Please enter me in the Pattern Bundle! My favorite pattern is Chopsticks. I am waiting for the perfect fabric collection to make it. Maybe I'll find one after spring market.
The pattern I most want is the Toes - block of the month, love them! I'd like the fabric bundle. Thanks
My favorite is Tiny Dancer because I like how the blocks show movement. I prefer the pattern bundle.
I love the tiny dancer pattern because I love geometrics! I would love the fabric bundle but I would like the patterns too! babyfickas at gmail dot com
I love how hexagons and triangles make stars in candy dish! It's a really hard choice, but I'd love to win fabric. Gratzy on your blogiversary! :)
I like the patterns Tiny Dancer and Ballerina (can't decide between the two). I would like to be entered in the fabric giveaway.

I like Traffic because I like working with jelly roll strips. I'd like the fabrics. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
Congratulations! I have always loved your Fast Forward and also Hugs & Kisses. Love the movement I see. Bundle #1 is fine with me but will take either one. Thanks for your inspiration and keep up the good work. Don't know how you keep up with what's going on in your head.
Plaid Parade is my favorite! It reminds me of the crazy argyle socks I love! The fabric bundle looks wonderful.
I really like Plaid Parade. It sorta reminds me of an old fashioned sweater(warm and snuggly). I would like to win the pattern bundle. I have been dying to try hexagons and the ruler is an added bonus. Thanks for the chance. poladydwd@yahoo.com
Ooh, I'd love the fabric bundle!
I like the Wonton Pattern.
I'd love to win the fabric.
Thanks,

Hi Julie, I am a no-reply, so here is my email, carli the quilter (at) gmail (dot) com.
I bought your hexi ruler and have in mind to do your Sand in the toes quilt because its reminiscent of the 1000 Pyrimids but modern!
My preference would the fabric bundle! Thanks for the chance and have a great weekend!
Fabric giveaway, please (already have the ruler and book). I must say I love the Taffy pattern. I have made it before, and it is great for showcasing a large print. I will be making my second Taffy quilt soon with a large spirograph-type print. I wish you continued success in the future!
My favorite pattern so far is Candy Dish. I love the pillows I've made. I hope to try Toes in the Sand soon. I've also used the Hex N More ruler to start a triangle quilt. I love the ruler
I would love to win the pattern bundle. My favorite pattern is Snack Time because they remind me of lifesavers. Thanks for the chance to win.
I'd love to win the fabric bundle. My favorite pattern of yours is unwind.
I love Northern Lights , the movement is incredible. ,Northern Lights are so beautiful!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a pattern bundle!
I love love love unwind! I love it because it is so versatile! I am thinking I would love the pattern bundle!
My favorite pattern is Science Fair! I love the random placement of the hexagons and the hexagon edge on the ends! I would love to win the fabric bundle :)
Thanks, and Congratulations!

I own and love the Chopsticks pattern. I also like the Traffic and Snack Time patterns. I would love to win either thing, but if I had to choose I would choose patterns because that ruler is so versatile!
I just made Snack Time , love the pattern and the ruler. I would love the fabric bundle as I just ordered two more of your patterns.
I think all your patterns are simply wonderful. I'm currently trying out Chopsticks, and love it because it's triangles made for beginners - super easy and fun!

congrats on 4 great blogging years
Enter me in the pattern bundle, I'd love to make some more!
I like the abstract shapes in Northern Lights.
Please enter me in the fabric draw.
I love the pattern tiny dancer because it reminds me of my daughter Emily who started ballet when she was 4.She is now 16 and still the tiniest dancer.I love the shapes in the pattern and the way it seems to move.I would prefer to receive the pattern bundle.Thank you
LORI KINDNESS
Your patterns are very well written. I am doing Hugs and Kisses and love how fast it is going. I would like to be in the pattern giveaway. Thanks!
first of all, congrats and thank you for your creativity
I'd love to get the pattern bundle
and my fave, well, well that a good question, I think it's toes in the sand because of the grat variety of patterns
I love the movement of Tiny Dancer so that is my favorite,but Toes in the Sand is almost a tie because of the amazing variety that is possible. Congratulations on the blog. I have learned so much from your hard work.
I would love to win the fabric bundle! I'm midway through my favorite pattern, Science Fair (love the hexagons!), and I can't wait to see the finished product. And then move on to my next favorite, Snack Time... :)
I would love to win the fabric bundle! I'm midway through my favorite pattern, Science Fair (love the hexagons!), and I can't wait to see the finished product. And then move on to my next favorite, Snack Time... :)
I love Toes in the Sand - it makes me think of mountains! Thanks for the chance to win. I'd have to go for the fabric - a great collection!
I'd love the fabric bundle!:) my favourite of your pattern is snack time cos it's looks fun!
Congrats on four years! I love your science fair and fast forward since I have a science background.
I had so much fun in your class in Portland in March. Finished my Northern Lights before the movers cme to box everything up. I just found the top the other day but have yet to ind my Hex n more ruler......I guess the fabric bundle would be my choice since I bought several of your patterns in Portland.....congrats on 4years. Here's to the next four!
Congratulations Julie! Thanks for sharing your talents with us for the last 4 years! Some of my favorite patterns are toes in the sand, snack time, and ballerina. They're favorites because they're on my to-make list! I'd like the fabric bundle most... I think. But, either would be amazing to win! Congrats again!
I love Science Fair. I like how it is visually interesting, but doesn't look like it would be super difficult to make. I would love to win the fabric bundle.
I love Unwind because of the movement in the quilt and the different looks you can achieve just by changing what types of fabric you can use. Just... love it. I'd love the fabric pack!
I bought the hex and more ruler in January when I bought the candy dish pattern. I really enjoyed making the pillows and couple weeks ago I bought toes in the sand, lotus, and science fair so I can continue to use the ruler.
I'd love to win the fabric bundle.
You once posted a quilt called Raspberry Dessert. It's still my favorite. I also like 3-in-a-box and Dance floor. I like the interplay of the squares and the variety it gives to the eye without being visually overwhelming.
Fabric bundle.
Congrats on 4 years! My favorite pattern is probably Plaid Parade (or maybe Yummy, so hard to pick just one). I love the way the thin diagonal lines create an argyle effect.
Please enter me in the FARBRIC giveaway. Thanks!

May I win the fabric bundle? I recently purchased the Hex and More Ruler, took the "Candy Dish" pattern and had two pillows done in 2 nites, took them to a quilt meeting and received a lot of lovely comments. Now I am looking at the wedge shape and plan making a large star flower from it. Keep up the good work. Kathy
My favorite pattern is tiny dancer because I love how it looks with the edge not squared off. I would like to be entered into the fabric giveaway please. Thanks for the chance to win!!
My favorite pattern is Ballerina. It is my favorite because it will be my first quilt. My goal is to start cutting out pieces next week! For someone who has always wondered "could I make a quilt like my mother...or even one day as complicated as my great-grandmother's old quilts", the simplicity of this pattern and its size give me confidence!
I would like the pattern bundle. :)
heatherb1978@gmail.com
I really love Lotus and Tiny Dancer. I wish I could buy your patterns via PDF file. I would like to be entered in the pattern giveaway. Thanks!!!!
I love your pattern snakc time, it is modern, bright and cheerful. A great quilt to snuggle in on a rainy day. I would like to win the fabric bundle.
Thanks
Amy
My favorite is Northern Lights. I love the way the shapes fit together, and the gradation of color is great.
I would prefer the pattern bundle.
Congrats on four years!
Fast Forward is my favorite pattern because it is the first one I used from you when I had just started quilting. And I've used it to make a donation to the Seattle Brain Cancer Walk. I'd love to get a FABRIC bundle to make another!
My favorite is Chopsticks because the triangle design is so bold and unusual (although I love Science Fair because it is geeky in the best sense of the word)...
Pattern bundle please.
Congrats on the blog-iversary!

Congratulations!! great work. My fav is chopsticks and Lotus. not sure why they just visually please me.. hehe maybe I should work with triangles more. I would love both prizes but am in Australia so PDF me!!... thanks for the inspirations!!
Yes, congratulations on your 4 year anniversary! Do I have to pick just one pattern? That's tough! I do love Tiny Dancer because I just got your Hex ruler and am dying to use it! But I also love Carnival. I would prefer the pattern bundle. Thank you! Keep blogging!
I love your Tiny Dancer pattern, because it looks so much more complicated than it is. I'd love to have a chance to win your patterns.
If I have to chose a hex pattern. I would chose "Tiny Dancer" pattern because I think of tiny feet spinning round when I see the pattern.I would love the patterns bundle.
Hi Julie! Hope you have lots of fun at market. My favorite of your patterns is Tiny Dancer because of the movement.
The pattern bundle would be awesome! My favorite is Ballerina!
Congratulations Julie! "Three in a Row" looks like a great pattern. The squares and straight lines appeal to my sense of design! I would love to win the fabric bundle. Thanks for the chance!
The tiny dancer is my favorite as I like the patter it makes. Please enter me in the fabric bundle. Thanks!
I love your Raspberry Dessert pattern. I'm really into simplicity that looks complicated, and playing with a limited color palette. Being that I've just started quilting, I'd love to branch out with some new patterns and techniques, so I'd have to go with the pattern bundle over the fabric. The ruler looks very interesting.
I'm completely in love with Chopsticks. Loved it at first sight and love it still. It is a fantastic showcase for larger scale fabrics
I really like science project I liked the solid print ratio with the other shapes.it was different to what I was seeing at the time. I think I will go fabric as I have an addiction and always seem to need more
Just finished Snack Time (loved it) and am halfway through Toes in the Sand (love it too)! Both patterns are FABULOUS and the Hex n More ruler is slicker than snot. WOW! Blocks just go together like butter!! Keep 'em coming Julie!!
I love Unwind because of the scrappiness. Hum...fabric or patterns. I love both, but those Kona solids have my eye. Thank you for the giveaway.
I like Science Fair because it has the pretty scallop edges on two sides and lots of room for quilting designs to show. The pattern bundle was tempting but who can resist those blues! So put me down for the fabric bundle. Sewgratefulquilts@yahoo.com. Sewfratefulquilts.wordpress.com
Don't want to be entered in the giveaway, but just wanted to wish you a very happy fourth on your blog! I've loved watching you grow and seeing all your dreams come true! Wishing for you a million more years!!! xo
I would like the patterns. My favorite quilt is Yummy because of the grays and yellow.
I like Plaid Parade -- love the way everything interlocks. I'd prefer the fabric bundle if i win.Thanks for the giveaway. pwofford@triad.rr.com
Your Carnival pattern calls to me- I enjoy pinwheel patterns- though Three in a Box looks fun, too. Thank you for the opportunity to enter for a chance to win a bit of fabric.
Congratulations on 4 years!! Love your patterns! :) My favorite is Chopsticks because of the triangles - they look so awesome and there are so many ways to use different colors to change the look of the quilt. I'd like to win the Pattern Bundle as I would love your new pattern and the Hex N More ruler (which is on my wishlist). Thanks for a chance to win this fabulous giveaway! :)

I really like Taffy ~ it's very calming and love the name.
I'd like the pattern bundle ~ please and thank you for the giveaway ~ very generous!
Oh! I LOVE your Science Fair pattern! I'm a sucker for patterns that end up scattered like that (and hexies). Although, one of my UFO is a Dot Party for my son . . . I need to get that done before he gets any bigger!
I would love to win the fabric bundle!
Ballerina, hands down. That pattern is genius - simple enough for me, yet very, VERY interesting, and very versatile. Thank you for this pattern!
Since I love that pattern, I'd love to win another pattern!
momsib1@gmail.com
I love snack time. I think it is because of the boldness of it! It just stands out so much! Not because of the colors you used, but because of the way you create large shapes with the use of small ones. Congrats on 4 years!
fabric bundle but nothing wrong with those great patterns and ruler!!!
lissaneyhartpc@yahoo.com
Tiny Dancer is my prefered (but I love all the others too) because of its amazing edges, completely new for me. Congratulations for this great idea !
Hugs from France
Ooops ! I have forgotten.... I'd like to be entered for your pattern bunddle if it's possible for an international reader...

Ditto! = favorite Jaybird pattern
Pattern bundle
My favorite pattern is chopsticks
May I please be entered in the giveaway for the ruler and patterns

I love Toes in the Sand...just love the triangles and the patterns they play with one another.
Don't mind which bundle...they are both equally gorgeous.
My favorite pattern is firecracker! I'd love to win the pattern bundle!
Congrats on your 4 years!
Oh, I love the Tiny dancer pattern! I am loving hexagons right now and that is such a cute version of the pieced hexi!
I would love to win your pattern bundle...I want to try your ruler
Congrats on 4 years. I like chopsticks best. Fabric bundle if I win!
Love love love the hexi and more ruler - I'm having fun finding so many uses for it - please enter me in the fabric bundle chance - BTW - love also your pattern format
Hi Julie,
You know my favorite pattern is Toes in the Sand! It really is pretty awesome! I'll take the fabric sample if I'm chosen...I've had the ruler forever!
Take care,
Greg
My favourite is Science Fair, not just because of the name. I'd prefer the fabric bundle.
Patterns please....
I love the Tiny Dancer pattern! The symmetry and movement are intriguing. Thanks for the giveaway!
I'd love to win the pattern bundle and I love everything in your book especially the brown quilt.
I'm sewing Unwind right now, but I think my favourite is Come What May.
Congratulations on these 4 years of blogging, adventures, sewing and patterns! I wish you the best for the following years.
....(and although I love your new patterns with the HexnMore ruler, as I'm afraid of Hexagons, I would like to be entered for the fabrics)
Terrific giveaway, thanks for the chance to win!
I just stared at the patterns for about five minutes unable to pick a favorite. I frequent the Quilt Asylum in McKinney, Texas and get to see samples of your quilts in store. I love Northern Lights because it's so striking in person, but they also have a sample of Traffic made up in Kaffe Fasset that is gorgeous. Then of course I love Science Fair. Also, I just picked up my third block of the month for your Toes in the Sand using Saltwater. I'm three months behind on making them, but I'll use the birth of my ten week old second child as an excuse. Since I already bought your ruler for that I'd love the fabric bundle.
My favorite is Science Fair! I love that it is not straight edges. Very cool! I'd like to win either bundle, but if I have to choose, I say bundle #1 :)
I'm doing "Toes in the Sand" from the block of the month from Fons & Porter. I don't know what it is that draws me to it. Maybe it's the color combination or the stretching of my competence. I also love your book "Skip the Borders". Keep your inspiration coming. Thank you.
As a self-taught quilter I DEPEND on your bountiful and generous teachings! Thanks for 4 years of devotion! I am in love with many of your patterns...you are so talented! Choosing a favorite I'd have to choose Science Fair. I love it when everyone looks at my quilts and can't figure out how I got the random shapes into the negative space without just appliqué-ing them on!! I would love to win the fabric bundles as I already have the Hex and More Ruler and 3 of your patterns! Thank you for being so generous and congrats on 4 years. Here's to MANY more!!

I'd like to be entered in the fabric giveaway. My favorite pattern is Off the Rail cos it uses so many fabrics and looks like it would be a great scrap quilt.
My (current) favorite pattern is toes in the sand. You do so many creative things inside the triangles while avoiding Y seams.
I would love the pattern bundle.
I love the Carnival pattern, I think it's a great way to display bright fabrics. I'd like to be entered for the fabric bundle. thank you -
minnie43@sbcglobal.net
Science Fair is my favorite because I love hexagons and am attracted to quilts that have a variation in pattern across the top.
I would love to win the fabric bundle. So much fabulousness!! My fave pattern at the moment would have to be tiny dancer ;) so looking forward to taking a class with you in sisters, or later this year! Thanks for the chance. And congrats on four years!!
I would love to be entered in your giveaway for the fabric bundle. My favorite pattern is Fast Forward because it lends itself to a scrappy look and has a modern look to it.
Thanks!

I would love to win the pattern bundle. I love the variety of Toes in The Sand. Have not found a Canadian distributor yet but have an idea who I might ask. Congratulations. I so enjoy your patterns and the skills you share via your blog. Joanne
I'd love to get my hands on that pattern bundle! I'm torn between Lotus and Toes in the Sand...the first because of my love of yoga, the second because I'm getting impatient for my beach vacation! All your work is so great! Happy blogiversary!
Shawnna (redredbobbin -at- yahoo dot com)

I really like the Snack Time Pattern because it is so versatile in the combinations you could make. I am interested in the fabric bundle.
I love CHOPSTICKS! I made it for a new baby gift and it was so fun to make.
Patterns please.
My favorite pattern of yours so far is Fast Forward. I've made several of them for baby gifts (the best by far using Dr. Suess fabrics). Keep up the great work!
PS. I would love to win the pattern bundle.
I love your lotus pattern. I like how the two shapes work together. I would like to enter the fabric givaway. I already have your ruler and toes in the sand. I have already finished block one.
