Update: Congrats to #83 Leigh!
I was tempted to pick Deborah, she's from Glendora, CA
-- we lived there, best house & pool ever! But I let the random generator pick.
A friend from high school called today, unexpectedly. So nice to talk to her.
Reminded me of being a teenager in our windy hometown of Burley, ID. I've been in a good mood all day.
She's been hanging around here lately.
Chose a later arrival date so that we'd get it all at once.
She's available in fat quarters,
5", 8" and 10" inch charm square packs,
jelly rolls and
yardage.
My daughter whipped up a quick tote for school.
I was surprised how pretty
small pieces of it are in this tote and in the little jelly roll.
Gorgeous.
I'd like to redo my bedroom in all of it.
My husband doesn't mind florals or pink.
At least I don't think he does....
I'm not going to ask.
Today's giveaway will be 2 half yards of your choice.
Random drawing later tonight.

nicey janes - has been on my list for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI am like carmel, since I was born we have been moving to and fro the North America continent (including Canada) and Malaysia. We have been back in Malaysia since the mid-80's and most likely will not move again.
My hometown was near Buffalo, NY. I remember fun times of playing in the neighbors' backyards, snow in the winter, beautiful falling leaves of every color in fall, and hot summer nights spent on the patio. But my dad couldn't stand the snow, so after one winter of particularly nasty blizzards, he packed up the family and with no job or home waiting, he drove as far as he could get from NY, and we landed in California. 30 years later, I think we're here to stay.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bag your daughter made, those fabrics are just scrumptious.
Oh my gosh, your daughter did a beautiful job on that tote bag! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is home of the California Gold Rush. And now I live in the home of the Klondike Gold Rush. What can I say? I'm a fan of precious metals.
I'd lived in my hometown of Seattle, WA for my entire life until I moved away a few months ago to a much smaller city a few hours north. I miss the friends I left behind, but I'm happy with the move. I feel like I needed to live somewhere else at least once in my life. And there's great coffee and quilting shops nearby! So here's to new adventures, and fun giveaways! =D
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Melbourne, Australia and I love it! Its a pretty city with lots of parks, but we are also known for food and fashion. No matter where I end up in life, I'll always come home to Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown was originally Sitka, Alaska, but I have lived in Bellingham, Washington for the past 36 years, so it is where I call home. It is a lot like Sitka with clean air, fresh water, trees and green all around and the mountains and the ocean and lots of lakes, wildlife. Absolutely gorgeous place. Thanks for the neat giveaway and taking me back down memory lane a bit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is São Paulo, Brazil. We have great weather, nice food and warm people ^^
Thanks for the chance.
Nicey Jane. Nicey Giveaway. My hometown is about 7500 miles from where I currently am. I could tell many stories, but what stands out today is the diced ham sandwiches served in the aluminum sided building that was our only restaurant. It was only around a few years, but those grilled, diced ham sandwiches were tops.
ReplyDeleteI just love Nicey Jane! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI live in the UK, in Ramsgate in the province of Kent. It is situated just half an hours drive north of Dover where the English Channel is at it's narrowest bordering France (Dover-Calais the shortest shipping route). You might have heard of the white cliffs of Dover. These stretch all along the coast and at the end of our street you are standing on top of such a towering cliff. A little while further on are steps down to the beach. We also have a fishing harbour and a marina. It is lovely to live by the coast!

This is a link to a short story with photos I wrote on my blog last year.
Nice Nicey Jane. Loove this line! I live in a small town of New Zealand called Whangamata. Its in the upper North Island and part of the Coromandel Peninsula on the east coast. Whangamata is well known for its surf breaks and is a popular holiday destination (our poulations swells to nearly 3 times its normal size over summer). It is surrounded by native bush covered hills which are great for mountain biking or tramping and is a great place to bring up our 2 girls. You can see pictures of Whangamata here http://thesewingattic.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-corner-of-world.html Thanks for a great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Marrakech but I lived mainly in heart of France, in Auvergne, first in town then now in very small rural village.
ReplyDeleteVery gorgeous collection !
I live in Highworth, a market town in the UK it sits on a hilltop so has fantastic views and is also known as The Gateway to the Cotswolds. I've lived here for 10 years and it has such a fantastic friendly community. There are always community events going on, great shops, cafes etc
ReplyDeleteI've made some great friends here I don't think I could imagine living anywhere else now.
I haven't lived in my hometown for 30 years, but I have so many sweet memories......St. Lambert is a suburb on the south shore of Montreal. Even though it was only a 10 minute drive from a large city, everyone knew each other, there was a park every few blocks and a little village. We walked everywhere or rode our bikes and there were 500 kids at the high school. I went back a few months ago and it is still as beautiful as I remembered it.
ReplyDeleteI love Nicey Jane, it may be my favorite line ever!
My hometown is actually Idaho Falls. I'm living in Texas right now, but I miss the mountains and the perfect summers and the soil you can grow anything in. And the smaller number of bugs. But I don't miss the mosquitoes. Nope. Everything else, yep.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Burke, VA, a suburb of Washington, D.C. It was great to live in a place near so much of our nation's history, but by the time I was old enough to drive, I realized it was too busy and crazy for me. I now live in a small town in SW VA and I love it. Thanks for the opportunity to win some Nicey Jane!
ReplyDeleteWe moved a few times so I count this town where I live as my hometown. Eureka Springs, Arkansas- it's a tourist town, very hilly and picturesque and fun to live near. We actually live about 10 miles from town, but that's close enough. :) We get visitors from all over the place but mostly from MO, OK, TX, and KS. Lots of people come here to get married or honeymoon, it's a romantic place to come.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another fun drawing for great fabrics!
My hometown is actually outside a town in Connecticut. I haven't lived there for oh so many years but my fondest memories are of the Atlantic which was just down the street from my parents house.
ReplyDeleteLove the nicey jane!
My hometown was in northern NJ...one of the smaller ones. Luckily, I got out before all the horrible McMansion development started to creep in.
ReplyDeleteOh Nicey Jane is just so pretty! I love anything Heather Bailey does, but I think Nicey Jane may just be my favourite collection so far!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is a village of about 200 people here in Ontario. I like the setting of my hometown, but would never want to live there again since it's in the middle of nowhere and you have to take a car everywhere (I like to walk). I moved away when I was 17 to attend University and have been here in Toronto ever since, and I really love it!
Hi
ReplyDeleteI've lived in home town my whole life. As your driving through it if You blink you'll miss it. A bar, church, town hall and post office.
Love, Love, Love those colors.

My hometown is Orlando, FL...and I'm old, so it was a sleepy little FL town PRE-Disney!! My family is still there, but it's changed allot!! But with over 40" of snow surrounding us now here in northern VA, balmy Orlando sure is sounding good right now!! Polly
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Like most, I've moved around as a child. The place where I went to elementary school was a city and then in the 8th grade, my family moved to a rural area that had no cable TV at first. Talk about culture shock for a 12 year old who was hooked on MTV! LOL.
ReplyDeleteCurrently, I live in another small town with my husband and daughter. It's nice and quiet. We don't even have a traffic light.
Thanks for the chance!
My hometown is so small, if you'd blink, you'd miss the turnoff! We had an awesome little elementary school with the "park" a little valley next to it filled with leftover playground equipment from the old one building K-12 school. A 5 and 10, a hardware store where I bought my first seed packet. A small grocery, bank and of course, funeral home. We had so many churches you couldn't sin on one corner without someone knowing about it! LOL
ReplyDeleteThis would be the perfect fabric for me to win! Sew, thanks for the hope at a chance of sinning!
I live in Exeter, Devon in the UK, lovely mix of small city only 8 miles form the coast and a less than a couple of miles from countryside
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a town in Maryland (not too small - but just small enough) in one house where my parents lived for 42 years. Then I moved to North Carolina to a small town that grew. But I still go to the store or library and see a friend or two. I live in a house just like the one I grew up in.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown was the best!! It was outside of Philly and a more small town experience could not be found. In the summer you could leave the house after breakfast, meet up with friends and spend the day swimming, visiting the library, taking part in the arts and crafts at the school, hiking - whatever; then show up for dinner. I realize now that there were lots and lots of curtain peeking moms all over the place watching our every move!!
ReplyDeleteI actually have TWO hometowns...I've spent half my life in each place. I was raised in Billings, Montana and moved to Kershaw, South Carolina when I was 20-something. My new hometown is a small one where most everybody knows most everybody and my husband is related to most everybody! I am now 40-something I love my new hometown and I have definitely been transplanted and taken root!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love this line and have been really eyeing it.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Evanston, IL. It was a really great place to grow up. Big enough to have a lot of interesting things going on, but still a place where you knew people. Very socially/religiously/ethnically/culturally diverse, which was a nice thing to just grow up assuming was the norm. Threw me off when I moved to Minnesota for a year! :-)
I love Nicey Jane!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, I refer to my hometown as Podunk, TX. It's a small town of about 1,700 and used to be that everyone knew everyone and it was a really great place to live where people got together and kids were always out playing enjoying life. Not so much anymore. The people who made it what it was have all moved out to the country (I'm fast on their heels) and people from the neighboring towns rent their places so that their kids can go to school here. What that means is that there is no sense of community so it's really gone to the dogs. It makes me sad! Some Nicey Jane would cheer me up, though...wink, wink.
I was born and grew up in Fall River, MA a town famous for its textile mills and infamous for Lizzie Borden. Living in Missouri now but I still miss New England.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't resist this shot at winning some fabric for a baby quilt for baby #2 coming in May!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is outside Milwaukee, WI. We are lucky enough to be able to return and visit family frequently since we only live 1.5 hours away so in some ways it feels like we haven't left. I do miss the very strong Catholic/German influences, especially this time of year when I'd love to be having a Friday Fish Fry with potato pancakes once a week for Lent. I always took those things for granted, didn't think they'd be so hard to find even just an hour away.
I grew up in a very small town in central PA. It was wonderful! We were nestled amongst mountains and it was just a very sheltered, lovely place to grow up!
ReplyDeleteMy home town is Alcester South Dakota! Alcester is a tight knit, happy, communtiy! We have less than 1,000 people. We all watch out for each other here! Alcester is a Blue Ribbon school, and the teachers work very very very hard to make sure that "no child is left behind"....This winter Alcester has been hit pretty hard with a lot of snow and ice! This fabric would certainly bring some much needed sunshine! Alcester is the bestest in the Midwestest!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these fabrics. My hometown is Fort Worth, Texas a laid back cowboy town which has some of the best BBQ in the world.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown...well in the last count, there are 49 people in out "town". We actually live in the country it's just that the "city limits" are so far out that we are counted in the population. Our family makes up 7 of the 49. In our city limits we have a golf course, fertilizer compnay and a school....no gas station, convenience store or even a place to purchase milk....no post office for that matter. Our mail comes from the "city" to the south...population 250.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Sykesville, Maryland, although my family doesn't live there anymore. Semi-rural with a river down the road, that I loved driving along in the gray mornings on the way to high school, watching as the world awakened. I think the area has become a bit busier now, but that is how I remember it! :) The river, the wild day lilies in the summer, and fields in the sunrise.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is very small. My father owns the hardware store in town, and we're practically related to everyone in town. I live 1/2 mile up the hill from my parents, who live right next door to my grandmother, and my 2 uncles. We have a very tight knit family town. It's wonderful being in a small town and close to family who are willing to babysit and let me use their washing machines.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown has a lot of cultural activities, good quilting shops and yet within 15 minutes you can be out in the country. I love the mixture.
ReplyDeleteI still live in my hometown, Fort Smith, Arkansas. It's the second largest city in Arkansas but still has a small town feel. It's the home of Hanging Judge Parker's court and famous gallows, Fort Chaffee, and the future site of the National Marshall's Museum. We also have the widest "main" street in America (so my Mother says). We have cold winters and HOT summers, beautiful mountains, lakes and valleys, and we are located on the border next to Oklahoma. We are refferred to as the "River Valley" because we are surrounded by the Arkansas River. Our town slogan is "Life's worth living in Fort Smith". And it really is.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown, Pearland, is not far from where I love now. It has grown tremendously. At some point I laughed when they put up signs calling it a master planned community - uh, anything but! Still a lot of good memories.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown was a grey grey dull dull city in the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain. It would've been great if we had had some Nicey Jane around back then... It won't do any wrong either to get some of it now!! :-D
ReplyDeleteContact:librosfera(at)gmail(dot)com
My hometown was a small place (that's grown much larger since) where everyone knows everyone (and all of their business:0). In high school we spent the weekends "dragging main"! It was a nice place to grow up.
ReplyDeleteI love my hometown, and live here still. My husband talks of relocating and I say NEVER. We are small enough to feel community and big enough to seem city. so much to do here, baseparks, hockey arenas, museums, loads of parks, top notch libraries. Its the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks for achance at these gorgeous fabrics!
Oh I love that bag!
ReplyDeletewell currently I live in the city but I still consider myself a small town girl since my whole like I have lived in small towns, I miss not worrying so much about my child and even though everyone in the town knew everything,sometimes that is a good thing ;)
Thanks for the chance!
Oh my gosh...they are PRETTY!!!!!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteWANT THEM...:o)
I do live in a small village just a few miles from the northern coast of Sweden... nearest town is Piteå... the Riviera of the North..;o) but when looking out now... the Riviera seems very very far away... covered in LOTs of snow and ice...BRRRRR!!!!
Oh my goodness these fabrics are so beautiful. I am always drawn to pinks and these florals just flow. I was born in the big apple but my folks were from Florida, so we moved back when I was young. So I consider the Sunshine State my hometown.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, cute, fresh, sprig!
ReplyDeleteMy home town: Berlin - big, bustling, smelly (to out-of-towners) city. Love it. Dialect included.
Oooooh, nice! Love this line so much. It reminds me of my grandmother. It was hard to choose my fav, but I'll go with
ReplyDelete"Lindy Leaf blue HB15"
Bowling Green, KY is the corvette capital of the world! And, no, I don't have one. You'd think they'd be cheaper here since this is where they are made, but...they're not.
heather bailey hasn't gone wrong yet with her fabrics...i just love them all!
ReplyDeleteso, my hometown....I grew up in the small town of Hicksville, OH (please do not laugh...you can google it)...most people think I'm referring to a town with a bunch of "hicks", well I'm not trying to be clever or even a smart*** about it....now that I live in the city about 25 minutes away, I'm starting to miss home...it's funny, i never really like living there while growing up..everyone knew your business, but now that my son is getting to the age to start pre-school, I really miss living in such a tight-knit community.
What a beautiful line!
ReplyDeleteI grew up an Army brat. For the past 11 years I've been in SE Arkansas and I love it! Before AR I lived in San Jose, CA for 14 years and it was a nice place to live. But I'm happy with where I am now - it's very peaceful.
Beautiful fabrics! My hometown was much like Nicey Jane's~ small, everyone friendly and helpful. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!
These are my colors!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is a quaint little place filled with crazies... literally!
It has a mental health unit. :)
I grew up in a small Canadian town.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good way to grow up, you learn to care for those around you and to be accountable for your actions as those around you ALL know your business. Thanks for this weeks beautiful fabric giveaway.
Ahh Nicey Jane she is a sweet girl. My home town is Central Point, Oregon... what can I say. I am glad I left but that doesn't mean I hate it :)
ReplyDeleteLove this fabric. I have not seen it in person yet but it looks beautiful! I grew up in Minnetonka, Mn. Famous for the huge Lake Minnetonka. It is a suburb of Minneapolis and very close to where I am raising my family!
ReplyDeleteLove this fabric!! My hometown is a small cozy-enough suburb outside of Houston. I haven't been back in about 20 years and I'm sure its grown into Houston by now. Plenty of flavor, just small enough.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful fabric line!
ReplyDeleteEven though California is my home state I consider North Carolina my home state. I live in an area called the Piedmont. This area was first settled by a group of people called the Moravians and they have passed down there wonderful baked goods. The Moravians make the thinnest sugar cookies you have ever eaten. Yum!
My hometown right now is not the best..... we have our home up for sale and hope to move back to the hometown we love and where we spent 23 years raising our kids....our kids and grandkids are still there and we miss them...
ReplyDeleteMy home town, Idalou, is a small town in the panhandle of Texas. Great place to grow up. My Grandparents and their siblings all grew up in that town and graduated from the same high school that I graduated from. I haven't lived there in about 30 years, but I still get excited when I see someone in an Idalou t-shirt or letter jacket.
ReplyDeletemyirishbaby neillna@nwol.net
love nicey jane! my hometown is various cities in utah. i love the mountains and the weather here ( most of the time) thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletejacquelynbateman@hotmail.com
My hometown: snow~Halloween to March, slush~April and May. Thanks for the chance to win some Nicey Jane, it is lovely.
ReplyDeleteCute totebag! these are so pretty. So fresh and springy.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Mandeville, Louisiana, Although I have been living in texas the last 18 years. Wow I hadnt realized I was that old HahHaa!
I grew up in Smalltown, Nebraska just south of Omaha! Loved it and hated it. If you wanted to find the action, you cruised main street--REALLY! (and I'm not that old) I can't tell you how many miles I put on the car just driving up and down the street. Good times!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown- used to be a small place with only a few businesses and lots of empty fields to play in. Now neighborhoods and shoping centers have taken over. But it it still one of my favorite places to be. Thanks for the Nicey giveaway.
ReplyDeletespackattak7 at hotmail dot com
Love the bag your daughter made.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is in the heart of Amish Country Pennsylvania.
My hometown is where I still live!!
ReplyDeleteColleges, yes 4 of them, shopping, art, family activities!
Gorgeous fabrics!! Makes me long for spring to arrive SOON!
My hometown is a little town that is full of tourists and ski hills. It is cold and snowy-- but beautiful in the summer!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful array of fabrics. Just looking at them makes the winter blues go away. My hometown is small and friendly.
ReplyDeleteskeeler51@windstream.net
I am SEW in LOVE with Nicey Jane. Oh the joy and goodness of those sherbet colors. Just toooo yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteI live in Vista California.....home of one of the nicest spas in the country ( Golden Door....made famous by Oprah). Not that I will ever get a chance to go there (G)!!! But I can dream...about spas AND Nicey Jane.
Wow, my hometown is soooooo different from where I live now!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Oakland, CA. Yes, the ghetto! ;) I now live in a small, fairly quiet town.... nad I love it. Gorwing up in Oakland certainly had some advantages though and I am greatful to have had those opportunities!
My home town is a big city. Actually it's a bunch of cities that have grown together to become a huge metropolitan area. I still live here, though 20+ years ago, I moved to the outer edge and I'm slowly becoming surrounded as the cities continue to grow and combine. It's a great place to live in the winter (I don't like to be cold), and the summers aren't for the wimpy or thick blooded, but I still love the summers here. We just adapt and stay inside where there is air conditioning. I can't imagine living anywhere else!
ReplyDeleteTracy
My hometown has changed a lot since I left - it's way busier and populated than when I lived there. My "new" hometown is much quieter and surrounded by farms, I'm hoping this one doesn't change so much.
ReplyDeleteOh I love my hometown. It's so small there are no street names, no stop lights, not even a grocery store! Growing up there was the best. I knew every single person in town. Back then there were actually two grocery stores and my Aunt owned one of them. My Grandparents lived just a block away, so I was very close to them. Life was good. I still love to go back there for visits. It will always feel like "going home"!
ReplyDeletekeels@mvdsl.com
My home town is suburb of L.A. in the valley that started Valley Girls. So I guess I am one of the original Valley Girls! For sure, gag me with a spoon!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is nicknamed 'Nature's Air-Conditioned City'. When I was growing up they served free lemonade whenever it reached 90 deg --- it hardly ever did back then. I LOVE the Nicey Jane fabrics and want to make a quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown, Millwood Washington doesn't really exist anymore--swallowed up by Spokane. I could ride my bike to the corner drug/fountain, the drive up (for soft cones), the library, the rock shop--everywhere, and still build "forts" in the empty field next to my grandma's. Went to school with the same kids all the way through.
ReplyDeleteNow I live in Iowa and my kids have much the same set up. So nice to have a quiet, safe place to live, even if teenagers all want to move away! Thanks for the chance to win some of these great fabrics--the tote turned out great!
I left my european home town at an early age. The next best place would be Brandon,Manitoba. A great town where my brother and I could wander and explore in the wee hours of the morn. I hope one day to be able to return to my european hometown with my family.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
Wow, I just started to read the comments. Amazing how diverse your readers are, from all over the world. I will just add to it. My hometown is Kosice, Slovakia. I lived there first 20 years of my life. Now I live in Illinois. I don't plan on staying here, but most likely won't go back to Slovakia. Well, who knows I am pretty much open to wherever the wind takes me... :)
ReplyDeletei live in a small community...been there all my life and rasing my kids there...everyone knows everyone....even the kids i grew up with are either still there or moving back..teresab
ReplyDeleteteresa@thepricecompanies.com
My hometown is Spokane, WA!! whoo hoo!! When I was 19 I moved to the big city of Seattle, 5 years later had to move back some family members were ill and I HAD TO BE CLOSER! So glad I did, met my husband who is also from the area about a year 1/2 later so now we are close to both our families...LOVE the nicey jane, love love!
ReplyDeleteI'm from a little town of Crescent City, CA where the Redwood trees meet the ocean, but just before you hit OR. In fact Star Wars and the ewoks (SP?) was filmed there and Jurassic Park was also filmed slightly south of us. We also are famous for a Tsunami that hit in the 70's. No big city for me, though I live in the bay area of CA now.
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is delightful!
janellepevans@gmail.com
I live in Wisconsin now, but my "home" town is a tiny little one mile square in southern New Jersey, halfway between Philadelphia and the beach! I soooo miss the beach!
ReplyDeleteOoops. I think I'm too late. Lovely giveaway. Darn. But I wanted to let you know that you are very nice to hold such a fun & generous giveaway.

My hometown is literaly in the middle of nowhere-rural Missouri-we are not close to anything, but that is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI was born in North Vancouver, BC and now I live there after living in several other places - I guess North Vancouver is my hometown ... I am open to moving again ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
We live at the Gateway to Mt. Hood and it's BEAUTIFUL! I love the area. I just wish it didn't rain so much. But then it wouldn't be so beautiful. Catch 22 I tell ya. And i LOVE this fabric! Been out of the loop for a while and I can't believe everything I've missed. I also can't buy any fabric right now. So my only hope of getting anything fun and new, is to win some! Pick me! ;o) ooxx`jod
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics. I don't have a hometown either since I moved a lot as a kid -- 5 elementary schools, 2 junior high schools and 3 high schools. But I've now lived in my present town for 7 years -- and expect to be here forever. It is my adopted hometown. My parents moved here when I was in college. And two great-great-grandfathers were original town residents in the 1850s (the town got its start in 1847).
ReplyDeleteNancy
My hometown is hosting the Olympics right now! I don't live there any more, but it is still one of my favourite places to visit. The Nicey Jane line reminds my of it in the Spring!
ReplyDeleteMy home town is about 45 minutes from San Francisco. It was pretty quiet when I was growing up, one high school. It has grown a ton since I was kid. I really liked visiting San Francisco and Berkeley when I was kid, well I still like visiting those cities.
ReplyDeleteMy home town is Orange County California. Beautiful beaches, perfect weather, nice people, close to everything, what more could a girl ask for?
ReplyDeleteI live in a city that can't decide if it wants to be a big city or a small town. Maybe that's why I'm so indecisive!
ReplyDeleteLet's see....my hometown was originally Massapequa, Long Island New York...But then my parents uprooted us to the "other" coast & I spent the rest of my childhood in a small town, south of San Francisco. What a change that was...kept threatening my parents I was going to run away & move back to NY...LOL!
ReplyDeleteNever did, though...just a defiant kid.
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S line of fabric!
Wow - what a great collection! My hometown is a small town outside Rochester, NY. My parents still live there and I love to visit. The Erie canal runs through the middle of town.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric, and love your giveaways!
ReplyDeleteWe moved around a fair amount, but we stayed in the same county. I remember lots of snow in winter and lots of fun and freedom in summer. We were pretty surrounded by orchards to play in and we walked or rode our bikes everywhere. I wish I could give my kids that kind of freedom.
What can I say about my hometown? It's small and everybody knows everybody. This can be a good thing and a bad thing. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is good ol' Gilbert, Arizona. Not much to say about it...When I was little, it was mostly farmland in the middle of nowhere. Now it is mostly houses in the middle of everything! I like it :)
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI live in San Antonio, Tx....home of the famous River Walk downtown and the Historical Alamo.
Ya'll come & visit us....great for vacations.
There's not really a town where I am... Farmer's daughter and now a farmer's wife. I didn't expect to end up where I started, but it's a good life nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteNicey Jane is SO pretty!
I like the green colorway most of all. I could say my husband wouldn't mind it in my bedroom because he doesn't pay attention to anything like that! This line is another hit. My hometown was Reading, PA. You know, the name of the railroad on monopoly. And FYI it is pronounced REDDING not REEDING. Nothing gets a person from Reading madder than to hear it pronounced REEDING!
ReplyDeleteNicey Jane makes me smile, it’s so pretty! I like the bag your daughter made, it’s cute. And I may have to buy some of this at your sale.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown, I consider it to be Hardin, Montana. The last place I lived with my family before I went off to college. It was a small town, 400 kids in our high school. I liked it because there wasn’t a lot out there, it was quiet, you could be alone when you went hiking. Everybody was pretty friendly. I live in Portland now, a big city… and sometimes I feel claustrophobic, too many people!
I LOVE the Nicey Jane - I want to make a dress for my daughter out of some of it!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown....SLO, CA and lovely little college town in the central coast. There is so much to do outdoors all year long as the weather is so mild. Great place to go to college!!
My home town is a wonderful little town called New Paltz in NY state. It is a fabulous town that never really got out of the 60s. Tons of tie dye. One little main street, no big chains.
ReplyDeleteOooh they are so nice.. I live in Halifax NS. It is a nice smaller city on the East Coast of Canada. Lots of music, scenery and down to earth goodness
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Kokomo, IN. When we got married we moved to Michigan where he was in college and I helped "put hubby through". We never moved back to our hometown, but have lived in 8 different states. I love the Nicey Jane line and would love to win your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI lived in or around my hometown for 35 years. I moved about about 12 years ago. I recently went back and visited...I got lost! Everything has changed so much, all the old landmarks were gone. The changes were all good but it was still a little sad.
ReplyDeleteYummy, I have been longing for some Nicey Jane!
ReplyDeleteMy current hometown is a subrub of Chicago. It's all shopping malls, chain restaurants, soccer moms and minivans. I don't like it here very much at all! I want to move south someday where the weather is warmer. :)
My hometown is a suburb of Los Angeles, so even though it is a large city of over 100,000 everyone at the post office still knows me ;)
ReplyDeleteMy home town... Well, my parents moved their when I was 2 months old and they still live in the same house almost 23 years later. I love my home town...growing up, and before all of the new housing developments, it was known as the Apricot Capital of the World...we even had a sign downtown that said it and every year they have a HUGE fiesta in celebration of apricot harvesting season. It lasts three days...we have a pageant, parade, vendors, rides, food, hot air balloon go off every morning, and even a firework show!!
ReplyDeleteMy home town Norcross Georgia, now I live up the road a bit in Cumming. But Norcross is my Hometown & my parents still live in my childhood home

My hometown was a typical 50's small town in middle America. We rode our bikes to the library, ate our mom's pot roast on Sunday, and said the Pledge of Allegiance every day in school. Ah--sweet memories!
ReplyDeleteWell, I love this pretty fabrics and I even have a plan for it *lol*
ReplyDeleteMy hometown lays in the deep Black Forrest - yeah in germany.
I allways remember such a quantity of snow as we have at this time. But most of people had forgotten that.
Freudenstadt is a really pretty city with wonderful quarters to sit down and eat ice or drink coffee.

My hometown..
ReplyDeleteI used to hate it.. it was small, and far away from the biggest towns, far away from the beaches, the mountains.... until I had to leave.. now I miss that little small town so damn much. =(
I'd love to buy all fats, but I live in Brazil, and I have that "customs issue"... If you could declare total value lower than $50, even if the price is higher, or make a sale-sale-price to your Brazilian customer, please, send me an e-mail: giselemilanezi@gmail.com
And sorry about my poor english.. ;)
By the way... I'd LOVE to have a husband who "doesn't mind florals or pink"... You're soooo lucky!!! =)
ReplyDeleteThe town I grew up in is the same town both my mother and father grew up in. My parents still own the farm that they bought from my fraternal grandparents. And I only live seven miles away from there now! I think my hometown is special since seven of my eight siblings live within 25 miles of our hometown!
ReplyDeleteI think Nicey Jane is a hometown girl too.
My hometown's a little boring (Abilene, TX). Some stayed to raise their families there, but I ran for the hills and ended up in Ft. Worth, TX!!!
ReplyDeleteNicey Jane is just dreamy and reminds me of the images in my head about peaceful life in the country.............ahh......

my hometown is Lincoln Nebraska.. home of the Huskers ... and not a lot else. Ok, not true. It's a good sized, clean, overall happy city and was a great place to grow up with nice bike paths and parks and good schools. Alas, I am far from there now!
ReplyDeleteLove the Nicey Jane... thanks for the giveaway!
My hometown is actually was in the midst of the Amish in PA (no, I am not Amish...ha ha). My family lived in the country where we were surounded by farms. It was a great place to grow up...now that I live in-town, I really miss it.
ReplyDeleteMy home town is a very little town of possibly 150 people in eastern Iowa. My parents just moved from there 3 yrs ago. When I was growing up the town had a grocery store, gas station, tavern, grade school and a beautiful Catholic church. I rather liked growing up there. You knew everyone & everyone knew you. We walked to school. During the summer months and every night after school all the neighbor kids got together to play. You just had to be home when the street lights came on. We always felt safe. I will always think of this little town as my home even though for the past 20+ yrs I have lived in Illinois.

My home town is Spokane, WA. Hurray for the PNW! I always loved that Spokane was the Lilac City and lilacs can be found all over the city. It makes for a very aromatic spring.
ReplyDeleteI was born and still live in Burlington, Vt. Also the home of Ben & Jerry's ice cream (which explains my hips!)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to claim my current town as my hometown. It's where my husband and I decided to settle and raise our kids. It's a wonderful town with a population around 400, one stop sign, and neighbors who will call when you have a visitor to see who came to call (that is if they don't know already through the grapevine). The members of our church will stop by to make sure everything is alright if we miss a service, and if someone is sick, goodies are brought. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is West Palm Beach Florida, where I spent most of my time at the beach or at the ranch riding my horses. I live in a small town in GA now and it is MUCH different!! I love it though, my father grew up here and it's a GREAT place to raise kids!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Decatur, Alabama. I would call it mid size. I love it here. Supposedly, we are the home of America's first wave pool.

My hometown was a quaint little historical village in Connecticut. It had a lot of history and not much else--lol. But, it was a quiet area to grow up in and did have a wonderful school system with great sports.
ReplyDeleteOn a different note, I absolutely love that fabric! I hope I am lucky today! Thanks!
My home town...wow, it was wonderful. Farmington, Utah. Lagoon...full of history and safe. It was such a wonderful place to grow up. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Windermere, Fl. I was there pre-Disney. It was a small town-surrounded by lakes.It had dirt roads--only two of the streets were paved. It had a post office, filling station, and a general store. We had "Civic Club" once a month in the Town Hall--basically a pot luck dinner for the town. It was the perfect place to grow up. Thanks for giving me a chance to remember it.
ReplyDeleteNicey giveaway! My hometown is the biggest one in Canada but I don't live there anymore. I still love it, though. Now I live on the other side of the country in a city that's got a lot less snow, a lot less humidity and a lot more rain than Toronto.
ReplyDeleteHometown? What is that? Well if you consider it to be the town I grew up in (cause I've been gone over 20 years) that would be the Bay Area, CA. Still have family there as a matter a fact. I've lived many places thanks to hubby's military service....still trying to find a place to grow roots.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Meridian, ID ... whats even better than that? I still live here!! I love driving by my childhood landmarks and seeing the new with the old. Love it!

the cool blues and greens are lovely together! My favorite spot in my home town is a really cool retro style ice cream parlor with the best ice cream in the world!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this fabric!! :)
ReplyDeleteLet's see....my home town?? I was born in a little town in Minnesota because my parents were living with my maternal grandparents at the time... loved going to visit my grandparents and the farm...
My kids' hometown and where I have lived for the past 25+ years is nicknamed the Queen City.... but its not very royal these days...
Bit of a slump thanks to the recession, but we bounced back after all the mills closed and I am sure we will bounce again.

We moved to Utah about two years ago, right before our son left for his mission to Mexico. Our HOMETOWN is San Jose, CA. We love San Jose, and miss my family and the weather. ")
ReplyDeleteI live in Nashua NH now, but my hometown is a place called Temple View in New Zealand! It's a town of about 1000 people, built around the NZ temple, and about 90% are LDS! It was an awesome place to grown up and I miss it, especially friends and family still there.
ReplyDeleteAs for Nicey Jane, well she is welcome to visit my hometown, or my new town anytime she wants!!
My home town was just featured on the news for having a "pet deer" within city limits. Some kids even got it a collar and tag. Small town Iowa at its best!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown was a really great place to grow up, we had good neighbours (playing in the neighbors' backyards), big yards and the weather was always nice, I miss that place :(.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter did a beautiful job on that bag, congrats!!!

ReplyDeleteI am from a little town called Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania. I remember growing up and having Hank's frozen custard ice cream in a cone. Hank's is a family owned business over 50 years old and it still runs today. As you walk up to the outside window to order your cone, you can see "Hank" making his ice cream. The girls are wearing matching red bandanas as hats and are dressed all in white. Every day is a designated flavor. My favorite is still Raspberry. I would take so long to lick my ice cream away. It would eventually melt to the bottom of my cone. I savor the taste any time I think of Home. It was such a treat for my dad to take us to Hank's. It was the local hangout for children and their parents to get together. The whole community would eventually end up at Hank's for a cone. Conneaut Lake is like a step into Pleasentville. I love my hometown. I currently live in Jensen Beach, Florida, with the love of my life and my puppy Tucker. I love this Blog that Ya all have here. It is so cute. I hope to visit you all someday. Keep your Scciors Sharp!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Vernon, British Columbia. It is a really pretty town of about 30,000 people set between the lakes and the mountains. There are lush orchards and beautiful summers! My dad still lives there but I've been gone for many years. It is a great place to go home to and I'm so glad to have been raised there!
ReplyDeleteI love this collection, so springy and cute.
ReplyDeleteMy home town is Glendora, California, Pride of the Foothills. When I was about 10, someone decided to nick name the town "The Candlelight City." The city sold large plastic candles to by placed in the yard. UGLY! After about a month, not one candle was still out. We were back to The Pride of the Foothills. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHi! My home town isn't very big and I have to drive about 25 miles north or west to get to any major stores. So, I usually go at least once a week. I have many good memories of my home town- everybody pretty much knows each other. Small and quaint- I would love to open a quilt store here! I just LOVE these fabrics and would LOVE to win!:) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteorr20004@msn.com
Love nicey jane!! The tote bag is adorable. Wish we had a good quilt shop in town, I love to feel the fabrics I'm buying. Hometown is Grand Rapids, MI, now I live in a little suburb called Rockford. Great place, good schools and people. Always lived in the same area, 5 different houses within a 10 mile area. It's HOME!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about my hometown was the small town feel. Second favorite: proximity to a bigger city!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Cincinnati and was a great place to grow up! Love the Nicey Jane-so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh pretty! My hometown...it seems I'm not the only nomad leaving a comment. I was born in Rochester, NY, then lived in Ft Collins, CO and now I'm here in Pennsylvania. What can I say but home is where the heart is!! :) Christine
ReplyDeleteMy hometown ~ very small. Main Street boasted a JJ Newberry's 5 and Dime and a Roses. I used to love going in the 5 and Dime and looking at the aisle of office supplies. Oooh, those rubber bands were exciting! LOL! Then I grew up and moved away...it's still a good town.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Nicey Jane!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is the "small" town of Lexington, South Carolina. I had a tremendous childhood and hope to one day raise my own children there :o)
Ahhhh! That is the bomb!!! Totally. I LOVE it! LOVE it! ~Page
ReplyDeleteI was born in Hollywood, CA...then my Dad was drafted..we moved to PA..I loved growing up in PA but my Dad needed to work in Hollywood, so back to the west but this time in the OC. LOVE it...raised our three children there and will always consider it home in spite of the fact that we spend our summers in North Idaho.
ReplyDeletethese are some beautiful fabrics and i can see that they will definitely be must haves .. thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy hometown is Cambridge, MA. I fondly remember the trolly cars which no longer exist. I used to love to walk around the campus of Harvard Univ. because it was so beautiful. Now I mellow out in Tennesse and love it!
