I'm a lurker! Let's see...what to tell you about myself. I'm going to be 50 next month. My parents said I'd never see 30, so this is a major accomplishment for me. How's that? I'd love to be included in your drawing! Thanks, Regina

I have 2 fabric collections debuting at Quilt Market in Houston later this month. I don't know how to sew and dearly wish I did. As a matter of fact, I am buying a sewing machine next week and LEARNING because I love fabric and want to play with it!!!

Something special about me? Well, here's a really special site in my life now - I work at a driver school as a secretary, but I CAN'T drive... So it's difficult sometimes to blink astutely:)))

Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love the color red.
Posted by: Coleen O'Kane | October 10, 2008 at 12:28 AM
Something nobody knows.....
How about some unknown Halloween / family trivia....well, the rival families (so I've been taught) in salem were the Putnam's and Porter's. Happen to be family names (my great grandparents of my dad's side). Also, there is a Sarah Putnam witch house - guess what my maiden name is....yup, that's it alright.
I have finally gotten back in to sewing (quilting actually) and am keeping my fingers crossed that I might win (time to liven up my stash).
Posted by: Sara | October 10, 2008 at 12:33 PM
I am a quilter in my dreams. I have made one baby quilt top, but have yet to make a sandwich. Plus lots of other quilty ideas buzzing in my head. Is being able to put your feet behind your head special? Believe it or not it's kind of comfortable.

I found your blog through the giveaway link. Great giveaway!

Hmmm...something special about me....I am the mom of 5 beautiful children, soon to be six. I love to make boutique clothes for my DD...and if you would have asked me just one year ago today if I could sew a boutique outfit or even sew a hem I would have laughed!! Then a friend at church said she would help me learn....and now DD does not even get to go out in public in store bought clothes anymore!! It has become an obsession!!
Posted by: Pam | October 10, 2008 at 06:05 PM

Hello,
I'm Alice. My daughter told me about your blog. Let's see, something special, I love knitting and can knit pretty well anything without a pattern. Quilting is more of a challenge, but I am learning and do enjoy the process.

Hello,
I am a regular at your blog and I just love it! I'm not sure if this is particularly special, but maybe odd? LOL I can't just sit and watch tv without stitching at the same time! My hands always have to be busy with something.
Thanks for the chance to win!

I love the idea of being a "quiet lurker peep" - peeping quietly as I lurk! LOL What is a peep other than a chicken sound?
BTW, love batiks,
hugz,

Great giveaway! I am addicted to bags and fabric.

I named my three chickens Charlotte, Anne, and Emily after the Bronte sisters. Charlotte, the chicken, is a bit evil.

As an unapologetic fabriholic I would LOVE to win these fat quarters...you can really never have too much fabric, right? I love your blog - just found it this morning - doing some well-worthwhile-time-surfing! I'm a 30 year quilter - one little hobby that has seen me through the good, bad and the ugly!
Posted by: Nan | October 12, 2008 at 02:01 PM
You're right...your prizes are awesome!
Something about me? I'm a new quilter and I watch the Halloween Charlie Brown cartoon every year!
Posted by: Jackie | October 12, 2008 at 05:08 PM
I just discovered your blog and had to comment on your giveaway. Those fabrics are yummy and so cheerful compared to the quilt I have been working on. I'm making a signature quilt for a friend dying from bone cancer caused by agent orange in Vietnam. The written tributes to my friend are so beautiful but the project is filling me with sadness. I needed cheering up and this blog helped. Best wishes.

I would love to win the beautiful fabric!!Thanks for the chance to win!

I am a self-taught quilter, and am hesitant to machine quilt the quilt I'm working on right now. Count me in on your very generous drawing!

Something most people dont know, Id love to be a professional photographer.
Posted by: Veronica | October 13, 2008 at 11:23 AM
What fabulous fabrics!! I have a numbers thing in my immediate family too. My Mom was 20 when I was born, my Dad was 25, I had my first child at 30 and my second just shy of 35. And yes, I rely on these FAR too often to calculate ages! a.simple.life@live.com

I am a first time poster to Cherry House Quilts but I read it all the time. The Fall into Fall Contest lured me out of lurkdom!
Something about me, 99.95% of the quilts I make have the color blue in them :) I love blue and it makes me happy to use blue fabrics. People that have not seen my work assume it all looks alike but it doesn't and sometimes there is just a hit of blue in one of many fabrics in a piece.

I'm a newbie, I live in Florida and just started quilting a couple of years ago. Something about me: Well, I was a extoic dancer for almost 10 years, before I got RA.

Wow - what a generous giveaway! Gorgeous fabrics - and I would LOVE to win them! Something about me? I'm married to a rocket scientist - need I say more?
