Re: Book Giveaway: "Dreaming in Color"

I first knew Kaffe Fassett from his quilts. He really knows his colors.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Gertie's New Book for Better Sewing"

Since I'm pretty vintage myself, I'd love to have a book about the patterns.

Re: Mega Quilt Giveaway

I appliqued a pony on a green field and blue sky for a great granddaughter. Her mom loved it.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Quilt Love"

Like a lot of quilters, I started out with the intention of using up 40 years of scraps. I'm still trying

I'm teaching my 10 year old granddaughter to sew. She'll love it.

Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: "All Sewn Up"

This year I'm making a couple of granddaughters pajamas from cute flannel I've had for a long time. And a grandson is getting a quilt it took forever to finish.

Re: Book Giveaway: Summer Mystery Reading for the Sewing Enthusiast

It's too hot to sew, so a mystery so a mystery about it would be great.

Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Industry Insider Techniques with Louise Cutting Volumes 1-4



I love sewing and I love learning about sewing almost as much

Re: Book Giveaway: "Power Sewing Toolbox 1 and 2" by Sandra Betzina

I could really use these books even though one of my sewing daughters would probably borrow them before I could crack them open.

Re: Giveaway: SewStylish Spring 2012 Fashion Sewing Guide

Serger Secrets? I could use that. Along with most eerything else.

Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Threads Magazine Archive, 1985-2011

I've had to get rid of most of my old sewing mags and books. This would be wonderful.

Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: A Guide to Fashion Sewing

I sew by reading the instructions on the pattern sheet. It would be great to have a real reference book.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Threads Sewing Guide"

What a great book! After 40 years of trial and error sewing, I've never had a real reference book.

Re: MAGAZINE GIVEAWAY: "Designer Techniques"

Designers? I like them all-even the far out ones. I have a year to make a wedding dress for a grandaughter so I need all the help I can get.

Re: Book Giveaway: "1,000 Clever Sewing Shortcuts & Tips"

Every year I get a small calendar I keep in my sewing desk. I sew for me, family, pets and friends. Clothes, quilts, pillows, mending. Every time I finish a project, I note it on the calendar. My sewing goes in fits and starts so when it seems as though I have accomplished very little, I can look back and see that I actually did quite a bit. Even if it was mending a pair of jeans. Which I'm pretty good at.

Re: MAGAZINE AND DVD GIVEAWAY: "Teach Yourself to Sew"

I'm teaching my 8 year old grandaughter to sew and she's a whiz but it is harder than I thought. After years of doing things my own way, it would be better if it was the right way.

Re: Project Runway: Season 8 - Finale Part 2

From someone who believes the last great designer was Levi Strauss, I have to say I love watching Project Runway.
From the Oh My Gosh- how did they do that?! to the train wrecks. It is amazing to me to see the engenuity and creativity of the designers in such a short time. The judging is a mystery to me but who am I? It's a competition, a reality show and a soap opera. As long as I can appreciate it for what it is, I'll keep on watching.
