Amy Ellis of "Amy's Creative Side" is one of those friends you meet and have an "instant" bond with. We email, we do events back and forth at our blogs, and I love it when I even meet my freinds in person! Amy has a great blog with a strong community and she shares so much. I was excited when her first book was released and can't wait to see what she does next!
Let's learn some FUN FACTS about Amy!
If you were a salad, what kind of dressing would you want poured all over you? I would want a balsamic vinaigrette over me. Sweet and tangy, with lots of depth!
If you were a car, what kind would you be? Car? I'd be an Aston Martin, the classic shape is fantastic!
Who would play you in a movie version of your life? I would love to have Tina Fey play me! She's a mom, super creative, and smart!
What is the quilt you shared? Selecting a favorite quilt is always a hard question! Truth be told, there's a number around the house that are considered favorites, but today my favorite is Modern Maze. I love it because it is a simple block, but the results are really fun. It was one of the first few quilts I designed on my own, and it's in my book, Modern Basics, which makes it even more special!
Some auditioning of fabrics for Spring...
(see spring here... some worked out!)
Auditioning Summer,

I want to be a Ferrari, sleek, powerful and sexy. Especially since I'm currently a Volkswagon Beetle, round and dumpy!!

This blog hop was very fun!

I would go for a vintage VW beetle, color yellow.....old but still cute, small but sturdy and very rounded in shape. haha

I would be a yellow 70's VW beetle. My favorite - just tooling around!
Posted by: Sarah in Houston | Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 04:59 PM
I would be a MGA----since this is the car that my husband is in the process of restoring
Posted by: Donna W | Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 01:50 PM
I would like to be a muscle car from the 70's !! camaro , mustang or chevelle would do !!
Posted by: Mickey Kelly White | Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 09:46 AM
I live in the north in Canada... need reliability, so a truck with four wheel drive would be perfect!!

Funny thing is, so many people think I belong in a sports car and I drove a 73 Corvette for over 12 yrs - I could pack that thing like no one's business. I regret trading in my van - no not the conversion, the window van. I love to go junkin'. The little Impala I have now, just doesn't allow me to do what I want, plus I knock my head on the window. That van holds some dear memories of taking my daughter and grandkids places. I guess I'm just a family gal that likes room for all!

I thought I posted yesterday, I couldn't find it, soooo. My car of choice would be a 60's model of a Ford Mustang Convertable. Thank you for your generosity.

I would be a triumph "bug eyed" sprite. I love these, they are small, zippy and look funny.
Posted by: Mhairi | Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 05:57 AM
It got to be Volvo S 60 R. Cool!
Posted by: Hueisei | Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 01:12 AM
Let's see...I kinda like RED pickup trucks! I wanted one for my 50th birthday, and my husband "almost" rented me one for a day. But he figured I'd be too disappointed to see it pull into the driveway and learn it really wasn't mine! He was right; I'm glad he didn't rent it!

What kind of car would I be. Well, my alter ego says a 70 Chevelle SS with a hood scoop, raised letter wide tires, jacked up in the back and to complete the package, a glass pack dual exhaust muffler system. I can hear the rumble now. Gee I loved that car. But, since I want to remain on friendly terms with my neighbors realistically, today my reliable Volvo S60 with heated seats is perfect.

I would have to say a beautiful shiny 1967 Cougar..sporty, just big enough and made to last....Thanks for the patterns Pat they are awesome...
Posted by: Sharon Griffith | Friday, February 24, 2012 at 11:02 PM
I'd be an MG - my boyfriend's favorite car.
Posted by: Cheryl | Friday, February 24, 2012 at 10:59 PM
A VW Beetle with a moving flower on the dash. Thank you for the giveaway, I love your patterns. I hope I win one from somewhere or all of them wouldn't that be something. Then I could make them all for each season. This blog hop is such a good idea, people really got to see how to put their own spin on your beautiful patterns. Oh I hope I win
Posted by: lisa johnson | Friday, February 24, 2012 at 09:36 PM
Hmmm...I think I would have to say, a Ford Focus. Dependable, economical, cute and practical.
Posted by: Cindy Dailey | Friday, February 24, 2012 at 09:01 PM
I would be a Dodge Grand Caravan because I am always hauling people and things around.
Posted by: Jill Hicks | Friday, February 24, 2012 at 08:00 PM
Hmmm, so many cars to pick from...I think I'd like to be a PT Cruiser. Fun car, lots of room, for people...yeah, that's what I'd like to be!
Posted by: Diane FIelds | Friday, February 24, 2012 at 07:09 PM
I think it would be the older Corvette like maybe a 59.
Posted by: Sandr aV | Friday, February 24, 2012 at 06:12 PM
Hmm I've never thought of what kind of car I'd be. If I was younger I'd say corvette, however, now I'm more like the reliable work truck. hehe.
Thank you for a great giveaway and the chance to win.
