Quilting keeps my mind alert but is coming at the same time.
ReplyDeleteQuilting is making the world more beauteful, and I happy to be a pert of this action!
ReplyDeleteI love how life can be so difficult sometimes, but I can get lost in my quilting and make something beautiful during a time that wasn't so great. I guess I would call that quilting my troubles away. :)
ReplyDeleteI love having a creative and useful outlet for stress and at the same time sharing my passion with so many by gifting the quilts or sharing my own designs with others.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about quilting from picking out fabric and pattern to making the quilt and quilting it
ReplyDeleteRelaxation and creativity!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pin down one thing I love about quilting! I love being creative, the colours, and basically playing with fabric jigsaw puzzle pieces.
ReplyDeleteI love quilting because it's a great way to show the people I love how much I care about them, and unlike the other art work and crafts I've done, the end product is useful too. I also love the colors and texture of fabrics, and the challenge of putting it all together to get a beautiful end product. jadahlgr at Yahoo dot Com

ReplyDeleteFrom piles of fabric to how it goes together to make something awesome. I love everything about quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love quilting. It gives me an opportunity to be creative, forces me to slow down and take my time, and is my therapy as well as my hobby. I love making quilts and items, with love, for family and friends, and it thrills me to know that my grandchildren are warm and cuddled in something I have made for them. It's a hug I can give them anytime, especially when I'm not there in person.
ReplyDeleteI love the process of watching a quilt come together. I also love the visual effect of hand quilting. Thanks for the opportunity!

ReplyDeleteI love it all. From choosing the fabric to cutting to piecing. And I love the time spent with other quilter's--the creative energy is contagious. Plus I love sitting under a quilt
ReplyDeleteI love starting with pieces of fabric and seeing what the quilt will look like when it is finished.
ReplyDeleteEverything from looking at patterns, selecting fabric, sewing (and unsewing) and, the best of all, the joy and pleasure of seeing the faces of the friends, family, and strangers when they are given a gift of love to keep forever.
ReplyDeleteit is my happy place. bringing together fabric, pattern, and time to create something that will be loved.
ReplyDeleteI love being creative, and making something that I feel is beautiful. I find the process very relaxing after a day of work as a nurse, a career I love, but that can be stressful and mentally and physically draining. Quilting recharges my batteries!
ReplyDeleteI love the comfort that quilts give to people and for the friendships that I've made through quilting.
ReplyDeleteThe friendships are the best! Nicest people in the world!
ReplyDeleteI love that there is always a "next" challenge so I can keep on learning and exploring new things.

ReplyDeleteI love picking out all the fabrics and colors to put into a quilt. It is amazing to see my vision come together as the quilt comes together.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love most about quilting is the sharing that it leads too. I am fortunate enough to meet almost weekly with friends for a quilting day. I have always been a fabric lover since I was a little girl, and quilting fulfills needs on so many different levels. I can't imagine life without that joy.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting friendships
ReplyDeleteI love the relaxation of sewing and quilting and the camaraderie of friends!
ReplyDeleteI love to look at the colors and patterns in fabric, put them together and dream how the set would look together. Then I love the zen of quarter inch seams.

ReplyDeleteCaribousmom (at) aol.com
I don't make or create anything in my job. Making quilts fills that desire to create. When I quilt, I create a warm, useful, tangible item for myself or a loved one. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction. ljbisme at msn dot com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun giveaway Kimberley! My favorite thing about quilting is that it gives us the ability to express our artistic and creative sides and provide comfort and show love to others, all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of quilting is shopping for the fabric.
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting Day! I love the friendships that my quilting hobby has brought me. I've met many wonderful ladies who share my passion and who I enjoy spending time with. Thank you for a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love that I can make something beautiful that is also useful. Though I am not sure anyone really needs a few hundred quilts...LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!

I love to sit in my chair and applique while I watch TV or listen to audio books.
ReplyDeleteThat's life
Of all the sewing I do, quilting is my favorite - it satisfies all the fun and creativity that sewing gives to me and then makes someone else happy with the finished quilt! Thanks for the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI love playing with fabrics, colors and shapes ! Being creative makes me feel free !
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the picking of a pattern and then playing with the color combinations to see how it all looks in the end. I have a limited attention span so usually adjust the pattern somehow because I didn't read it correctly. 😁 Everything usually all works out.
ReplyDeletetracinecharest at Gmail dot com
I love playing with the machine quilting and finishing a quilt. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy creating my own puzzle with fabric-it's fun and challenging!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about quilting, but as a longarmer I love the quilting process probably best!
ReplyDeleteI love Fat Quarter Shop. I am so glad I found you. Over the years you have been such an inspiration to all of us.
ReplyDeletei just know personally, I am taking care of my 93 year old parents (they are adorable) and coming home in the evening and reading your creative and enthusiastic ideas and designs, makes me happy.
I love making things to give to people I love. I have some large quilt tops made but I am afraid to quilt them. The smaller quilts for babies and even wall hangings I love making them.
I know I am not the only person that hoards fabric, then cuts it up, sews it back together AND THEN WE GIVE IT AWAY!! Because it is the love that we have for making pretty things
I love the colors, the feel of fabric and the fact that I do this just for me.
ReplyDeleteI just love the creative process of making a quilt - and that you end up with something handmade in the end! Happy National Quilting Day!
ReplyDeleteI love the relaxing effects that quilting brings to me. I have been quilting for over 25 years and still enjoy the recipients expressions when I hand over a piece of my heart through a quilt project made especially for them.
ReplyDeleteI love making and giving quilts for special occasions...babies, weddings, etc. To me, they are works of love that last a lifetime!

ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful fabrics and I especially love the tutorials that are out there that help me learn new skills!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I will start again!
ReplyDeleteWhen the stresses of the world enter my life, I quilt my sorrows away!
There are two things I love about quilting. Choosing beautiful fabric with a special person in mind and the lovely smiles of the people I gift quilts to for a variety of reasons. Makes it all worth while - and the making of the quilt is my "meditation". Happy NQD - and the Fat Quarter Shop for this draw.
ReplyDeleteI love the designing, the use of color but most of all I love the people I have met in the quilting community.
ReplyDeleteQuilting keeps me out of trouble...unless I'm shopping for fabric! LOL
ReplyDeleteSeriously, quilting is relaxing and nothing is more comforting that decorating with quilts, plus they make perfect quilts.
I love the fact that the final product of combined creativity and beautiful fabrics is both utilitarian and decorative.
ReplyDeleteThe process of creating quilts has comforted me as much as the recipients of the finished quilt. A day without working on a quilt feels a bit empty! Thank you for the generous giveaway contest!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is a personal challenge for me. I try to improve my stitching and precision every quilt I make and I love to look at the very first quilt I made and see how much I have learned since I first started this wonderful hobby.
ReplyDeleteI love the feel of fabric, the look of the fabric design, and the resulting smiles when you gift a quilt to someone. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteBesides the pleasure of making a quilt I love the community of quilters who are so supportive.

ReplyDeleteI love the design process (particularly working with color), but I also love the way quilting bonds me together with friends and family.
ReplyDeleteQuilting is my creative outlet & I don't know what I would do without it. I love planning new projects, hunting for just the perfect fsbric & then seeing the bed product especially if it is made for someone I love.
ReplyDeleteBecause of quilting, I have friends all over the world that I would never have known otherwise. One of my dearest friends lives in England. Also, quilting has brought me closer to my sister. We love to talk about fabrics, colors, and patterns together.
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting Day. I love that quilting brings so much color and beautiful fabrics into my life. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteОчень люблю шить!Хочется с вами творить красоту.Я живу далеко-на Украине,но душой вместе с вами.
ReplyDeleteQuilting with my sister and best friend bring so much joy to my heart! Each piece put together is like a puzzle and brings a memory to share with friends and family
ReplyDeleteMarrying into a family of grown children, it was hard for them to accept me as the new love of their dad's life after the death of their mom. Making each one a quilt and knowing the time and effort it took to pick out and complete each one for them has brought us a step closer together. I love this fact--seeing the look on their faces and watching them use the quilts has warmed my heart tremendously.
ReplyDeleteI love the FABRIC!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is my therapy! I solve so many problems during this "me" time!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is my life. It makes me so happy. I recently had surgery and couldn't sew for a week or two. Watching your videos on YouTube really helped to pass the time and kept me from getting the shakes from quilting withdrawal. ;) Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric and all the colors! Now off to sew!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric! Especially when it comes from the Fat Quarter Shop and bears the name Moda! kmcassie at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the inspiration you give to the worldwide quilting community. I love quilting because it provides an outlet from stress and putting together fabric and colors just makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is my new retirement passion after pursuing it half-halfheartedly for years. It makes my heart sing and my family and friends smile.
ReplyDeleteQuilting helps me unwind after a stressful day at work. I quilt instead of going to counseling!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the whole process, especially thinking about the next quilt! And the quilting community is full of inspiring people.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about quilting! The design process, the piecing, basting, quilting, and binding! Of course, choosing the fabric is the best part!
ReplyDeleteI have been busy today hand quilting pebbles on a table runner... That is what I love most about quilting: hand quilting!!! Thanks for your he chance, this would be awesome to win!!
ReplyDeleteI love the peace that quilting brings me. When I sit with fabric in my hand, my troubles just fade away.
ReplyDeleteWish I had more time to quilt but I do manage to make 2-3 a year. My projects are always a breeze when I know I can rely on Fat Quarter shop for great online fabric purchases!
ReplyDeleteI love the overall creative process...I have always sewn but no longer wanted to make clothing. Quilting has satisfied every need to sew, play with fabric, designs and colors.
ReplyDeleteI love using my down time (most of the time) for something fun and productive. The rewards of family members cherishing the quilts I give them is immeasurable. Thank you for the giveaway and the shop.

Quilting satisfies both arts and crafts----and I love fabric. I make scrappy quilts using old clothes as well as new fabric that I just HAVE to have!
ReplyDelete1. Friendship
ReplyDelete2. Quilts stay done. Housework has to be done over and over and over. When a quilt is done it stays that way.
I love the concrete accomplishment that it gives me. It's hard in my life as a Mom to see what I'm doing as doing something. Quilting gives that to me.
ReplyDeleteI love picking out the fabric for a new quilt! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletebirdlvr (at) gmx (dot) com
I love the fabric and also the surprise when I make a quilt for someone and give it to them. The expression on their face is priceless.
ReplyDeleteI love how sitting at my machine gives me time to relax and reflect on how the project at hand will bless another person. Quilting is not only history being passed on but Love that will wrap you up even when the loved one has gone:)
ReplyDeleteThe colors, the design, rolling around in the fabric, throwing it up in the air, finishing and cuddling the quilt. Most of all thinking about the person and praying for them as I make the quilt. No, wait,did I mention the happiness I feel when I enter my quilt room and can create.
ReplyDeleteLove to quilt!Love to make baby charity quilts that is my passion>giving to others! Thank You Fat Quarter Shop for being our go-to-shop for supplies! Thank You for this Giveaway+the many many other giveaways you have shared!
ReplyDeleteI guess I love rotary cutting, in a way. It's a challenge to see how precise I can be.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the creating process from picking patter to fabric and how to back it and finish it - I guess the whole process tom begging to end of my creation.
ReplyDeleteQuilting has made my retirement the best days of my life. I have met wonderful new friends, gave beautiful gifts to my friends and family and look forward to seeing a new pattern I have to make. Now I have lots of time to shop and sew.
ReplyDeleteKaren R.
It is very hard to choose just one thing I love about quilting but I guess it would be picking out the colors and fabrics to use.

ReplyDeleteQuilting brings me joy! To be able to make something beautiful and give it away is satisfying to the soul!
ReplyDeleteWhat I love most about quilting is being able to create a special gift to give to those I love.
ReplyDeletecwayons(at)yahoo(dot)com
You mean besides the color and textures and forms of quiltin? I know for a fact that the reason I still quilt are the people I find in quilting...their hears and hands make a wonderfull world to share.
ReplyDeleteQuilting quenches my desire to create in a new way every time I begin a project. There is always something new to learn.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy "shopping my stash" for fabrics...some from friends, some from past sewing projects, and some from my VAST collection of charm pack sets (my weakness!) ALL gathered into a scrap quilt full of memories and vibrant colors!

I know that when I am sewing I am being challenged by trying new things. I also find it relaxing. Even ripping stitches to make my piece better is not that stressful.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric and creativity!

ReplyDeleteQuilting has opened up a whole new world for me & I have made some wonderful new friends!

I get pleasure in making a charity quilt that I know will warm the heart of someone less fortunate than myself. Thanks for this chance to win as I love your shop and all that you share with us!

ReplyDeleteI love the "therapy" of quilting....the creating....the friendshipping....the dreaming up & shopping for......and the happiness I feel when creating something beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe thing I love best about quilting is no matter who you are--creative & artsy vs left-brained & analytical, you can still make beautiful quilts!! I haven't got a creative bone in my body but quilting is still something that I can do!!
ReplyDeleteI love finding that one piece of fabric that speaks to you then the creativity begins & next thing you know a quilt is born!!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is my creative outlet. It allows to me to be me and express my feelings and concerns my way.
ReplyDeleteI love making quilted items for my grandchildren to enjoy long after I am gone.
ReplyDeleteI love the peace that I get from handling fabric, watching the quilt grow as I add pieces to it, and from seeing each stitch complete some applique.
ReplyDeleteI love being able to see the process from just fabric to a finished quilt! !
ReplyDeleteI love the many personal purposes and expressions that quilting allows me to express
ReplyDeleteI came to quilting eight years ago when I retired, but I had been dreaming about being a quilter since I visited my husband's aunt's home in Americus, Georgia twenty five years ago. I could not believe I got to sleep with a quilt on the bed and several hanging from the quilt stand and armoire. So I started taking quilting classes at a local quilt shop and made several great friends along the way. Quilting has given me the joy and confidence to express my love for others in a tangible way.
ReplyDeleteI love that something that gives me so much creative pleasure also serves a purpose. An extension of my arms wrapped around my loved ones. Colleen Coffman
ReplyDeleteI love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I finish a project. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

I love the whole process - from the inspiration from a pattern, the fabric selection, the challenges of piecing it all together!
ReplyDeleteAs a mom to two young kids I love that quilting gives me something that is a creative outlet for ME. Through quilting I have built a community that isn't based around my children, and I have used quilting to express pain, grief, love and joy.
ReplyDeleteI love the creativity and all the colors..love the colors mixed together in whatever you can dream up.
ReplyDeleteShawn
Love everything about making quilts. Especially when I finish and can stand back and see what I created........and then be able to start again.
ReplyDeleteI love your site and fabrics offered. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteQuilting helps keep my sanity in this crazy world!
ReplyDeleteI love making items to give as gifts - I put a little piece of my heart in every quilt I make!
ReplyDeleteQuilting is my therapy....I love it. But I also love giving them away, it makes me feel so happy.
ReplyDeleteI love that quilting is not only a creative outlet, but it also brings people together in so many ways. Those that we quilt with, gift a quilt to and meet along our quilting journey. This year my mother gave me Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage Book for my birthday and I also started Pat Sloan's Splendid Sampler QAL and I have not done anything in years, but these two things have really sparked me and gotten me on track. I had no stash to pull from, so I am building that and enjoying the time spent quilting with my mother and others at or LQS BOM class for Farm Girl Vintage. This is definitely a quilty year for me!
ReplyDeleteCathy J <3
I LOVE quilting!!! I love how the creative part of me is filled in our LQS, at my sewing machine, and appreciating the colors of my stash that I need to keep using. :)

ReplyDeleteI love that quilting has provided a creative outlet and helped me overcome my need for perfection. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteI mostly make quilts that I give away to special people in my life. It's like I'm giving them a small part of myself. Quilting is my way of making the world a more beautiful, and warmer, place. I give the gift of a hug on demand -- they just have to wrap themselves in the quilt to receive it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe there was ever a time when I did not quilt! I have sewn my entire life and enjoyed it but never to the extent that I love quilting. It fills my days, my nights, and my dreams. Fat Quarter Shop has been part of that for many many years. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI just love the creative process and I'm really inspired by color. Thank you and happy quilting day to everyone.
ReplyDeleteQuilting is everything to me right now as I just retired. The day isn't right unless I get to do some quilting. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love making something beautiful with lots of love. And the bonus is that it helps keep you warm!

ReplyDeleteI love putting little pieces of fabric together to end up with a large, coherent piece.
ReplyDeleteIt's the fabrics that thrill me! All the colors and designs.
ReplyDeleteLove the 'me' time that it gives me, the fellowship that I share with others who quilt too, and the ability to give to others thru quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the fabrics and the friends I have made who share my love of quilting
ReplyDeleteI love the creative process that quilting has. Colors, Fabrics! It's like adult toys....
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness, what don't I love about quilting! I love reading about it, thinking about it, and looking at quilt photos. I love planning for making quilts, shopping for fabrics, trying new techniques, and dreaming about quilting. I love cutting fabrics, piecing, sewing applique, and sharing the finished product. Quilting brings joy and happiness to my life (and, I hope it brings happiness and comfort to the lives of the recipients).
