Pat Sloan -Girls in the Garden Blog Hop!

To say I'm excited is the understatement of the year!

I asked Five friends to take my "Girls in the Garden" patterns and make their favorite pattern in 'their style fabrics".

And it's a SECRET so I won't see their quilt until I CLICK THE LINK BELOW!

plus later this week I'll share how I designed the Girls in the Garden!

*****************************

What to do?

• Each day visit the guest blogger and leave a comment to be in the running to win your favorite of the patterns!

• Each day leave me a comment here to be in the running to win a SET of my patterns.  Tell me one item that reminds you of your favorite season!
  

PLUS when I told Kimberly at the Fat Quarter Shop about it she wanted to jump in with a giveway.. how cool is that!

*****************************

Let's learn some FUN FACTS about Michele through my 3 questions I asked ALL the designers!

If you were a salad, what kind of dressing would you want poured all over you? Russian - it's sweet with a little bit of tang.  At least it is up here in Canada... I've found salad dressing names to be different between Canada and the USA.

If you were a car, what kind would you be?  Even though I love Nascar, I'm definitely not a car buff. I had to go searching for a car for me. The Corvette is what I would want to be.  In black, red or silver though.  Yellow?? for a car, really? 

Who would play YOU in the movie version of your life. Renée Zellweger - I just loved her as Bridget Jones.

What is the quilt you shared? The baby quilt was made for a friend's son. I loved working with the bright fabrics. More photos and instructions on how I made it here:  http://quiltinggallery.com/2011/09/08/the-making-of-a-baby-quilt-part-2/

[Katina]

I love, love, love Fall and PUMPKINS are the best reminder of all!!

[Cheryl]

My favorite season is fall and what better symbol than pumpkins in all shapes and sizes.

[Lisa Cox]

Ok, here's Saturday's comment. I love summertime. Greens remind me of summertime, all those gorgeous plants standing tall in the garden, the grasses waving in the breeze.

[Michele T]

I love summer - birds flying, playing and chirping!!

[Mhairi]

Strangely I love winter and autumn, so the thing that reminds me of these seasons is a cold wind swirling around my ankles.

[Deb]

I love spring...and I'd say the first daffodils and hyacinths poking up are good indications to me that my favorite season is almost here!

[Sharon S]

The sun of Summer.

[Lisa Cox]

My comment for the day....I love summertime and feathers remind me of it. My chickens tend to molt pretty good during the summer so the yard is always covered in fluffy little buff and lavender feathers.

[Linda McCoy]

The beautiful colored leaves makes fall my favorite season!

[Sherry]

I love the pumpkins in the Fall. We sometimes grow them in our garden. This blog hop has been fun. I love your designs.

[Lisa Cox]

Hmm, blues remind me of summertime, my favorite time of year. The blue of swimming pools, light reflecting off the water.

[trillium]

I cook butternut squash year-round, and it always reminds me of autumn, my favorite season. I love the summer applique pattern that has the echinaceas on it.

[Kim L]

hmmm...I love the apple blossoms of spring! I live in an orchard so I have 20 acres of white surrounding me for 2 weeks in the spring - it's incredible

[Wanda]

Green grass poking through the snow and buds on the trees remind me that spring is in the air. It is the rebirth and re-awaking.

[Linda P]

SPRING is my favorite time!!! That means my special day is right around the corner. I love a light dress and sandals... love tulips... and sunshine!!!

[Cindy Dailey]

My favorite season is fall. I love the color's, but with the flowering trees starting to bloom in my area...spring is sounding pretty good!

[lisa johnson]

I like summer. It is warm and I am not cold. Sunshine reminds me of summer.

[Margaret]

My favorite season has to be summer. I love camping although some of the best camping has been during the fall.

[Aggiequilter]

Spring is my very favorite season ... so nice but all too brief before our Texas heat hits! Daffodils always remind me most of Spring ... my mom had every kind of daffodil blooming in our yard, so beautiful.
Thanks for the blog fun and chance to win!

[Brenda]

I think my favorite season is fall, and what stands out most for me is the scent in the air -- an elusive crispness, stimulating, scent of woodsmoke or burning leaves, fallen leaves -- their dusty yet tantalizing aroma, a life-giving smell, as though all of the life in the dying plants around has been transferred to the air and signifies a new beginning rather than an end.

[Lisa Marie]

My favorite season is fall and I am reminded of it by Football, which I love.

[Sorchagirl]

I used to enjoy winter in the Midwest. We lived on a farm and before getting out of bed, I believe you could tell if it snowed over night--it was so quiet.

But now I enjoy seeing "winter" from afar since I have a view of snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains.

Thanks for the blog hop, Pat and the introduction to new designers.

[Tammy]

Dawn's Cardinal is so Christmasy, I love winter and everything about it!

Thanks for this bloghop contest, it introduces us to exciting designers that I never knew about before!!

[Lisa Cox]

I love summertime. The heat, the sun, the ability to not freeze my rear off anymore. LOL. So the sun,lemonade, and yellows and oranges, remind me most of my favorite time of year.

[Larry Dent]

Love all the Girls in the Garden Patterns
