  1. I love Vintage Mondays because I love seeing all the things you love and the things you collect. I also love Sew Night with Kassidy. It's fun to see the things that she likes to make.

    I've posted your button on my sidebar a few weeks ago and I won't be able to blog about it because we leave for California in a few hours and I should be in bed instead of blogging. Ha! Ha!

    I'm kinda mad at my husband for making me miss your trunk show tonight. But, it's important we go see his mom too. I'm just glad I'll be back for the 7th.

    Nanette promised to tell me all about it too! I know you'll do great and they will all LOVE You!!

  2. I love the pattern section of your blog because I really enjoy looking at your quilts and seeing all of the details you have included in each one. I am presently taking your paper doll class at Material Girls and find the pictures you have posted very helpful.

  3. Holy Cow!!! I can't believe that I'm the first comment...My fav post of late would be the one with all of the pictures of your yard. I have a degree in Landscape Design and I thought that your yard was just beautiful! In fact, I'm thinking about a gray/white combo for my fence. There's tons of inspiration in your landscape...Great Job!!!

  4. What a wonderful giveaway. I've posted your button and wrote about your giveaway on my blog: http://coffeetimestitches.blogspot.com/2009/06/giveaway.html

    My favorite blog entries are you Vintage Mondays. They remind me of my grandmother's house and make me wish my family had saved more of the items she had.

  11. Well, I had to go back and pick my favorite post which was hard because I just love them all. I love the times that you share the Clothesline Club. Always fun. Vintage Monday are so fun to see what you come up next. So I picked a Vintage Monday. It was the one where you showed all the old books about plants and gardening. They are so great.
    I just love this giveaway. I will be back after I put the picture on my post for today.

  16. Great giveaway!

    I'd choose the Animated Dishware patterns-- I love things with faces. Thought the smiling cherries yesterday were so cute.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I liked the Spring Garden post because I have many of the same flowers growing here in northern Maine...some I would love to have, but think our area is too cold for them to over winter. I loved the sentiment of the first roses that you put on your grandfather's grave on his birthday. THat was touching. PS I like the music you have in the background too...just my speed! :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I am just starting the comforts of home quilt and am embracing my hidden vintage-ness. I enjoy seeing what the class is doing for better pictures of the blocks even though I am behind.

    ReplyDelete
  19. My fav is your tutorial on kitchen towels. I love it! Now the hunt is on for some towels that I can make pretty like yours. I love this giveaway because I learned to embroider stitching dishtowels with my mom. Our dishtowels were always embroidered and stitching them is a great memory!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hi! I'm new to your blog - popped over through Coffee Time In Stitches' post about your giveaway and completely enjoyed my visit! My favorite post of those I read so far is your garden tour. It's that time of year, and I love to see what others do with their outdoor spaces. Yours is gorgeous! Please enter me into your tea towel drawing. Thanks much!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I loved your "Sew Night with Kass" bz this is such a wonderful mother/daughter thing to do. I love sewing with my daughter too. The other who doesn't sew I love doing jewelry with. I also liked your post on the embroidered dish towels bz it took me back in time to doing my own and some that were given to me. You're right too, nothing dries as well as a flour sack towel!! Cindy

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love your website! And what a great give away. I will really enjoy exporing. I just love how all this vintage stuff in back in style. I embroidered on pillow cases and dishtowels when is was a girl and it really brings back memories. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  23. the most recent favorite post was last Thursday, "Sewing with Kass". It's so important that we teach our youth to sew and do handwork. I am teaching the two kids across the street to do redwork. They are 8 and 10, a boy and a girl. They love it...
    What a great giveaway... I love to have handwork on the couch ready to pick up for a few stitches..

  24. Love these transfers and would love to win the dishtowels

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm new to your blog and love everything - especially the Vintage Mondays - but another favorite was Applique potluck - oh so many choices.

    I especially love hand embroidered dish towels and love making them.

    Thanks for the fun blog.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love your Vintage Mondays! Love seeing the pins, hankies gloves!!! Thanks for sharing!

  27. Loving all things vintage, I love Vintage Monday posts. But my very favorite postS are the ones with your original work. I don't applique and only wish I had the patience to do it!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I added your button to my side bar. You've been on my blogroll forever.

    ReplyDelete
  29. All your posts are great, but I must admit I think give-aways are sew much fun, that this is your best posting ever. This is an excellent give-away. I also love redwork, so this posting is even more special.

    Whom ever wins is certainly going to enjoy these lovely prizes.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I've just learned about your blog from someone else's ("This That and The Other") Your blog is wonderful. The group you are a part of does some wonderful work. And your garden. . . well, I could only dream to have one so beautiful. I love seeing your applique projects in process. . .I'm new to applique using needle turn and I've been trying to find ways that are comfortable and give nice results. Thanks for your blog. It is inspirational!

  35. I love those towels, they remind me of the ones my Mom had growing up. I love vintage mondays...I'm in love with all things vintage.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Lori,
    I love the Vintage Mondays......so funny that as you were posting the dishtowels yesterday, I was laundering a stack of lovely towels that my mother and grandmother had made......many, many years ago. We have been clearing out my mothers house and there are so many treasures and memories.
    Hugs, Barb

  37. I love the post about the quilt class you had in April. If California wasn't so far from Utah I would have signed up in a heartbeat.

  40. My favorite post is the one with the vintage shoe pincushions with "bling". I'm totally a bling girl, and there is a little wall space above my jewelry armoire... so this weekend I'll be making some vintage looking shoes and attaching a bunch of grandma's bling. That will remind me of her every day, and I know looking at them will make me smile! Thanks so much for the lovely ideas and great blog!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love to see the sewing projects with Kass. Thanks for the chance and for having a great blog!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hi Lori, I have enjoyed your reunion process because I love family history!! I really enjoy vintage mondays because it reminds me so much of my childhood!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love vintage Monday. I especially loved the Monday where you showed your collection of crochet hot pads. That is how I found you, and I am so glad I did. I only wish I could sew as well as you.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I would have to say Vintage Mondays are my fave. You and I collect some of the same things-but I have to say-vintage kitchen linens are the tops! So, this giveaway seems extra special sweet to me! Thanks for the chance to win. P.S.-Your paper doll quilt blocks were AMAZING!

  45. What a fun giveaway! I especially love the first set of patterns with the table settings...since I love dishes so much!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Oops...forgot to tell you my favorite post...it has to be the one where you shared your Ode to the 1930's quilt...it's so spectacular!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Lori - I think my favorite post is the one where you taught your daughter to sew and made the twirly skirt. I love that you're passing down the skills to the next generation - sewing girls seem to be dwindling! What a great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I am in the process of adding the pic to a new post to direct people here for the contest. I was directed by another great blog :-)
    I don't have a favorite blog post yet, but I think your vintage mondays are awesome!
    Also flour sack towels are the best, best, best dish towel ever.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I love aprons so I loved the post about your Apron Club pattern and all your apron stories!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I just discovered your blog from a link on This That and the Other. I am so happy to be here because I love vintage things. My favorite page in your blog is the Vintage Monday Embroidered Dishtowels. I remember, as a 10-year old, embroidering these at my aunt's house during the long summer vacations. My aunt was so kind to me when I made a mistake, she would undo it and hand the dishtowel back to me and said, "try again." I still embroider today and I am 69 years old. I've added your blog to my Google Reader and will check it out daily. Thanks so much!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Ok, I edited my post today to include the pic of the dishcloths with the bow and include your giveaway when I talked about you coming to Alpine. Check!

    What a sweet giveaway. I told you dishtowels are in my future next week. I want to make some up at my sister's ranch. This is just such fun stuff. Be still my heart. Everything you make is so wonderful.

    My favorite post of yours? hmmm Let me think a bit. I loved your Easter pics of when you were a kid. I loved the dresden plates that you found - pure jealousy- and I love the vintage pot holders. It is hard to pic a favorite. So please don't make me.

    Ohh this is a fun post too!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Your show and tell post are great! Love seeing all the pictures of things...

    of course these give away post are pretty cool too, :O) tee hee

  54. Well I have no idea how I missed out on having you in my reader, but that problem is now fixed. Your garden tour has to be at the top of my favorite list at the moment. The colours in your garden are just beautiful. It looks so relaxing and inviting.

  60. V. here... I saw your Kitchen Stitchin give away on Freda's hive. My favorite post is about Kass sewing the charm squares and the strip pillow and tissue holders. My grandaughter came from Nigeria and it inspired me to help her sew a bag. She really was into it!! I don't have a blog. Thanks so much!v

    ReplyDelete
  61. I do like seeing all those stitcheries! I like the post with the garden tour, the pics are beautiful! I would love to win one of your giveaways!!

  62. Wait, wait, I forgot to tell you what my favorite post is - any post of you sewing with your DD (reminds of my DD and I so many years ago - lol)

    ReplyDelete
  63. I'm sure glad Nanette sent "me" here! I'm so hooked on embroidery, I've loved perusing yours! Sew Night with Kass. That Curly Girl is darling and so is her skirt! This is a wonderful giveaway! I sure enjoyed looking at your 'stuff' on the Wasatch Shop Hop this month. Thanks Lori.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I didn't get to look too much but there are two posts I enjoyed. The one about your friend Linda I really liked because that is a sign of true friendship and very sweet of you to feature her work. The other was the one with the old Crazy quilt, I just love Crazy quilts. I also put your button on my side bar. I found your site through Simply this and that.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I went WAY back in your blog, and I love your last post. I love dishtowels. I use my embroidery machine. If I hand embroidered them, I'd probably never use them. I could do one set just to touch!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I have never been here before (jodi sent me) and I'm so glad she did.
    I stayed awhile and snooped around because your music is so fabulous!
    I knew I'd like your blog the minute I heard Doris Day sing "please don't eat the daisies"!!!
    I love Doris Day and Rock Hudson (swoon)!!!

    My favourite posts have to be your tutorials--I particularly like the binding the dishcloth one.

  97. I love every single one of your posts. To pick a favorite is hard, but I especially liked "ode to 1930's quilt". I loved the sampler you made. I still have to make a 30's quilt, have been collecting fat quarters, and that pattern and the prints and colors you used inspired me to make that quilt myself. I also liked that you made it with friends. That makes quilting so much more fun. I have your button on my blog. Your giveaway sure is wonderful!

  98. I just came across your blog today and the first thing that caught my eye was your lovely blog background and banner! They are very cute. I've added you to my google reader now and will spend some time browsing your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Okay right off the bat my favorite post is the Sew Night with Kass, the twirly girly skirt. My Mom started teaching me to sew when I was about 10 so this brought back nice memories!!

    I love, love, love the animated dishware pattern! I'd love to win because they would go SO well in my kitchen which is done in retro things with black, white and cherries.

    Thanks!

  105. LORI,
    What a great giveaway- My mom used to make tea towels and I remember some of the days of the week patterns. It seems to me that she had ones with bears or bees. I know that she had the sun bonnet sue ones.
    It is awhile since I embroidered but I think that I remember how.
    Thanks for adding my name to your giveaway list.
    Regards from a Western Canadian Quilter,
    Anna

    ReplyDelete
  109. If I have to choose I guess I would say I love seeing the applique blocks for the quilts you are currently working on--it makes me wish I lived closer to where you are so I could attend your classes. I've made the Apron quilt and I'm working on Grandma's Kitchen. I'm also making a mini Apron Quilt for our guild president (at her request). Vintage Monday's are a lot of fun too!

    ReplyDelete
  110. Your garden was stunningly gorgeous. I enjoy your Vintage Monday posts--I love old linens and needlework. My favorite dishtowel pattern would be "Setting the Table". Thank you for sharing.

  134. Hi Lori. What a wonderful giveaway. Sorry but I can't pick just one favorite post, always enjoy all of them. I especially enjoy when you give us a peek of a current project & your vintage Mondays.

    ReplyDelete
  135. I love the dishtowels. My husband's aunt gave me a dozen when we were married 40 years ago and I loved using them.

    Favorite posts would have to be sewing the pink children's skirt as I sew with my grandchildren a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I just now found your blog through Freda’s Hive so currently I do not have a favorite post. However, I did read about your “little apron water bottle covers” and absolutely love them. These would be good for a bar-b-que using small print food fabrics or even a birthday party using cup cake fabric. I just love these little aprons!

    ReplyDelete
  137. Not to sound like a broken record, but the Vintage Monday posts are da bomb. These dish towels always make me think of my grandmothers. I'm going to add a like to your contest over at my blog, www.heideho.wordpress.com Cheers!

  143. I would love to win the table setting pkg. I had to laugh when I seen that picture of the little girl at the table with the hair dryer attached to head. I have the same picture of me when I was little...I had forgotten all about those contraptions. I also love your family reunion quilt you have been working on. Thanks for the inspirations.

  146. LOVE the giveaway - love your blog but this giveaway has to be the best as it reminded me right away of my MOM (I lost her a few years ago :( ) I would be honored to have another constant reminder of my mom around, especially in my kitchen. (I am positive I have old material from her that is exactly like this..going to look!!)

  148. Hard to choose a favorite - I really thought the hot pads back in March were cute though.

    I too do NOT have a blog - but would love to enter anyway!

    ReplyDelete
  149. I just found your blog, after finding some of your patterns in one of my favorite local stores. How COOL! I sure have been missing out.

    I must admit I got a huge kick out of the picture of you (?) under the dryer in the "Bookshelf" section. I thought I was the only youngster who's mother sat her under the "tent dryer" so the curlers could do their magic.....

    I also don't have a blog (will soon) but will enjoy reading yours, now that I've found it.

    ReplyDelete
  150. I love the Ode to the 1930's quilt....because it is gorgeous and I love 1930's prints! Great blog!

  151. I love the Ode to the 1930's quilt post, especially all the up close pictures of the blocks, but my favorite still our the Vintage Monday blogs, I just love seeing all the treasures.

I'd like to sew like that with my daughter one day and these give me inspiration and ideas on how to make a sewing night successful.

  158. Wow! This brought back serious memories for me!! My favorite post was the Vintage Monday post on the Embroidered Dish Towels. I used to do these with my grandma when I was a little girl. She also had paints that we used to paint these same designs. Everything 'crafty' about me, I learned from my grandma - quilting, painting and embroidering dishtowels, crocheting, sewing...you name it! When my grandma passed away, I saw the family fighting over items that they deemed to be 'valuable'. It saddened me because it wasn't that they wanted them for memories, but for their monetary worth. Needless to say, I didn't have any competition, when all I asked for were her old dish towels! Thank you for keeping this alive for new generations!

  179. On what a wonderful site. I'm glad I found your blog. And what a wonderful contest.
    I love the Monday Bling post... why My grandmother (we called mamaw) taugh me to sew, crochet and to appreciate the fine craft of needlework. She passed away several years ago and I miss her dearly. The Shoe pincushions remine me of her. She collected little glass shoes. I have most of her collection and look at them everyday. The pincushions would have gone well with her collection.

    I'll be posting your button and contest prize on my blog later this morning. And Thankyou for having such a wonderful blog and reminding me of my precious Mamaw.

I also love the picture of you and your sisters from the post that goes with the garden quilt. Just one look at those dresses makes me remember how itchy those dresses were. I really love the music - reminds me of the music my mother listened to in our kitchen. I put the button on my blog and will post about it today!

    My favorite pasttime is quilting, but I also adore vintage hand embroidery. My mom taught me crewel years ago...
