I'm ready to go.
I'm standing here outside my door
with my magazines, water, dramamine, chapstick, lotion, cell phone, antibiotics
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.........."


We wouldn't want you to go on a trip without something fun to read.
So,this week's giveaway is the Quilts & More Spring 2009 magazine from American Patchwork and Quilting.

Let's take a look inside:


Optical Illusion -Fusible appliqué makes this crib quilt easier than it first appears.


Bring on the brights with this easier-than-it-looks queen-bed-size quilt made of half-square triangles.

Ohhhh, let's all have a baby, shall we?


Alternating bold prints and tone-on-tones creates a simple, graphic quilt.



As the title says...........Quilts and MORE...
1-2-3-go! One pattern…three purses. Ready, set, sew!
Stuffed mushroom Stitch a petite, wool needle case to keep your notions handy.
Sweet slice Whip up a batch of adorable piece-of-cake pincushions.
Around the block Super size a classic Log Cabin block to create three easy-to-sew quilts.
Stepping Out - There’s plenty of space to store your stuff in this roomy tote bag.

Leave a comment telling us:
If you could fly anywhere right now.....where would you fly?
Random Drawing later tonight.
We'll be so sad if we have to draw again
because we don't have an email address for you. :(

  2. Thanks again for the very fun giveaway, and for making me take a minute to think about vacation! If I could fly anywhere right now, I think I would be hopping on a plane to Kawaii. It is where my husband and I went on our honeymoon, and I have wanted to go back since. Or maybe to Cancun? Definitely somewhere with a beach!

  4. I'd fly off to the Cook Islands in a heartbeat! My sister & I had a girls' weekend jaunt there 3 years ago, along with 2 of our daughters & my best friend. Needless to say, a weekend was just tooooo short & IT IS BEAUTIFUL THERE! The native islanders are very friendly & it's just the perfect laid back atmosphere to just relax!
    Thanks for entering me in your giveaway!

  11. If I could fly anywhere I would fly to Minnesota and visit my best friend who married her childhood sweetheart and moved there last May. I sure do miss her and would love to see her! I also love this magazine! Someone else had shown it on their blog and I so want a copy of it! I live in a small town and it takes a while for us to get the current issues of magazines and sometimes we don't get all the different magazines they get in bigger towns.
    Have a Blessed Day,
    Diane

  36. Tahiti (snorkeling), Switzerland (Alps, chocolate and cheese), London (I've got to see the Queen!) and Scotland (I know I could find Nessie!) are on my list so I'd love to check one of them off. New York is also on my list (Macy's day parade and Christmas shopping) and so is New England in the fall and Minneapolis (Mall of America). AND, my sweetie wants to take me to Hong Kong ("it's the N.Y. of Asia," yunno). Right now though, I think I'll HOP on into the kitchen and load the dishwasher.

Where would I fly??? Hmmmm maybe Cancun.

  57. Love the magazines. I want to get the one to see Monica's pattern, too. Where would I be??? I'd be shopping at the Farmer's Market (fridays and saturdays only) in my home town in Pennsylvania, talking to a little amish girl and buying a hand made soft pretzel. Sigh. Sometimes when I have to go to costco on sat or friday I dream of going to the farmer's market where real farmers sell real foods made/grown on their farms. They even make their own meat/sausage and stuff. It is heaven walking through the market. Oh well. Now you made me hungry.
