ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of parades. My husband, however, LOVES parades. Even on tv. I just don't get it. Maybe I'm not "kid-at-heart" enough?
Oh my - would I LOVE to win? YES PLEASE......... Parades don't "speak" to me - not sure that I get "the idea".
ReplyDeleteWe live in New Orleans & our whole family loves Mardi Gras parades! First of all: the news NEVER shows real Mardi Gras... they show the crazed drunken college kids the locals all avoid. The real parades are very family friendly. And, it's not just fun to watch -- they throw you beads, stuffed animals, cups, and random other junk. Sure, it's junk that we all eventually give to Goodwill, but it makes the parade more fun! :) Thanks for the chance to enter!
ReplyDeleteI love roses! Come over to my blog for some Hexie Caddy Pincushion Parade!

Such cute fabric and my best parade was the first one we attended here in Victoria about 4 years ago. It was just cool to see all the bands and their costumes. Back on the Prairies you don't see that type of content.
ReplyDeleteSome very pretty prints in the Rose Parade collection! I'm not such a big fan of parades at this point as they can be difficult to enjoy with having many young children in our family.
ReplyDeleteone of my favourite memories of childhood is watching the "trooping of the colour" (ie The Queen of England) with my Grandma. The english really know how to do a great formal parade.
ReplyDeleteI have actually been to the Rose Parade in Pasadena.......beautiful displays of floral floats. I believe everyone loves a parade. This is a giveaway that inspires, I hope I can win these particular fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love the ANZAC parades honouring the Diggers for WWI and all people who have given their lives and defended our country.
ReplyDeleteJust read the comment by Charlotte about the English do a great formal parade, yes I think we do! the one on Armistice Day is always worth watching, and the Lord Mayors parade in London is good too. We have religious parades here (in France) for different events the children all get involved and dress up - sometimes they are at night and everyone has a candle - really enjoy watching them.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you Charlotte!!! Yes we do know how to do a great parade!
Parades dont fancy me usually...Love to win it....
ReplyDeleteLove how you've used the dishes in the photo's. Great shots! Please don't rain on my parade.
ReplyDeleteHere in Spain, parades are not that usual, the closest might be the 3 Holy Kings parade the 6th of January. The fabric is beautiful, the roses on the terrasse will soon bloom as well.
ReplyDeleteDH and I have marched in so many parades (marching band)that we are not so interested in going to view parades now. Our podunk town has a 4th of July parade and we have never taken our kids to it. Dh, before he was my dh, and I slept in the gutter in Pasadena to watch the Tournament of Roses parade one year. We thought the view was better on tv.
ReplyDeleteThis Rose Parade fabric is GORGEOUS! Reminds me of Cathy Kidston.
I like the Rose Parade but not other Parades ;D
ReplyDeleteNYC's Thanksgiving Day Parade - with Santa at the END.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a great Labour Day parade when I was little. I remember a spectacular float covered in daisies and pretty girls!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have fancy dress parades at school when I was little. :)
ReplyDeleteI love parades, here in the Midwest they threw candy out to the children. Thanksgiving is my favorite. Luv Luv to win this beautiful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, we went to our town's Memorial Day parade every year. I especially loved seeing the (only a couple) WWI vets and WWII vets walking proudly and being cheered on.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to or seen a parade in years. We used to take part as children, I think it was for Remembrance Sunday as we marched past the war memorial and saluted it...
ReplyDeleteI hope one day I can see one of the Saint Patrick Day's Parades they have in Boston. One of many dreams :-)

I love parades and I love roses! Parades of roses in candy colors? what could be better?:>)

We used to go to the Rose Parade when we were teenagers. My dad would drop us off early in the morning, and then pick us up afterward. It was so much fun! The Rose Parade fabric is beautiful!
ReplyDeletedfamily864@att.net
I loved the Memorial Day parades. When I was young I remember the thrill of marching in them as a Girl Scout. We'd go right through the "down town" and end at the local graveyard. The high school band would be playing, the mayor and local officials would be in the latest convertibles, and construction vehicles would round out the procession. Lots of smiles!
ReplyDeleteAquesta roba és fantàstica i m'encanta, es molt bonica. M'agraderia molt fer-ne un petit edredó per la meva filla, Neus.
ReplyDeleteGràcies!
Glòria
My dad is a clown in the Shrine and rides a child sized 4-wheeler in community parades. I do believe he has more fun than the children he is entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI was in a parade once as a dancer. We had to stop and do a bit of the Charleston every few feet. I was young then- but at the end of the route all I wanted was a hot shower and a bed. (But we had to dance in the centennial pageant again that night.)
ReplyDeleteParades bring back fond memories of band parades and 4-H parades that was always a highlight of summer. Love the the colors in Rose Parade. It will make into a great colorful quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love roses! What a pretty line. I haven't been to a parade since I was a kid...I used to love them.
ReplyDeleteThis would make a beautiful quilt for my Grandma. My kids love parades with candy. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautfiul, happy colors! I've been to many types of parades. Local 4th of July parades when the weather is hot! Children's parades in downtowns of big cities in the freezing cold. Spring parades are the best weather-wise.
ReplyDeleteMy 2nd child was born in Louisiana and the family parades that are there during Carnival season are a lot of fun. My son, who is now 17, still remembers special items he caught at those parades. And he was 4 then!
I love this color combination. My first thought of parades was the 4th of July parade in my hometown but my second thought was the first time I was in NYC for the St. Patrick's day parade. It was crazy! I saw a woman walk up to a policeman and kiss him right on the smacker. They both laughed and she drifted off into the crowd.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm in a trance. What gorgeous colors and flowers! It has such an old-fashioned look. Ok... Parade. Working in elementary schools for years we had a Book Character parade during Children's Book Week. It was fun to see the creativity of the students, teachers and parents. My favorite was a group of fifth grade teachers who all wore Troll masks. There sign said not a book, but a Book Club (Troll Book Club was big with classroom teachers) Thanks for the memory!
ReplyDeleteEvery year members of the local churches parade through my home town on Jubilee Day, originally to celebrate Abstinence. The little girls look so pretty in their best dresses :) I'm sure you've guessed that now the day is also the biggest 'booze up' of the year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rosy fabric - thanks for the giveaway :)
I just marked this fabric as a "favorite" in your Etsy shop! Love a chance to win some!
ReplyDeleteWe have our annual Christmas parade (small town, Illinois) and I'm always so proud when I see my oldest son march by with the Boy Scouts! :o)
Thansk for the chance to enter the give-away!
I love parades! Expeically listening to all the bands. My kids loved walking in them for scouts and football and working on the floats.
ReplyDeletethanks for the lovely giveaway.
I hope we have a Circus Parade this year during the Circus Festival. That would be pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteMy children always are part of the Pittsfield Old Home Day parade. It takes place every July...usually a very hot day.
ReplyDeleteI have been in 5 parades in my lifetime :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school, I was in a dance line that marched in front of the band. We marched in about ten parades every summer and it was the BEST part of my high school days!
ReplyDeleteI haven't missed watching the Rose Parade every New Year's morning in over 45 years!
ReplyDeleteI love red and aqua....I have been collecting those colors for a while and soon...well...I say soon I am going to make a quilt....soon. Thanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI miss the lilac parade that they have every year in spokane Wa. we moved to Tx and no Lilac growing in front of my front door. I miss the smell. the colors of the charm pack are awesome.
ReplyDeleteHi Corrie and Des!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your blog but became a Follower instantly! You have a great blog!
I love this Rose Parade. Last week, I think Stash Manicure, asked if you could design fabric what would it look like? I described Rose Parade! I love this line, hope I win! Off to the Etsy Store!
Thanks for the giveway,
Take care, Leslie
When I was a child my parents always took us to the Santa Claus parade - and it was very authentic in Decembers when you live in northern Canada. thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite parades are the small hometown 4th of July parades. They are always so fun to watch and you get such a sense of American pride from them.
ReplyDeleteHi! A parade. We have participated in quit a few when the kids were young. They are all grown and now they are doing parades with thier own kids. My fondest memories are of the halloween parades our PTA ran every year until the kids were in out of 6th grade. I made my own costumes so we always had tons of fun and most always won a time or two. I love that fabric and would love for you to pick me, since I need more fabric!!
ReplyDeletethanks for this chance to win.
cathy
Love both parades and roses but fabric is what I absolutely adore! LOL
ReplyDeleteAs for parades, even though I am now in the mid fifties, a little girl within me comes out for parades. I'll even "dance to the music" while holding the grandchildren to share my love of them.
Jane
My town has a great Laurel Festival parade in June! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWhile leaving the last post about parades, I noticed you have 996 followers, can you tell people love your stuff? Thanks for sharing and congratulations!
ReplyDeleteJane
Lovely fabric....I enjoy participating in our Memorial Day Parade with the Girl Scouts, and I never miss the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade....even if it makes me late for dinner!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabric! I always watch the Rose Parade on New Year's Day while I undecorate my Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteI love parades! I love the excitement in the air. I was in a parade once in high school. I fell off! I prefer to watch them (especially with kids).
ReplyDeleteI love parades-so much fun, especially watching all the young kids enjoy the parade. I remember going to my grandmas apartment-her view overlooked the local parade.
ReplyDeleteI liked parades when I was younger, but now it seems that I end up in the hot sun and just sweat! I do enjoy seeing the young children enjoy the parades though. It is precious to see their little eyes light up!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty roses! What a lovely idea to put them all in one big bundle. I remember seeing my son years ago as a boy scout in a 4th of July parade. Such a proud and exciting moment!
ReplyDeleteI love this fabric, I also love parades...especially marching bands and sirens.thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is on a state holiday in Utah, Pioneer Day (July 24th). There are lots of local parades, and a big one in SLC -- so I like to think that they are celebrating my birthday!
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are wonderful! One of my favorite family traditions is watching the Rose Parade on New Year's Day...when all the kids were still home, we'd sit and watch the rerun that night, too!
ReplyDeleteJacque in SC

Nothing better than the 4th of July parade and fire works in celebration of Independence Day! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI remember the Christmas parade in the town where I went to college- so fun!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I LOVE a parade and wouldn't you know it, my husband HATES them!!! I think it goes back to when we were both in marching band in high school and marched in EVERY parade! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThe best parade for me is a local parade where I know some of the kids!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory of parades goes back to high school marching band. I played french horn and my closest friends were all in band. We marched in America's Bicentennial parade along with several other marching bands at Disneyland. Fun times!! Love the Rose Parade fabric...thanks for the giveaway chance.
ReplyDeleteSweet giveaway! We attend the HOF parade every year! The parade tends to be kinda boring...but it's fun "sleeping" on the parade route the night before!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love a parade??? I watch the real Rose Parade each year and have been to it several times.
ReplyDeleteEvery year our town has a "Spook Parade" in October for all the kids in town to dress up in their Halloween costumes and walk the (now) 3 blocks. Candy is handed out to all and winners are announced. Fun for all.
ReplyDeleteDoes the parade of ants we have coming in from the garden count? LOL! I love those bright florals! Thanks for counting me in.

ReplyDeleteParades are the one time I am happy to be tall (5'9") as I can see over everyone else...
ReplyDeleteEvery Thanksgiving, we have to watch the Macy's Christmas parade. it would not be Thanksgiving without it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I could write a sonnet
ReplyDeleteabout your Easter bonnet
and of the girl I'm taking
to the Easter Parade!
As a child, I used to spend Thanksgiving morning all cozy in my jammies, along with my 7 siblings, watching the Macy's parade on TV. Sad to say, I cannot allow my own children to do the same because it has turned into one big advertisement for broadway shows and prime time television that no child should be watching. The Rose parade on New Year's day is still a good one though! And of course all the little local parades for July 4th and such. We love those!
ReplyDeleteMGM
Wow, I love this fabric...When we were children my father would take us to see the New Year's parade in Philadelphia...it was so cold out but we did not sit outside to watch the parade...my father's friend had a little luncheonette which was closed on New Year's day...so guess where we sat and watched the parade? Yes, inside where it was nice and warm....such great memories....thanks for a great giveaway...
ReplyDeleteThe first parade I remember was when I was 4 years old and I was in it. I had won the local little girl's padgent and I rode in the parade. I was in the back of my papaw's (my grandpa) big red truck throwing candy to the kids that went to my preschool.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.After a very LONG COLD winter here in NE Mn I could use a good parade to cheer me up! Thanks for offering the little bundle for your give away! Such perfect colors for ME for springtime sewing! :))
ReplyDeletei love parades! the last one i went to was for my son's opening day of little league baseball. so cute ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that fabric - it would fit in perfectly in my turquoise/red hexagon quilt!! Here in Pinedale, Wyoming, every July we have a Rendezvous, where the whole week is focused on remembering times when mountain men gathered to trade in their furs for the goods they needed. We have a parade and many locals dress as indians and mountain men. Then they have a pageant where they tell the story of the original rendezvous'.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors and prints! The real rose parade is always fascinating because of their use of colors to achieve some really cool floats! However, I'm not a fan of parades. I think this goes back to my band days where we were required to play and march in a parade and it was just so darn boring and tedious and tiring! LOL. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThe last time I saw a parade was while living in Germany...can't even remember why the parade. I do remember them tossing candy at the spectators and the kids running all over gathering it up.
Ever tried the Rhythm Parade game on WiiFit Plus? You march to the beat and use the controllers to "throw" your batons into the air...if you keep perfect beat, you gain a whole marching band following you. It's pretty fun, but I'm totally not coordinated enough to march in perfect rhythm AND throw my batons when it tells me too!
ReplyDeleteThis such a yummy line of fabric! I prefer a parade on main street in a small town over the bigger big city parades - the whole town comes together. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love night time parades so you can have lights and fun!
ReplyDeletewe donate to the Odd Fellows Float at Rose Parade. I love roses. Can I win?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite parades are Disney parades!I always love how creative your giveaways are. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI used to love to march in the band in a parade. almost time for tulip time in holland , Mi. linda gerig
ReplyDeleteI rode on a float with my brother when we were in our early 20's. It was so fun! Thanks Corrie.
ReplyDeleteHere in Hot Springs, Arkansas we have the worlds shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade - one block long. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteWe love "home town" parades where the locals all get together. So much fun!
ReplyDeletei have actually been to the real rose parade! it was amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Rose Parade on New Year's Day!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved parades and have been lucky enough to live on parade routes for the last 15 years. They were fun as a kid and are even more fun now as a mom!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabric!! I love parades. We have a parade in our town every year with our summer festival. I love to see the fire trucks and the horses. The people in the parade are great about throwing candy at the kids. I can't wait for June so we can see the next one.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats the Disneyworld parades!
ReplyDeleteWe try to go to our annual Christmas parade every year. But the kids are so busy collecting all the candy that's thrown at them that they hardly watch the floats and cars go by.
ReplyDeleteLove the parades at Disney World! Hoping I can talk my hubby into making a trip there this summer! It's been way too long.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL FABRICS!
ReplyDeleteNO PARADE IS AS SPECIAL AS "THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE" TO ME! THANKS FOR SHARING!
jldouglas@wispwest.net
Beautiful fabric. Would love to win some.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite parade is the Macy Thanksgiving parade
You know, I don't think I've ever gone to see a parade! Shocker, I know! Love!
ReplyDeleteOne of my great childhood memories was doing a carnival for Muscular Dystrophy - they would send you the supplies and some information, and you would put together carnival games and raise money and then send it in. I lived in a very rural area, so the carnival was in a wide open field, and the attendees were siblings and neighbors. We would have a parade with my father on the tractor pulling a wagon, and some of us riding and some marching behind. Nearly everyone AT the carnival was IN the parade. Good memories!
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of parade!! Count me in!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love a parade....the colors in rose parade are wonderful....thanks for a chance to win
ReplyDeleteI love parades--especially this kind! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteParades are so much fun - I remember standing in one spot for six hours in New Orleans during Mardi Gras watching one parade after another! What fun! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love parades. I was in marching band at my highschool. I always loved our local parades as well as the festivals we were in. It's a unique experience to be in a large group all moving together as one, People waving and watching you. Enjoying the music and the routines. I wish I could do it all over again. I really like this fabric as well but then I am partial to roses. Thanks for the chance to win...
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! The most popular parades around here are the Mardi Gras parades. They are soooo much fun! Our little town has a small one that is just perfect for family fun!
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves a parade...be it on a street or a blog!
ReplyDeleteHere is a little story about a parade. When I was a tiny girl, about 3, we lived in a small town in California. The traveling circus came to town and had a parade. The little boy who lived next door wanted to go to the parade, so the two of us walked down to the main street where it was to see. I still vividly remember the elephants and how huge they were and how bad they smelled! I also vividly remember the spanking I got when my mom found me, because, of course, she'd been going out of her mind trying to find me! This event is the oldest memory I have.
ReplyDeleteRose Parade is much nicer than a spanking!
I love going to the 24th of July parade at my grandparent's house in their little town. It's so cute to watch and afterwards they have a carnival and food.
ReplyDeleteheidikittelson at gmail dot com
I would feel like throwing a parade party if I won!!! Thanks for the chance at this gorgeous line!
ReplyDeleteWow, what pretty fabrics. I'd throw and Easter parade, they sure wouln't rain on my parade!!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I wanted to tell you how beautiful the Christmas quilt is. Just stunning!
ReplyDeleteOne year we helped a friend run for a county council seat...we went to every parade in his county, passing out cards, candy, drinks...it was awesome! My kids learned about what it takes to get elected and we helped get a politician who is a one in a million man of integrity into office!
I hand't seen this line before, and I'm in love!
I love parades. Our small community has one every summer and it brings a sense of closeness. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWe always watch the Rose Bowl Parade, love how all the floats are made entirely of Roses the smell has to be awesome!!! This charm pack reminds me of this parade would love to win the all those roses.
ReplyDeletevondaboze@gmail.com
I remember the parade on July 4th, 1976 in my hometown. That was our country's bicentennial, and everyone dressed up in period costume. Dad was mayor and mom made herself and my sister and I costumes to wear as we went through the parade, sitting on some old car. Memories...
ReplyDeleteI love these prints and colours - remind me of an English summer. No parades as such but a village fete! I hope I win :o)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up, we had a town celebration every summer that lasted two days. There was a parade each day: all the neighborhoods made floats, marching bands from area high schools showed up to march, and the clowns came in a very loud and out of control car. I was terrified of the clowns. They were not the friendly funny kind of clowns. They were the scary and maybe a bit soused kind of clowns. I wanted the candy, but not so desperately that I would even look at them. And of course, I never did get even a piece of candy.
ReplyDeleteI remember our small annual hometown parades (Howdy Neighbor) all the way to the most elaborate nightly parades we saw at Disney World. Big or small, they always bring out a feeling of youthfulness. I love the Rose Parade fabric. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have always LOVED parades. It is even better now that I am a mother. There is nothing better than watching my kids while they are watching a parade.
ReplyDeletearinlayton at gmail dot com
why is it that it takes about 25 minutes to walk the parade route in the summer in our town but about 2.5 hours to watch it?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric line! This would be perfect for the several baby girl quilts I need to make over the summer! In our small hometown, we have a big 4th of July parade ... so much fun! I love seeing all the 4H, boys scouts & girl scouts troops, along with the school marching band & all the old tractors... not to mention the fire engines & horses! so much fun! :)
ReplyDeletephilly's known for the mummers. they are men (historically) that dress up in fantastically elaborate costumes on new year's day and play music, dance, strut, drunkenly walk, etc. it is a great time.
ReplyDeleteI love patriotic parades! They always bring tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteSome day I hope to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in person. For now, I'll just have to enjoy the local Christmas Parades and an occasional college or high school homecoming parade! lol
ReplyDeletekimrward@charter.net
Watching my daughters face as we watched our first parade of the day at Magic Kingdom in front of Cinderalla's castle was breathtaking!! She was in complete aaahhh of all that was going on in front of her...but didn't want ANY of the characters getting close to her!!
ReplyDeleteParades around here are almost as good as Halloween. The kids go armed with grocery bags and fill them with candy. That's all they care about.
ReplyDeleteI love the Tombstone Rose Parade every spring. Now we have a Tombstone Rosebush growing out front.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me to win the roses fabrics, they are lovely.
I have never been to a big parade. Always wanted to be a radio city music hall rockette in the macy's parade.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. I haven't been to a parade in 20 years. But I like to watch the Macys Thanksgiving Parade on tv. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWe went to a parade when it was raining. The kids all got a grocery sack FULL of candy. Most of it was soggy and sticky!
ReplyDeletesntbosch@msn.com
Our town has a parade every year to celebrate dumping tea in the river back during the early days of our country. I have fun memories of when my mom made my best friend and I matching colonial dresses and being in the parade together.
ReplyDeleteNever been to a big city parade, but my favorite local parade is our Acadian Festival Parade...lots of candy for the kids; lots of bands and music. My favorite year, they had bagpipes and someone making 'ployes' (buckwheat pancakes) and handing those out along with soda...so fun!
ReplyDeleteWow... This fabric is so deliciously shabby chic! Just gorgeous! Crossing my fingers that I'm the lucky one!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite parade was is the Jr. Orange Bowl Parade in Miami, great weather and amazing floats.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, it's nice to have a contest that doesn't have all of those 94-gazillion ways to enter. Sheesh!! Now, as for a comment about a parade... I'm going to be telling my age with this one, but whenever I hear about a parade, it reminds me of that movie with Robert Preston "The Music Man". Ahhh...they just don't make movies the way they used to, do they? Lovely fabrics, Corrie. They'll be a beautiful addition to anyone's stash.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get alot of parades here, you're lucky you have them!!!
ReplyDeleteBest parade of all - Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade!! Heck yeah! Jenn
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to attend the Rose Parade in Pasadena, CA, when I was a young child. We slept in the trunk of our car so we would wake up early and get a good place to watch the parade. We also watched how the decorated the floats.....What a wonderful memory. Thanks
ReplyDeleteOur tradition is to watch the Rose, Orange Bowl, and Macy's Thanksgiving Parades on TV. Locally, it is the Bell Christmas Parade. Anyone can be in it - ride a vintage tractor or sit in a rocking chair in the back of the pickup truck dressed as an old timey Mrs. Santa. The little kids will have eyes the size of saucers. Thanks for the giveaway because your Rose Parade is simply charming. alternate email mlwright29(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI got to wear a tutu and dance down Main Street Disney in one of their parades once. I was only 26 years old at the time. My older sister and I were actually on our way out of the park for an afternoon nap when we were stopped and asked to be in the parade. I know they only asked because my sister was with me. I have never attracted attention like she can. :) It was a fun day!
ReplyDeletemmm Parade...... Can only think of the Christmas Myer Parade here that we have in Melbourne.... I have never been. Should take the kids along one year.
ReplyDelete:)
I love a parade! The music, the floats, the excitement. I would love to go to the Rose Bowl parade someday. Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteMy husband isn't really a fan of parades, but in 2009 he was working in New Orleans and wanted to see a New Orleans Parade. He went to the Irish-Italian Parade. In true N.O. fashion they had floats and the riders threw things to the crowd. He caught some garlic, some potatoes, cabbage and a few bars of soap. He didn't really understand, but found it quite entertaining.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I love parades, especially THE Rose Parade (being from So. Cal), if I am remembering correctly, it's only rained on the Rose Parade 3 times ;)
ReplyDeleteChristmas parade in Chincoteague VA. was the most recent. Favorite was the old festival of lights parade at Disney was I was a wee pup.
ReplyDeleteThe only parades I regularly attended were fourth of July parades. I can't say I enjoy them much, but they certainly seem the thing to do and it is always nice to get together with friends and families to celebrate a big event.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite parades are at Walt Disney world. I just love all the characters.
ReplyDeleteI won your giveaway last week - don't know if I could win again but thought I'd enter - if nothing else to say thanks. Fabric arrived and it will be fun. I think i'll make something for my niece who is way into fairies right now.
When I was in my high school band, and marched in my first, and last, parade, I lost one drum stick while marching over a bridge, so had to play my drum the rest of the way with one stick .... can you say "Embarrassing???" Thank you for this chance for a beautiful fabric pack.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! The best parade I have ever went to was on Christmas Day at Disney World.
ReplyDeletetshaw6580@yahoo.com
The little town where we have a cabin has a great old fashioned 4th of July parade every year. It is wonderful! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love parades! The first parade that I was ever in was when I was 8 years old, wearing my Girl Scout Brownie uniform and so proud!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric colors!
I actually got to go to the Rose Parade when I was a little girl - Unfortunately, I was too young to truly appreciate the magnificence of those beautiful floats and was frankly pretty bored by the whole thing - lol! Youth is indeed wasted on the young!
ReplyDeleteI remember the 1976 parade in my hometown - all the women had sewn long, calico dresses and bonnets and there were red, white and blue banners all over the floats!
ReplyDeleteI love parades, although I have not been to one in many, many years. I always enjoyed the marching band. The best parade I ever saw was at Disneyland several years ago, so colorful and fun! And can I just say ... this fabric is to die for! Absolutely love it. Thanks for the chance to own some!
ReplyDeleteOur town has a big homecoming and celebration parade on the 24th of July.
ReplyDeleteMy dad's dream is to go to the Rose Parade in Pasadena. He will turn 75 in May....I wish I could take him there!
ReplyDeleteI marched with the Girl Scouts as a young girl & I love watching parades ... they make me smile!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite parade I've ever attended was the Cherry Blossom Festival parade in Wash DC years ago. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is so small that the parade only lasts about 3 blocks... I'm proud to say that I was drum major of my high school marching band for 4 years!
ReplyDeleteEmilyP
In our high school band, we marched in a parade in a town so small that the parade route was a dead end road. We had to double back on ourselves when we got to the end. Why this information is still in my memory bank? Have no idea, except maybe for this moment right here :)
ReplyDeleteThe roses in this layer cake remind me of the beautiful floats in the Rose Parade. What a gorgeous collection. I marched with the band in a parade at the state fair one year. Think we had to dodge the horse manure as they were ahead of us. It was a very hot day, too. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWe have a parade in our town over the 4th of July. It is a great time to come and visit Provo, Utah. There is a parade, hot air balloon rally, a huge fireworks extraganza and many other things to do during the week of the 4th of July.
ReplyDeleteI was in a Christmas parade as a young girl. Our Brownie troop jump-roped the entire way. I had energy back then. I miss it.
ReplyDeleteBTW, that fabric is so happy!
