Fall – not too hot or cold, no mud, beautiful leaves and the beginning of great holidays.

My favorite season is spring! I love to start working out in the yard in the warm sunshine. Good for the soul!
My favorite season is spring :D
I love to see the flowers blooming in my garden :D
My favourite season is Autumn… love the cooler days and the late growth after the summer heat and harvesting fruit and vegetables.
Congratulations to all those who submitted quilts – they were all lovely and I would have liked to vote for more than 3!!
Autumn – love the colours, the cooler nights and the fact we can eat comfort food without feeling guilty :)
I think Spring is the best season. Life starts anew and gives us hope and joy.
I love fall! The colours and the coolness of the evenings.
I love the spring time .. Everything comes back to life and turns bright and sunny and the birds and animals come out to play.
We live in ohio and after being cooped up and lots of grey skies during the winter months spring time just makes everything feel a bit happier.
This week quilts are so pretty and unique I had a hard time choosing only three favorites.
I love fall love the colors of the trees in the mountains.
I absolutely love the crispness of winter – the frosty mornings and the bright sunny days that we get here in Southland NZ – you don’t know you’re alive until you’ve hit the cold air of a fresh winter day! And the bareness of the trees etc mean I really appreciate the spring growth that occurs and turns the world into a wonder of colour again!
Right now, summer is my favorite season because it is warm! I can get up early and ride my horse before it gets too hot, quilt during the day and sit on the porch in the cool of the evening enjoying the smell of freshly cut hay. Nights are the best…a zillion stars in the sky and coyotes singing just over the hill!
Ich mag den Frühling sehr gern, besonders, wenn die Tage immer länger werden… Auch den Wechsel der Jahreszeiten finde ich schön, es gibt immer wieder einen Neubeginn!
I like the spring, when everything is starting to bloom and the fresh colours of the leaves. When everything awakes in the garden, thats my favorite season
I like Spring and Summer. Love the long light sunny days, find winter and it’s lack of daylight very depressing. Great Giveaway!
Spring, is my favorite. Everything is just waking up from a long winters nap. Thx
My favourite is Spring, when THE sun starts to warm up THE air, everything gets lighter and there is à promise in THE air.
I love Autumm. All the colors are so nice. Time for quilting!!!
I love the spring – in Denmark where I live, we have a long dark winter and I long for the spring when the light returnes and the nature will wake up again
they are all wonderful and so inspiring, maybe I can someday make quilts in honour of my family members too <3
het mooiste seizoen is de lente.
Heerlijk van alle mooie ontluikende bomen en struiken genieten en het gekwetter van de vogels
My favorite season is Fall. I love how the air is just a little cooler and the colors are so beautiful!!
Spring! I love it because I can start wearing my flip flops again!!
I love the colours of spring, the fresh green of new growth & the bright yellows of all the daffodils which grow in our hedgerows……the promise of new life.
Winter is my favourite season. I’m from Australia and where I live summer is just too hot for me! Our winters are not so cold as the northern hemisphere and I just love to watch the rain fall when I’m snuggled up inside (with my quilting of course!).
My favorite season is Autumn. The change in everything– our schedules due to the return of school, the weather, the color in the trees, etc. reminds us that we too have the opportunity to change, reflect and become new on the other side of our troubles– no matter how small they may be.
Sorry but I don’t have a favorite season. I like the most the changing of seasons…..every time of year has it’s advantages and I can enjoy them all
My favorite season is Summer because I can be outside every day gardening.
I always long for Spring after a long bone chilling winter. So one would think that Spring would be my favorite season. But Fall is my favorite. Its the smell and color of the leaves, the hard work of the warmer months is over, you can sit back relax and enjoy your bounty. Taking a walk and just enjoying the sounds and colors of fall always take my breath away. Its a love affair I’ve had since a little girl.
I love the fall: fire in the fireplace, gazing out at the lake and sewing, sewing and more sewing!
My favorite seasons are summer and fall.I love sunny days and the long days .Fall because I love all that beautiful colors.
My favorite season is winter. It forces the whole family to slow down and stay inside in the evening. The four of us sit in the living room, in front of the fire, some are watching tv, some are on computers, some are knitting, but we are all together.
Hay trabajos precioso.
Saludos
I prefer summer. We don’t really have much of a spring or fall. I prefer the heat to the cold.
My favorite is spring, the nice green and yellow! And the days are brighter!
Fall is my favorite…the air is cool, crisp and clean, the sun is bright but not too hot…perfect for long trail hikes and fall planting. Thanks!
My favorite season would have to be spring. Love to see the hint of green in the trees
As I grow older I appreciate fall, the season of maturity and mellowness. Plus, it brings all those great colors as deciduous trees do their thing.
My favorite season has always been fall. When growing up in Arizona it was wonderful to feel the cool air on my cheeks while playing outside until right before dinner, only to have them burn a little in the warm house. As an adult living in Maine, I believe fall is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, with the trees changing colors and letting the world know they were burning too. I also love that it is a time of trick or treat, giving thanks, and feeling the anticipation of Christmas.
I love Fall. The colors are vibrant, it is not too hot, not usually too rainy, and the bugs are dying off!
I love the fall the best. After a hot summer, it’s so refreshing to feel the cool air again. I like the color changes in the trees and living in New Mexico the skies are filled with colorful hot air balloons every October for Balloon Fiesta. The cooler weather also really gets me in the mood to do a lot of quilting and sewing.
I love spring because it’s finally warm and all the beautiful flowers,
I love summer because it’s beach time and family reunion time
I love fall because it’s finally cool again and the colorful trees
I love winter because of the fresh smell of cool air and it’s holidays
I love every day no matter what season.
My favorite season is spring. A new beginning with my favorite flower daffodils leading the way!
I love Spring!! Everything is fresh and new!
I love Spring the best of all. Not too hot & not too cold. I enjoy teh suns rays on me warming my bones up as I tell the kids. I also love to see all teh spring flowers blooming and I relly love to watch as the grass turns green and the trees begin to leaf and bud..It is a renewal of life. A feeling of another chance to plant and garden. It brings me peace somehow..I know that sounds weird but it is the truth. conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
My favorite is fall. I love the cooling down of the weather and knowing that the holidays are upon us.
I love fall, the colors the feeling in the air.
SUMMER! SUMMER! SUMMER! I think summer is best because of cold beer, warm days, and care free driving!
OMG, not all on the same day!
Autum is my favorite season because orange is my favorite color and I love the colors of fall. Leaves are one of my go to subjects when I paint and or quilt.
