It just so happens that I have a very sweet quilt to share with you today... my Sweetheart Quilt!
Quilt Details
Fabric is Oh, the Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss, Rainbow colorstory for Robert Kaufman
Pattern - Sweetheart - Found in the Spring 2013 Generation Q Magazine
Designed by me
Quilted by me
Started on 11/2/12
Finished on 11/6/12
Quilt measures - 40" x 46"
To make this quilt you need 9 fat quarters, background fabric & binding. I used the 9 fat quarters in this bundle and saved the panel for another project.
The Sweetheart Quilt pattern is in the Spring 2013 issue of Generation Q Magazine. It just started popping up in Quilt Shops a few days ago and will be on newsstands soon. The pattern uses my Hex N More Ruler & I also included templates in the magazine too.
I originally designed and made this quilt for Aliyah. It was supposed to be a present before her new baby brother arrived. You'll have to read the article in GenQ to find out how they ended up with the quilt!!
I couldn't resist photographing it with our Radio Flyer wagon. The wagon is forever a classic just like the book Oh, the Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss!! I love that book and look forward to giving this quilt to Aliyah.

My favorite is One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. I remember my Momma reading it to me when I was little. I passed that same book on to my kids, and now soon my first grand baby. This would be perfect to make for her.
ReplyDeleteI like Fox in Socks dont now why. I love you pattern. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham cause it is just weird. Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Oh, the places you go, because I am living in another country at the moment and this book helps me to think positive and get through the difficult days!
ReplyDeleteI love When A Little Bug Went Kachoo - my kids have all adored it, and we've read it hundreds of times :o)
ReplyDeleteI love all his books, I have such fond memories of them from when I was a kid, and my kids have a few of their books, and love to read them.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day Juile! Long time no speak, I hope all is well with you. And i hope you are feeling better.
Stacey
I love Go Dog Go! I love the line Do you like my hat? Just a funny book. Happy Valentines Day
ReplyDeleteI love The Cat in the Hat! I remember being able to compare the characters to my family. My little sister was damaging enough to be thing one and thing two, my older brother was the kids so easily convinced to wreak havoc, and I was like the fish, trying to no end to talk sense into them. Ha! Beautiful quilt. Email is: briw10@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is a toss up between The Lorax and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Both were great books with a positive message.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite has to be Horton Hears a Who, it is sort of sad... But as a kid, I loved the idea that there could be a whole world on a flower.
ReplyDeleteWow, such a hard choice they're all awesome. I'd probably have to go with How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I top my tree with a Grinch and am actually in the process of collecting Grinch ornaments to make a Grinch tree.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt - would love to make one of these. My favourite Dr Seuss book is Oh, the places you'll go, just because I think it gives children the idea they can do anything if they try.
ReplyDeletemary(at)emmens(dot)co(dot)uk
I love Green Eggs and Ham!
ReplyDeleteThe kids loved it when I made them
green eggs and ham after we read it.
Thanks for the giveaway!
The only Dr. Seuss book I have read for my kids is Hop on Pop, so I guess that will have to be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun thing is that I used black-on-white Dr. Seuss fabric for Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt 'Easy Street' this winter.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for comp, I like Fox in Socks.
Love your ruler, I am making a Baby Lotus at the mo, so easy and pretty.
Cindy Aus. :o)
My favorite is The Cat in the Hat because (many years ago) when I would read it to my son he would always ask me to read it again. That time with him snuggled on my lap was the best!
ReplyDeleteOh the place you'll go is a great a favorite book. Love the whole bundle of goodies.
ReplyDeleteFor today I will say The Foot Book. It was one of my daughter's favorites for some reason. We read it over and over and over... you get the picture ;) My choice tomorrow could be something different :)
ReplyDeleteI love The Sneeches and Other Stories. I can recite all 23 Daves would-be names.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! Happy Valentine's Day!
My favorite book is the Oh The Thinks You Can Think. Persoanlly I think it encourges creativity and imagination. Don't know what the experts say but that is my opinion. And those are both big things in my world. I encourage mychildren to be unique and creative and to learn to express themselves for who they are not what the world around them wants them to be. conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to go with Green Eggs and Ham, just because of the Sam I Am parts :-). Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Green Eggs & Ham simply because it reminds me of my children when they wee little. I would read the book and they would quote it from memory. Such fun. Thanks for a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely prize package! Thank you for the chance to win. My favorite book is one from when I was a child...One Fish, Two Fish. I could read that over and over!
ReplyDeleteAll of them bring back wonderful memories of the childhood of my children. I think they loved The Grinch best of all, and we never missed the showing of it at Christmas, now I read them to my great grandchildren..memories..thanks for the great giveaway. Love all your work, Julie..this Valentine quilt is adorable..
ReplyDeleteOh my! I absolutely love that quilt, it's precious! My favorite Dr. Seuss book is Horton Hears A Who, because it reminds children that they're important and can make a difference no matter how great or small.
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham - just has a nice ring to it when you read it! And what a nice surprise to wake up to on Valentine's - great quilt pattern! Happy Valentine's Day to you, and hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr. Seuss book has always been The Grinch, because do the message and my favorite non-Christmas book would be One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish simply because of how it rolls off the tongue.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!! I love your quilt. I have two favorite Dr. Seuss books. One is Oh, The Places You'll Go, because my daughter requested that me & her dad/my DH write in it for her college graduation. The second is Horton Hears a Who, because when I was in early elementary school, my parents signed me up for a French class. To get in, we had to remember to say, "Bonjour Mademoiselle Whatever Your Name Is". I could never remember that, so went into the room with all the Dr. Seuss books, and Horton was a favorite read.
ReplyDeleteGreen Ham and Eggs Definetly. I have fun reading this to my Grandkids. We laugh and have fun together with this story. I love the quilt pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, because my sisters used to read it to me when I was little. abengel(at)zoominternet(dot)net
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit it, but I don't care for Dr. Seuss. I do, however, love this quilt kit giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI was a school librarian for seven years, so it is very hard to narrow down to one choice. If forced - I would say The Sneetches because it is a hilarious book, but gives such an important message about not judging by outside appearance. A very good book to use to fight the "us" and "them" mentality - but all wrapped up in fun! thanks for the amazing giveaway!! Hope you are on the mend!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your heart quilt! I appreciate heart quilts that aren't too heart-y. My favorite is The Cat in The Hat Comes Back. Mostly because I discovered this week that my not-quite-2-year-old can recite it in its entirety. "Cat! You get out! There is work to be done!"
ReplyDeleteOne fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is my favorite because I read every day to my grandson! He loves pointing to the different sayings! Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite it is Green Eggs & Ham. I have a video of my son trying to read it when he was 3, cutest thing ever. It seems to have been a favorite for all three of my kids too.
ReplyDeleteI love If I Ran The Circus, the imagination that must have been behind the story, all the crazy whimsical characters! And I really love how it reads in verse!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I have to choose. Ok my favourite would have to be the Lorax because who can resist a funny fluffy fellow that speaks for the trees. Beautiful quilt design.
ReplyDeleteI love The Lorax. I like the environmental message and it was one of the first books I remember going to the library and getting for me to read to myself. Love the quilt it is so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteThe most applicable to my life today is I Am Not Going To Get Up Today. I think it sums up a case of the Mondays well! The first one to pop into my head, though, was Yertle the Turtle. I always liked the message, even if I was guilty of disobeying it frequently.
ReplyDeleteHave to be Dr. Seuss' ABC Book. My daughter at age 2 could recite that book from memory and learned her ABC's on that book. She is now almost 21. It was by far her favorite which in turn has alot of memories for me. Beautiful quilt. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr Seuss book is "Go, Dog, Go!" because it was read to me as a child and I read it to my daughters and agin to their children. Now my grandchildren are reading it to me over and over. Hopefully, I'll get to repeat the process with my greats!
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham is my favorite because it's so silly
ReplyDeleteThe Cat in the Hat Came Back...it's my boys favourite. We've had many snuggly moments before bed reading it. Great memories. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the Cat in the Hat because it's the first Dr. Suess book I ever read and it brings back a lot of memories. I'm now reading it to my granddaughter. Thanks so much for the giveaway and for your fun blog!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore the Butter Battle book by Dr Suess! I love how it shows that tiny little differences separate us but if we just accept them instead of view them narrowly we can come together as one. manpha324 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little I loved The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham but now that I'm a mom and have read so many of his books over and over again it's hard to pick a favourite. One Fish, Two FIsh, Red Fish, Blue Fish is one that everyone in the family enjoys, so I'll go with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway. Lovely quilt.
My favorite is Hop on Pop, because it is the first book I ever read all by myself! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThat is so clever! I just love your quilts. You and Jenny Pedigo are on my SHOP NOW! list for when my UFOs are under better control. I can't wait. :D
ReplyDeleteI love The Cat in the Hat. Maybe because I have two cats :)
ReplyDeleteSusanne
Very cute baby quilt! My favorite Dr. Suess book is Green Eggs and Ham. It brings back many fond memories. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love The Lorax because he speaks for the trees. What a great way to teach kids to respect nature.
ReplyDeleteOne Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish because of the memory of reading it to my daughter all the time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Go Dog Go! My boys loved that one the most for me to read to them so I have lots of warm memories of time spent with them and that book.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt.I love the The Grinch,it`s bring me back to christmas time when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs & Ham - I used to read this to my grandsons on trips and after a while we all started speaking that way - too funny. Love the quilt and would love to win. Thanks for your beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteI have three littles so I read a lot of Dr. Seuss. I like Go Dog Go best, and don't like reading Fox in Socks much!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr. Seuss book is "Horton Hears a Who", because a person is a person no matter how small.
ReplyDeleteI love the book "on beyond zebra" about a big brother teaching his little brother about all the letters that come after z, and the animals who start with those letters.
ReplyDeleteWe had a very worn copy when I was little, but I've never seen it anywhere else.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Sarah
I have not read Dr Seuss books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
mystica123athotmaildotcom
I love all the Dr Seuss books, but especially One Fish, Two Fish, because it's the one that my son requested the most! thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteMy fav is green eggs and ham.I used to teach preschoolers and we would actually cook green eggs.The faces of those kids were priceless!
ReplyDeleteGreen eggs and Ham! I liked the repetition of it when I was younger and I always thought green eggs were funny.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I have a favorite but my little niece loves ducks so I will say I wish that I had duck feet.
ReplyDeleteAny one of the books that you have to read aloud to a little one for the first time is a hoot.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Green Eggs and Ham. I used to run a home daycare, and I would make Green eggs and ham for the kids each year. I read the book to the kids and did a whole theme on this for them. The kids really got into the book. If I am the lucky winner I would prefer the pastel.
ReplyDeleteEEk!...I never was a fan of Dr. Seuss...(shudder, gasp) I know, I know...but I would love to get my hands on that bundle!!! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is "My Book about Me" - my parents gave it to me when I was about 7 and I filled in all the blanks (all in one day) and kept the book. I kept looking back at it over the years, and made sure to add it to my baby registry when my son was born. He now has his own copy he has started to fill in - and loves to read and compare to mine.
ReplyDeleteI love The Places You'll Go since it can be associated with so many different events...birth, graduation, birthday. What a talented writer! Thanks for a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteOne fish, Two fish is my favorite book. My girls always wanted me to read that book to them. Thank you for the opportunity to win. Love your patterns!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr. Suess book is Fox in Socks because my daughter loved this book when she was young. We often read it multiple times in a single day.
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham because that was a favorite of my kids and I read it a lot. Thank you for the chance to win this great prize package. Congrats on the pattern in the magazine. Take care and God bless, Cory
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever quilt! My favorite Dr. Seuss book is The Sneetches because it teaches that being who you are is good enough, chasing the latest trend &trying to be like everyone else is pointless. Those sneetches learn that it's okay to be different & still get along. I think I also learned to be a careful consumer from that book.
ReplyDeleteI love all the Dr. Seuss books, as did my four daughters. My two and a half year old grandson's favourite is Hop n Pop, we read it together a lot! Thanks for the giveaway! Love your quilts, BTW!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be One Fish! Love the quilt!
ReplyDeleteOne fish, two fish because I could "read it" when I was 3!!
ReplyDeleteSpaladylori@abbnebraska.com
The Lorax - Dr. Suess was way ahead of his time with that one, I think. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr. Seuss book is Oh the Places You'll Go. This is the book that my daughter's 5th grade teacher read to her class when they had their promotion ceremony. I have always remembered the time she took to read it and the encouragement she gave the kids as they move up to middle school because middle school is a bit scary these days.
ReplyDeleteI love the cat in the hat - it was my son's favourite!
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of all the Dr. Seuss books but The Cat in the Hat is my favorite. I love your Sweetheart quilt pattern and the hexagonal shape of the entire quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Dr Seuss book is Green Eggs & Ham because it encourages us to try new things. I rarely make the same pattern twice, always want to try something new. Love your design!
ReplyDeleteIn The Sneetches there is a story about Mrs.McCave and her 23 sons all named Dave, that is the best. And I also love the movie The 5000 Fingers of Dr.T.
ReplyDeleteMine is green eggs and ham, my kids and now grand kids loved it
ReplyDeleteJust one favorite? That is difficult...i love the cat in the hat, but also the lorax, and green eggs and ham, and more! We're getting ready to celebrate dr. Seuss' birthday in my clssroon in a few weeks!

ReplyDeleteI love hop on pop! My dad read it to me as a child! I think it was his favorite too!
ReplyDeleteI just finished one of my favourite books (well reread it): THE SHADOW OF THE WIND by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
ReplyDeleteThe other favourite book I want to read but could not find my copy is A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY by John Irving.
Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can you? I read that book so much to my daughter when she was little, we had to buy a second one since the pages all fell out.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr Seuss book is Horton Hears a Who, like Horton I believe a person's a person no matter how small!Happy Valentine's Day, may your day be overflowing with LOVE!
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were little, we loved all of our Dr. Seuss books! Hop on Pop immediately popped into my mind as a favorite, though. The kids used to have great fun jumping on Daddy after reading it :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Lorax. I used to play the part of the Onceler at an Environmental Education camp in Ohio. We performed during campfire and loved getting the youth playing various parts as well.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading Green Eggs and Ham to my little sister as she used to giggle like crazy over the silliness.
ReplyDeleteGo Dog Go! is a current favorite at my house and it has been in the rotation for about a year. It was one of the first books that my daughter seemed to enjoy and she still does!
ReplyDeleteThe Lorax... I read this book so many times to my kids, I think I have it memorized.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt!
I like "The Cat in the Hat." It is so zany and crazy and I loved reading it with my children. Thanks for the opportunity to win your generous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway. I would love to have your pattern and ruler. My favorite book will always be Green Eggs and Ham. My son had it memorized and could read it to me. 3bakergirls@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity! My favorite is one fish two fish, because so many littles in our family have learned to read with that one. And I thinking reading is about the funnest thing ever! (besides quilting!)
ReplyDeleteOur family fav was green eggs and ham and once in awhile we would have to have green eggs and ham for breakfast. Dr. Seuss is a treasured friend at our house. Thanks for sharing your talents.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is The Sneetches :) because it highlights the fact that at the end of the day, all the differences that seem to divide people are arbitrary. We're all Sneetches, stars on our bellies or not!

ReplyDeleteThe cat in the hat, because my little sister loved it and wanted me to read it over and over! Then the Grinch made an impression. loved the books!

ReplyDeletejudieharron@yahoo.com
Oh! The Places You'll Go is my favorite book! I've been so excited for this fabric line to come out. I love this book because my parents gave it to me when I graduated from high school.

Love your blog and all the creativity you share with us.

ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham was my most favorite because the kids would laugh when it would rhyme..... Have a great Valentines Day. Happy Quilting Karen
My favorite Dr. Seuss book is "The Foot Book" because it was the first book my oldest son ever read to me all by himself!

ReplyDeleteI like the Cat and The Hat because it always seemed amazing that all those things could happen when your parents are not home. Thanks for the giveaway and congratulations on another wonderful pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt would be Green Eggs and Ham it is just the cutest story and the grands always want to hearit!
ReplyDeleteI like the Foot Book. I teach kindergarten and we have the children measure their parents feet and then graph to see whose is bigger. Then they bring it to school to share. They love doing this.
ReplyDeleteI really love them all, but I think my favorite is How the Grinch Stole Christmas
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE The Lorax. My husband and I took our oldest granddaughter to her first movie theater movie. I don't know why The Lorax touched me so deeply. Anything Lorax reminds me of that day with our grand daughter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance at this awesome prize!
Dr. Suess is my very favorite author of all time! It's a toss up between One Fish Two Fish and Green Eggs and Ham because I taught my sister to read with those books when she was four years old.
ReplyDeleteGotta go with Green Eggs and Ham. Cheers me up every time and gets me ready to face anything.
ReplyDeleteDr. Suess were my favorite books to read to my children - my favorite now is Horton Hears a Who, because I have a grandaughter that looks just like a Who from Whoville - adorable. I would love to win this giveaway - here's hoping....
ReplyDeleteI love all things Seuss!! My favorite book is Oh The Places You'll Go. I received a copy from one of my favorite teachers when I graduated and it made me think of all my dreams I wanted to achieve and I have since begun a kind of tradition where I gift a copy to graduates that I know and hope that they too will be inspired to live their dreams :)
ReplyDeleteI know we (my sister & I) had a ton of Dr. Seuss books when we were little but sadly I can only remember the most popular ones like; Cat in a Hat, Green Eggs and Ham...Sam I am! Guess I would have to Say Green eggs and Ham!
ReplyDeleteYertle the Turtle is my favorite. It reminds me to be appreciative for all the support I get.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many it's cruel to make me choose just ONE....but the "Grinch that Stole Christmas" will probably always be my true favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love if I Ran The Zoo. I love it for its out of the box thinking.
ReplyDeleteThe Cat in the Hat is my favorite because everyone wears a hat at some point in their life. deanie dot dreams at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI love Green Eggs and Ham! What a great new pattern. Thanks for the chance to win the kit!
ReplyDeletejoan.kruse@gmail.com
I think my favorite is Go Dog Go! mainly because of the way my parents each read it - with enthusiasm! I also loved the one where they keep asking "Do you like my hat?" I loved the illustrations. Ohh, I hope I win your great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHorton Hears a Who is my favorite. I just love the messages within. A person is a person, no matter how small...
ReplyDeleteGo Dog Go! because my dad read that book with enthusiasm. my siblings and i loved it!
ReplyDeleteFriends, Go Dog, Go! Is by PD Eastman, and not Dr. Seuss. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy fav Seuss is The Lorax. On so many levels. But mostly because Unless. Unless we do something about what we are passionate about, the world will never change or improve. :)
My favorite Dr. Seuss book is The Lorax. I like the "Unless" Unless someone cares a whole awful lot, it's not going to get better.
ReplyDeleteI love Dr. Seuss books so picking a favorite is difficult. Probably The Grinch though because it shows that kindness and faith can help one overcome evil.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr. Seuss book is Green Eggs and Ham. As a child I was an extremly picky eater and this book still reminds me that even if the new food doesn't look great it can still taste wonderful!!
ReplyDelete"A Great Day for Up" for it's reminder of one's endless possibilities.
ReplyDeleteLove the giveaway.
It's hard to choose, but I feel like The Lorax has such a great message that stands the test of time. And teaching kids about caring for the environment is so important. Thanks!
ReplyDelete"Oh the places YOU are Going" couldn't resist to wish you a Happy Valentines Day here.....You are SO special!
ReplyDeleteIf this quilt wasn't going to Aliyah, I'd put dibs in for it!
Love it & Love You!
Mom
What a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick just one favorite Dr. Seuss book but Wacky Wednesday would have to be near the top. Mainly because my kids used to literally lol when we read this book when they were toddlers and they loved to point out all of the "wacky" stuff. :)
I love Green Eggs and Ham! (My brother was a One Fish Two Fish Blue Fish fan, so I heard that one a lot two).
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric, so awesome! Crossing my fingers.
I adore the Cat in the Hat book because I love Thing One and Thing Two.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Green Eggs and Ham.
ReplyDeleteSam I am. I like it because my initals are SAM.
Shawn
I love "one fish two fish red fish blue fish". Because "every day here and there funny things are everywhere!" Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love "one fish two fish red fish blue fish". Because "every day here and there funny things are everywhere!" Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThey are all classics, but my favorite would have the be "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". That one is truly a classic! Thanks for the fantastic give-away!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose just one... I'll have to go with Green Eggs & Ham since it gets the most lines repeated around our house. Thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham because it was my first Dr. Seuss book :)
ReplyDeleteI like The Foot Book. I love all the different feet in it, with fuzzy fur feet being my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd it is not too long. Some of his books are TOO long.
When I was a kid, my sister's dance teacher had them do a dance to that book. She was "here come clown feet". My mom spray painted a pair of her old sneakers green for my sister to wear and clomp around in.
Good times. :)
I love "Oh the Places You'll Go!"
ReplyDeleteOh the Places you'll go is my favorite too-I read it to my son all the time!
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham, because it is the one I am most familiar with. My girls were not big Dr. Seuss fans....
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so cute, and I may have a new grandbaby soon.... so it would be perfect!
Thanks for the chance.
My favorite is Bartholemew and the Oobleck. I remember reading it a bunch as a child and I always thought it was so fun. I also like it because it isn't one of the most well known Dr. Suess books.
ReplyDeleteI love all of Dr. Seuss, but Green Eggs and Ham and How the Grinch Stole Christmas are my most favorites!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFox in Socks, of course! (It's one of the more difficult ones, though - good tongue workout, haha)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?"
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to read it to me all the time when I was little. Now I've got twin one year olds and this book is the one that holds their attention the longest. They love hearing all the different sounds.
Love that pattern. My fave Dr Seuss is The Cat in the Hat. My children both loved it and it reminds me so much of snuggled up storytimes.
ReplyDeletehappy.me@tiscali.co.uk
One of my favorites is "Hop on Pop" because my son learned to read with it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is The Cat in the Hat, because it was the first one I ever read. I LOVED the blue cover, and the red. I don't know why, but I just was aesthetically drawn to that book. I read it so many times, I had it memorized. I LOVE that book!
ReplyDeleteI love One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, it was one of the first books that both my daughters could read on their own.
ReplyDeletemy favorite is green eggs and ham.
ReplyDeleteThe Lorax! I thneed is a thing that EVERYONE needs!
ReplyDeletemy favorite would be Cat in the Hat...I remember my daughter having that book and me reading it to her....great memories....thanks for the giveaway...love the quilt...
ReplyDeleteSuch a hard choice, but as a child I loved the Lorax. It was one of the few books that I could listen to over and over.
ReplyDeleteGreen Eggs and Ham is my favorite. It reminds of together time I had reading it to my now grown sons. Would love to win this give away!

ReplyDeleteLovely blog! Just found it today in my hunt for good quilting blogs.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Dr. Seuss book will always be The Sneetches & Other Stories. The moral of The Sneetches is very important for children to learn - we are all equal. In the same book is The Zax which is a great humorous, cautionary tale about being too stubborn. In What Was I Scared Of we're all reminded that what looks different isn't necessarily bad or scary. These stories have the playful language and whimsical illustrations that make us all love Dr. Seuss and messages that never go out of style. My mom read them to me countless times over the years and I, of course, read them to my kids. :)
The cat in the hat
ReplyDelete(and he always comes back!)
My fave Dr. Seuss book is Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? I've read it to my oldest son repeatedly, and each time he starts giggling and squealing, and I enjoy seeing him so happy.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr. Seuss book is Go, Dogs, Go because it is all about the dog party. One of my three girls had it memorized and almost convinced us she could read at a very young age.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY VALENTINES DAY JULIE!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is 'The Cat In The Hat",as it was the first I read to my children!

The Lorax, because the kids love it and it teaches them about caring for the earth
ReplyDeleteDr Seuss is not a book which is read here in the Netherlands so I can't tell you what my favorite Dr Seuss is. thanks for the chance to win :-)
ReplyDeleteI really love Horton Hears A Who, just because I remember reading it to my children, and now my grandkids!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is still The Cat in the Hat! I love the rhymes. Making this would be lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be Go Dog Go because they wear party hats. My girls are teenagers now, but we all still say," do you like my party hat?" And giggle. Memories.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr. Seuss book is the Lorax. I live in BC, Canada and forestry/logging is a HUGE industry here. To me, it hit close to home that we have to respect the land and what it can give us. Look after the land and it will look after us.

I remember Green Eggs and Ham from when I was a kid, but my favorite is the Grinch because of Max, his dog.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Dr. Seuss book is Green Eggs and Ham. That was my precious son Ethan's favorite book, and between my husband and I, we must have read it over 100 times. Ethan passed away two years ago, and so, when I think of that book, it brings a smile to my face. :)
Thank you for this giveaway! I love the quilt! (and the ruler too)
I love Green Eggs & Ham because I love to play trucks on my children. And them back on me. We will also say "I'm not touching you." While holding your finger just an inch away.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is "Green Eggs and Ham" because I enjoyed the rhymes while reading it to my children and now to my grandchildren. P.S. Luv that quilt, so cute!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Oh the Places You'll Go. I love it because it is great for any graduation from kindergarden to college.
ReplyDeleteI love One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. It was my favorite growing up and now I read it to my grandkids. johncathyg@msn.com
ReplyDeleteI love Green Eggs and Ham! It reminds me of my childhood when my mom would read to us.

I love The Sneeches. As an adult it is because it teaches children that you don't always have to try to be like everyone else. As a kid...just loved hearing the phrase "Star bellied Sneetches had bellies with stars. Plain bellied Sneetches had none upon thars."
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Green Eggs and Ham. I had it as a recording when I was a child and I loved the rythm of it!
ReplyDelete"The Cat in the Hat". I had a copy as a child and read it over and over again. I just love the characters and the rhyming. Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI probably read Green Eggs and Ham to my son a million times. Now he's reading it to his son. Love the pattern - like all your others!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourites is 'If I Ran the Zoo'. I can't imagine the number of times I've read Dr. Seuss books since I had five boys who always loved to be read to. This book was one that they enjoyed when they were 'too old' for the younger Seuss favourites like 'Cat in the Hat' and 'Green Eggs and Ham'.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Seuss book is Oh The Places We Will Go! I gave this book to my son on his high school graduation day. I always taught him to be positive and keep pushing forward no matter what. I am happy to say he still has his copy of this book and now reads it to his students to encourage them. What a blast it would be to win this fabric and make him a quilt for his classroom!
