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!
Here’s a little peek at the goodies I’ll be giving away for Giveaway Day! (Yes, that’s Aurifil that you are spying!)
But FIRST -I want to tell you WHY you want to follow my blog and read it every time I post!
My Quilts
photo taken by Karmen Lindner Photography
I tend to make quilts that don’t follow any typical guidelines. I’m pretty sure that my style is that of ‘Free Range Quilting’. (and yes – I made that style up). I do what I want, with what color, fabrics and patterns I want – and they are definitely never boring!
Project QUILTING
Project QUILTING is a challenge I run on my blog. A typical season of Project QUILTING goes 
from January through March each year. A challenge goes up on a Sunday and you have ONE week to make and finish a quilt that fits that challenge! Since Project QUILTING began in 2010 – 1,163 quilts have been started and finished during the week of a challenge!
This year I’m running a special ‘Off Season Challenge’ – Focus Through the Prism. It just started this month and there’s still time for you to join in the fun – just head over to HERE – to find out more about the challenge! If the week deadline I talk about above scared you– don’t worry! You get a month to start and finish your quilts!
I made my television debut on PBS with ‘Nancy’s Corner’ – a portion of the show ‘Sewing with Nancy’ this past September. I had the pleasure of talking to her about Project QUILTING and why it’s been such an inspiration to so many!
Patterns and Tutorials
I love to share with you patterns and tutorials throughout the year as I come up with fun and new ideas! These can be found on my Craftsy Pattern Site! They are often initially free so be sure to follow me and not miss a thing! After a certain time period I do put a cost onto the patterns but I promise it’s completely reasonable!
Three of my most popular patterns are:
Dresden Neighborhood
Let’s Go Fly A Kite
Creative Fun
There’s always something creative going on in my world – most of the time quilts. But this summer I’ll be posting about the transformation of a boat that we buried in our yard before last winter. We’ll be updating it, painting it and making it into a fun, safe place for kids to play in this Fall at our Apple Orchard. I can’t wait to see what ends up happening to it!
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!…

I've actually been enjoying teaching my kids quilting. But we also made a paper machie R2D2 which was fun

I like to do crafts that we can use in imaginative play. We make simple costumes (masks, capes, etc), flags, and various play weapons.
I tend to quilt with gray or blue.
My daughter and I sew together often and we even started a kids swap since she was jealous of all the cool stuff I got in the mail lol!
Since I do not have any children of my own, I am helping my nice quilt. I love the color blue and use this color a lot, sew it seams. Thank you for being a part of the SMS giveaway day and for being so generous with your giveaway.

Drawing is always fun to do with children! It never goes out of style!
We draw pictures and add pictures to write silly stories 🙂
My 6 year old granddaughter has her own embroidery project in my project bag. Her mommy prefers that she stitch when I am with her so that the needle doesn't end up lying around for her little brother to find. That's just fine with me. I love teaching her.
We like doing collages with all my fabric scraps!

I like to do "messy arts" with my nieces and nephews. Finger painting, hand molds, play dough. Basically anything their parents wouldn't let them do at home. Their eyes just light up.

I live in a Florida retirement community and don't have access to children, and my grandchildren all live too far away, but I do send them things to be creative with and show the older two things online to spark their creativity. The little ones are too young yet. I love color and no color is off-limits to me, but I do gravitate to the dusty aquas and lime greens lately.
I already like you on FB.
Although my children are adults , the things I love to do with kids craft wise are making with pipe cleaners, making with felt, making with beads, making with fabric (including stamping etc on fabric). So many fun things.

My kids love to paint. I think this summer I am going to get some canvas looking fabric that drapes well, gather up all of our old paint cans from interior painting, and have them go all jackson pollock on the fabric. Then use the fabric to make a ball gown. What do yout hink?

Weaving! Kids love it. It uses up all the yarn ends and if it's too wonky, felting the finished product works wonders.

No kids around me, sorry 🙂 But I love red, the brighter the better
I don't have kids to do projects with so my fave color to use is grey
Since my grandson is only 22 months I want to try finger painting in a bag! And maybe we'll play with scraps.
I wish I had a child that liked to do art projects but he has zero interest. But he does like driving his cars on my cutting mat while I'm sewing! My favorite color to use right now is aqua. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'm a Mema now, and making homemade play dough is the BEST 🙂

I love to color.

I love to do free drawing projects with kids. When I'm a camp counselor each summer, I end each night by having my girls draw what their day was like (I provide journals, pens, pencils, markers, etc). I love how they express themselves and am always surprised by what they draw. My favorite was when a girl drew lines all the way down the page in different widths and colors to express how she was feeling that day and the different activities we did (eg. large blue = happy in the pool, multicolored lines for fun at craft time). Thanks for a great giveaway!
my favourite quilt-fabric-colours a turquoise, dark red and purple.
thanks for the giveway!
For the ages of your daughters, the woven potholders. The potholders can be woven or stitched into doll blankets, doll bags, doll sleeping bags. 24Tangent@gmail.com
New follower on Bloglovin'. Favorite colors orange/yellow and purple. 24Tangent@gmail.com
Lol, this is a good question. I have two girls and the crafting bug has completely bypassed them. The only time I can get my kids into my craft room is when there is a school project due and I have all the supplies. I have always been a crafter. From cross stitching, to knitting, to scrapbooking. I love it all and here I am with two girls who would rather watch Teen Wolf than spend a day in the craft room. Although my eldest has just announced she wants to learn how to knit. So maybe there is hope for me yet 🙂
I like to do different crafts with them. I think my favorite is painting and drawing. I receive your email. sonrisa32 @ yahoo.com
Well, I don't have any little kids at present, but I love to read them books. Little ones from a day care walk past my office every day and I smile and wave at them. Does that count? thank you, peterstankovich@comcast.net
I teach an art n craft class at church on Wednesdays and at a small private school once a month – I love to see the kids make fun projects that they can gift or play with. We are doing flowers for mom tonight.
We like to get the Mod Podge out & glue sparkly things, beads, buttons, ribbon, fabric scraps etc to card. If you use enough glue it all sticks but it might take a week to dry 🙂
I love drawing with my kids
I'm lucky enough that I get to craft with kids at my job sometimes – you can't beat using paper and things to stick on it in my experience! Making cards for mothers is usually a hit too! x

Love teaching liittles to do any type of stitching. Have taught 4-year-olds to needlepoint and to "criss cross" stitch, as well as others. Actually love any type of creative activity with them. As my 4-year old great niece would put it, love "arting" with kids, and "making stuff" of all sorts.

My girls are teenagers now but not long ago we took some clear plastic from containers (has to be a certain number grade) and we put them in the oven and made jewelry. We colored some and some we left clear. It is like the old Shrinky Dinks. It was so much fun, and I would Definetly do this with younger children also. dawnm1993(at)gmail(dot)com

Hi, I like to do quilling art with children!! They love it <3
this is my email crierre85@gmail.com
I love doing art projects with my children. They specially enjoy sewing (my daughter is sewing a sock bunny) and painting fabric. Clay or water color are also great options. Thanks!
I follow you via Facebook. Thanks!
I like to make pom-poms with hair ties attached! Even young children grasp it pretty easily!
Art projects with children, hmm…. I was my son's Cub Scout den leader until he moved up to Boy Scouts, so we did lots of them. One of their favorites was whittling soap to make figures. My son likes to help me pick quilt fabric (kid you not, he's got a good eye for color) and we like decorating cakes and cookies. Generally building anything and decorating it is right up there, too. My email is linda_collum@hotmail.com

I pinned a quilt. Very nice! 🙂
I am teaching the grandkids to sew, but by far they seem to have the most fun making a mess with all my craft paints. We love to get out all the paints and just create whatever we find interesting at the moment. Crafting has always been a big part of our lives!

I always like cooking with little ones! monique.belmer at gmail dot com
Not an art project, but I love baking with my daughter! She is getting old enough to start doing more art projects though, so I guess I am going to have to get more creative than crayons and play-doh! 🙂
I love to do simple crafts with my nieces and nephews; things like yarn woven sun catchers, loom pot holders, decorating cookies, etc. Thanks for the chance to win!

Just drawing, painting, and coloring with the kids at the moment. Looking forward to more as they get older.
I love to sew with my grandchildren. Thanks.
I had boys and when they were younger, they were interested in sewing and hoop weaving hats and such. Both my sons ended up making projects like patchwork mini pillows. In fact my 16 year old still sleeps with an awful pillow he pieced and stuffed himself. It has been "mended" many times by him and it's a mess, but I love it. Camille@focus20.com
We do all kinds of drawings with our grandsons in crayon, pencil and markers. Someday I would like to transfer some of their drawings to fabric.

Cut paper collage is a great project to do with kids.
I have a "practice" granddaughter who comes to play once a week. We color, paint, use glue and scissors, and play with fabric at times. She loves art!
Water color painting or getting a fabric pen, letting them draw on a tshirt and then sewing, embroidering what they drew on the shirt
I like every color of the rainbow, but I do tend to lean towards fuchsia, turquoise or aqua with touches or yellow or orange.
I like to draw, paint, cut, glue, knit or sew, but please no glitter! 😉

My favorite color to use in a quilt is yellow. Some form of yellow or gold seems to end up in most of my quilts. Thanks for the chance to win. Those are some great colors!
I like colouring in. It's so sweet how they don't feel constrained by lines or what color something 'should' be.

I am hoping to teach my grandkids to sew. Right now they like to play with zippers and scraps.

I like to do upcycling projects with my kids. We've made snowmen out of socks, rice and buttons and we've made little winter hats out of toilet paper rolls and scraps of yarn.

I enjoy making pillow cases with children. The straight seams are easy and they have something to use or give as a gift. Because it's a quick project, I've found even children as young as 5 don't lose interest.
My child is now 27 – we still enjoy stamping and card making together! When she was little I tried to avoid glitter if at all possible, lol!
Been awhile, but I love to do tie dye with a group of kids, they are always so excited with their results!
I follow you via email!
My favorite color to use in quilts is gray and white as background colors. I am doing one quilt with gray background.
I love to color/paint/draw/stamp/cut&glue with my 4 year old and hope to add some sewing into the mix next year. He loves the things Grandma and I have sewn for him, so I'm hoping that will turn into learning interest in the future 😉
My favorite art project to do with kids is dropping and mixing food dyes into a cornstarch/water mixture. More of an activity than a project, but it is really fun!
I love to teach children to sew or knit : )
My son would like to learn some sewing with me
Unfortunately, my nieces and nephews are all too far away to craft with very often, but I love to draw and color with them when I get the chance!

My kids are grown now but when they were small we played with many craft projects. Although I was never able to interest them in using my favorite tool, the sewing machine.
I love to use the color of blue in quilts, it is such a beautiful color.

I love to craft with kids.

You make beautiful quilts, you have beautiful children, and this is a lovely blog. I love doing crafts with my grandchildren. Last summer I had them step into paint and walk across a long piece of paper to make a foot-print for me to frame and hang. We did the same thing with hand prints. In fact, when my own kids were young, we put handprints on the walls of our stairway hall and it was the hardest part of the house for me to leave when we moved out! We are also constantly making fairy houses these days, the Littles love them!

My kid is a bit too small for art projects yet but I like to sit her on my knee while I sew sometimes!
My daughters are never happier than when they have paint brushes in their hands.
love painting with children or anything with glue
My kids love doing anything with paint but to be honest I like the art projects that are a little less messy! Thanks for a fun giveaway.
I enjoy coloring and finger painting.
I don't have any kids, so my favorite color to use in quilts right now is probably orange. It changes often though!

My Grandsons aren't big on art except sidewalk drawing and cookie frosting.
Well, I teach first grade, so while we aren't allowed to do alot of art projects in class any more, I try to merge a little art into our science curriculum. This year we've enjoyed sun prints and vegetable tie dye!
I don't have the opportunity to do crafts with children but I love the color blue in my quilts!! kathrie@yahoo.com
Art projects for kids depended on age, gender, what materials I had on hand. My fall back for toddlers was homemade playdough.

My daughter is 3 and I wanted her to love coloring and painting…but instead she likes to make little worlds out of fabric and felt…she likes to think of shapes or ideas for me to cut out and then she creates worlds and stories with them.

I used to love to let my kids play in my fabric scraps and then I'd sew them together in the way they laid them out. Now I'll help them cut out an applique shape with them and help them big stitch it to a sweatshirt etc.!

As well as teaching my own daughters to sew, I have been enjoying teaching young girls how to sew for the past two years. It is very rewarding.

I have a niece and nephew, no children of my own yet but love to make summer birdhouses with them! Get a plain wood birdhouse and have them paint it all up.
ps my email is lmschweitzer@gmail.com
Finger-painting! The best kind is actually on windows (or sliding glass doors) with a flour or shaving foam based paint. The glass cleans up surprisingly easy and the focus is on the experience of painting rather than having a stack of paintings that you feel that you have to keep since your kids made them. kcarlson1152[at]hotmail[dot]com
I like you on Facebook.
The favorite is dependent on whichever season we're in. We just painted wooden bird houses for 2 door wreaths. Other times it's Baking, crafting, science experiments, coloring, playdough, they are all fun and ways to visit while crafting.

Favorite color seems to be brown, but that may be more to do with my Gram and the quilt shop lady than my own preference (I don't like brown outside of quilting, but it always ends up in my quilts and it does look nice).

One of my favorite activities in the fall with kids is making a leaf print using an ink roller, acrylic paint, water color paper, and leaves. Afterwards, the kids write a poem on it using a sharpie. Stunning!
