In the Soutz of Germany the school holidays just have started ... so we´re leaving tomorrow for our holidays :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome text prints in there :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in Africa, we have the end of Winter looming - Yay! I 'ate winter! (say that with an English accent). I'm waiting so impatiently for Summer.
ReplyDeleteI have a quilt to bind, I have decided to self bind as I have quite a bit of fabric left over all around the quilt. That will be done this weekend.
I adore this fabric, it really does it for me!!
I am in the mad rush to get ready for another semester of classes. Sadly, not much time for sewing right now.
ReplyDeleteA good friend of mine has her weeding in september and I still need to finish the quilt for her.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had my holiday yet! Going to see my family in two weeks. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity... I do love those text-y prints! We are going to try to suck up every last bit of sunshine these last few weeks- at the pool, the beach, the zoo, and in the backyard. We'll pretend that idea doesn't delight the Mosquitos!
ReplyDeleteI've still five weeks of holidays ahead of me, so there's prep work, cleaning, swimming and sewing on the schedule besides a holiday trip to Paris. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteIt is winter here but it is starting to warm up so I am enjoying the sun and the warmth and snuggling under quilts after the sun goes down. Love this time of year!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished piecing a King sized Granny square quilt. Now I need to quilt it.
ReplyDeleteGreat prints in this line!
ReplyDeleteI've been ill so I'm spending time recovering!
Beach trip coming up here. Can't wait. These look pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's winter here, so I am actually looking forward to the start of Spring and warm weather!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI just have a few patterns to try, so I tested them one by one...
Thank you for the chance,
Edit from Hungary
The rest of my summer is wide open. I'll get outside for some exercise and keep sewing away on all the projects I want to make.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the Sewvivor contestants so hopefully I will be sewing along with that until the end- then I go and get married!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get some donation quilts finished before the end of August. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWe will conclude the summer with a hiking trip to Maine.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to start my holidays :)
ReplyDeleteEnd of summer involves packing everything up and moving to a tiny apartment with 2 kids and 2 dogs for three months till we wait to move back overseas. Hope to be all moved before the kids do there last 3 months of school in the US which does not start here in Michigan till the 2nd of September. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteStill lots of summer time left here, so I'm trying to keep my little one amused. Not easy when it's too hot for me to be outside for long!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! Company has come and gone and come and gone and the rest of the summer is for sitting and reading and sewing for Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteWe are in the final week and a half before school starts. Lots of shopping for clothes and supplies along with open houses and meet the teachers. Very busy time. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletehate to think it is the end of summer....LOL. I am very busy with the veggie garden right now...pickling and freezing
ReplyDeleteIt's now time to start sewing for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteI have adult children - so no 'back to school' adventures, but I loved those days and still love that 'new beginning' feeling. One of our children is a teacher and loves it - so we get to hear all the 'happenings' of her day.
ReplyDeleteI am busy trying to 'catch-up' on baby quilts and a few wall hangings this summer.
Love the prints in this line. I'm looking to book a holiday somewhere near a beach in Wales for the end of this summer.
ReplyDeleteI am finishing up blog hop quilts and looking forward to a few days of rest with the family soon. Love the prints.
ReplyDeleteI just adore the text. We are making book sacks and pencil cases for the grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteSince I just won the Modern Neutrals, I will disqualify myself. But I am going to start a quilt using some of my winnings today.
ReplyDeleteI'm up to no good LOL!!! I LOVE this line -- classic Sweetwater!!!
ReplyDeleteI used to be a math teacher - would love this! At the end of this summer I'm trying to recover from traveling, weeding the flower beds that look like I haven't weeded them in years, and finishing the machine quilting on a top I made last year. Hey, one year and I'm finishing...I'm almost a speed demon. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteWe have one last big trip planned. Hopefully the weather will hold out. Love the fabric! I have fallen in love with words on fabric :-)
ReplyDeleteI am working lots of time at the county fair. I love hanging the quilts and talking about them when visitors come through. Many of the charity groups are sewing during the fair so it is fun to sit and sew with them too.
ReplyDeleteTrying to get ready for a new school year!
ReplyDeleteThere are 5 weddings in the next 3 wks in which I am the Food Grand Pooh-Bah or the Decorations Grand Pooh-Bah so it is crunch time for celebrating!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love every single collection of Sweetwater.
We are building a robot! Just a simple one as my daughters are 5 and 3 but they love building things. We are getting motors and parts together to create a line following robotic vehicle. Should be fun!
ReplyDeleteI am busy keeping my boys entertained while they are on school holidays!
ReplyDeleteOh, don't say the end of summer already! It's gone too fast. I'm ready to bind a bed size HST quilt in Patisserie by Fig Tree that I started a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteFeels good!
I have nothing big planned for the end of summer. We are heading to Hershey, PA at the end of September though. I am looking forward to fall so I can get back into my quilting!!!
ReplyDeleteGetting my two college kids ready for their new adventures and trying to prepare for being empty-nesters.
ReplyDeleteFun! I love the colors. We are trying to get in the last of the fun before school starts in less than two weeks. The zoo, roller skating, and a hike.
ReplyDeleteI plan on going a few times in the bush to pick some blueberries and raspberries!!!
ReplyDeleteHere in AZ where my daughter is a teacher school started on Aug 6th. So I'm spending time in the pool and playing with my 4yr old grandson but not getting any sewing done. I love this fabric and would like to make a tote bag or something else for my daughter to use for school.
ReplyDeleteThank you

I'm thinking we need to hit the splash pad a few more times before it closes. School doesn't affect us much, since my kids are only two. But they will enjoy gatting some of their little friends backhoe that their older siblings will be going to school. :)
ReplyDeleteMy end of the summer is filled with Grandkids, Christenings, and visits with family. Looking forward to all of it!
ReplyDeleteWe are being blessed with beautiful weather this week, so hoping it stays for the rest of the month so I can get out and do some more paddling. Love being out on the bay with the fresh salt air.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
We're just hanging out, enjoying the last few weeks of play and lounging. :) Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteHi!!!! We are just having fun!!!! Not rushing around... Still a few more lightening bugs to catch!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a low volume cross quilt and a few sew together bags.
ReplyDeleteNo school here for a few more weeks, but my kids are grown, so it's just a bit nostalgic, remembering buying all the new supplies and clothes for the school year.
ReplyDeleteI'm done with all that, glad to say! I am getting caught up on my BOMs that I fell behind with in July
ReplyDeleteHere in Louisiana, schools started this week. So last week our whole family of 18 rented a 5 bedroom house on the beach in Florida. We had our summers last-blast before school started!
ReplyDeleteWe are doing last minute purchases and packing for my son who will be a college freshman at Rolla. We will be taking him down there on the 16th. Where did the last 18 years go????
ReplyDeleteThe kids started Monday here in Arizona. I am waiting for the temperatures to cool down so I can get out to the garden for fall gardening. thanks, kathy
ReplyDeleteWe have three weeks until school starts. But before we can think about school we have our County Fair to participate in. We will be exhibiting everything from pigs to rabbits and Guinea Pigs, sewing projects, baking, crafts even quilting......of course quilting!
ReplyDeleteAt this side of summer I am just surviving he heat...
ReplyDeleteTrying to catch up on all the sewing I didn't do throughout the Summer Holidays!!
ReplyDeleteTomatoes just starting to come in; lots of canning in my future.
ReplyDeleteI'm madly trying to finish a baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love this line - maybe because I'm a teacher!
I will be quilting and binding pieced tops! Also leading a small group of women in group making small Christmas gifts, mostly paper pieced ornaments and mug rugs. Such fun! Thanks for the he chance to win this fabric! The line is on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the midst of 3 scrappy quilts and trying to get the siding finished on the house!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous line of fabrics, the colours are subtle and lovely for fall.
Thank you for the chance.
Usually I "miss" summer and this year I've made it a point to actually be outside more and enjoy the season. I'll continue my walks with my hubby and drinking my morning coffee on the patio... but as the weather becomes cooler I'll also be spending more time in my southwest-facing sewing room!
ReplyDeleteI'm heading north to Wisconsin from Houston to escape the heat.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm working on finishing up the girls school shopping and working on my long craft to do list! But every time I cross something off, I add 3 more things to it! LOL
ReplyDeleteWe are just waiting to close on a house and move in!
ReplyDeleteSoftball games, weddings, seeing our youngest move to Colombia, S America! Wow! And some sewing inbetween :)
ReplyDeleteI am busy working on doing the things I didn't get finished during the first part of the summer.
ReplyDeleteThe grandkids have been sick, so we have been inside doing puzzles and quiet crafts. I hope we still have some summer left to spend outside when they get better!
ReplyDeleteHi,hope to make one more trip into the mountains, one more picnic with friends,one more lake trip . . . . . .
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

Where I live (Vancouver Island), there are 3 1/2 weeks before school starts, and the teachers are on strike, so who knows when school will really start. I'm hoping to finish a small quilt that I've been working on since the beginning of the month.
ReplyDeletelove the line. I'm doing the same stuff I did at the beginning of summer...working and sewing whenever possible.
ReplyDeleteHeading to the county fair! Thanks!

ReplyDeletespending time with our family...
ReplyDeleteStill have a week of camping ahead of us :)

ReplyDeleteHoping to take a trip to the beach!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting ready for school! The first day of high school is Tuesday. Good grief! Where did the time go?

Melbourne, Australia is in the middle of winter, it's cold and wet! I'm finishing a wall hanging for a new grandson, he's 1 week old! Love the Elementary range of fabric, lots of fun projects come to mind.
ReplyDeleteI recently moved out of state and am hosting a quilt retreat for the quilting buddies I left behind in early September. Lots of fun planning going on here! Thanks for the opportunity to win this charm pack - it would make a great door prize at the retreat!
ReplyDeletePretty sure I need some of this! My daughter is a teacher, a good friend is a teacher and my other good friend works at a school! Can you say MUG RUGS for their desks?? My end of summer - trip to the San Juan Island next week with dear friends, a weekend with entire group of special friends and a baptism for one of their children, planning our 30th anniversary trip, maybe some boating (if our kids ever give our boat back), and of course - SEWING!
ReplyDeleteGetting ready to ramp up my bicycling now that the oppressive heat and humidity should be waning. I'm still not quite used to having a calm summer's end. This is my third year post home school and it still feels like I should be prepping!
ReplyDeleteFrantically prepping my daughter for kindergarten. (that's mentally by the way - she's an anxious girl!)
ReplyDeletelove that fabric, i am tyring to figure out how to add lightning bolts to a quilt

Finishing up last class for summer semester and hoping to take a mini vacation between now and start of fall semester in two weeks. I'd also love to get some quilting time in. I miss my machine.
ReplyDeleteWe have year round school so my youngest is already back and it feels like summers over. I plan to enjoy the last of our wonderful garden before it all dries up :)
ReplyDeleteWe get to go to Montana soon and I'm so super excited! This fabric is amazing, my best friend is a high school teacher and I would love to make her something out of this, thanks for the opportunity!

We are working in our garden and learning to fish. Fun!
ReplyDeleteWorking and sewing!
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting on cooler weather, the heat index in south Alabama is over a 100 today... HOT
ReplyDeleteWhat fun fabrics you showed us in the Elementery collection. Love the neutrals and the green one. We just returned from a 2-day bike trip; weather was great in southern Minnesota - not so good here at home in eastern Iowa. Lucky us! I've been working on a caddy for my friend who uses a walker which she's nicknamed her "Mercedes Benz"! She's a doll and so spry for 90!
ReplyDeletePlanning on going to see the fireworks on the 15th of August! It's a national holiday here in Italy.
ReplyDeleteHi, Corrie LOVE your blog here in Perth Western Australia but not sure where we are re school terms (mine are both grown and flown the coop)
ReplyDeleteLove the elementary fabrics too.
Thanks for the preview.

No real plans. I'm retired so school schedule doesn't matter. Here in Mexico, at least in our town, school starts next Monday, they only have one month off for summer break. I plan to just keep on quilting and maybe make some new pants.
ReplyDeleteI watched 3 of my grands today. They start school next week, their mom (a teacher) started yesterday.
ReplyDeleteSchool started today. I plan on quilting as much as possible. Thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteI am a recently retired teacher so the end of summer doesn't mean as much to me as it used to. No getting ready for school, more time to sew!!!
ReplyDeletekdavis1@centurytel.net
Good friends are pressing through town, stopping for a night the day before school starts... It will mean 9 kids and lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteGoing to Branson with my grand daughter and great grand children before school starts next week. Looking forward to fall and not having to take care of the lawn and garden.
ReplyDeleteNot doing any sewing, unfortunately. I'm recovering from hand surgery which is designed to take care of my arthritis which has made quilting very difficult. Hopefully, by the end of Sept, I'll be back at it!!
ReplyDeleteWe are just headed home from our beach vacation. It gets cooler the further north we travel. I've never seen these prints before. I need to look into them for a "new teacher" gift for when my daughter graduates from college. (Four years should be long enough, right? Lol) She starts her college level courses this fall towards her dual major! So proud of her!
ReplyDeleteI've been sewing some, as I have two grandbabies coming this fall. Our fair was just over yesterday. I love the Elementary fabric by Sweetwater.
ReplyDeleteJust doing some sewing and trying to stay out of summer heat.
ReplyDeleteNot much. Just working on my room (garage conversion) and attempting to stay cool (hit 102 degrees Fahrenheit today). Thank you for a chance to win!
ReplyDeletePlanning a fence installation before the ground gets too cold
ReplyDeleteWe're just enjoying the sun. No kids in school yet, but my mom teaches, so we've been trying to spend as much time with Gram as we can before she starts back. This is the cutest fabric for a teacher, BTW!
ReplyDeleteI love this fabric! I'm a teacher so I'm spending these last couple weeks getting ready for school. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGoing on vacation with my Dad and sister for their two milestone birthdays, 90 and 50.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win--I love Sweetwater and this line, well--it is wonderful!!
Summer is for scrap quilts, here. What is the point of saving all the scraps if I don't actually use them, right? Have 2 queen sized quilt tops nearly finished from the scraps, need to decide on borders. One will have pieced scrappy borders, I think, the other solid fabrics. There's at least one more queen sized quilt top coming out of those boxes yet this summer, and maybe even two. Love the fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteToday is my last day of summer work. I have 3 weeks off before I go back as well. I need to squeeze in some Christmas gifts and a quilt for mom in the next 3 weeks!
ReplyDeletePaint my outside house sidewall in Blue (Greece color) to have nice color to remind me summer during winter :-) Thanks for the giveawy

ReplyDeleteText prints are my favorite! I'm have a guest visiting for another week, then it's time to catch up on some blog hops and swaps.....time is ticking! Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI get to go on a trip to see my granddaughter at the end of summer! I can't wait! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSummer goes way too fast around here. My list of summer chores is long. I need 3 more months of summer.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, the end of summer is busier than the bulk of summer for me. There is the State Fair, a trip to visit family and a vacation to the Black Hills. As a Math major, I LOVE the Elementary line. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI don't have any kids to get ready for school, so the end of summer will be sitting in the sun and reading a good book. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThe end of the summer will be for hiking mountains and hopefully a little sewing. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteOn two weeks vacation at the cottage, we are having terrific weather. Hate to say it, but I am hoping for a rainy day so I can justify staying in doors to sew. Beautiful fabric, just love the colour combo.
ReplyDeleteHoping to get in a few more weekends of camping and some fishing.
ReplyDeleteGoing to get to meet a new granddaughter soon. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
ReplyDeleteGoing to the beach in Alabama the end of this month with my husband, daughter, and her boyfriend. I can hardly wait. Thanks so much for a great giveaway. I always like what Sweetwater comes up with every year.
ReplyDeleteI am ending the summer with a quilt retreat. Yea me. Paulacox7198@yahoo.cpm
ReplyDelete"summer" about done here. getting projects finished at home and meeting my cuz in LV for a long weekend
ReplyDeleteI have decided to reorganize my scraps and stash, again. It seems so overwhelming, I have given myself the deadline of September 1st. Each morning, I get up and say, "Maybe tomorrow." Now that I'm retired, it's harder to stay on task. I have lots of time, but seem to fritter it away.
ReplyDeleteWe are visiting family in Minnesota. Thanks for the giveaway! sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteRunning my kids to fall practices all day and evening. Running myself ragged! Finishing a baby quilt.
