Hi Vicki
If I win, I would like number 1, smashing yellow!
I read your blog to see what you are up to. Bird watching, fabric concocting, field trips, etc.

[Sandy Jandik]

It's hard to believe that you can get such diverse color from the same parfait. I like number 2 best, because it has so many different colors.
I visit your blog partly because of the variety. I like to see the wonderful dye colors, the Field trip to other blogs, the quilts.

Hello Vicki,
I'd go for #6, love the purple and teal going on there.
I read your blog because I met you through 3 Creative Studios. And since stopping by, I like just everything you post. Field trips are really cool, as I got to be noted in one! And love the nature aspect too as we enjoy the big outdoors too!

[Mary in CO]

I love the fact that you post your fabrics, it gives me inspiration. I now want to do a parfait and see what I can come up with. I would love fabric #2. Very complex and lots of interesting bits to look at.

Hi Vicki,
Love your Whistlestop segments, especially the longarm eye candy. It's great to see other bird lovers out there who share their photos. I love the birdbox camera views. BTW, I like fabric #6.

hi vicki! congrats on the retirement! i would love to win #4. picking just one reason for visiting your blog is tough, but i'll go with "fieldtripping the web" posts.

[patty]

I would pick number 1. Love the colors! I check out your blog everyday to see how the birds are doing, what you have dyed and quilted, and I love your posts when you list all the links to different blogs and what people are doing.

[patty]

P.S. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! I know after you retire you will be so busy you will wonder how you ever found time to have a job!

[Diana W.]

Well I LOVE #9, but also #6. As far as why I come here....UH, to keep an eye on you! LOL, We are friends and I started reading your blog years ago and it is interesting. Exactly what a sewing/quilting blog should be. Love your tutorials, your awesome fabrics....I love it all. You do all the stuff I do and MORE! I wanna be YOU when I grow up! Keep doing what you do gal!

[Kathy Schattleitner]

Your blog is colorful and informative. I thought the parfait dyeing results were fabulous. I have never tried it. I would love #6

[Cheryl K.]

Number 10 Fire Engine Red for me! I read your blog for inspiration - colors and quilts. And we are big bird watchers so while we ponder bluebird houses for our yard I love to watch your residents!

[Dot Bare]

I love #3!! I like your field trip posts!

[elle]

I'm liking #6. I like your blog because you are not just another pretty face! LOL There is so much to learn from the things you post.

[Brenda]

My favorite is 2, no 5, no. 10! I visit your blog for the field trips and to see if your crossstitch will ever be completed. thanks for the chance to win.

[Karen]

I would like #10 and I like seeing just about all that you post - the bird nests, the field trips, I guess I have been checking in with you for a couple years now so I guess I just like checking in with you too :)

Vicki, Numbers 5 or 6 are the ones I am initially drawn to ... or maybe 2 or 7 .... well, in the long run, any would be most appreciated. You are an extremely generous person to do this. We should be sending you a retirement gift!!!!! I hope you get to enjoy your retirement. Hopefully we will get some enjoyment out of it too as you may be posting more tutorials and other ideas. I love your tutorials, Field Tripping (you do all the work of finding some great quilts, etc. and I just get to sit back and click away!!!), and the Bird Watch. I can tell when Spring has really arrived by checking to see if you are blogging about bird nests and such. Thanks for all of the above.

[Doreen]

#4 keeps drawing my eye. I love the Field Tripping the Web, the updates on the bluebirds which I have never seen one in person. Enjoy seeing all the things you make. The parfait dyeing just blew me away. I haven't done any dyeing but I would love to try that. I visit your blog every day. Love it.

[Meg Fowler]

I really need #1, Vicki ... perfect for my next quilt! And I come here 'cause I like you AND Field Tripping!

[Jewel]

I would love to have # 10 ... I subscribe to your blog because I love seeing all of the lovely fabrics... and art you create. You inspire me.

[Gina]

Happy M & M! I'm here regularly for

Friendship
Inspiration
Da Birds!

# 6 is calling out my name:)

LYG, G

[Sue Hecker]

I love them all, but if I had to pick, it would be #10. Why do I visit your blog? I feel like I know you. We enjoy a lot of the same things, including photography and birds. I'm amazed by your dyeing. And I do enjoy your Field Tripping reports.

[Elaine]

Hi Vicki, I love the fabric listed on #10, reminds me of a Tucson, Az sunset in the summer.

I love to visit your blog to see what's new on the net and to see the latest dye or quilt project you're working on. Thank you for sharing, Elaine

[Wanda]

#5 is my favorite-----why do I keep coming back to read your blog? Because EVERYTHING you write is interesting!

[Emma]

I would definitely choose #4! I love your field trips, especially the lomg-arm specific eye candy which is such inspiration.

[Giggles]

#7 is speaking to me. I come because of the fabric inspiration.
