Happy Valentine's Day! The lovebirds are back after a wonderful long weekend in San Antonio, TX, strolling the Riverwalk, grazing, shopping and enjoying the warmer weather. Of course, the only snow they've had in forever came thru on Sunday while we were there, but it was still better than the wintry mix in Kansas. I'll have a few pics for you later in the week.
To catch up, congratulations to Debbie T - you're the winner of the Pinwheels Mini Table Treats pattern & kit. It will take me longer to get it to you than for you to make it! Ladies in our classes are stitching on binding after just 3 hours - how cool! This week, we're featuring another MTT that has been our new best seller since Fall Market - Spoolin' Around. Bigger than life spools (fused applique) with plaid "thread" (raw edge applique) circle the table topper to create the perfect home decor project for any quilter, sewer or home crafter. Can't you think of a dozen friends who would just love it??? Comment here on your favorite vacation destination by Sunday 10pm for a chance to win the pattern & kit.
I'm about halfway thru the gazillion emails I need to read/respond to, so I'll talk at ya later.
Happy, Happy Valentine's Day! Hug somebody today.

So cute!!! My dream destination would be a cruise where everything is take care of for you, where there are activites you can join in if you want, but you can also choose just to relax and do nothing if you wish!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a fun time in SA! Where did you see snow? I live near SA and there was no snow whatsoever! Congratulations to Debbie. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this pattern and kit. This would look great in my sewing/quilting room. Or it would make a wonderful gift for any quilter.

DeleteI love to head to Maine for vacation. The beach or mountains is fine for me.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day Lynne! I absolutely love the spool mat! I think the plaids for the thread really make it a show stopper. No wonder it's a best seller! And if you're wondering about favorite vacation spots....well, mine would be Phoenix, especially since that's where my Mom lives :o)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place is Acadia Maine, a mix of mountains and the ocean and so much natural beauty. Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Happy HEART Day!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite places to vacation is Italy....LOVED the food, beaches, people, markets and more. Have you been?
Just love Spoolin' Around. I guess I had seen it on the website, but hadn't seen it so close. It is really very nice. It is hard to pick just one vacation place so I have to say Europe.
ReplyDeleteI'm in LOVE with this pattern!.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite place is Turangi, it is my hometown. You won't have heard of it it. It is a very small town in central north island New Zealand. Mountains, rivers and beautiful trees.It is where i grew up and learned to sew on my Mums sewing machine.
What a cute pattern! My favorite spot so far is the 4x4 beaches of North Carolina's Outer Banks...but any beach will do...
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is so cute. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite vacation spot...that's a tough one. I haven't been on too many vacations in my life that took me away from home. I did enjoy the one trip we took to Okinawa but the flight is so long. I would love to go to Ireland.
I would have to say Hilton Head Island. When you live in Kansas, HHI is like a whole 'nother world! Love your table topper!
ReplyDeleteDebbie L
I would love a few days away to the south west of West Australia, beaches,wineries,lavender farms,chocolates,Yum.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win your table topper.
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo
I have always enjoyed going to the mountains of North Carolina. We live in the flatlands of the south, so the Blue Ridge is so breathtaking to me. And what an adorable tabletopper!
ReplyDeleteMy dream vacation would be on a warm beach at an all inclusive resort. Love the latest tabletopper. Thanks for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on too many vacations but if I had the opportunity to pick a vacation destination I would choose Australia.....not sure why as I don't like to fly. It would be my dream vacation....I luv the spool table runner....adorable. Thanks for the chance to win the pattern and kit...(o:
ReplyDeleteI love the upper pennisulas in Michigan! The tabeltopper is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMy Favourite vacation destination, aside from the wonderful land of Australia is the USA. I have been there twice now and just love visiting. The next trip planned is to drive Route 66 (and of course, stop at all the Quilt shops along the way!)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite vacation is a road trip through the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. Frequent stops for taking pictures and of course camping. Nature is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite vacation destination is Alaska. I've been there 5 times and would love to return. Ireland is also another favorite.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Debbie! My favorite vacation destination is the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. I love the breathtaking mountaintop views, the crystal clear rivers, and the beautiful waterfalls.. :-) Thank you for the giveaway! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the Spoolin' Round table topper.
ReplyDeleteWe really haven't taken any vacations, but we both love to take day trips and visit quilt shops and flea markets here in Kansas.
One of our favorite vacation spots is Branson, MO. Mainly because my husband doesn't complain going there. There are lots to do including visiting several quilt stores and he got to have a guide last time for his fishing! Patty D. from Crystal City. MO.
ReplyDeleteSew cute, I love it! My favorite vacation was to Boy Scout training camp in northern Wisconsin. I loved it. Forest, lake, campfires, skits, songs and tons of fun. Thanks for the chance to win the cute table topper.
ReplyDeleteLove this table topper!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe don't travel much, but I'd love to go to Prince Edward Island someday. I'd also like to visit somewhere in/near the Rocky Mountains.
My favorite vacation destination is Northern Minnesota in the fall. I really love the spools table topper.
ReplyDeleteOur favourite at the moment is the South of France and as we are only about 4 hours drive away it's easy to get there. I want to explore more of France soon, it is one of my favourite places and I consider myself very lucky to live here.
ReplyDeleteFrance is definitely on my bucket list. Hope to visit someday soon. Maybe for our 30th anniversary!
DeleteI love the flower market in Niece. I was an exchange student in France twice during high school summers. It is a must vacation spot.
DeleteLiving close by must be tre magnific.
This table topper is gorgeous! My favourite holiday destination would have to be Cyprus, I would love to go back for another visit!
ReplyDeleteLove the mini table topper. My favorte vacation desination would be Hawaii. Thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteto win.
Love the table topper. I won a trip to Maui 8 years ago and it was enchanting. One day we'll go back again. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite places is Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It's not that far away from where I live, but the Victoria-era village built along a mountain ridge always transports me back in time.
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is my favorite! My favorite vacation spot is Bath, Maine, right on the coast...love the cobblestone streets, the century old buildings and the restaurants!! oh my, the food....take your fat clothes and a good pair of walking shoes lol!~
ReplyDeleteI've never done spools. I have to try it. I empty enough of them! I loved Alaska. I'm not sure I'll be able to top that one. Welcome home.
ReplyDeleteLove the table topper!! I have always wanted to make the spool pattern, thanks for the chance. My favorite vacation is anywhere we can go with our camper. Since we are still working it has mainly been to spots in Wisconsin although we did pull it down to Florida a few years ago and stayed on Sanibel Island.(wonderful) When we retire we plan on leaving every year after Christmas with our family and then heading to a different destination each year and stay about 3-4 months.
ReplyDeleteSweet table topper. I think my favorite destination is somewhere I haven't been yet and that is Ireland. Want to see everything there.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the spools!!! Our favorite family destination is the beach at Emerald Isle, NC.....we have had many fun, relaxing times there....we have even seen baby loggerhead sea turtles hatch and make their journey to the ocean:)
ReplyDeleteJackie
Oh, this topper is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite vacation destination is the NC mountains.
Oh to pick only one favorite!!! I would have to say camping out west of where we live. We usually head out to the Big Horn Damn with the trailer, all three dogs and some good friends. It has beautiful scenery of the Rocky Mountains of Alberta and great trails for quading for my husband. I get to sit back and do some relaxing hand applique! Life doesn't get much better than than.
ReplyDeleteConny from Red Deer, Alberta
Am I the only one who doesn't know what "quading" is? Please explain.
DeleteI love the spools pattern!
ReplyDeleteMy dream destination would be New Zealand but for now I'm content with Ireland and a little island off the west coast we visit each year!
My vacation dream is an Alaskan cruise, but I don't see one in my future anytime soon. I love the spools.
ReplyDeleteThis time of year it would have to be sunny AZ. Just got back from 2 wks at my brother's home in Scottsdale. Flip-flops, shorts and driving around with the top down...loved it! Got home to snow and COLD weather. I'm ready to go spend the rest of the winter there! I absolutely love this kit, so please pick me :)
ReplyDeleteOur favorite place to go is camping in the woods - away from cell phones and satelitte dishes! Just kick back and read a good book - take a hike - wade in a stream. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love vacationing in Arizona. That's my favorite spot. Also in the northwoods of Wisconsin where my folks have a house on a lake. I would love to win this kit as the table treats are so quick and all are so cute.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are right at home on board a train so you can just point us in the direction of the nearest one and we'd go sit excitedly in the carriage and anticipate the journey ahead of us. There is no nicer way to spend a few relaxing days journeying and enjoying the scenery as it goes by..old steam trains are our very favourite the sight of clouds of steam, the smell(and taste!)of coal and listening to the rythmic patterns as the train rolls along is just music to our ears. I'd love to take a kit like this one along to make and keep my hands busy.. that would be icing on the cake to me, thank-you for sharing your lovely talent. Grace:) weftandwarp(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteIt may sound corny, but our vacation would be our home!
ReplyDeleteLove your spool topper.
Gatlinburg Tennessee. A beautiful mountain setting with gazillions of things to do. Oh and Also some marvalous quilt shops in the area. Of course I am a mountain girl and love the mountains.
ReplyDeletesbrownquilts
My favorite vacation spot is the coast of Maine! I love the spool mat...be mine, be mine!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a trip through Amish country in PA. The rolling hills, geese on pond, and quilt places galor. I love your spool"round about"!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome pattern. Perfect for friends as gifts or as sewing room decor. My favorite vacation spot thus far has been either Alaska (can't beat the beauty of that state) or Savannah. My hubby and I got married in Savannah at the first UMC church ever in this country. Savannah also had meaning for me as my father was stationed at the Air Force base there while in the service. He always talked about how he loved it there and I can see why. Southern hospitality and beauty all around.
ReplyDeleteReally cute pattern. Yellowstone is my favorite vacation destination...would go there every year if I could afford it.
ReplyDeleteSome where warm and not raining!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I took a train ride from St Louis to Flagstaff, Arizona summer before last to pickup our GRANDson to bring him back for the summer. Loved the ride, the scenery through that part of the USA that we'd never been through before. Just an amazing time, would do it again in a heartbeat! Bev E
ReplyDeleteI would have to say home....we have 4 dogs and we would hate to have to leave them or board them!! I love the spool pattern. I think it needs to come to my house for vacation!
ReplyDeleteAny of the national or state parks are usually terrific. But then again I loved Paris.
ReplyDeleteLove the spool table topper - sew cute!!
Charlotte S.
Last year went to Paducah, KY for the AQS quilt show.
ReplyDeleteHad a Fantastic time!
This is too cute! Thanks for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on too many vacations lately, but I always love to visit Chicago. So many things to see and do there!
Sandy A
LOVE the topper. favorite vacations are Colorado mountains. Dream vacation would be cruise to Alaska!
ReplyDeleteIt's not too late to join us this August for a quilting cruise to Alaska's inland passage. We'd love to have you!
DeleteI love spools and the plaid for thread. My favorite vacation place is Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite vacation place has been the Washington and Oregon area. Beautiful trees, mountains, waterfalls, ocean, lighthouses, covered bridges and rivers. Plus lots of wonderful towns and cities including Seattle and Portland, and the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever taken the ferry out to Orcas Island? It's my all time favorite spot one earth - so far. See my blog entry from last August for a glimpse into the food, shopping and fun to be had.
DeleteI love Alaska. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGreat table topper! Of course, many of us quilters love anything with spools and this would look great on my kitchen table. Bet the girls in our Guild would love to do a workshop on this - they love to start and finish in one day. My favorite vacation place would be Hawaii but am looking forward to an African Safari next year.
ReplyDeleteEvery year my husband and I go to Gatlinburg TN the week between Christmas and New Year. We rent a cozy cabin and spend our days sitting by the fire-I sew and he reads and we watch movies. It is such a great get-away after the hustle-bustle of the holidays. But, my dream vacation is to go to Hawaii............someday.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find a button on your blog that I could click on to go to your shop site. Can you tell me if there is one? Love the spool mat.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite places is the PA Amish country, near Lancaster. It is peaceful and of course love all of the many quilt shops in the area. Would enjoy winning your Spoolin' Around Kit. Thanks - Lana D.
ReplyDeleteLake Tahoe....absolutely gorgeous there. Right now my favorite vacation place would have to be the Texas panhandle since that is where our son lives. I also like Lancaster, PA and Shipshewana, IN. Next year I'm hoping to get to vacation in Maine and enjoy some lobster. I like all your table treats and hope this one comes my way!
ReplyDeleteMy son lives near San Antonio and took me to the River Walk one Spring day . . . lovely! Equally lovely is your spool design. I would love to win it! Cheryl
ReplyDeleteSince my husband is a hunter and I like my solitude, my favorite vacation is hubbie away on a hunting or fishing trip, and I'm alone at home, quilting, listening to music, and loving the solitude.
ReplyDeleteBut we did enjoy time together in Savannah, GA. Gorgeous city and wonderful time at a family wedding.
I go weak at the knees for any pattern with spools. This is a cutie.
We love to go to Williamsburg, VA and Lancaster, PA. Both favorites!
ReplyDeleteLove that Spoolin' Around pattern!
Cute cute!
ReplyDeleteBar Harbor, Maine is a nice destination. Plenty of beauty from Mt Kadelak, to the ocean; lots of shops and good eats. I prefer off season for pricing and fewer crowds, but I'm not choosy! We don't vacation often!
Cozumel Mexico...We have been three times with our teen-age kids. Best thing about it is that they still think we are cool parents!! love your minis....janet
ReplyDeleteLove this cute pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove Alaska, so beautiful.
Darlis
Tucson, Arizona has wonderful spas - would like to travel there and spend time recharging - one of these days! This is a really cute pattern. Glad you had a wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteThere are two places that I would love to visit again, St. Thomas Virgin Islands and Cuba. Beautiful spots and fantastic beaches.
ReplyDeleteI love the table topper. Thanks for the giveaway.
Darling spools! I just love that topper.
ReplyDeleteI spent just over a week--9 days--in Australia's tropical north by the Coral Sea a couple of years ago, attending an Australian friend's wedding, and would love to see so much more of that country's treasures!
Stratford, Ontario in the Spring or Summer. It is surrounded by some beautiful Amish farms and has the fabulous Shakespeare festival that runs for about 8 months out of the year.
ReplyDeleteDisneyworld where you can leave your worries behind and become a child again.
ReplyDeleteSkiing in Colorado. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWe're wee went on an Alaskan cruise. Whale watching was incredible. We had a chocolate feast that had every kind of chocolate image able. The shapes they sculpted we're incredible! The train ride was so beautiful. It truly was a dream vacation
ReplyDeleteBjeanand@gmail.com
Hi Lynne,
ReplyDeleteAnywhere with my family though we rotate through Massanutten in Virginia, Walt Disney World, Williamsburg, VA, and Ocean City, MD. We want to try Myrtle Beach soon...
Love, love, love this pattern!
Cynthia
Favorite vacation spots are Historic Williamsburg, VA and the Adirondacks in NY.
ReplyDeleteOur favorite place, Steamboat Springs, CO!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun in San Antonio. :-)
Haven't had a vacation in far too many years, but would choose the seaside - anywhere ! Love your MTT's and these spools would be lovely to win. Margaret
ReplyDeleteI have only been physically to this place twice but I visit it daily via the web thru web cams, their internet site and memories of my stays with family and freinds. This heaven on earth spot for me is Colonial Williamsburg.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the spools mat opportunity. Sewing is also my life and the spools theme is perfect I think. I started sewing at age 3 guiding the fabric into the sewing machine with my mothers hands over mine for safety.
Fun spool pattern. Would love the oppt to put it together. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNeat pattern especially for someone who loves to sew.
ReplyDeleteThank you for another opportunity to win.
As far as favorite vacation spot...I think it would have to be somewhere in the mountains. We love to hike and camp.
I have 2 favorite places to vacation-- any of the Hawaiian islands to see the flora and fauna and San Antonio, Texas for favorite spots and yummy food and blue bonnets.
ReplyDeleteAndrea in Calif. lucases(at)hotmail(dot)com
My favorite place to vacation is the Dominican Republic!!! I will be there in two weeks, I can hardly wait!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I went through a knitting phase when I was 13. I became a home decor steamboat with all sorts of covers for different items of the house. My mother was mad.
