I am a blogger and I would buy a bunch of boy fabrics because for some reason, even though I have a son I buy way too many girly fabrics lol.

mommy2blaze at gmail dot com

jill said...

non-blogger, but blogger in my heart. Would buy the new ruler, one of the new patterns, and Sherbert Pips!

Charlotte said...

I am a non-blogger, and I would use the gift certificate to get hold of a whole load of fabrics that are (for some reason) so hard to find here in the UK.

Splendorfalls said...

Blogger! Oh man, I'd totally get the Hugs and Kisses pattern AND the ruler, and then the rest fabric! Probably a Jelly Roll to make the Hugs and Kisses and yardage of who knows what! Fun!

Angela said...

I am a blogger. I have to say that I would probably blow most of that on fabric! I should be practical and pick up a tool or two, but after that I would get some of the great basics from Central Park and Sunkissed. There are so many gorgeous fabrics in those lines! But so many others call to me...yes, fabric speaks to me. Doesn't it speak to everyone?

wendy_d23 said...

Wow, now that is a fabulous giveaway! I am a blogger. I would get lots of solids to build my stash!

SSKcraftshop said...

I am a blogger, I would love to win to get more fabrics for the 25 team of ladies I teach free and work part-time, this GC will be a blessing, as we are always short of fabric...lol

MKLOWRY said...

I am a non-blogger. I would buy Unwind and get as much Anna Marie Horner voile as I could. I would love to make a voile quilt!

~Alicia said...

This is an amazing giveaway! I am excited!

Non blogger
I would buy Fabric!! you can never have too much.

Thanks for the chance to win.

Anonymous said...

BLOGGER! AND might I say DUDE (ette) this is a FANTASTIC giveaway! I would use the $$ to buy some SUPERcute fabric for SUNDRESSES because spring made it to NC and I'm READY for sundress weather!

Threads by Terry said...

I am not a blogger but I sure read them. I would by patterns by julie Herman of course and lots of fabric. I love so many but it would be nice to get a whole set of a design

B. said...

BLOGGER! Seriously girl you have the best giveaways, what couldn't we do with $100. At the moment I would buy all solids. I've never been a fan of solids until recently and I have none, I would go mad with some bella solids. Think of how many one yard pieces I could get.

sandandstarfish said...

BLOGGER :)
So many choices! I'd spend it on fabric (of course) but also some books/magazines and patterns.
I'm leaving the workplace to be a SAHM so my budget for fabric is pretty much non existent! And I have yet to make my first quilt and I've been dying to do so! A quilt kit would be perfect for this!
This is an outstanding giveaway! Thank you so much for the opportunity!

Coisas da Laura said...

I'm a blogger. I will buy all your new patterns and all the required fabric for them!!!

Tiffaney said...

Blogger - I would put it toward the 2011 Mystery BOM. That means there would be plenty of blogging each month about winning

Unknown said...

BLOGGER....oh my gosh!! I would buy as much fabric as I could, probably get a lot of staples for my stash andI would defintitely buy a couple of your new patterns...they are awesome!! Thanks for the giveaway!

*Cornelia* said...

Im a blogger, and great give away I would by some quilt and sewing patterns, maybe some fabric too

Hugs Cornelia

Katie said...

I'm a blogger and I would probably drool for a while before deciding what to buy. Maybe I'd treat myself to fabric for a new project or two (because we all know quilters need MORE projects) or maybe I'd be good and choose some patterns to use the fabric I already have. Or maybe a little of both... How soon would I have to show progress? :) Thanks for a chance to win such an astounding prize!

Cori Lewis said...

I think I'm a blogger (I don't dedicate my blogs to quilting...yet).Oh my goodness... well I need backing for three quilts, I'm adddicte to precuts. I need some notions. The list could go on, I drool at Fat quarter Shop EVERY day and some days I buy (I have two sepperate boxes on their way to me now). FAVORITE store!

Jen said...

I'm a blogger. Oh man, I could buy some great stuff with $100. I current have way more than that just sitting in my shopping cart there just waiting for me to pull the trigger. I'd have to get some of the new Art Gallery fabrics, Bazaar Style. Of course some kona cotton solids to build up the stash. And of course, I'd have to browse the sale section to build up my stash with some too-good-to-pass-up fabrics.

Terrie said...

I am not a blogger BUT am hoping to remedy that this year !!!!
I have to get that ruler then probably a pattern or two and the rest would no dout go to fabric. I have seven children and the fabric budget at the moment is almost nonexistant so this would be sooooo sweet !!!!!!

Marjorie's Busy Corner said...

Oh my!!!!!!!!! Well; I am a blogger...the first thing I would buy is all of your new patterns;and you know I will because I have been asking you about them..lol. I need the ruler too; the rest would go on wonderful fabrics...to make quilts with.Thank you again for this great opportunity...

Willa said...

Non Blogger

I will likely get more fabric......need some --you know how that goes!

But I would also like a new ruler and some ribbon.

I am sure if I won I would shop and shop and rearrange my cart many times before deciding!

What fun to contemplate!

byneedleandthread said...

blogger. i would probably choose things on a whim. i like to make scrappy quilts so i don't usually buy with a certain purpose. maybe some black and white fabrics.

nono said...

I'm a blogger and I would buy some Patty Young Sanctuary and some solids too. Great giveaway thanks!

Anonymous said...

I'm a blogger... and I'd buy fabric... Mint Scarborough Fair and Celestial Dreams yardage. Oh and there are some Christmas fabrics that I'm waiting to be released too so if the gift certificate doesn't have to be used all at once, I might save some for that.

Anonymous said...

I'm a blogger, and I'd probably buy a whole load of basics, plus definitely some boy fabrics to do my toddler's next quilt. Thanks for the chance to win!
islaybower@gmail.com

Michele said...

I blog. I would buy patterns, fabric, and more fabric. The really cool stuff that isn't on sale!

Megan said...

Um, WOW! This is a great giveaway. I'm a blogger, and I would definitely splurge on layer cakes - Sherbet Pips, Sugar & Spice, maybe Oasis by 3 Sisters, or perhaps save some $$ for Tinsel Tree by Robert Kaufman. Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind. HA!! THANKS for the chance to win!

Becca Quilts said...

I'm a blogger. That ruler looks really nifty, so I'd probably buy that, possibly the twister rulers, and then oodles of fabric - precuts in a variety of sizes. :-).

Lis Anne said...

Non - blogger - however I am sincerely considering it.

What would I get . . . the question should be what wouldn't I get. I know that once I would start picking out items, I wouldn't stop. First of all I would probably start with finding more purple fabric to complete my Boo Davis Owl Quilt that my son is giving his Cross Country Coach as a way to say thanks after his senior season.

sarah said...

I'm a blogger, just not always a very diligent one. :)

I think I'd get the Central Park Sudoku kit, an Oliver + S book or pattern, a fun new ruler, and whatever's left would go to fabric!

Anna said...

I am technically a blogger - just not about crafty sewing stuff. I would buy lots of fabric - central park and sancutuary come to mind and then a slew of patterns too.

Ashley G. said...

NON-Blogger here-
I would definitely get some of your patterns and that lazy angle ruler, I really like the look of that and what it can do! I would also get Michael Miller Baby FQ bundle, Sherbert Pips for sure, and some Central Park yardage. I would probably get a couple more patterns besides yours too. But mostly fabric. :)

Erin said...

Blogger - This is awesome! I would get Macy Giggles Sundress Pattern Izzy & Ivy Patterns,April Fresh and Fancy Table Runner Pattern Cotton Way, Lovely Charm Pack Sandy Gervais for Moda Fabrics, Lovely Rain Swirl Yardage, Lovely Babies Breath Sandy's Solid Yardage, Lovely Leaf Plaid Yardage, Lovely Peony Spring Yardage, Lovely Daffodil Circle Flower Yardage, Lovely Rain Dots Yardage
SKU# 17577-13

mennikelly said...

non-blogger. I'd buy backing fabric for a few quilt tops.

Molly said...

I am a blogger! I would buy some sherbet pips, your hugs and kisses pattern, a fat quarter bonanza (because they're so much fun), and fabrics for some baby quilts I need to make. That's probably more than $100, but you get the idea :)

Mama Bear said...

Blogger. I would stock up on Kona Solids and get a highly coveted Kona Color Card.

Great giveaway! Thank you so much!

Lee Ann L. said...

Blogger.

I tend to post pictures of most of my quilting/sewing projects; so, this should not be a problem unless there is a deadline to use up the products I purchased. I didn't see one. Ha!

Anyway, at the moment, I probably would purchase a lot of "basics" to fill out future quilting projects. On the other hand, I might go for a few notions or I might choose a quilting project and then buy fabric specifically for it. It all depends upon the mood I'm in. Ha!

Thanks for the chance to win!

Sequana said...

Non-blogger here.

Mostly I would buy fabric - there are so many new collections I want/need. *S*

Notions would *maybe* be a part of it.

btw....I already buy patterns from you. :)

epban said...

I am a non blogger and I'd buy lots of Aviary 2 for a lapquilt!

Kristy said...

I'm a blogger and here's my list for the next 5 minutes; but it changes often so don't quote me on anything :-)

--Unwind pattern (of course, I told you I want one)
--Lazy Angle Ruler
--Bazaar Style
--Bella Solids of several varieties
--Some Michael Miller prints

Anonymous said...

non-blogger

I'd buy the fabric to make a queen sized quilt. Our bedroom in our "new to us" house is a shade of green and I'm thinking Lilac Hill would match beautifully.

Heather A said...

I'm a blogger but not a quilt blogger. Quilting is just something I obsess about but my actual blog is about breast cancer (not as fun as a quilting blog).

What a CRAZY AWESOME giveaway!

I would buy some of that Michael Miller crown fabric in both black and white and then a bunch of other black and white fabrics to coordinate with it. I'd make a quilt for my niece, who I have always called "Princess". Maybe I'd configure it all into a "Princess and the Pea" quilt.

Brynn said...

I'm a blogger, and it would all go to fabric. I need more boy fabric - way too many friends are having boys, and I have way too much girl fabric. That much fabric would make me very, very happy.

Kelly said...

ooooh! Great giveaway Julie! Let's see....I've been wanting to buy some Sunkissed, Ready Set Go, the new honeycomb Schnibbles pattern, and I can always use more dots! :)

Judith said...

Blogger. I would buy a lot of of Moda fabric as they have such a good selection on layer cakes and jelly roles. I have never used either so this would be a nice challange.

Gertie said...

I'm a blogger. My kitchen stools really need some slipcovers so I would get fabric for that project.

robin said...

Blogger. Perhaps I'd get Wanna Be a Cowboy 10" squares. Very well might change my mind, tho... so hard to choose! :)

Renegade Quilter said...

Blogger -
With $100 at Fat Quarter Shop I would get as much of the following as possible.
-the new ruler you used in your patterns
-your twisty/spiral pattern (can't remember the name of it)
-Impressions fabric by Ty Pennington
-Sherbet Pips Layer Cake
Depending upon how much yardage I got of Ty's fabric I might be done there but if I had extra $$ I would use it to get some Bella Solids.
Thanks for the great giveaway!!!!

Katherine said...

I'm a Blogger...
Fabric would be a the top of my list. Especially would love to try some Kona solids. I've got design ideas I want to try... just need the "right" fabric. ;o)

What an amazing giveaway! Thanks so much for the chance to win, Julie.

~Michelle~ said...

I'm a blogger... and I would buy Aviary 2 - prob FQs & yardage!

julia said...

blogger.
first i'll buy some kona charcoal for my 'single girl quilt' ...and maybe even the backing (but on the other hand...i should wait for the 'sherbet pips' yardage...we'll see).
then i have many bits and bobs in my fqs shopping card right now: 'baby' by michael miller, the 'tailor made' measure tape fabrics, 'kate & nate' flannel for my first self made pj pants - and some hullabaloo precuts!! (oh, and have you seen the new j. caroline ribbon with the scissors? so cute!).

Tiffany said...

Blogger
To start - I would do a huge happy dance :)

Then I really would get the lazy ruler and probably your unwind or carnival pattern because I want to learn to use this neat tool.

Then I would get the following:

Sherbet pips layer cake
Sunkissed gingham prints

And then some solids to go with the quilts I've been working on lately.

jaellede said...

NON-BLOGGER

I would buy your Fast Forward Pattern and the fabric I will need :) But don't ask me yet which fabric... This decision will take a while ;)

Sharon said...

Non-Blogger. I would buy a fatquarter pack for the SuperNova quilt along and some solids if I have enough! Thanks for the giveaway.

PunkiePie (Jen) said...

Blogger here. I would buy Sugar and Spice yardage (Riley Blake). I love it. It's so fun for a little girl. :)

lynnquiltsalot said...

Non-blogger, but LOVE reading quilt blogs.

I'd have to put some of the new Primitive Muslins from Lisa Bongean in my cart, along with a bunch of pre-cuts, and some Toasty by Jo Morton looks yummy or maybe just blow the whole thing on a quilt kit. With so many to choose from it wouldn't be hard to pick; I have my eye on Camille's It Takes Two quilt kit (and backing) which is on sale. Such a cute quilt for Christmas giving. Thanks for the chance to add to my stash!

Anonymous said...

I'm a blogger.
I actually have a wish list cart with Fat Quarterly right now! I've had my eye on Amanda Murphy's Swiss chocolate lines for awhile now. I'd make a quilt with those fabrics.

Anonymous said...

non-blogger (but avid shopper) here.

I'd buy two of your new patterns (Carnivale and Hugs and Kisses), the lazy angle ruler, and as many jelly rolls as possible. Currently it's the Lily & Will jelly rolls in gender neutral colors for baby quilts, as well as City Weekend, Just Wing it, and Modern Workshop.

Brooke said...

I am a blogger... I would buy a bunch of fabric :)

Sara @ Sew Sweetness said...

BLOGGER

Your patterns look so pretty sitting there in a row!

I would get some Central Park and make a quilt!!

Katie Canfield said...

I'm a blogger! And I could use as much Parisville and polka dots I can get my hands on! I have quite a few baby quilts coming up and I think polka dots would be perfect since some babies (whether they're boys or girls) are being kept a mystery! :) Thanks!

L said...

Non-blogger. I would buy the Hugs and Kisses pattern and the Nancy Fun Flowers FQ bundle :)

Pondering said...

Non blogger but I am going to start soon. Not sure what my subject will be but anyhoo, What would I buy if I had $100 to spend at Fat Quarter Shop....I think I could, well FABRIC! and lots of it!

beanie g said...

I'm a blogger and I would use the $100 to buy solids ... that's my challenge this year, to purchase more (not really that difficult) and to use more solids in quilts, bags and aprons.

AmandaK@whatthebobbin said...

NON-Blogger: I would for sure get some Sherbet Pips. LOVE. IT.

I think Pips would make a lovely quilt for my two month old. I would also have to find a pattern to use the Pips on.

Thanks!

Rae Arnold said...

I’m a blogger. It may be a little selfish, but I'd use it to get the fabric and pattern to finally make myself a quilt for our bed. I keep giving away the quilts I make.

But I can't be more specific than that, there’s soooo much to choose from, pattern wise. It'd take a lot of contemplation (but I'm so willing to do it soon)

Crystal said...

I'm a blogger. I'd definitely buy some Aviary 2 when it comes out later this month. I'm so excited about that woodgrain!

Anonymous said...

Blogger! What a fantastic giveaway! I would buy some of Darlene Zimmerman's Buttercup & Sweet Pickins, then top that off with some Sherbet Pips :)

marciekoch said...

I'm a blogger...and I would buy some kona solids. I haven't jumped on that bandwagon yet, but I'm loving the look of quilts made with solids. I'd probably buy a few patterns because I'm a sucker for patterns and I love adding them to my pattern binder. I'd also buy some sort of precuts - probably a layer cake or a jelly roll. LOve those!

ilovebabyquilts said...

I'm a blogger and I would get a bunch of Sherbet Pips I've been wanting!

KD-Quilts said...

I'm a blogger...
I would fill my cart with lovely fabric to build my stash up some more! Definitely would have some
parisville and some central park in it! What a fun giveaway!

Heather @ Quilts Actually said...

non-blogger (so far)... I would buy firecracker, the lazy angle ruler, "ready, set, go!" by Ann Kelle, and as much yardage to use as backing as the leftover fabric would allow me to afford!

Melissa said...

Patterns! I would buy lots and lots of patterns. And fabric. Man, so hard to make up my mind... I'd find a way to spend it though, that's for sure.

Jacqueline said...

BLOGGER!

I would need to buy:
*a lazy ruler
*Carnival by Jaybird Quilts
*Central Park yardage
*a 1930s jelly roll
*solid yardage
*a charm pack or two

And that has probably eaten my $100! xoxo Thanks for the giveaway!

Four dogs and one quilter said...

Non blogger. Would use that $100 to buy a Flurry FQB.

Anonymous said...

I am a blogger. I would buy a huballoo fabric of layer cake or fat quarters, A just wing it layer cake and some hideaway if they still have any left. What an awesome giveaway.

Anonymous said...

Lapsed blogger. I don't post as much as I'd like to, but I write lots of posts in my head. I would buy the ready,set, go fat quarter bundle (yay!) and I kind of like the look of that ruler. Boy, I'd still have $ leftover after that. I'm sure I could find something :) I think I might get Melissa Averinos' "Small Stash sewing" or maybe I'd have to buy some coordinating solid fabrics.

Irelle said...

I am a blogger wannabe - someday maybe but for now have to embrace my non-blogger status. I would build my stash of solids and a couple of your new patterns :) Any possibility they could give away more time in my day too so I could get some quilt projects completed??

Bobbie said...

I'm just a blog-READER!

I have the lazy ruler, so I would NEED to have your patterns to actually use the ruler. I also NEED jelly rolls, and fat quarter bundles!!!

Mary P said...

Blogger. Of course I would buy fabric--high on my list right now is the Tammis Keefe tribute fabrics, Marine by Dan Stiles, and lots of solids!

Vroomans' Quilts said...

I would chose a fabric bundle of Riley Blake's Sweet Divinity. I am a Blogger.

Joan and Kevin said...

NON Blogger. I would buy lots of fabric and a couple of your patterns.

A Seam to Sew said...

Blogger... I would buy fabric. I'm trying to build up my stash so that I can make a rainbow quilt. I would also through in some notions. Thanks for the chance to win!

Terry@ a quilting blog said...

I'm a blogger....and I would definitely start by choosing a jelly roll (or two) and patterns to use with them. Thanks for the chance at this amazing giveaway.

Dan R said...

Blogger! I'll buy fabric, and it will depend on what strikes me on shopping day.

Lynette said...

Blogger. I'd get the "Around the Block" quilt kit and backing! :D

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
May you have:

A world of wishes at your command
God and his angels close at hand
Friends and family their love impart,
And Irish blessings in you heart.

Unknown said...

Non-blogger. Fabric and Patterns! I am just finishing my first quilt and I can't wait to start a new one!

Just came across your blog a few days ago and I can't seem to get myself away from it. Love it!

Cynnielynn said...

I am a non-blogger (although I am trying). I would go to their sale items and buy lots. I shop there often. I need more stash! I would love to show off what I create.

Carla said...

This blogger would of course want to load up on some (or all) of your fab patterns, an angle ruler and some fabric to go with.... if I got the pot at the end of the rainbow!

Andria said...

I am a blogger and I just recently started quilting. I would love to use the certificate to get some new tools, patterns, and of course, fabric, especially solids.

Kristin said...

non-blogger really who attempts to blog every so often?

i would stock up some on some basics to round out my stash - stash some sherbert pips, complete my impressions stash & maybe snag a few books since i am still learning to quilt.

its_kristin@yahoo.com

Anna Ziegner said...

I'm not a blogger. What would I buy? Solids! All kinds of different colors. Anna

Bree said...

BLOGGER!
I'd scoop up the little twister pinwheel ruler, a lot of solid yumminess, and a few yards of central park stone north meadow yardage. I want my entire house covered in that fabric, I tell ya. I'll make myself sheets, a quilt, and matching pjs. It'll be like camoflauge, but way cooler.

Ali said...

I'm a blogger! I would buy some rulers and sherbet pips.

eholst said...

Non-blogger
Ooh, ooh, some fabric (like the Pips)! I need to build up my stash to make some quilts and purses and skirts. All of that fun stuff. Thanks Jaybird and Fat Quarter Shop!

Tiffany said...

Karen said...

I am a blogger. I would create my own kit- your Fast Forward pattern, Just Wing It jelly roll and navy solid background. I would also need the Lazy Ruler, so I would get that as well.

Carol said...

I am a non blogger, but would love to have the time to blog! I would get the easy angle ruler and some bella solids for quilts I am working on. And some Central Park. Thanks for the giveaway and wonderful blog!

Tara said...

BLOGGER - still a novice at blogging but I do try from time to time to post some bits! This is a fantastic giveaway - I would choose: some yardage of the Scarborough Fair Sky Floral Tapestry, a jelly roll or two and if there's room, a pattern!

Bobbi said...

BLOGGER! Um... I would have a hard time NOT buying fabric! I'm already a hoarder, so maybe I would add accessories and a pattern or two! I love your new patterns... What an excellent opportunity to try one out! :)

Becky S. said...

I am a NON-blogger. If I won the gift certificate, I would get the Flurry quilt kit, a Sherbet Pips layer cake, a Strawberry Fields layer cake, a Buttercup layer cake... and the list goes on and on!!!

Elizabeth Dackson said...

Melissa Corry said...

I am a BLOGGER at happyquiltingmelissa.blogspot.com. I love having a quilting blog!!! I am going on 9 months of having a quilting blogging and am just loving having a place to share my creative whims :) (That and my husband was getting tired of me hijacking the family blog with pictures of quilts :)

As to what I would buy, Oh my goodness, I would be in heaven!! I would probably buy some baby prints (hopefully by then I would know if #5 on the way was a boy or girl). and I would love one of those lazy angle rulers, they seem so cool!! I could totally use some more solids in my stash, they are next to non-existent. I would then love to score some Innocent Crush!! I have had that on my wish list for some time :)

Lynn said...

I am not a blogger. I would buy some of your patterns and fabric to go with them....along with some fabric to update my stash which could use some pep and energy!

JaneRH said...

non-blogger. But a definite wannabe. If I won, I would definitely get your hugs and kisses and unwind quilt patterns and beautiful colorful fabric (like central park) to make them up in! Thanks.

Kristy said...

I'm a Blogger

What would I buy....Some fabric, Sherbit Pips, Solids and some Layer cakes? And I am always partial to new templates or rules!

{Leila}Where the Orchids Grow said...

I'm a blogger.
Oh the fun I would have on a $100 shopping spree! I'd buy lots of fabrics {duh} especially those that are hard to find here or yet to be released. Solids, can never get enough of those and definitely some of those super rulers too! Oh and some more fabric...did I mention I love fabric yet?
Thanks for hosting such a fab give away.

Susan C. said...

I am a blogger, and I would buy a little of everything - a pattern or two, some pre-cuts like a layer cake or jelly roll, and some yardage for backing material. So much fun!

Maroesja said...

I am a non-blogger. I'd buy first some essentials like rotary cutter, rulers, machine needles (my last normal broke and now I'm using a denim-needle :S ) etc. and then I'd fill up with yummie fabrics, probably mostly boy fabrics

Miss Lundelius said...

I'm a non-blogger; but just recently chatted with a girlfriend about becoming bloggers together. Since she is a physician and I'm finishing up a Ph.D., we talked about calling ourselves: "Docs Who Quilt" or something else equally fun.

Anywho, what would I do with $100 from FQS? Buy the Lazy Angle Ruler along with your Hugs and Kisses quilt pattern. I've been eyeing it for some time. I would also like to purchase enough backing material to finish several heirloom quilt tops that my grandmother recently gave me (all were constructed by either my own Mamaw or her mother-in-law, my Mama Jule).

Come on TRNG! I'm counting on you! :)

Unknown said...

What an amazing giveaway! I've just spent about an hour over at the Fat Quarter shop and now I'm even more confused than ever by what I'd get!

I do know I'd try and find all the fabrics that are so impossible to get in the UK! - especially some of the rarer Bella solids ... but there is oh so much to choose from ...

Jen said...

Non-blogger here, and I love the idea of this give away!

I think I'd buy a layer cake of the Sherbet Pips line, and some coordinating solids to go with it to make some baby quilts!

Janet said...

I am a blogger. I'm pretty sure I would buy fabric, yup fabric... some of those modern lines that I just don't have access to where I live. Thanks for a chance at a really nice giveaway and congrats on your pattern success.

diana said...

BLOGGER here. I would love to see the new line from Ann Kelle. And some Bliss. And a loooot RK prints. I am sue I can have a looot of all for 100$ :)

That's the perfect giveaway, thanks for doing it.

Oh, and I am in love with 3 of your new pattern. Of course I'll put one of them too :)

I'm a non blogger. I would buy all your patterns and the ruler because I love them. Then I would buy some cheerful fabric, bright and happy to sew at least one up.

Pippa said...

Julie - What a fabulous giveaway! What would I buy? 1930'-type fabrics for a traditional wedding ring quilt, single girl quilt, or your fast forward quilt. The colours are bright & cheery, perfect for a spring quilt.

I'm not a blogger.

Thanks, again! Here's hoping I have some of the luck of the Irish. Cheers! Pippa

Valerie said...

I'm a NON-BLOGGER (so far)...
I would buy fabric and more fabric - definitely some of the gem kumari gardens...maybe some sugar and spice, some soul blossoms, really, I could spend hours just looking and considering all the possibilities!
This is a FANTASTIC giveaway!

Pink Ribbon Quilts said...

Non-blogger. I reeeeally want to make a halloween quilt, so I'd get FABRIC!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!!

Baskets Of Quilts said...

Wow great giveaway! I'm a blogger. I guess I would save the gift certificate until strawberry fields by fig tree comes out. But I probably could not wait that long and then I would buy either kona cottons or Bella solids. Btw which is better and why?

Janice @ Better off Thread said...

I am a Blogger (though I can't seem to post this comment under that username here), and I really want your Unwind pattern, the ruler and a FQ pack of Silent Cinema by Jenean Morrison, once it's out.
Thanks for the giveaway!

JuliePickles said...

Oh my, what an awesome giveaway Julie! I think I would get the fabric I need to get to work on Elizabeth Hartman's Paintbox quilt that I've been dying to do. I haven't been quilting long enough to have all of those colors in my stash so I've been slowly picking up prints here and there. $100 would definitely get me what I need! Oh, and I'm a blogger. Thanks for this!

Anonymous said...

blogger: i would get fabric, for all the hundred dollars, just yards and yards and yards of it..

Unknown said...

Hi, I'm a non-blogger...

I would love to win this gift certificate. I'm not sure what I would choose, I've been eyeing several things on the FQS website. I'm looking at my "shopping cart," and it's pretty full of dreams.

I'd love to try the Sangria bali pop from Hoffman fabrics, with coordinating backing and binding. I'm also in love with Laura Gunn's new Magnolia Lane fat quarter bundle with the Olive Cimbing Blossoms as a backing. So elegant! Ooooo!

My fingers are crossed!

Erica said...

I am a BLOGGER and I would definitely use it to buy a fat quarter bundle of Momo's Just Wing it fabric. I have had my eye on it for a while!

Anne said...

Blogger -- I would choose your "Firecrcacker" and "Hugs and Kisses" plus some yardage of Moda's Lilac Hill in tan-dotted bloom for a project! So much fun it would be to shop to my heart's content!

Betty said...

Yes, I am a blogger. There are so many lovely kits and bundles to pick from. If I would be the lucky winner I would consider the Christmas Natural FQ, and Jan & Jennys Garden Quilt kit, and the Amber Plum FQ bundle. Thanks for the chance to win.

Kelly said...

BLOGGER! I would buy luscious, dreamy, fabric to replenish my stash. I have been quite disciplined of late!

Vikki B said...

Ooooh,

I have a blog (its mostly about food). Oh my, what would I do with that - I would get some Dr. Suess fabric to try a couple of quilts I have floating around in my head for sure. Probably some patterns with the leftover, or some Just Wing It to play with.

I would buy some Sherbet Pips, and then find some other fun fabric for things for my new Granddaughter.
I love to read other peoples blogs and get much inspiration from them!
Thanks~

Brooke said...

Whoa! What a FANTASTIC giveaway! I'm a blogger and I would spend every last bit of the gift certificate on fabric. I just can't get enough fabric.

Kathryn said...

Non-blogger. I have a couple books on my list - City Quilts and Scrap Basket Sensation. I'll need some solids for a City Quilt. I plan to buy your Firecracker pattern and a Lazy Angle, and need some bright fabric to make something a inspiring at the quilt on the cover of Firecracker. Kathie L in Allentown

verykerryberry said...

I am a blogger. I think I would get as many Michael Miller fabrics as I could!

Sharon said...

I'm a blogger. The first thing I'd put in my cart is a new rotary cutter because mine sucks! Then I would buy a bunch of solids because that's what my stash is lacking. Thank you and Fat Quarter Shop for the very generous giveaway! :)

Bridget B said...

I am a blogger- With $100. to buy fabric I would be in fabric heaven. I promised myself I would not buy any fabric for 1 year only to finish projects I have started but if I won -it wouldn't count : )
What a great giveaway. Thanks

Amanda said...

Hi there - I am a Non-blogger but if I wonI would choose:

2 Baby Fat Quarter Bundles by Michael Miller Fabrics ...I have made lots of girly projects but now I think its time to make something for my 2 year old Twin boys!

Thanks for the great prize.

Michelle said...

Blogger... I would buy fabric of course, some yummy Kona solids and some buttercup! Thanks for the giveaway it would be such a treat to win!

Melodee said...

I am a non-blogger.
I want to make a new quilt for my daughters bed, currently there is a washed out IKEA duvet cover on it. A new quilt with a matching skirt would need lots of fabric. I don't know exactly which fabric I would chose, but choclate and Aqua is the currently color scheme, I don't want paint, so we will go with that.

Emily said...

Blogger

I'd definitely buy some:
City Weekend
It's a Hoot
Fandango
And if there's still $$ left over, a solid Kona FQ bundle :)

Anonymous said...

Hi Julie, I am a blogger! And I would get the lazy angle, a mix of fabrics or precuts. Or even some yardage for backing. A book or two and patterns would finish it off. Thank you Julie and Fat Quarter Shop!

Molly said...

Non-blogger. I would use the $100 to buy a new rotary cutter and some Sunkissed by Sweetwater yardage to make seat cushions and a table runner for my breakfast nook! Thanks for the giveaway!!!

Pat V. said...

Non-blogger. What a fabulous prize! Thanks for the chance to win. I would OF COURSE buy your new patterns, they are all awesome (as I've said before!) I'd use the gift certificate to splurge on items normally too expensive for me: I've been itching to buy a fat eighth bundle of Oasis, so that would be on my list. And then there's that Sherbet Pips layer cake. That would use most of the winnings right there!

Strlady said...

Blogger here!
Wow! $100 GC could go a LONG way! or maybe I could just buy a FQ bundle of Fig Trees Strawberry fields as soons as it is released?
I so want me some of that!
Or maybe I can't wait and want that Oasis Quilt Kit? Maybe..
or how about the upcoming North Star Quilt Kit - but that would require waiting... So many options!

Needled Mom said...

FABRIC!!! I would love to do a Double Wedding Ring quilt and there is a quilt along coming up for it.

Unknown said...

BLOGGER! so sorry, I commented earlier and forgot the vital info :)

Hannah said...

I'm a non-blogger. I have a blog, but I've officially decided to quit using it (for the forseeable future), since blogging has never been fun for me.

With $100, I'd definitely stock up on basics like Kona solids, Michael Miller's Pindots, and Laura Gunn's Painter's Canvas. oh, and a little bit of Sherbet Pips too.

Dee said...

Non Blogger - I would buy fabric for ME rather than for gifts and my daughter.

Jena said...

I am a non-blogger, and would love to treat myself to Miss Rosie's Spice of Life Quilt Book. I want to make "True Blue" so I would buy as much Jo Morton Carolina or Sweet Emilie as I could to make it really special! Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!

jackie said...

I really want some of the new lines that are coming out this summer...like Countdown to Christmas, Flurry, and Grand Finale. I would also love to buy some of the Schnibbles patterns and Ready, Set, Go fabric.

clair said...

I have a privet blog, so I guess that makes me a non-blogger. I get fabric, any and all! I love it!

Anonymous said...

I'm a Bad Blogger and patiently (tapping fingers) waiting for some Sherbet Pips. Thanks for the chance to score some!

I quilt 4 fun said...

mean sarah jean said...

i am a blogger. i would spend it all on fabric. lots and lots and lots of pretty fabric. might get some new rulers too, since my boy tried to ride mine down the stairs. it didn't turn out well for my ruler.

SewLindaAnn said...

Non-blogger (but not for long). Wow $100. to spend as I wish is too amazing. I would buy a few yards of prints from the Soul Blossoms line to make a tunic and a dress, Ann Kelle's adorable planes, trains and cars, a few patterns for clothing and quilts and I'd browse the books for a new one. Too cool!

Joe and Julianne said...

Blogger! Thanks for the giveaway. My stash is getting low .... only 2 cupboards full these days so I need to stock up :) Love your blog!

Kathryn said...

Non-blogger

It will be so hard to choose, but I think I would pick up some sherbet pips, impressions by ty pennington, and sanctuary by patty young.

Tricia said...

<Blogger :)

Hmmm...I would stock up on solids. I have zero in my stash and my guild members have really inspired me to incorporate more solids in my quilts.

KristyLou said...

blogger- i would start off by buying fabric for a dr. suess quilt for a charity that needs to be done in Oct. Then I think i woudl try out one of your patterns to use the fabric in. wow, this is an AWESOME giveaway!

corina said...

I'm a blogger (my first month blogging anniversary!). I would buy the Earl Grey Batik fat quarter bundle and a few other batiks. Crazy good giveaway!

Meri said...

Non blogger here! Thanks for a great giveaway, Julie and FQS! I think I'd have to get a few fabrics to complete one of your new quilts (and pattern, of course!) And maybe a little more to add to the stash?

Andee said...

I am a blogger! I would for sure be buying a pattern or two from your new set of patterns...I love two of them alot! I would also be buying a few of the new Schnibbles patterns and ofc I would have to get some fabric to make one of your tops too!

Kirsty @ Bonjour Quilts said...

Unknown said...

I'm a blogger. :)

I would buy fabric, a square ruler, and patterns.

Thanks for this opportunity. :)

Unknown said...

I am a blogger, and I would buy as much yardage of Sherbet Pips that I could, plus a Lazy angle ruler and I would for sure use it all to make your Hugs and Kisses quilt (so I would buy that too)!
Totally not trying to be a suck up. I just think that would be so much fun!

CJ said...

Blogger here. Great giveaway. I would get an assortment - some pre-cuts, some yardage, a pattern or two.

GASteph said...

I'm a Non-Blogger, but enjoy reading them. I'd buy a couple of charm packs, matching yardage, patterns and whatever else I could squeeze out of the giveaway. Thanks for offering this giveaway.

krisgray said...

Blogger: I would go to the batiks section and go wild! Love the 1895s, they're better than solids! If I had any left, I would probably get a book or a magazine.

Kenton and Marianne Ogg said...

I'm saying that I'm a non-blogger since my blog is only viewable by me. I'd spend the $100 on the Flip Side quilt kit by Rachel Griffin. I love everything that she does and have wanted to order that since it first came out! mamaogg@gmail.com

Diana said...

NON-blogger.

I would buy loads of lovely fabric. Probably a layer cake with some coordinating yardage. Now you've got me salivating!

Shannon said...

Blogger (well, it's called a diary because they weren't called blogs back then). Can I enter if I'm from Canada? I'd buy a bunch of Sunkissed and Magnolia Lane.

Lynnae said...

Blogger...sort of...just not a very consistent one. It is definitely not up to date.

I would buy the angle ruler, and lots and lots of fabric like lilly and will, sunkissed, sherbet pips, christmas, and so many more ideas. The choices would be endless.

Linda in Arkansas said...

blogger - My plan would be do buy fabric for myself, my co-worker and my daughter so that we can do a quilt-a-long together. No question about it RJR's Mr. Fix It for me, I love that fabric. Amy Butler and Tula Pink for the other gals. And yes, we would get them done and send you pictures!

Lindsay Conner said...

I'm a Blogger, and I'd pick out some Sherbet Pips and that handy ruler if I win!

Sarah Louise said...

I'm a blogger, and I would definitely buy fabric if I won! I'd love to buy some batik Hoffman fabrics to make a quilt for my husband-to-be as my wedding gift to him! I love to quilt, but I haven't been able to afford new fabric for a while - it'd be so much fun to be able to make a new quilt again! :)

Quiltjane said...

Blogger. I would love to get some French General with my $60 ($40 goes on post to Australia). The new Pom Pom de Paris is scrumptious. I would also like some "Hoo's in the forest' when it arrives.

Erin P. said...

Non-Blogger (I think, I do a family blog to keep family out of state up to date, nothing crafty on it, and it's private)
I am just getting into sewing and quilting so there are a lot of things that I would like to get. My mom helped me sew dresses and pants growing up but since a got married I have been getting into quilting a little bit. My mother in law is amazing at quilting and she just helped me with my second quilt ever. I still have a lot to learn but I am enjoying it. Quilting is fun but a bit expensive especially where I am just getting started so I would by some of the basics like rulers, a few different sizes and I really want to get the wedge looking one (sorry I don't know technical terms) and of course I would want to get some fabrics I love bright colored fabric (I don't know any line names in specific) I would like to get some patterns to try out as well and some more thread. All of that would probably burn through $100 pretty fast if I won.

Petit Design Co. said...

I would finally splurge and get a FQ bundle. They are always out of my price range ... now to decide which one!

blogger-Sherbet Pips precuts

Think Outside the Box said...

Non-blogger and I would choose some spots and some stripes and some fabrics from different collections as I tend to buy all from a particular line and would like to build a "scrappier' stash. I love the Fast Forward pattern so would get that too.

**nicke... said...

i am a proud blogger... i would spend that all on quilt patterns and solid fabrics! every single penny!

Nancy said...

I'm a non-blogger,who would buy
the fabrics of Dr Seuss.
My favorite fabrics, but can't afford,
I'd really like to use!

I don't have kids to sew for,
so this would be for me!
And I'd really really love it,
If I got them all for free!

Dana Gaffney said...

Non Blogger. I would buy some Westminster fabrics and maybe some Hoffman batiks to make quilts. Fat Quarter Shop is a candy store as far as I'm concerned, so I'm pretty sure that's what I would buy. ;)

Unknown said...

I'm a non blogger, and I ALWAYS have a 'cart' at FQ. Right now, I have the ADORABLE Sherbet Pips precuts, and Anne Kelle's Ready,Set,Go! Fabric, sweet strawberry Jam batman, they are SO Cute. I would go through 100$, way way too quickly... PLEASE give me the opportunity to show you JUST how quickly! (Also, because i'm so immature, i have to tell you that the captcha word I have to type... is 'wanged' *giggles*)

Shannon said...

This Non-Blogger would love a little Alexander Henry and a few other whimsical prints for making my toddler an outfit or two. I LOVE unwind(fast frwd too)---so I'd be getting that pattern and a few jelly rolls to make my first Start to Finish Quilt!

I could really use a little fabric therapy. Thanks for the chance to win!

Suburban Stitcher said...

I am a blogger, and I'd buy some stash-building fabrics. Things like stripes and dots...modern stuff...etc.

Caitlin said...

Blogger! I would pick different fabrics, I like Kaffee Fassett, Anna Maria Horner and Tula Pink. And solids. And maybe a ruler or two?

Evelyn Jackson said...

Blogger: I would buys lots of yummy fabric. I want to try more precuts. There are also a lot of notions that I need to top up on. How fun!

HRH Gigi said...

blogger - and I think I might have to go the route of a fat quarter bundle. Not sure which one but have never bought one so it might be about time. Hmmmm, which one?

Claudia said...

Blogger- What would I buy? for sure some new patterns, some moda bella solids, & a layer cake of Sherbet Pips.

Becky (My Fabric Obsession) said...

Blogger!
I'd love to get a lily & will jelly roll and some solids to make a baby version of your fast forward pattern {that i have ;)}.
Beyond that some Sanctuary (warm) and Bazaar Style for stashing!
