I have joined the Fig Tree Club at The Quilt Shoppe and cant wait to get my package!

Hi there! I follow your blog-in my favorites! Thank you!

Just a note to say that FALL is my favorite season. Love sweaters and being cozy under a quilt! I also love the browns, oranges, and reds in the trees!
Thanks~Amy
100 posts? Way to go! I'm with you, my favourite season is fall - those clear crisp days - sunny, blue, blue skies, and those leaves! Heaven. Spring comes a close second with all the variations you get of green. Fabulous giveaway - thanks!

Congratulations on your hundredth post, Julie! That's a very nice bunch of goodies you're giving away to celebrate. Summer is my favorite season. No need to wear heavy clothing, no need to worry about keeping warm, etc.
I am a follower.
Fall is my absolute favorite season...the chill in the air, the colors, the skies, the harvest, Thanksgiving...and I love the flavors of autumn: root veggies and squashes!
I was saying to my friend the other day each season has something going for it
Spring because of the fresh light colours & the rebirth
Summer warm days with fun to be had by all
Autumn the rich colours as the season changes
Winter well there Christmas that good enough on it own lol
Pleast enter me for your give-away
Hugs Janice
I've been following you anonymously for a while now - your blog is full of great ideas!
Hummmm... my favorite season. Not really sure, we have lived in many places that don't really have 'seasons' like we do home in the South. I would have to say that fall is my favorite with school starting and football season and the leaves changing color. The weather is just perfect to me - not too hot, not too cold. The holidays are around the corner. It's all just.... wonderful.

AND I blogged love for your 100th blog.
Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity and congratulations on 100 posts.
I'm a fall girl, too. I think it because of the great colors, but the cooler weather is certainly nice.
I'm following you now!
I blogged about your giveaway:
http://dottyjanedesigns.blogspot.com/2009/11/did-i-ever-mention-that-i-love.html
I'm a follower! I love fall the most. I love the crispness in the air, the colors, the smells, everything! My home is decorated in fall colors for the most part too.
Guess I'm different- I like winter and we do have some cold ones. It gives me lots of time to quilt and play cards with friends. It is usually pretty white outside and I can stay where its warm. I would love to win your give away.
Congrats on 100 posts!
I love all the bright fresh colors of spring but I love the browns and reds of fall too :)
I love spring with all the newness that comes with it, everything is fresh and bright again after a long winter! I have posted about your giveaway on my blog and I have followed you anonymously for many months. Thanks for putting on such a great giveaway and keep up the wonderful posts. - Marlene

thanks for chance #2!
For #3 I'm a follower now too:)!!! Great giveaway, Julie. Thanks for sharing the market goodies.
spring is good cuz there's gonna be flowers ... but fall is better cuz i don't have to mow any more
fall, then winter, then spring, and then summer ... those are my favorites (in that order) because fall is pretty and because I'd rather be cold than hot
Wow, winnig this giveaway would be the closest I ever come to making it to Houson! Thanks for the chance.
Ooo! Goody!
I think fall is my favorite season, but I do love spring - especially after a LONG winter. It's so full of hope and nothing like just getting out of the house and sitting in the sunshine again.
I'm a follower!
Me again...just blogged about your giveaway here http://poppyprintcreates.blogspot.com/2009/11/departure-time-t-minus-75-minutes.html
Cheers!
My favorite season is fall, cool nights, pleasant days. However, here in south central Alabama we only really have 2 seasons, hot and hotter. I have known it to be 80 degrees on Christmas day. But the "week" of autumn we do have I love.
I love spring..it's just so happy!
Great giveaway! Summer is my favorite season because I love the heat of the sun.
I am adding your blog giveaway to my sidebar!
hi what a fab giveaway!!
i love spring - the colours,the breeze and the knowledge that summer isn't far behind
gillwatson@mailbox.co.uk
I honestly don't have a favorite season...each has it's advantage and I try to make the most of each.
You are on my blogroll and I follow you there.
I'm a follower and somewhat undecided as to my favorite season. Although I love the hope, beauty and anticipation of spring, I do dearly love the heat, energy and exuberance of summer! Congrats on your 100th post - a great milestone to reach!
Tracy
What a special give away. My favorite is spring. Love to garden and it is so pretty then.
Lizzie
Both spring and fall are my favorites! I love spring, planting the garden and watching everything turn green! But I love the fall leaves, chilly air and halloween.
tweeted you @craftytammie, and am following you on twitter now too!
I think my fav season is fall but really I get excited about each season change.
You are in my google reader and I love your blog and your creativity!

Fall is my all time favorite season!! The colors, the crispness in the air, the fact that you can start layering clothes again, I love everything about Fall...well, not everything actually because my poor hubby does get horrible allergies in the Fall, but other than that, it is the best!!
BTW-Congrats on your 100th post!!
I am now following your blog!

I love summer because of the bright colors--and here in Texas, it's too hot to do much outside, so it's great patchworking time!

I love all seasons but I seem to really enjoy the fall....cooler yet sunny weather, harvesting yummies from my garden and persmission the colder weather gives me to sit inside and bind a quilt!
I am a still a faithful follower!
I think this gives me 2 chances!!!
I'm a follower....and wishy washy me, I LOVE all the seasons!!! Each one just has a gift ( beach time, crisp air, winter holidays and the hope of Spring)....yep, love them all. XXX Annie
Spring is not my favorite, although I do love bulbs coming up! I am a fall girl, I love the winding down, dreamy lazy days of gleaning and cleaning up the outdoors and bundling up inside when it gets chilly!
Hello, I am now a follower of your blog. Have a great day!!
silly me....here is my second entry to say I am a follower. BTW...still sticking with MY story that I love ALL the seasons!!! XX Annie
i'm a fall girl myself, it used to be spring until i moved to southwest florida - now i miss fall more than anything in the world. my mom just mailed me leaves from indiana!
I love spring... especially tulips!
I think that's why I loved fresh by Deb Strain last year.

I have to say I love winter, I am just not a summer person at all except that i love to swim but in winter I can always be the right temperature and I don't feel sweaty all the time.
I have some really nice plants that liven up my winter so I don't miss the flowers too much.
100 posts, wow, congratulations. My favorite season is summer, I love the warm sun, fresh air and all the flowers in bloom. Spring is a close second.
Spring is my favorite season now that I live in a place with a real winter, with months of dreary muddy, rainy, snowy weather. I am so happy to see the green buds finally appear on the trees and the flowers make their debut.
And I would love to win this giveaway!
I tend to prefer fall personally but I have to say that after having had a 1.5year old in the house all winter last spring was a welcome relief! Spring is definitely in the running for top spot now!
Congrats on 100th post.
My favorite season, in recent years is LATE spring. Early spring here in New England is sometimes muddy, with dirt snow scattered around. Late spring, getting warmer, my flower garden is in the early stages, lots to look forward to.
Thanks for the opportunity, keeping my fingers crossed.
I am a spring person. I love fall too, but spring is about birth, re-birth, and beginnings. The cold starts to recede, and the sun warms both the earth and my spirits.
yes I am certainly a Spring kind of person.
I am a follower.
Yes I blogged it (but I don't twitter, so I can't do that one)

Hi, I learned about your 100th post give away on Pat Sloan's Mash up lists. I love the goodies you have in the tote. I marked your blog on my favs. I think I might start a blog. I like to write also. Hope I win and here is to your next 100.

thanks!
and i became a follower
and i blogged about your giveaway
thanks!
Fall is refreshing with its temperatures and colors, but I'm a spring nut. After the drab winter doldrums, Spring is like a shot of B12.
fist i want to say that i like your blog. and second i like the spring and fall season. i like to see the color changes of the leaves. i added my to your list. i tried to post you to my blog and it didn't work.
Spring is definitely my favorite season, probably because winter is my least favorite and spring arriving always feels like being delivered from the clutches of the executioner. Did I mention that I DON'T like winter? Anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed to win this lovely and generous prize.
I'm a new follower. Here's hoping that second entry will be the winner!
What a cute giveaway! I love fall the best. :)
I now follow you! :)
Well, Fall used to be my favorite season because here in California is was just a tad chilly, but since I have a 2yr old now, its not easy totting her around in the chill. Now I would say that I look forward to spring because the weather is better to go to the park in, and after spending the winter in doors with a toddler what could be better! lol!!
Check my blog later and I will blog about the giveaway! No followers, but ill still do it!!!

Love your blog... pls enter me into your drawing. I am a Fall person..then Spring.. both seasons are inspiration for quilt colors and designs.
jleibfried@aol.com
Autumn is my favorite season. I love everything about it...the colors and ways a tree becomes a flower in this season, the smells of autumn in the air, the chill that bites your cheeks as you go outdoors, a warm fire on a gray and rainy day, a hot cup of homemade cocoa with a generous topping of whipped cream, acorns and squirrels, etc, etc, etc....
Congratulations on 100 posts!
Hugs ~

What is my favorite season. I like them all but it is a toss up between spring and fall. I love the colors of fall and the crip mornings. I love the smell of spring and seeing the crocuses popping their heads up after the long winter.
My favorite season is fall. I live in the south, so I LOVE when it finally starts to cool off. I do love the flowers of spring, but with it comes allergies and my family has plenty of them!

This makes my fourth comment. ( one of these days I''ll have to start my own blog so that I can 'post' as well )
I have signed up for the fig tree club and can't wait to receive my first project.
I'm a fall girl too, I love the cooling off after a blistering hot summer (which I hate). But Spring is my 2nd favorite season with all the new flowers and farm babies.
Thanks for entering me in the drawing.
What a great giveaway! I am definitely a "fall" girl; I love the colours, the crispness in the air and the golden wheat fields! But I could definitely learn to love spring! Erica
What a lovely giveaway.. I love summer, swimming with the grandkids when they can come and just all the wonderful gardening. Fall is also a beautiful time. Micki sent me your way and she is one of my all time favs.. Of course I would love the gifts but am going to be a follower of yours too,,

I just followed your blog on bloglines. I'm a fall girl just like you :)
Spring is my favorite because just when life seems like iy will be dreary and brown forever, a daffodil appears and there is hope!
I love Winter the best - the cold snap to the air, the holidays, all of the delicious food, the smell of pine and candles. Spring is my second favorite, since everything is coming back to life again.

Spring is the best... especially as the trees on our mountain fill out with leaves!

Oh, I love this giveway--I love this bag and the fabric...Spring is my favorite time of the year with Fall being a close second! I am not a big fan of Winter!
I have become a follower!
My favourite season - it has to be spring. Everything is all green and fresh. Flowers start appearing and people start cutting their grass which makes me think summer is finally on route. Plus I got married in spring :)
Congratulations on your 100th post! Yay!
I do love Spring... it only means the weather is going to get warmer! And I love warm weather!
I also wanted to let you know, I have just become a follower of your blog! :o)
Please enter me in your give-a-way, it is wonderful! Kerrie
Spring is my second most favorite season - after sutumn. I love the cooler weather and the changing colors. But I look forward to spring every year for the green grass and daffodils.
I really do love Spring... First - it has my birthday. Second - there's Spring Break (ok - I'm way to old to actually take part in Spring Break, but I love the idea of it). Third - I appreciate the few beautiful days we get in the Spring before the HOT Summer arrives.
Thanks for reminding me!! My favorite season is Fall!! I love the brilliant colors and the crisp air, Apples, pumpkins and leaves. I always get Fall Fever! Kerrie
Well I have to admit that fall is my favorite season. However, it probably has something to do with living in Houston and the fact that by the time spring gets really pretty it's hot as hades outside.
Thanks so much for the chance to win!!! Love your work....
I love spring and all of the flowers and gardens that come with it. Congrats on 100 posts and thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Just come across your blog, and I love it! My favourite season is spring - the time for making new plans, the feeling that his year is going to be great - and of course the improving weather.
Congratulations on your 100th post and thanks for offering such a lovely giveaway.
I live in Sri Lanka where we dont have seasons the way you do. A rainy season and a dry season is about all we could muster. Fall sounds and looks wonderful from whatever I see from images. I look at images of trees changing color and think how glorious it must look when its all massed together.
WOW! I would love to win!!! I like spring kinda...lol, but I do love the colors of spring! Autumn is my favorite season, I love the cold breeze! LOVE winter as well! Spring is pretty in pictures, but in real life its wet and mud all over my floors and in my kids' hair....eeeuw.lol
OH! I am following you...
Hi Julie...congrats on your 100 posts!! I hope this are the first 100 of many more...Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us...

WOW!!! 400 comments!! holy cow!!
well i would have to say that fall is my favorite season, i love the crispiness in the air at night, and the baking starts at home, night air filled with the scent of breads and pies. the crunch of leaves underfoot.
but i also like spring. i love the flowers and the green and the fresh air and cool breezes and promises of warm days ahead.
Greetings from Albany, Western Australia. I love Fall too; pity all the trees here are evergreen. I just love the rich colours. Sam
I think Spring is my favorite season. Everything seems to be so fresh and new. Congratulations on your 100th post. Thanks for including me in your giveaway. Would be great to win all the "goodies".
Congrats on your 100th post!
Definitely Fall for me - the crunch of leaves under your feet, the crisp chill in the air (though not this week around here!) and the anticipation of the coming holiday season. So fun!
I love spring mostly because I love gardening and love to clean things up from the winter. It's a season of newness of life and planting. Congratulations on your 100th post!! Please enter me in your giveaway.
