Thanks for the chance to win!!

Summer is my favorite season…gardening is the best, next to quilting.
My favorite season is autumn. I grew up in the Midwest, but I’ve lived in Texas for 27 years. When the summer heat finally begins to dissipate and there’s reason to open the windows after months of air conditioning, it’s like heaven here.
Spring is my favorite season. I love the limey green leaves as they sprout and later turn into a deeper green.
My favorite season is Summer.
I love all the bright colors of summer flowers. I’d love to win your fabric bundle. Your hand dyed fabrics would make a lovely quilt depicting those summer flowers. Can’t you just smell their sweet aroma?
I love Springtime! The beautiful flowers and the many shades of green in the trees make for a grand renewal of life. The birds are busy making nests and critters start to roam.
Great quilts and great giveaway…..
My fav season is spring…we get over winter chills and get ready for blooms, birds etc…, oh i cannot wait for spring to arrive :-)
I love Spring. It is cool and green and I love to watch things coming up in the garden.
Fall is my favorite season. Its starting to get cooler and our garden is producing abundtantly, so we can can a lot.
I love winter, it is a time for rest and renewal before embarking on the new year, anticipation of spring and new beginnings.
Baseball season! That’s mostly spring and summer, but some fall, too. I’ve been a baseball fan all my life, but the beginning of a new season is always exciting.
Late summer. NZ is geographically located around the roaring forties and the weather is typically unsettled for most of the year. The end of summer tends to have the most settled weather. Right about now!
Spring is my favourite season. It is such a joy after the cold winter. I am especially looking forward to it after this particular snowy and stormy winter.
I can’t wait for spring! I love when all of the bulbs bloom because they get my quilting color ideas going. Winter is so bleak here I can’t get my color wheel going!
Outono.Quando as folhas caem para aquecer , alimentar e proteger as raizes para o inverno que se aproxima,e aí sim ,vem a primavera linda e florida em plenitude.Mas se não fosse o outono……Obrigada estou querendo experimentar estes tecidos .

Winter is my favorite season. I live in the desert, and the cold is such a treat and respite from the long, unforgiving summers.
Spring, as I love to see everything blooming and coming back to life.
I love fall the best , the temperatures are more comfortable and I love the fall Colors .thanks for the chance .
I don’t like hot or cold weather, so my favorite time of year is Spring and Fall … a little in between.
I actually love all seasons, but Spring is my absolute favorite. Love the new growth and all the colors of the this season.

I love spring….the renewal of all the plants and flowers, the warmer weather….just love it all.
My favorite season is winter, now. Summer is So darn hot, that the winter cool/cold is such a relief! Plus, winter’s here aren’t really long, so it’ easy to get through…
My favorite season is spring, I think, because I love the weather getting warmer and all the buds bursting out in the trees and my rose bushes. The season I miss the most is winter, because I am from Minnesota and I now live in California – I miss the crispness of the winter air and the ‘woman against the elements’ feeling I get from going about my daily life in a cold, snowy world.
I love fall-everthing about it. The shorter days, the cooler weather (I live in eastern San Diego where the summers are HOT), the leaves turning and dropping, the colors of rusts oranges, browns and purple, and lastly-apples-good crisp apples.
Perhaps because I am an October baby, autumn has always been my favorite season…but spring is looking better all the time!
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the feel and smell of the air. I love the colors not only of the changing foliage but also I think the flowers put on their BEST show! But…I have to say that I love the CHANGE that seasons bring and that’s why I live where they really do change.
Well, I can think of wonderful reasons to love every season, but I think late Spring is my very favorite because that is when we can start sitting on the deck and enjoy our hummingbird feeders. Last year was our first with the new deck and we had several hummingbirds that became so used to us being out there they would buzz around our heads and get right up into our faces, at times getting close enough to make us go cross-eyed to look at them. We look forward to the same delights this coming Spring and many more in the future. Thanks for a chance to win some beautiful quilting treasure, and thank you too for hosting all the contests and giving us such wonderful opportunities to see everyones beautiful quilts. Hugs…
I love fall! I love the cooler weather after hot summers, the color changes of the leaves, pumpkins and football. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Spring – love the warm sun and new flowers in the garden. It’s a wonderful time to work outdoors without it being too hot. Since I mostly have iris there is an abundance of color and lots of fragrance as well. Thanks for the chance to win the wonderful fabrics.
I love Fall! The colors are so beautiful. Thank you for the great giveaway.
My favorite season is fall. When the vegtables and fruit from my garden are all picked and either canned, frozen or packed for winter and the homemade tomato sauce is lining the shelves of my basement. The sweet smell of the fall leaves fills the air. Walking in the woods is so peaceful at this time of year. I tend to walk while breathing in that crisp fall air with my little mind planning all the quilting projects that I want to get done for Christmas and the pajamas that I will make for the kids to wear on Christmas Eve.
Just would love to win the fabric prize . My favourite season is Autum as all the hot weather which we are certainly having at the moment (40deg ) today. Autum brings beautiful weather and magic Autum colours. Iris
Autumn is my favorite season, with all those beautiful, rich colours against the blue of the sky. Gorgeous.
Thank you for the chance.
I love Fall with all the bright colors and the smell of apples and pumpkins!
Springtime is my favorite time. I love it because of all the flowers that come to life after the long winter. Everything is so fresh. Thanks for the opportunity to win those beautiful fabrics!
Fall is my favorite season. I just love the cold, crisp windy days when the leaves rustle as you walk through them. It is also the start of all the best holidays.
Since I live in Wyoming, summer is my favorite season. Most of the other seasons are cold!
Spring–LOVE when all things come to life and love to plant my garden!
Sometimes Spring is my favorite because my roses come gloriously to life — and then sometimes Autumn is my favorite because the colors are so rich. Actually my favorite is whatever season it is at any given time because there’s something wonderful to like about each one.
I love Spring with all the colors coming back after Winter! Everything blooming, the earth wakes up after it’s long nap.
I usually love summer the best, simply because I hate the cold (unless I’m having a hot flash, that is!). :-) I don’t mind late spring and early fall, but as soon as I have to start wearing a sweater or a jacket, I’m hoping for summer again!
If you live in south Georgia, there is only one season–HOT!!! We do get a few cool days a year, but very few. I”d love to have seasons.
SUMMER….the hotter, the better…….think I must have been a lizard in an earlier life. :-)
I like summer the best because I want to be warm. I am freezing today and we don’t even have snow.
Spring is my favorite season. I love to watch the new crocuses poke their heads out from under the spring snow
Spring because the colors are starting to pop out after drab winter.

Spring is the best. We get to see more shades of green that I can ever imagine. And I want to add each of them to my latest quilt project!
So hard to decide…
I think spring is my favorite… I love getting out and starting to plant my garden! I’ve already gotten peas, radishes, onions, kohlrabi, tomatoes, and some fresh herbs planted! (I live in central Texas….)
The best weather, best time to travel and amazing colors fall.
Visiting grandkids, blueberries to pick, super fresh tomatoes, summer.
New leaves of bright green, tulips, and warm sun, spring.
Quiet time to quilt, snuggle cats, and hot cider, winter.
How can I pick? I love all seasons
My favorite season is Fall. I like fall because it cools down after a hot summer and the colors are great. It is also a time when we can have a back yard bonfire and relax.
