Thank you for joining me for the “Spell it with Fabric” Moda Blog Hop.
My letter is … L
I made my block using two of my favorite fabrics from my “High Street” collection. They are Moda 1147019 and 1147413. You can find the instructions to make this letter here.
What are your initials?
My initials are LA.
My favorite quilt block …
Well, that’s a hard question but right now I’m loving the simple pinwheel motif in the “LOUISIANA” quilt block. I designed this with three of the fabrics coming out this May in my “Folklore” collection. They are as follows: Moda 1148316, 1148415 and 1148516.
Here is a sneak peek at my Folklore collection.
My favorite memory about school …
LOCKING LIPS with my high school boyfriend in front of my LOCKER. I guess I was a bit of a rebel:)
My favorite book, movie or television show …
Anything starring Jude LAW!
I love quilting because …
it’s on my LIST of things to learn because truth be told I’m a bit of a novice. I have found designing quilt patterns has been an excellent way for me to learn the basics, with the help of some talented and experienced friends. Up for grabs today is my “High Street” quilt pattern as well as a layer cake. To enter, comment below about why you love quilting and I will choose a random winner on February 28th.
What if everyday was a holiday?…
That would be wonderful as I’d have more time to pursue all of the creative activities I LOVE.
Is there an object, tool or anything that you cannot work without? …
My LONG-SUFFERING Cintiq love designing by drawing directly on my computer monitor.
Do you have a quote or motto you live (or work) by? …
This one popped up on Facebook today and kind of struck a chord.
Something I like …
LIAM FAHY SHOES. Just in case you have a pair of these coveted beauties here is a cute little project to keep them safe when travelling. Download instructions here. I made this using a “High Street” charm pack.
Somewhere I have been …
LONDON, LUXEMBOURG, LAS VEGAS, AND LOS ANGELES.
Somewhere I want to go …
LE ÓN, Spain is on my LIST for travel in the near future.
Someone I know ….
IsabeLLa, my eight year old daughter. The picture below is of Isabella using a pottery wheel. I just love her creative passion!

Post some of your daughter’s work sometime. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
Quilting is my stress reliever, my life saver. My job is sooooo stressful and working with fabric takes that away. Your fabric definitely is a stress reliever. Thanks for hosting!
Thank you for the free shoe bag pattern. I also like “L” as my name is Linda and I now live in France very close to Limoges!
Quilting is my therapy – it brings calm to a hectic world. All the stages from cutting, piecing, binding and even un-picking (grrr!) allows you to lose yourself in your thoughts. Plus it gives me, a very unartistic individual, the opportunity to follow someone else’s clever instructions and make something totally beautiful.
I love quilting because it is a quiet time when I can think. I also like that there is a product at the end of my sewing, I teach school, so there is no finished product for me there.
Can’t wait for your Folklore collection to hit the stores.
I love quilting because I get to work with beautiful fabrics like High Street. It is one of my all-time favorites and now I’m looking forward to Folklore. Thanks for the pattern!
Love your fabric! And I’m impressed you’ve been to Luxembourg.
I love quilting as I can tie up so many special memories in a quilt, patterns and fabrics chosen by friends, fabrics reused from old clothes and then new memories are created whilst snuggling up in that new cosy quilt!
I love your fabrics! Thanks for the shoe bag pattern—so happy and fun!
Thanks for the pattern – I think these will make great gifts for my daughters! blessings, marlene
I love playing with fabric. I love the colors, the drap, the feel. I learned to sew clothes when I was in HS. But I didn’t like it that much. So years later I tried my hand at quilting and just fell in love with putting fabrics together into something warm and colorful. Thanks for a fun blog hop.
Pretty fabric line – so fresh and bright. Thank you for the shoe bag pattern.
I find such a comfort and peace when I quilt! I can’t imagine my life without quilting. Love your new line!
I love all your fabric lines, I have them all. I love making quilts every one can use one.
Thanks!
I’m pretty new at quilting but a few things I’ve found that I love best are: the creativity, the feeling of accomplishment but most of all the joy of giving.
Quilting is very relaxing for me and I’ve done some of my best creative thinking at my sewing machine. I enjoy gifting quilt projects to others. My brother whose name begins with L appreciates them.
I’m a fairly new quilter. I love the fabric and I love learning, creating and giving.
I love all the colors and patterns of fabric so quilting is a great way to make something warm and snugly and beautiful.
I love quilting because I love fabric – the colors make my heart sing.
I’m not a fan of watching TV – I’d rather be sewing! I find patchwork is relaxing and creative. I’ve been looking forward to “L” as it is my first initial!
That fabric is gorgeous! Wow…so many beautiful things on this hop…thanks for sharing with us.
I love to make quilts because it keeps me connected to a community, use my mind and to make beautiful gifts for my family and friends.
I love fabric! I’ve loved trips to the fabric store since I was a little girl and used to go with my mother. I love the colors and textures, and dreaming of all the possibilities in a stack of pretty prints makes quilting such an adventure.
I love quilting because it brings me peace, I can have an absolute horrible busy day but just to sit down at the sewing machine and hear the the machine along with running the fabric through, perfect peace.
I love all those colours. I’m pretty new to the actual quilting part of making a quilt. I love seeing little pieces of fabric come together into a quilt top, but so far I haven’t been brave enough to quilt in anything other than straight lines. This is going to be the year I give it a real try!
Quilting is my sanity break! No pressure, no hard to keep rules and beautiful creative results. Aaaahhhhh!
My name is Linda so thanks for the L and the shoe info to go with your cute bag. Always life new sources of shoes.
I love you quilting for many reasons, but mostly because it is FUN!
I love High Street. I just bought a charm pack of it to make a bag. Hopefully, we can stop these snow days. I need the kids to go to school so I can sew again!
I love quilting because it gives me peace. From start to finish it is my zen.
Love quilting because of the color and the people that I have met while quilting.
The finished product!
Love the bright colors in the fabric. Thanks for the letter “L”. Can’t wait to get all the letters.
I love quilting because it relaxes me and I can just get lost in the choosing the fabric, planning and piecing the quilt, and finishing it. I try to do something towards quilting on a daily basis and love it. Seeing the finished quilt is a great reward in itself. It is like therapy to me and very rewarding.
I love quilting because it is always interesting to see how different fabrics work together. The process is so fun from beginning to end – I am always pleasantly surprised with the finished product!
I love colour, I love playing around with shapes and colour placement, I love fabric, I love sewing!
I love colour. I love playing around with shapes and colour placement. I love fabric. I love sewing!
I love quilting because it’s one of the few things I do that allows me to feel truly creative. Your new line is beautiful.
I love your fabric – puts me in a happy place.
I have to agree with previous comments, quilting keeps me centered, it is my peace.
I love quilting because I get to state at beautiful fabrics like your High Street collection (one of my all time favorite collections)! Love the bag pattern!
I love the creativity of quilting. I love the excitement of the beginning and the peacefulness when I finally start the hand quilting. I love the colors in your fabrics. Beautiful !
Thanks for the shoe bag pattern, my husband has just asked me recently for a bag to put his gym shoes in when he travels. Love your new line of fabric. I like to quilt because you get to put a part of yourself in each quilt, big or small. Each quilt has a little love inside. Also there is the fabric factor-you get to touch, look at, and buy fabric when you quilt.
I love quilting because it is not stressful unless of course you are on a deadline and you can take apart all kinds of fabric and then put them together again to make something beautiful.
I love quilting, because I get to be surrounded by color all the time! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love quilting because I enjoy putting different patterns and textures together to create art. There are so many possibilities with fabric and colors and shapes . . . I could go on and on . . .
I quilt because I love working with fabric and giving the quilts to my now grown children so they always have a piece of me with them, the grand kids like them too. Your quote was so great words to live by
Love that shoe bag!
I love the whole creative process. Selecting fabrics. Coming up with a layout for the block / top. Piecing. Quilting. Binding. I like finishing the binding by hand. It’s a nice slow end to the process while enjoying sitting under the quilt.
I love quilting because you can make something special with just a piece of fabric.
Thanks for the pattern and the chance to win the beautiful fabric!
Wow! Love that shoe lover travel bag!
I am in love with your new Folklore fabric, I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Thank you so much for the wonderful shoebag pattern. I love Highstreet, it is such a happy fabric.

I love quilting because I can make beautiful, practical things, and because it gives me a chance to play with color.
Thank you so much for the shoe bag patterns. And love your bright happy fabrics !
Beautiful, happy fabric!!
I love quilting because it is like putting a puzzle together. Love your fabric, thanks for the chance.

Thanks for the L and the drawstring bag pattern! My daughter is a ‘L’
I love Folklore too!
I love quilting because it allows me to feed my fabric creative side and my fabric addictions
I love quilting because it gives me the opportunity to design with fabric. I have always loved fabric and love the many different designs you can create with the same fabric. I like to challenge myself by using new colors or patterns. There is always something new to try.
Love everything about quilting. Love to see things come together
Thanks for the L
I am a little partial to the letter L since two of my three names begin with it! Love, love, LOVE High Street!
I love quilting because I love the chance to be creative.
I love quilting because being in my sewing room around all of that lovely fabric brings me a calm in my life. I love piecing my quilts at my sewing machine which is positioned in front of a great window which allows me to enjoy the sunshine and birds at the same time! And, friends gathering together to make quilts for the sick, what is not to love about quilting!
I love quilting because it is a unique way to love my friends and family. Also, I really like making something with my hands. Your fabric lines are so happy and cheerful. I’ve been saving up for some High Street to make my almost teenager a quilt. She is so happy and cheerful too.
Quilting is quite a new skill for me, I’m still trying to pick it up. I’ve only made small things so far but it is soo satisfying to see the end product after all the effort (and concentration!)
I can’t say there is any one reason I love quitling. Maybe the colors or process. But I know when I don’t get my sewing in I am not myself. It appears to sooth my inner savage beast! LOL
Thanks for the giveaway…love the shoe bag.
I love quilting because it nurtures my soul.
I love quilting because designers like you keep providing us with glorious fabrics to play with! Imagine how boring it would be without these patterns and colors.
And thank you for the shoe bag pattern. I’m going to make some for gifts (and one for myself!)
Thank you for that adorable pattern. I needed to make a friend gift today, and this will be perfect! I love to sew and quilt…pretty much anything to do with lovely fabrics makes me happy!
I love your fabric. After a hard day at work, quilting sort of brings a calmness to a hectic day!
I love quilting because I can create things and see the fruits of my labor. I love to gift my quilts to others to see the joy it brings them. I have a quilting bucket list and try something new with each quilt I make. Thanks for the chance!
Love the colors in the new line….
Thanks for the patterns.
I love quilting because I become lost in it while doing it. It is both fascinating and engrossing to see a beautiful thing being created from beginning to end. Thanks!
I love quilting because it is something that my mom taught me and now my best friend and I do it together. The best way to spend a weekend is chatting, catching up and quilting with your best friend.
Your fabrics are so pretty. I love to quilt because it allows me to be creative with wonderful fabrics. I love color and sewing so this allows me to do both. Thanks for sharing.
I love quilting because it gives me a chance to be creative and I’m always learning new things. Love the High Street line and would love to make that pattern – so bright and fresh~! Thanks for the chance.
I love quilting because it is so much fun to take little pieces of fabric and turn them into works of art. I love patterns that create different looks by just moving them around. Too much fun!!
I love quilting because it is soothing. A rough day can fade into the background if I can get a little sewing in.
I’ve been sewing, in one way or another, since I was six years old. I was asked to teach a quilting class, in preparation for the Bi-Centennial and I was hooked! I love the color. the math, the variables. How we all bring our own special creativity to our projects.
Love the shoe bag, thanks for the pattern.
love the quote!!!
Love the new fabrics, gorgeous colors!
I love quilting because I can make gifts for family. Thanks for sharing the patterns.
I love quilting because I get to see so many beautiful fabrics and even enjoy touching them. A good quality fabric has a very nice feel to it. Quilting has been a blessing in my life that even helps me to relax at times. It has also lead me to friends I would never have made otherwise. I used to just shorten hubbies pantlegs, then decided in 2005 that I should be able to do more with my machine…that is when I decided to learn to quilt. Along the way, I have gotten 2 more beautiful machines ….one to take along to quilt classes or gatherings and another beauty just to quilt with; leaving the first machine for the jeans and heavy things.
I love quilting because I love creating something from nothing. I just started quilting this past year, and I really have found my passion. I love that I have an outlet to create wonderful things from beautiful fabric.
Quilting creates an escape for me, to leave all my worries and troubles aside for a time to sew. The time passes
so quiickly and it is fun to watch the quilt grow right before your eyes.
I love quilting because it helps me to feel close to my grandmother, “Mawmaw”. She taught me to sew when I was very young. I would sit in her lap and help feed the fabric and loved it! I went many years without sewing after she passed away. A few years ago, my aunt gave me tons of fabric scraps that were Mawmaw’s. When I went through all the fabric it brought back so many memories. I could remember all the outfits and blankets we made together. There were also tons of quilt squares needing to be finished. I started sewing them together that afternoon. I needed to know how to quilt and taught myself little by little. I have been hooked ever since!
I love quilting because it is practical art for one, and I get to zone out, forget about stress for awhile. Plus its just fun!
I love fabric, especially brightly colored fabric. I enjoy playing with it or even just sitting and enjoying it ironed and stacked. I love designing patterns. I love giving my quilts away and seeing the happiness and amazement in people’s faces. Thanks for the chance to win. I love the bright summery colors in High Street.
I love to quilt because I can create something beautiful and functional. Quilting is an art form I can do because it feels more controlled than drawing or painting. Fabric is a medium I can work with!
I love quilting because it’s a chance to create, play ( I love to play w/fabric) it’s peaceful, chance to give to others, I love sewing!
Even though patchwork is a perverse hobby, creating new shapes and colours by just cutting up, re-arranging and sewing pieces together again is a marvellous thing. Quilting layers together just adds a heartfelt warmth to the finished patchwork.
I love quilting because it gives me the ability to be creative and, at the same time, make pretty, and useful, gifts for family and friends. Thanks for the sweet giveaway
I love to quilt because I am able to be creative. I seldom follow a pattern exactly or sometimes I don’t even use a pattern.
Thanks for taking part in the blog hop. Your designs are amazing! I love quilting because my mom was a quilter so I know she’d be proud if she were still with us! She made all her quilts from scratch and scraps, very cool! My sister has been gifting me some of the things my mom made over the years, it is so fun!
Love this fabric line. High Street. I am going to find it. “The one who dies with the Most Fabric Wins!
Thanks so much for the pattern for the shoe bag. That will be so fun to make for gifts.
Love the wine quote!!
Thanks for the shoe bag pattern – I hope to make it for my daughter who dresses wonderfully and takes very good care of her possessions.
I love quilting because it brings more beauty into my life. I enjoy the interplay of different colors. I find myself looking around my world at different color combinations that occur naturally (like when I’m outside) or spontaneously (like looking at the various colors of Fiestaware dishes that end up next to each other in the dish rack) – and I think about what they would look like in a quilt.
The Spell It blog hop has been fun to see everyone’s new fabric lines and patterns.
I love making scrap quilts. Each one is so different and all very eye-catching. Quilting is also a nice diversion in a busy day.
I love to quilt because it takes me to my happy place. You fabrics are very pretty. Thank you for a chance to win.
I love quilting because it gives me a chance to say “look, I did this”. It’s my creative outlet, and my stress reliever (yes, even when I have to rip something out !) Thanks for the give away of your beautiful fabric!
Beautiful fabric! Love the La. quilt block! I love the thought of quilting – on my list to really dive in after we get moved to our retirement home in very short time. My daughter is an excellent quilter and is ready to help me with questions and she has a beautiful way of putting colors together.
Thanks for the pattern for the shoe bag. I also love the letter L — my name is Lana.
What do I love about quilting??
I love the fabric — so inspiring, so beautiful — even if you make a mistake — your quilt still looks good due to the wonderful, beautiful fabric. Keep designing and creating those awe-inspiring fabric lines!
I sure like your HighStreet fabric line, just got some last week. I love quilting because you can make something that gives comfort to family and friends.
I love quilting because it is my therapy, cheaper then a psychiatrist and you get something when you are done. Plus you meet the best people in the world.
Love Folklore! Am enjoying the bloghop. Thanks to you and good luck all!
I love HIgh Street, and would love to win. Thanks for the chance
Awesome giveaway, love me some High Street!!!!
Thanks for the chance to win some of your beautiful fabric!
I find that quilting is my form of therapy. I find the creative release a way to find a special peace and appreciation for the world around us.
I LOVE your new line!!! I have been looking for the perfect green fabric and it looks like I just found it!!!!!
I love the fresh bright colours in that line! Perfect for all my little sewing projects.
Thank you for the bag pattern and the letter L
Colleen
Oh, I LOVE this bag pattern! Thank you!
i love quilting for many reasons. i believe it is a God given talent to share with others and add beauty to the world. all my quilts are hand pieced and hand quilted and donated to charity or a special person that god leads me to give a quilt to. every stitch i put in my quilts are stitched with love and the enjoyment of making someone else feel special and loved. quilting became my passion when my health started failing at a young age and i needed something keep me occupied. I started quilting when i was sixteen and have never looked back. i love quilting because it is a great way to express yourself, to make one of a kind quilts, and all the wonderful people you meet on your journey as a quilter. thank you for such a great giveaway. babscorbitt@gmail.com
I love everything about quilting. Most of the quilts I make are scrappy, and I love playing with all the different pieces of fabric.
I love quilting. I find it very relaxing. Love your fabric and the shoe bag pattern!
Hi, would love to make a something with you Forklore collection. The colors are beautiful.
I love quilting because there are so many options, colors and styles. I love that I can create what I see in my mind!
Quilting is a blessing because it takes concentration and then all other problems fade away.
i love that quilting is something i can do to relax and be creative, but I can do it on my own time frame. I work full time, am in grad school full time, and have a 2 year old. Quilting is my “me time!” Also,i can have 3 projects going at the same time, or stop halfway through something and start something completely different
I love to cut and piece and watch quilts develop like watching a butterfly emerge from a cocoon. Sadly I have not mastered any quilting techniques other than straight line so I use my local LQS for fancy quilting – but I do enjoy binding by hand – just the finishing touches needed to complete that butterfly.
Working with beautiful colors and putting them together just makes me happy, and what draws me to quilting! Plus, I LOVE a hobby that results in a “practical application!”
I love to quilt, so relaxing and fun! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the pattern for the bag, enjoyed the quote, how true!
I love quilting because I get to play with beautiful fabrics. I’m a novice too and have struggled a bit, but with the latest quilt I’m making my accuracy has improved and that is making me so happy!
I love quilting for so many reasons…..it gives me a way to release my creativity, it lets me have beautiful fabric all around me, it relaxes me! Thank you for the opportunity to win some of your fabulous fabric!!

I LOVE your shoe bags! what a great idea. I had to use grocery bags the other day, but, would love making some show bags for travel. thanks for the inspiration!
i Love quilting because it lets me be creative and expressive! i enjoy all the parts of the process – choosing fabrics, choosing a pattern, piecing, quilting, binding, and using the finished quilt!
Isn’t fabric fun!? It feels good. And all those colors!
Quilting is very relaxing to me and I love creating and giving my creations to those I love!
I love that quilting is the one thing I do in the day that stays done

Quilting is so relaxing, nice change of pace from the workday.
I love quilting because it is so fulfilling to be able to create beautiful things like these quilts. I also feel like I’m passing on a legacy started with my grandmother when was a young girl watching her quilt!
I love quilting because of the happy look on the persons face that i made it for. I do have a quote that i have learned to live by : I think my guardian angle drinks! lol
I love the fabric, the designs, the history, the putting together of the pieces, like a puzzle, and sitting at my machine and sewing. The best part is the end when it all comes together and you have a quilt. That’s so pleasing.
Love the colors. I also quilt to relax. My husband thinks I am crazy but that ok
I love to quilt because it is fun to make patterns and pictures out of little scraps!
Quilting and a good book are the best ways to spend any day!

I think what I love about quilting is equally the creative aspect and the friendship aspect that it gives me.
I love quilting because it allows me to be creative. It relaxes me and when I am creating I am super happy!
Quilting is a way for me to release creative energy! After chasing 4 kids all day, nothing feels better at the end of the day than sitting down in front of my sewing machine for a bit!
I love quilting because I can create my own world with fabric and then I share it with family and friends.
I love taking beautiful fabric and creating something warm and useful with it. Quilting is a creative outlet for me, and also a stress reliever, unless I make a mistake and have to unpick stitches!
Thanks for the super cute shoe bag pattern. I need to make a few of those so when I travel I can cover all my shoes I have to take with me. We know we have to take a pair for each outfit we pack!
quilting is my therapy, relax and absolutely pure love …
I love the Folklore line and thank you for a great pattern the shoe bag!

I have been sewing since I was 10 and I love it. Then the quilting bug hit me at 45 and I am so glad I got that bug!
I’m a pastry chef and have been quilting for just one year. I love quilting because its not sticky and I don’t have to do dishes! All kidding aside, I love the feel, smell and colors of great fabric. Combining them into a quilt is so rewarding and relaxing! Thank for the generous offer to share the pattern and fabric!
Great blog hop, neat letters, see many pillows in my future. Always looking for travel bag patterns. Thanks
Love the fabric and the quilt!, making quilts is my zen place and always inspired by innovative designers like you!
I started quilting a little over a year ago. I can’t believe it but I have fallen in love with fabric. I love brights, retro and repro… I love the piecing part the most. I dislike binding. I find that it is very rewarding to make a quilt and give it to someone special…
Thank you for a chance to win the fabric… The colors are so fresh and springtime..
I love to quilt because I can make something beautiful and useful at the same time. Since I was a kid, I’ve loved working with textiles. Thanks for the chance to win your beautiful fabric.
I love quilting because of the fabric.
Sometimes I have a hard time quilting because I just can’t give up the fabric.
I love quilting and sewing because it’s a chance to create something unique and meaning-filled; something that could passed down for generations to come.
I have always been in love with fabric. Quilting allows me to use a spectrum of colors and textures to create wonderful things to share. Piecing quilts really is therapy for me.

I love quilting because it enables me to make special gifts to give to family and friends. The fact that they enjoy them and that I enjoyed making them is a win-win.
I saw this fabric just before it came out and I fell in love with it. This fabric is an inspiration.
Quilting has become my creative escape from reality. I love it, but don’t do it often enough
I love quilting because I have three teenage sons and it is cheaper than therapy! Plus it’s my ‘girl thing” that I do just for me. I love making quilts for others, and it’s a great feeling to finally finish a project.
Quilting was my life preserve when we became x-pats for 5 years in Asia. It was through quilting that I made friends abroad, that I treasure as much as the quilting projects I made with them.
My love of quilting, all of it (fabrics, notions, colors, shopping), brought my best friends into my life. As a group we have used our love to make quilts for military, veterans, hospice patients and children. It gives all of us great satisfaction. Thank you for the opportunity
I love quilting because it’s my one creative outlet. I have 4 sisters and they are all talented in so many ways, but sewing is uniquely mine! Can’t wait for Folklore!
I love quilting because it brings joy to others and it allows me to be creative. I love designing new patterns and projects.
Sewing in any form but quilt has something special about it that I love. I sew for my 4 girls so there is always a project I can immerse myself in!!
Thank you for your wonderful blog and for giving me “my” letter (for Laura). Love your fabric. I have a fat quarter tower of your lovely fabrics sitting in my sewing room just waiting for the perfect inspiration. (Along with a Layer Cake and a Jelly Roll). I Really love your fabric!!! The next ones look equally Luscious!!!
I was a stay-at-home mom for 25 years, and I loved every minute of it! When my youngest child went off to college, I got depressed. I didn’t know who I was without kids to care for. I had always wanted to learn to quilt, and thankfully two good friends taught me how. Quilting saved me. It makes me feel good about myself. I love the sense of accomplishment it brings me.
I have been quilting for 22 years and I can’t imagine my life with out fondling fabric! I love calling up my girlfriends for “stitchin’ in the kitchen” a cup of coffee, a hand project and laughter. What can be better?
Gorgeous fabric!!!!!!
I love quilting because it seems to let the stress I feel just melt away!
I love quilting because I love to create and sew and to make things for people that make them happy. It is my therapy, my passion and just fun!

Thanks a lot for your shoes bag pattern. I’m from Spain and hope you enjoy León and all my country
Quilting makes me happy!
I love making stuff and buying fabric to make stuff. I love the social aspect of quilting with classes, groups and the online world also.
I love quilting because I love the idea of making something with love that I can give to someone to provide warmth and a memory forever. The high street line is gorgeous.
Quilting is zen for me – relaxing.
Quilting is my sanity – less now than when I first started with five active sons and me an only child, but still very important!
Quilting is therapy and a creative outlet. Plus you get to play with all that wonderful fabric.
Quilting is all about color and creativity for me. I’m very much a novice too and while I feel I am always on a learning curve in regards to technique, I am loving what I’m learning.
I love quilting because it is my relaxation and my joy. It is such a pleasure for me to be able to give someone a gift I have planned especially for them.
Working with fabric and playing with color, combining the these two loves together, is why I make quilt.
I love quilting because I get to play with colors and fabrics and stitches and make something fun. II can create beauty, warmth and something that gives me joy.
Quilting is a therapy for me and a creative outlet for ideas!
I have done some sewing for years but when it got to where arthritis prevented me from working outside the home I had to fill my day with something. So I started quilting because it was something I could do a little at a time when I felt good. Even though my husband thinks I’m a bit crazy I love quilting!!
Beautiful fabric!!! I love watching a pattern emerge when sewing material together.
I love quilting because: its fun picking out fabric, and making something neat and beautiful. I started out quilting with our first baby. I wanted each of our children to have a baby quilt, something they could cherish in the years to come. Quilting to me means Love and Comfort that becomes a treasure and heirloom.
Love the look of the new fabric. So refreshing to see such pretty fun colors and patterns while we continue on with this long, cold winter!! Thanks for the fun post and for the pattern
I love quilting because I love how the colors come together and the outcome ends up being a beautiful surprise. Oh and I love the colors in your Folklore collection….especially the oranges.
I love quilting because I love making beautiful objects to give to people I love!
I love the colors and patterns of the quilts, and the many variations of the two. There is so much talent out there!
It keeps the mind stimulated (even in your sleep!).
Ilove quilting because it is relaxing, and I have a lovely quilt.
I love quilting because of the creativity I have to express myself and at the same time make something useful!! No one has ever turned down a quilted gift and nothing has ever given me the level satisfaction as I have when giving a gift of a quilt.!
I love quilting because there are no limits to where you can take imagination. Love the fabrics in your preview, can’t wait for them to hit the shelves.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful colors and your daughter’s talents. Quilting, pottery whatever it takes to show our creative abilities is so fun! Thanks for the giveaway! and the bag pattern
I love quilting because I love the beautiful finished product.
I also love the letter L. My given name is Elizabeth , but everyone calls me Liza. I enjoy quilting because it is way to be creative with all the beautiful fabrics and then you are rewarded with a quilt in the end.
Quilting allows me to use a different facet of my creativity textile-wise. I dabble in watercolor but you get splatters. Not with fabric clippings! Lol. Also, it can be quite meditative for me after dealing with busyness of life!
Quilting is relaxing to me- a challenge and some stress relief at the same time, if that makes any sense.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love quilting because I can create something that put’s ME into it, but I don’t have to be an artist to do it. I never felt creative until I found quilting. Even when I follow someone’s pattern, I’m still choosing my own fabrics, colors, and maybe even changing the pattern up a little bit to suit myself. It’s so relaxing and enjoyable. I’ve been doing it 4 years now, and I will never stop.
I love that I have an amazing piece of art when I am finished with a quilt.
I love High Street and you used two of my favorite colors. I quilt because it gives me the chance to transform fabric into a work of art, a cherished future heirloom or even a utility item.
I love quilting because I love fabric –like your amazing Folklore line! I learn something new with every quilt I make and I learn a lot about myself in the quilting process too. How great that the outcome is that someone has something homemade, comfy and cozy to curl up in!
looking forward to seeing more of folklore!
I love quilting, because I love gorgeous fabrics and then can see them all the time in my house
Thank you for a chance to win…..love your fabric!
I love quilting for a few reasons. First I’m still a novice and I find quilting to be a bit of a challenge sometimes–a good challenge. It helps me to think and to focus. I’m sure it will help to keep my mind sharp when I’m old someday. LOL! It is also a fabulous way to make friends and then to share with those friends in so many ways. It is a great creative outlet as well as a way to leave something to my family, be it a quilt or passing on the tradition of quilting to my daughters.
Cathy ♥
I really enjoy your fabric, the designs are wonderful and the colors are so happy!
Quilting takes me to a place that is so relaxing that hours roll by before I realize it! I am a 911 Dispatcher and have a stressful job so I ***NEED*** quilting!
The letter L is the first letter of both mine and my sister’s names. Also my granddaughter’s! My mother says it is one of the most poetic sounds. The Folklore collection is lovely! Thank you!
Quilting is my stress reliever. I start each morning sewing, but I’ve learned I have to set a timer or I lose track of time.
Quilting makes me happy! Who doesn’t love all the beautiful fabric available, especially yours. Thanks for the chance to win.
Lol, your happiest high school memory is hilarious!!!! You rebellious you!
I love everything about quilting! The creative process, the planning, the stalking quilt stores to find just the right fabric, the piecing it together. Well, I don’t love the final quilting part, but I do love being able to send it out to someone who does and and LOVE getting back a beautiful quilt.
I love, love, love your fabric!!! Quilting is my passion and I most enjoy making things for family and friends to celebrate momentous occasions.
I love quilting! My finished quilts bring joy to others and provides me stress relief therapy!
quilting soothes me, like nothing else can. I love to create. I love to stitch. it is peaceful.
thanks for sharing your bag with us, and thanks for the chance at a wonderful prize
I love quilting because of the creativity, but these days also for the stress relief and feeling of accomplishment. I’m a stay at home mom and not much else I do during the day stays done for very long.
Two of the things I love about quilting are First I find in relaxing and great stress relief but secondly its the amazing people I get to meet, from the ladies in my weekly group to the great designers and inspirational people I meet “online”. Thankyou
I love to pet my Lovely fabric.
I love quilting…. Especially giving them away and seeing their expressions when they get one.
Donna
I love the word love and leaves and licorice and goes without saying I love quilting and colors
I love quilting because it’s so creative and helps with my PTSD. It has such a rich history too. It’s also very social. The quilting groups I’ve seen are much more open and welcoming to people then other types of groups.
I love quilting because it means I get to create something beautiful out of something beautiful, and because it’s made me some amazing friends
I love quilting because it gives me the satisfaction of being creative
I love to work with my hands and have the quiet time. It is amazing the creativity that comes with a little bit of quiet time.
Quilting is a great creative outlet! There are so many different types of quilting – traditional, modern, art quilting, etc. – and I love to do them all!
Quilting is like therapy for me. It’s relaxing, creative and fun. I enjoy the beauty of the fabrics even if I don’t use them in a project. Quilters are the most wonderful people who can come together from all walks of life and share a common interest.
I love to sew and I love fabric. Quilting lets me be creative and make beautiful things to give to those I love!
I love to create and give a fabric hug to people – quilting is very important to me.
I love fabric and the best thing to do is make a quilt that can give your love to someone.
Quilting is an outlet for creativity! Love your fabric designs!
Being creative with fabric is important to me. I love it when a young person takes an interest.
I quilt because it lets me create something beautiful, enjoyable by others and also practical
I’ve only been quilting for about 5 years now and the beet thing about it is the wonderful friend ive found along the way’s
When my husband suggests I’m buying more fabric than I need, I remind him therapy would be more expensive. Quilting is my therapy. Can’t wait to see the ‘Folklore’ collection in shops!!
I don’t know exactly, I just do. Lots of pleasant aspects, quietly quilting alone and thinking or working in a pleasant group and communicating. Creating an art piece or a utilitarian blanket. It just feels right.
I love quilting because it is creative and relaxing for me, especially hand stitching.
I like quilting for 2 somewhat contradictory reasons. First, I can be creative in quilting. I don’t “do” art with any other medium, but I feel confident enough to be creative with fabric, color and design in quilting. Second, at the same time I feel free with quilting, I also like the precision of piecing. Quilting brings me great joy.
I love quilting because I can relax and spend time with my family (grandma, mom and aunts) while we quilt together!
Quilting surrounds me with gorgeous fabrics in every shade of the rainbow and beyond – it allows my creativity to rush out and I end up with a beautiful gift to give to someone I love – or a wonderful cozy quilt to sleep under. I love pulling different fabrics out and simply handling them and feeling the texture of them as I work on a project. Quilting is peaceful, and also great fun when my quilting friends share quilting time together.
Quilting allows me to be as creative as I want to be. I am inspired by many sewists, and there are beautiful quilts at all skill levels. Thank you for the chance to win. Love High Street!
I love quilting because it keeps me sane. There is nothing more soothing than to play with gorgeous fabrics and to end up with something both beautiful and useful. Louise xx
It’s neat to create something beautiful and I’ve several to do. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the beautiful eye candy and inspiration on your blog! I love quilting because it is creative, relaxing, and produces lovely things.
I like quilting because it is a big stress reliever for me. I find it helps me relax. It is also a way to be creative.
I love quilting because I love to play with fabric and be creative.
Absolutely LOVE the High Street fabric and pattern!! Love all your fabrics.
I work with numbers all day. Quilting gives me a creative outlet and I don’t have to please anyone but myself.
I think everyone’s life is enhanced by living with quilted objects, so I love quilting so that I can create these objects.
I love quilting for many reasons: it is relaxing, I love the fabrics, quilters are some of the nicest people, it connects me with my past, and it allows me to express my creativity.
I love playing with fabric!
Quilting is my therapy! Sew much fun with quilty friends!
I love playing with fabrics and designing new quilts! I love,
love, love the colors in High Street and your new collection.
I love quilting, because what’s better than working with beautiful fabrics, and making something warm and wonderful. I love wrapping up in a quilt, and I also love making quilts for others to wrap with. Love the colors in Folklore!
I started quilting to have something to do and just fell in love with it. The colors and patterns really got my creative juices flowing. The people I meet are all wonderful, helpful, kind and talented!
I love the relaxing and creative outlet quilting provides. Thanks for a great giveaway.
I love quilting for the attitude of the fabrics, the creativity of the design, the satisfaction of accomplishing something that’s cool, and mostly because my 81 year old mother and I are making quilting memories as she shares her quilt knowledge with me!
I love quilting because it acts as a creative outlet without being stressful or overly expensive. It also has the added benefit of having a tangible project when you finish! I beam with pride when people say “You made this?! That’s amazing!”
I love to quilt because of the creativity involved, the opportunity to play with lots of fabrics and the development of wonderful friendships.
I love quilting for so many reasons. It quiets my nerves, fulfills my need to be creative, allows me to gift others with practical, usable gifts, fills my days with fabrics, ideas and joy. Thanks for sharing and for the chance at your wonderful fabrics.
I have loved quilting since I was a little girl. I have such fond memories of making my first quilt, that I don’t ever want to stop. When I was ten years old in the 1962, I asked all my neighbors for fabric and my mom taught me to hand sew a Nine Patch Block. Mom helped me put all the blocks together and Dad built a quilt frame. The best part is the whole family helped quilt, including my 2 older brothers. Lots of sore fingers later, we had a finished quilt and the best part is that I still have it today. Good memories!!
I have been quilting for only a year, but I love it mostly because it reminds me of my mother since she taught me to sew and use the sewing machine. I miss her everyday but know she would LOVE that I am sewing again.
I am new to quilting so right now it’s just learning and experimenting with colors and patterns.
I love the sound of the sounding machine, the feel of the fabric, the smell of color and the calmness that I experience as I piece the quilt top and then the flow of the longarm as I finish my quilt story.
Your fabrics are fun and happy!
I love quilting as I have fond memories of my grandmother who taught me to quilt. She has passed, but I am sure that she would be amazed at all the new tools, gadgets, etc., that have come out. Back in the day we made our templates out of shirt boxes with fine grit sandpaper on the back. Quilting is what helps keep me sane!
Love your gorgeous fabrics! What a beautiful quilt they would make! Thanks for the pattern.
I love quilting because it is theraputic. I have been quilting longer than I have been a teacher and nearly as long as I have been married. I sometimes worry about how much money I spend on my quilting, but then I think that if I did not have quilting as my outlet, I would probably end up having to be on medication and seeing a shrink. Those would certainly add up to more than my fabric habit! Thanks for your giveaway!
I love the shoe bag pattern! Thank you so much!
LOVE the newest fabric line! I LOVE sewing for many reasons- creating something comforting and Lasting, watching my Isabella create and fall in love with fabric and sewing, time to relax, think, and petting the fabric!
I quilt because I love to create things and play with fabric. It also brought me closer to my grandma and mom.
I love quilting as it stretches my creativity and use of color. I have met so many nice people when taking classes or going to open sews at my cousins. We become friends easily and share tips on quilting, family and food. Its a wonderful community to belong to.
When I need a sanity break, to quilting I go, this has to be the best remedy of all times!! Stress reliever is also a quality that quilting will bring me. I throughly enjoy it. Thanks for the great pattern.
I love the beautiful colors and feel of fabric and then.. I love cutting up fabric and sewing it back together to make some entirely different and just as beautiful.
Thanks for the free pattern. I love sewing as a way to destress and create fun things.
Gorgeous new fabric!
I love quilting for many reasons, but one of the main ones is that the possibilities are infinite! It’s also kind of like “cut & paste” for grown ups, fun and creative. The opposite of accounting, my first profession!
I really love the fabrics. They are very inspireing, High Street being one of my favorites at the moment. I also enjoy all the different ways the different shapes you cut from the yardage can be sewn back together.
I love quilting because it is carrying on a craft that began many years ago. And I love working with fabrics and being creative.
Quilting brings me such joy…and working with amazing fabric like yours makes it even better!
I love quilting because I get to buy all the pretty fabrics!
I love your bag. Those are some really great fabric choices. I just love those colors.

Quilting is my stress reliever. Thanks for the chance to win.
Folklore is very pretty. Thanks for the free pattern.
I love quilting because it connects me with my grandmother who passed away while I was still in high school. She was a world class published quilter. Everyone in our family received a coveted quilt at some point or another and our history is bound in those pieces of fabric and batting.
I just love the process, reading the pattern, cutting the pieces and sewing them together..trying each time for perfection
Maggey
I love quilting because it is something I can share and work on with my friends or something I can work on in the solitude of my studio. When I’m stressed, I close the door on the world and work in the quiet of my studio. I love the feel of the fabric and the tools and my machines! I love teaching new quilters and I love working on group projects. In a perfect world, I’d be a full time quilter!!
I love fabric and quilting it takes me to a calm and happy place. I love the pinks and oranges in your line.
Great fabrics! Cute shoe bag. Thanks for the giveaway.

I love Quilting, because it gives me “Me Moments” if I want them…and “Mom & Daughter Moments” when my 2 Daughter’s can be here to join me (one lives in NC). Quilting is fun, creative way to make gifts From the Heart.
I love to quilt because it gives me the opportunity to be creative and make something for the people I care about. It also gives me sanity after work.
I love the colors and feel of fabric. Love your High Street line and looking forward to your new line!
I’m literally always thinking about my quilting and fabric. I’m happiest when I’m simply piecing fabric together, I love the hum of the machine and crisp ironed creases.
Your fabrics are so amazing! Love the small grey flowers and the yellow version of the same print.
What a great giveaway. I remember doing lots of crafts with my granddaughter when she was 8 or 9, but she is almost 18 and is more interested in her boyfriend and volleyball, not necessarily in that order.
Thanks,
Peggy
Love your fabric line. Also love your free patterns. Going to put those to good use, hopefully real soon. Love sewing, and just getting into quilting. So much fun, and what a stress reliever!
I love quilting. It helps me be creative and relieve stress. I love Folklore and can’t wait to make something beautiful out of it.
Quilting is my stress therapy. I can wrap myself up creating something and get away from the craziness for a while.
I love quilting because it’s my creative outlet and a huge stress reliever. It’s amazing how fast the day flies by when you can spend it in the sewing room.
Love the new fabric! I love to quilt…it’s my “me” time at night.
quilting allows me to zone out of life for a while and do something calming and enjoyable
I love quilting as it ties me to the past and present at the same time, all the while giving me something beautiful to look at! Thank you for the shoe bag pattern, it’s lovely!
I love the process of quilting ~ every step from the choosing of fabric to the finished quilt, but my favorite part is hand sewing the binding. I can relax at that point!
I enjoy the problem solving aspect of quilting. I like the challenge of using scraps, making “something out of nothing”. And I love the “make-do” aspect – running out of a fabric and substituting another that might be even better than the first.
I give most of my quilts as gifts to family members. I love that I get joy not only from the giving but also from the making. And that they get a gift that is practical as well as beautiful and was made especially for them.
Quilting is creative expression, precise and colorful, and time just for me. High Street is so lovely and happy and I would be so happy to win some! Thank you for the chance!
Beautiful Fabric! I love quilting because it helps me relax and I love to make things! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love, love the bright colors in Lily Ashbury fabrics!! I would never have picked yellow and pink together until I saw High Street. Thanks for participating in the blog hop and thank you for the shoe bag pattern. I have a gift to make for a friend.
Thanks for the pattern!
I love quilting because right now it’s my sanity. I can’t work right now, so I quilt.
What’s NOT to like about quilting – well, maybe the price of supplies. But creativity, friendship, quiet times, crazy retreat fun, something to show for your efforts, fabric, usually something useful at end, fabric & colors, machines, did I mention fabric?
Creativity and Laughter (there’s the L) are what get me through each day!

I taught myself to quilt when I was in my 20′s. I love to think of the person that I am sewing for while I’m doing it. It is so calming and relaxing – I still like to hand quilt but want to learn to machine quilt too. Thanks for the chance to win!

Love to quilt
I am not terribly creative or spatial. But, I can sew a straight line and I can combine fabrics and somehow, this stick-figure artist can pull off something that is beautiful! When my mom passed, she left me a little money in an envelop and told me to buy a present for myself. I bought a sewing machine. every time I sit in front of the machine, I feel connected to mom.:-)
I love quilting because it gives me a chance to put a tiny piece of my heart into fabric and it can then be wrapped around someone I love! And, well, frankly, because it’s an excuse to collect an awesome amount of fabric!
Love your fabric colors. So beautiful and cheerful. I love quilting because the end result is a creation that either makes your house more a home or is a joy to give to friends and family. Nothing is better than home made love to gift.
Quilting – just makes me happy! “L”OVE new line can’t wait it makes me happy!
Great fabrics! Love (and needed) the shoe bag pattern. Thanks so much!
I love to quilt because I am creating something something new and different. I spend time with friends sewing quilts and sharing our lives.
I love quilting because of all the beautiful fabrics. MIT gives one a chance to play with color, texture and form. Also, I’m not one that does well unless I have a project so it keeps my mind and fingers busy. Thanks for the generous giveaway . Love your beautiful designs!

Quilting is a great stress reliever. It also fuels my creative self, and it’s something that I do just for me.
Quilting lowers my stress level, seems I just get lost in my own little bubble!!
I feel refreshed and renewed when I quilt. There must be endomorphs involved because I get a “runner’s high” when I quilt. Thanks
I have always had a million reasons for loving to quilt but my newest reason is seeing how excited my three year old daughter gets when I hand her something I have made. The look of excitement on her face is priceless and she gets so excited, showing these things off to whoever enters the house. What an amazing feeling that is.
I love quilting because I can express myself in fabrics and the designs in the quilt.
Loving life…. thank you for the free pattern
I like quilting because it provides a creative outlet for me. Drawing, painting, etc. are beyond my abilities but I can play with gorgeous fabric and make something unique and beautiful. Plus quilts make great gifts.
I love quilting because it keeps my mind active all the time…but about something I love. Everyone should have such a pleasant preoccupation!

Thanks so much for the wonderful giveaway!!
I love quilting because it comforts me.
I love quilting so much because everyday is a learning day. I get to ‘meet’people from all over the world, learn new skills and give myself some me time. Thanks for the chance to win. Good luck everyone!!

Quilting lets me forget all the things that are wrong in the world I get into my own little world where the only thing that exists is joy
I love quilting because it’s “me” time. It relaxes me and allows me to be creative. I have a technical career and I need the freedom of choice. I love Highstreet! I’m finishing a quilt right now of paper pieced stars made from your line and I would love some more of it!

I LOVE quilting. I absolutely LOVE that I get to do it every day and see the smiles on someone’s face when they see what I’ve made them. I also love your Folklore collection and can’t wait for it to show up in my LQS.
My favorite part of quilting is the development of the design, from pieces of fabric to a finished work, the process of watching it emerge is so rewarding.
I am a fairly new quilter but I find it so relaxing. I love using beautiful fabric to make something special for those that I love. Thank you for the chance to win!
I love the whole process of quilting, well maybe not the trimming, I can use the most outrageous mix of colour and patterns in a traditional design. My favourite blocks have HST and/or Flying Geese in them, I save every scrap and make improvised blocks.
Quilting is definitely cheaper than therapy (except maybe “retail” therapy at my local quilt shop).
While quilting, I listen to audiobooks. I’m doing 2 of my most favorite things at the same time!
Thanks for the shoe bag pattern. I also love the the coffee/wine quote. I love quilting because it reminds me of my Grandmother and my mom, but also for it’s creative outlet.
Love the pretty bright fabrics! The shoe bag pattern is so nice – thanks for sharing and for the chance to win some of your great fabrics!
My name starts with L – Lena
Such cheerful fabric! That is what it is all about right? Fabric that makes us happy
I love quilting because I enjoy picking out beautiful fabrics and putting them together to create one beautiful piece of art. Plus I live in Minnesota and we can never have too many quilts.
L is for our new great grandson, Liam!! Such pretty fabrics and so happy!!
I love quilting because it involves working with my hands which I find relaxing, and then finally the colours all come together to surprise me.
For me quilting is a lasting expression of love.
Sewing and quilting keeps me sane! Thank you for the pattern.
I love the creativity and beautiful colors in quilting.
I love quilting for the creative outlet it provides and for allowing me a way to give very personal gifts to my loved ones.
I think that pulling pretty fabrics to make a new creation is my favorite part of quilting, as is the actual quilting part. Piecing is a bit tedious.
Quilting makes me happy! I love seeing how quilts start as fabric on a bolt and become beautiful works of love.
Too many quilts not enough time. love the fabric thanks for the giveaway
