the same effects, but I'm hoping that if I keep visiting your blog, some of that style will eventually rub off on me! :)) Thanks for the incredibly generous giveaway. Your hand-dyes are gorgeous!
