i have 4 quilts started, one will be for my granddaughter, my little brother seems to really like one of them (so I might suprise him with it), one is for the guestroom my grandchildren use and the 4th is to use up all the scraps i've been accumulating. if i win the book i would give it to my oldest granddaughter (11) because she likes to sew with me when she stays here and is a very talented and creative girl.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a baby quilt for the daughter of a close friend. She is having a little boy in July.
ReplyDeleteI could always use more inspiration and I am always learning as I quilt.

I have never quilted (actually.. I have made rag quilts). But I would love to make a quilt for my baby daughter.
ReplyDeleteIt would be my first quilt and I would make it for a good friend who is expecting her second baby!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on two quilts right now, whichever one I finish first will be my first completed quilt. Right now they are both for me. When I have more practice I will start quilting for gifts for friends.
ReplyDeleteI want to make my first quilt ever, and I will make it for myself, probably for my son's room.
ReplyDeleteI've never made a quilt, but I have been wanting to try one. I'd like to make one for each of my kiddos.

ReplyDeleteThank you.
my next quilt is a gift for my sister it will be my 3rd quilt!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to quilting but want to make one for my grandma, who made several for me when I was young. She's moving into a nursing home later this year and needs some single bed blankets for her new bed.

ReplyDeleteI'm working on a quilt for myself right now, and the next one after that will be for my sister.
ReplyDeleteI've never made a quilt but have been wanting to try for some time, so this book would be the perfect place to start! I'd probably try making a quilt for my daughter as my first project.

I have made 2 quilts in the last two months (my first 2 ever). My next will be for daughter number 3.

ReplyDeleteI'm a brand spanking new sewer (3 weeks), but I would love to quilt. I want to make one for my baby girl and one for my mom.
ReplyDeleteOh, and my email is alyssamccain at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeletePretty new to quilting! Made my first small one for my niece to have tea parties on! Next one is for the family room.
ReplyDeleteMy current project is destined for my neice for her first birthday (unless I decide I love it so much I keep it!)
ReplyDeleteI've done small projects but n-ever a whole quilt. I'm planning to make ISpy quilts for my kids though.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently working on my first quilt - if it turns out well it will be a gift for a good friend.... not so well, will probably end up on my bed!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to start my first quilt, but it will be for my little boy :)
ReplyDeleteI pieced my first quilt top this winter, but haven't quilted it yet! I'm scared to take that step!
ReplyDeleteMy next quilt is for me and my family - to live on the couch. I'm in a quilt bee with friends and everyone is currently working on squares for my quilt - so exciting!
ReplyDeleteMy mom is a big quilter, but I have yet to do one, I have big plans to make one for my husband with his old shirts.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 quilts going right now at the moment. The plan is to make enough quilts for my family for Christmas this year. I was going to give each family a specific quilt, but I think I will just mail them all together and let them fight over their favorite. :p
ReplyDeleteI am working on my first ever quilt right now. My next one is going to be for my 6 month old niece. Don't tell, it's a surprise!
ReplyDeleteMy next quilt is my 1st quilt - I am just starting it! I have decided to keep it for me for snuggling on my couch while I am reading! :)
ReplyDeleteMy next quilt, which is my third one, will be a summer quilt for my 21 months son. Please count me in! Thank you so much for your generosity! samjerus[at]yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would love to make my first quilt for my six year old son, he is mad on trains and cars and things like that and I think he would LOVE something that I had spend time making JUST FOR HIM>
ReplyDeleteI would really like to make quilts for my little girls' beds. My baby will soon move into a toddler bed and we just moved to a new house so it would be so fun to make them special quilts for their little beds. I have never done anything but just alternating blocks of color so I really have no experience!

well, the only quilt I ever made was a simple skirt out of quilt! It turned out lovely, but I never had the nerve to do anything more difficult, But I'd like to try!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win

I"m working on one for my 2 year old. He has so many baby blankets, I thought it was time for a big blanket to go on his bed.
ReplyDeletemaisiesmom at gmail
I would like to be able to make some quilts for my three girls.
ReplyDeleteI've only made 2 quilts - but never "quilted them" - tied...
ReplyDeleteLooking to make another quilt for my daughter soon. :)
What a generous gift!
ReplyDeleteFor my son, he'll be off to college in two years and I need to start now so I can have it ready for him. So he'll think of me when he gets cold! (I hope!)
hootie364@gmail.com
My next quilt is one me and my daughter are working on to send to her pen pal, yeah um I need that book, I am just getting started.
ReplyDeleteMy frist and next quilt will be for my youngest daughter.
ReplyDeletemerlin the cat at gmail.com
I started a quilt about 10 years ago and right now it is an almost finished quilt top. I would love to start another one (perhaps twin bed quilts for my twin daughters), but I feel the need to finish this one first.
ReplyDeleteI would love this book as I haven't really finished my first quilt either. Only the top is finished and it is for myself.
ReplyDeleteYou can contact me via a comment on my blog or the email provided there.
:) If i win this would be my first ever quilt!
ReplyDeleteActually, I'd need the book first since I've never really quilted before but would love to try. First quilt would probably be a baby blanket for a friend due in the fall. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletejmhamlin826 AT yahoo DOT com
I have never quilted before and I'd love to make one for my son's bed.
ReplyDeletemy next quilt will be my first! so this book would be perfect! if all goes i'll give the quilt to my mother or grandmother =) thank you!
ReplyDeletechristinaleigh1@gmail.com
I guess you would count this as my 3rd quilt, but the the last one was small and may not technically count as a quilt. Right now I'm making a cowboy quilt with my 4-year-old. He's helping me embroider cowboy pictures that he drew. It's fun, but a long project. I could really use a book like this to help me along, as I have a lot to learn.
ReplyDeleteI have started a t-shirt quilt with my college t-shirts but I'm kind of stuck as to where to go next. This would be great for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently working on a quilt that is to be a wedding present for my high school best friend. I really hope she loves it!
ReplyDeleteMy FIRST quilt is for me and I've started it recently. I have practiced by making quilted placemats though, and they turned out great!
ReplyDeletei made some quilt blocks in the past
ReplyDeleteafter that i made a rag quilt
now im pregnant and would like to make a quilt for the new baby!
and a nice one for a change!!
I'm a wanna-be quilter. So I'm thinking my first quilt will be baby sized-- for my two month old. (although he'll probably be about 10 years old when I finish it!)
ReplyDeleteI'm working on my first quilt right now - I'd love to learn more.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a quilt for my dad that I hope to get done for Father's Day.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost finished making a quilt / picnic blanket for my nephews. They helped choose the fabrics and also help me "sew" by pressing on the pedal. Great memories.
ReplyDeletekareno369(@)hotmail(dot)com
I'm working on my first quilt now for my son. I'm not really sure if it'll be twin size or crib size. :)
ReplyDeleteMy next quilt is for a friend who will paint a portrait of my 4 year old. Thanks for participating in the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am just starting out with quilting...making my first one this summer. This would be wonderful!! Thank you for participating!!!
ReplyDeleteMy next quilt will be my first ever quilt. If it turns out ok I plan to hang it up as decoration in my home.
ReplyDeleteMy next quilt is going to be a baby girl quilt. I'm expecting #4 in September, and after 3 boys, I thought it just might be a girl. If not, I'll have my own little pink quilt. Count me in on your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready to make quilt #2 for my son. This book would really come in handy!
ReplyDeleteI've made quite a few quilts. Some for wedding gifts, some for baby gifts and of course some for our family. My current quilt is a quilt for my son.
ReplyDeleteI just started my first quilt on Sunday of last week. Only 12 more blocks (out of 36) to go! I'm loving it so far. And its staying right in my living room once I'm finished so I can cuddle up with it on the couch while watching tv and reading blogs.
ReplyDeleteI've never made a quilt, but I've been wanting to try. My first would be for me. Seems like everything I've made recently has been for someone else, so I think it's finally my turn. I really like the zig zag pattern.
ReplyDeleteI have never made a quilt and want to learn so this book would be great! I think the first quilts I would make would be for my kids.
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first quilt in a long while. It's been years, and I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteMy next quilt will be my first and it'll be for my daughter. I'm hoping to use pieces of her baby clothes...we'll see how it goes! I'd love the book!
ReplyDeletechicaschmica (at) gmail.com
Ha, this is so perfect! I am finally finishing my first quilt that I started before I ever had kids. And I am halfway done with my second quilt. I'm going to keep my first quilt and the second one I am making to take to Ethiopia.
ReplyDeleteI've been planning on putting together my first patchwork quilt this summer - for my boyfriends parents (his mother got me into sewing, and made me a beautiful one for Christmas!)
ReplyDeleteI've been planning on making (my first!) a quilt for my niece since it's a family tradition that everyone in my family get a quilt from my grandmother. Since she passed away years ago, I've taken up the task of continuing that tradition. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to start on a quilt or any pattern at all so this book will help out lots! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am 8. I am learning how to sew. I have been doing some embroidery stitches. My 6 year old brother is learning some too. I hope to be on the machine before the end of summer. There are pictures of both of us sewing together and of our projects on my blog. Further down in previous posts, I also have pictures of my family, mom, dad, 15 month brother and other brother and sister. We homeschool.
I am having a giveaway as well at
www.sewingsister.blogspot.com
and so is my mom at www.sewingwithtrudy.blogspot.com
I have a quilt project percolating in my head - a bedspread made from felted upcycled sweaters - and it would be so nice to make something for myself! I'd love this book since I am a beginning quilter!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity! Megan

I have never quilted before but I would love to make a quilt for myself to go with my newly painted bedroom. Thanks for the chance :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering this book. I am a new quilter and am in the middle of making 2 different quilts. I'm not sure who for - it will depend how they look when finished but either of my children are welcome to them.
ReplyDeleteI've got 3 quilts going right now. all the tops are done. i'm getting 2 of them professionally quilted (one is for myself and one is for a long-time girlfriend — they're matching!) and the third one I'm going to try my hand at quilting myself.
ReplyDeleteI used wonderland charm packs for the first 2 and the 3rd one is made from t-shirt scraps.
thanks for the opportunity!

I'm planning a quilt for two friends who are getting married, based on http://www.geocities.com/quiltfrenzy/twistedfrenzyindex.html
ReplyDeletewhich I hope will be reminiscent of double wedding ring but way easier . . . I hope.
I'm planning a quilt. Since it's my first, it will be for me. I would never give away my first attempt at anything - to many boo boos! It will be a simple pattern.
ReplyDeleteI have just begun quilting, but I (try to)make baby quilts for the local hospitals.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of you to do this, please put my name in the drawing :)
My next quilt will be my second quilt ever and it's for my bed. I'm going to try to make it out of my husband's old t-shirts. He won't give them up unless I immortalize them somehow and what's better than a quilt!
ReplyDeleteI would love that. I am just starting to quilt & def. will need help.
ReplyDeletesimply.simon.sisters(at)gmail(dot)com
If I win this, it will be my first quilt ever. I would love to make it for my mom's burthday!

Hey thanks for a great give away.
ReplyDeleteIm training as a sewing teacher in Worcester, found out this week I have a new job in September in Essex. This would really finish my week off perfectly.
Iv just started a mammoth task of making a pair of baby quilts for twins. Its the first thing I am making as gifts and really can't wait to see their faces!!
Wonderful giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on 2 quilts at the moment. First is a scrappy 9-patch quilt that is for me. Second is a 50th anniversary quilt (hopefully with a few photos worked into the quilt) for my in-laws.
just as soon as I find the fabric we bought together the other week I shall be assisting my 10 y.o. daughter in making her first quilt.
ReplyDeleteAny clues on where I have hidden it?
Oh...great giveaway! I just recently got my machine as well, so I have not made a quilt yet. It's something I really want to try to do soon. First, I am making a patchwork duvet cover for my cousin as a graduation-housewarming gift. Then I'll attempt a quilt. Probably something small, like a baby blanket for friends who are having a baby soon.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that book will offer some great tips!
My FIRST ever quilt will hopefully be a baby quilt for my son...while he's still a baby!
ReplyDeleteI tried once- didn't work. I'll try again, if it works, I'll see the style/colors, figure out who it would match best, and go from there :)
ReplyDeleteI've made a quilt but I am still learning.
ReplyDeleterachdjames@yahoo.com
I have only ever made one quilt, so this book would be great!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the draw and don't forget to enter mine!
probably for my soon to be babies bed :)
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm finishing Christmas lap quilts for nursing home. Next it will be my Grandson's Birthday. Thanks for the chance at winning.
ReplyDeletethis would be my first quilt ever. I've wanted to learn ever since I found out my grandfather made them in his youth. Sadly, he passed away before I was able to get him to teach me.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is for my brand new nephew who is only one week old! He lives in Denmark with his mommy and daddy and I haven't gotten to meet him yet :(. I need to finish that!
ReplyDeletegreat perfect for me as I am just starting quilting and this will be very helpfull!!!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a new quilter, I finally took a workshop this month and now I have so many projects I want to do, but I'm a new mama so I din't have nuch time! My first quilt, which I'm currently planning, will be for my baby.
ReplyDeleteThis is just great ! Please include me :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway !
I've got one quilting book that has taught me lots so far, but I'd love another just to get some more ideas.
ReplyDeleteNow I've entered #2 and #3, but I can't enter #1 becuase the comment box is cut off, so when it gets to the word varification part it won't let me see the whole thing. I don't know if this is just me, but I wanted to let you know. This probably won't count, and I understand perfectly, but I'll put my answer to the question in #1 here anyway.
"My favorite Amy Butler prints are lotus in yellow and full moon dots in lime. I can't believe you have the lime dots, I've been looking for them everywhere. I've also never made a bag, but its on my to-do list. How cool would it be to make my first bag with one of my favorite fabrics!?"
Your giveaways are fabulous!
First quilt ever. want to learn but little afraid. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome giveaway! My next quilt will probably be one for my step-sister for her wedding. I've bought fabric already, but she isn't engaged yet, so it may have to sit on the shelf for a while!!
ReplyDeleteI want to make a picnic blanket that has pocket for rocks that will keep the blanket from getting smooshed up.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to make my first quilt. I want to make one as a gift to my cousin who just had her first baby, but I guess it will be very simple as I don't know much about quilts yet. This books would be a nice help. Thank you for the chance to win it. :)

Yes it would be my first quilt ever. I would make a baby quilt for a gift.
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first ever big quilt, and my first one all by myself !
ReplyDeleteYes, my first-ever quilt. I would really like to make quilts for my girls, and, eventually, one for my husband's and my bed.
ReplyDeleteI've only made a very small wallhanging and a denim quilt so far, but this next one would be for ME! I need something to snuggle up with on the couch.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 quilts in progress, for three sisters who lost their house (as in, in burnt down) during our recent devastating fires here in Victoria Australia. I don't know the girls (17, 14 and 4), but they are friends of an old school friend of mine. Hope they like them!

2 of my best friends are having babies in November. I usually knit baby blankets but coz there's 2 I won't have time!!
ReplyDeleteEmbarking on baby quilts instead!!!
Any suggestions on neutral colour schemes as they're both having "wait and see" babies?

My next quilt is in the process it's for my nephew. Since you have a toddler you might like it as well. It's a tumbling block quilt, it has three flannel fabrics for little kids, and it is also a rag quilt, inbetween the group of 3 diamonds you rag the quilt. It is just so pretty. when I am done I will post a picture of it. I am excited about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing the giveaway!

This would be amazing! I'm wanting to learn to quilt so badly I can't stand it, but I'm also a bit afraid to jump off the dock too so to speak. I've seen several beginer quilt-a-longs online recently, and I'd start with one of those. I'd probably keep the quilt for myself since I'd be so happy to have finally done it!
ReplyDeletethis would be my 1st ever quilt. it'll definitely be for my 2 tots & probably with fabric of animals. abby
