Beginning Monday, I will be starting a 6 week quilt along. I am hoping that you'll join me because it will be lots of fun.
And cause I'll be using fabric from Paula Prass for Michael Miller Fabrics called Flights of Fancy.
And cause there will be lots of prizes along the way.
And cause at the end of it all I'm going to give away a Janome 6600.
And if I get lots and lots of comments then I'll give away my quilt too.
Won't you join the fun?

ReplyDeleteI'm so in on this one, wait, am I disqualified? Oh well, even if I am it will still be fun to play along. SOOOOOO Excited about all of this.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear the details!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm excited to enter another contest you're putting together!
I very much want to, but will have to wait to see the details. We're going on vacation in 4 weeks and I won't be near a machine for a good while.
ReplyDeletesounds fun! i'm in!
ReplyDeleteI'm already doing a quilt a long with crazy Mom Quilts, but I'll be observing with interest what you have in mind. We're heading rapidly into winter here in Australia, so the more quilts, the merrier!
ReplyDeleteI would love to join you on your 'Quilt Along'. Any excuse to sew is fine by me! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Jenelle
Oh me, Oh my! I don't know exactly what a quilt along is, but as I listen to Ryan Adams on your blog.... I just might be game. Loved what you had to say about daisies. Flowers, music, fabric, being outside, being with my kids... it gives me the juice I need. Thanks for your energy and enthusiasm... you add to the beauty of this world.
ReplyDeleteLove that fabric choice. I've been drooling over it lately.
ReplyDeleteHOLY MOLY, I will be back Monday. See ya then!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
I'm in! sounds like alot of fun!
ReplyDeleteMy word! Does this sound like fun! Although I don't know the rules...I am willing to learn...will check back Monday....
ReplyDeleteSounds like such fun! Laurez
WHaeser1@aol.com
I want to join too. I would like to know the details also. Of course winning a new machine to replace my 26 year old machine wouldn't be so bad either.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to miss out on all the fun! Count me in! And I am bloggin' about you too!
ReplyDeleteI've never done a quilt along but it sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteSounds like lots of fun!! Can't wait to see what we'll be making!!

I have been planning on starting to quilt (I generally prefer the instant satisfaction of smaller sewing projects like toddler clothes!). I can't wait to hear more about it & join you!
ReplyDeleteKymy
Everything Your Mama Made & More!
That sounds like fantastic fun ! Will have a look what it is you are doing and maybe dive into my stash..
ReplyDeletethis sounds like fun. my first quilt a long. i will check back on monday
ReplyDeleteWe're so excited about doing a quilt a long with you. It will be a first. A great motivator for our new quilting group!
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog since January, and I love what you do, I hope I can follow along with you!
ReplyDeleteI barely have time to breathe lately but will try! Who wouldn't like to win a new sewing machine/!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good way to get me back to my sewing machine! I've bookmarked your site so I can come back tomorrow and see what's happening.
ReplyDeleteSign me up :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds really fun! I've been wanting to get back into quilting so this is the perfect project to get me back in the game! Thank you! Susan
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm glad I happened upon your blog today! I'm in. I need a "me" project to piece since my kids' quilts are being worked through on the frame now and I'm done with the "for everyone else" quilt tops for hte moment. Woo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteBeck
Why is it that I'm always afraid to commit to quilt-alongs? Well this time maybe because I'll be moving in a couple of weeks and YET since I will be moving in a couple of weeks this would be my only chance at a new sewing machine for a while. So here I go!
ReplyDeleteI wanna play!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun, let me know what I need to do to participate.
ReplyDeleteI am a new quilter so as long as it is not too complicated I would love to join in. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a Flight of Fancy with you for the next six weeks!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME giveaway!
This looks like it could be a lot of fun. Kind of like a mystery quilt!!
ReplyDeletePlease count me in. Love your quilts. Looks like next six weeks will be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteSo I assume Janome is sponsoring this? Are you being paid? Are you being paid by Michael Miller?
ReplyDeleteHave you considered being transparent about this?
I need some kind of help... especially with kiddos underfoot now that school's out... Count me in.
ReplyDeleteOooh, fun! I've been looking for a new quilt project, and I'll have to make up for being late! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my encouragement for everyone to join in: I have a janome 6600p and I LOOOOOOOVE it (and I won it in a contest, too!) Let's get stitching!
Well, imagine all the sewing I would accomplish on a new machine!! Bliss. I am trying to finish a quilt right now so this is going to help, I just need to find the time :).
ReplyDeleteOhh, I just found this quilt along. I'm totaly in! I just need to catch up :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun project---can I join in??? (hope so!!!)
ReplyDeleteFeverishing working to get set up in flickr to participate. Drats! Missed another opportunity for a great prize! Maybe next week...
ReplyDeleteJust found out about this..I am going to try and catch up over the weekend....this looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteAnett
I just found out about this today and will hurry to catch up. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI just found this today too. I'll catch up this weekend. Count me in too! I'm already set up on flicker, I'll join the group right away.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and want to say "Thank You". I have always wanted to learn how to make a quilt, a real quilt that I may one day pass down to my grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteAs the mother of a disabled young adult, crafting is my therapy. I look forward to your weekly instructions =)
I think I am ready for my first real quilt-along. And this one sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. Can't wait, have fabric that's waiting to be used!
ReplyDeleteGetting a bit of a late start, but very excited about joining in! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first quilt-along EVER. I know I'm getting a late start, but I'm going upstairs to cut my strips right now!
ReplyDeleteI found this a little late, but am excited to make my first big quilt. The flights of fancy fabrics you choose are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI would love to join in. Of course, I have many projects in the works already, but I have a wonderful kit of fabrics just waiting to be used.
ReplyDeleteI am interested in joining. What do I need to do?
ReplyDeletePlease, count me to the SAL and of course for the Sewing Machine give away, maybe I have a lucky girl and I can enjoy my first quilt machine and keep my domestic.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first quilt along also. I'm late but I'm in. Please sign me up!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I think I am caught up. All my strips are cut. Tomorrow I sew.
ReplyDeleteI used fat 1/4s from my stash. All black and whites with a splash of red!
I'm definitely joining in. Already got some pics up on Flickr. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in! Just got home from vacation and I see I have a lot of catching up to do! This looks like fun, thanks so much, Dana.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! just catching up, hoping to have the strips sewn by Monday, we shall see if I can get them done! Posting about it today!
ReplyDeleteI am excited about doing my first quiltalong. I may start sewing the blocks together this weekend as I am all caught up, for a change. Thanks so much for doing this.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like great fun. I've got 3 WIPs, but what the heck, I want to learn how to make a quilt! I'm already a bit behind (like 3 weeks)in this, so I bought a couple jelly rolls to get me started. Here we go!
ReplyDeleteExcited not to be too late to join the quilt a long and have the chance at winning a sewing machine...wish I had known earlier to have an extra 100 chances with the right fabric...but am trying to use only fabric from my stash and I have done it so far.
ReplyDeleteHope it is okay to only do a lap one...mine will be about 140cm as i did not have enough of some fabrics to do more than eight blocks of each and mainly because my arthritis makes it impossible for me to sew large quilts
Thanks so much for organising this
I would soooo love to win this!! I am new to quilting and this machine looks wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing your great talent and for all the fun give aways!! Jeannette M
ReplyDeleteOh, sign me up! I love Janome machines!
ReplyDeleteOooooh!! I would love a fancy machine. Mine is a freebie hand-me-down and it's the most basic of basics. Though it quilts, and tha's what counts! Check out my progress if you get a chance, I'm updating new photos tonight! Thanks for the inspriation. Wish me luck!!
