Thank you everyone for your support and very nice comments. After much encouragement and the responses to my stories about whey we make quilts I was finally able to collect my stories behind 85 of my favorite quilt. Every quilt has a story and with the help of my dear friends Judy Friedman and Kayleen Hardy, I have finally put them on paper in my new book,
“Reason for Quilts”.
Writing a book feels kind of like having a baby and as I deliver this newest addition to my family and yours, I am letting go of my oldest baby girl. She is spreading her wings and leaving for college, a day I looked forward to with mixed feelings. We raise our children to be independent but it is difficult to let go! This summer we have been engaging in a lot of family activities to make those amazing memories that we will all cherish when the rush of the fall comes back and Delfina leaves for University.
Seems like only yesterday I was holding her hand and putting her on a ride at the County Fair.
Now she is off on a solo walk.
Our family loves the County Fair. Everyone in the family has a favorite food. We buy everyone’s favorite and then we pass it around and share! We are especially fond of Funnel Cakes, corn dogs, and an all time favorite; a huge order of French fries… and let’s not forget the ice cream – YUM!
Do you have a favorite? I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!!
For Spring Market this year all the Moda designers made a little project. While I was deciding what to make I was watching my favorite show, Project Runway. I can see myself being one of those crazy designers. I guess you could call that my guilty pleasure right now. Maybe there should be a show like that about quilt designers getting ready for market? An inside peek at how things get done, putting up and taking down the booth, pulling it all together for schoolhouse teaching and making a project. Wouldn’t that be fun? I really like this crazy busy fun Market time.
My project was a handy bag, it looks little but when you turn it inside out, it magically becomes a BIG one. Watch the video below for how useful it can be for fabric shopping trips!
In addition you can download the pattern for the bag on the Laundry Basket Quilts Website.
I find that my everyday life provides a huge amount of inspiration. Human connections are a big part of my inspiration. Nature, music, antiques, and history are all areas that I enjoy and can draw from. Inspiration is always around me and I try to pay attention and incorporate it into my work. I hope my fabrics and designs inspire you in your quilting.
I recently visited Montana to do some teaching. What a beautiful state! I would love to take my entire family back there sometime to visit. I would love to get in the car with the entire family and road trip, there is so much that I haven’t seen in our beautiful country! Definitely on my Bucket List. At one point we were driving through a field of yellow full of cows. I stopped to take a photo of the cows and since no one was around I “moo” at them, they looked at me and “moo” back! So adorable.
What things are on your bucket list? Share your bucket list and there just might be a bucket of goodies heading your way, including my new book, fabrics from my Indian Summer line, fabric pencils, a custom seam ripper, buttons, my favorite Aurifil thread and my calendar (Bucket not included). Leave me a comment telling me what’s on your bucket list and I will use Mr Random Number Generator to choose a winner. I will announce the winners on my October 1st post. Leave a comment on THIS POST anytime before midnight EST, September 30th to be eligible to win our amazing bucket! A special thanks goes out to Moda for helping me put the newest fabric from Indian Summer in this bucket!
All the Moda designers are talking about the County Fair and participating in the blog hop. Here is the schedule of blogs that are in the hop and a link to them on their day. Everyone is doing a giveaway of some sort so be sure and stop by all of them!

On my bucket list is a trip to Ireland!
Joyce in MI
Love the post and would love to win the bucket – so pick me
Brilliant! I love the bag!
My bucket list runneth over. I would love to start my own business.
I am excited to check out your new book. Thanks for sharing!
I have a huge bucket list! I would love to go to Ireland & Australia with my husband, visit all the major league baseball fields, go watch Notre Dame play a homecoming game, and take a quilting shop trip around the Midwest! I could go on for days! Thanks for a chance to win!
My ‘wee’ Katie is off to University this month too! How did those years fly by so quickly?? One of my many bucket list items is to return to Cannon Beach in Oregon – love the wildness of that shoreline. Wrapped up in a blanket, sun on my face, toes in the sand and feeling very peaceful – heaven!!
Love your ‘big bucket’ of quilting heaven!
My dad recently got me hooked on cruises so my bucket list goes something like cruise the Panama Canal, cruise back to Alaska, cruise to Hawaii and at some point and time I want to go to Disney World.
Hello Edyta,
a realy new thing on my bucket list is of course your book,and as always lots of fabrics-I’d like to see your new line ‘in real’ it has to be fantastic!
greetings from germany
Britta
I would love to be enter into your give-away….I’m a newbie to quilting and this blog hop is very exciting to me.
My bucket list includes: seeing the fall leaves on the east coast (I live in CA), visiting far away continents (Europe, Australia, Africa…), going to every National Park in the U.S., learning more computer technology. Those are some of the things I have on my bucket list.
I’m having fun with the Moda County Fair Blog Hop. Thanks for putting it together and giving me a chance to win!
Right at the top of my bucket list is to see the Northern Light. I’m in Australia, so I will have to journey a long way – but I’m sure it will be worth it. Thank you for the fabulous giveaway prize.
I would love to take my little girl to Europe to see all (okay, maybe only a few of) the countries and places that she is fascinated by. What a fun bucket of stuff you’re giving away! Thanks for the chance to win! Aurifil thread is my favorite.
Hi Edyta–My bucket list is pretty short right now. My husband has leukemia, and he is receiving chemotherapy. He is halfway through the treatments and things are looking pretty good. The very first thing on my bucket list is to help him through this very difficult time, with a smile on my face and strength in my step. I believe that every tragedy has a “silver lining”. The “silver lining” for this one is that he and I have become closer than ever, and we are planning for the future. When his chemotherapy is completed and when he has regained his strength, an item on OUR bucket list is to go on a cruise. We haven’t yet picked the destination–it almost doesn’t matter, just as long as we get to go together! Another item on our bucket list is to make our very own wedding quilt (yes, he quilts, too!). We have been married only 4 years, but we are still newlyweds and we deserve a wedding quilt.
I appreciate the gift of the pattern for the bag–I will, when I have more time, make at least one for myself, and maybe one for my mom. And I really hope I win the prize! This blog hop is so fun and just what I needed right now.
So, thank you again for your wonderful blog, the pattern and the chance to win a very nice prize!
Nelle F.
Just in case you don’t have my email address, it is: nellebelles@gmail.com
I don’t want to miss out due to “technicalities” should I be one of the lucky winners! Thank you again for the chance to win!
Love and prayers to you and your hubby. Quilting together that is so wonderful…doing what you love with the one you love. When you guys finish your wedding quilt(I would love to see it) maybe send a picture to Edyta so we can all see it on her blog. Love, happiness and prayers for me…Tammy :0)
ooops! I meant to say, from me.
Thank you for sharing your photos with us. My big son has just gone into the Sixth form at high school and my other son has started in Reception class so I know can see him go through school all over again. You are right it only seems like yesterday when they are little and then they are grown. In my bucket list I would always have fabric and buttons! I love buttons. They always enhance any project. Take care x
Thank you for sharing the pattern. It looks beautiful! On my bucket list would be a trip to Paris with my family to see the Louve. Nice to dream. Thanks again!
Love the Indian summer. Love your designs and fabrics too! Not sure what’s on my bucket list– I’ve done pretty much what I’ve wanted to do, but if I had to dream–I’d probably want to take a trip to Europe and in France – go to the Louvre. I’d love to see all the original paintings of Monet. Then I’d have to have some of the best pastries I could get in the bakeries!! thanks so much!
What an adorable ‘little’ bag. I love it!! Thank you so much!
I have admired your quilts and fabric lines for many years. I am especially drawn to your batiks since I am a batikaholic. On my bucket list is a trip to Bali where my favorite fabrics are produced.
On my bucket list is a trip for weeks in the US and Canada , maybe soma day Australia too and meet great quilters.
I love your blog and the small big bag pattern is great.
Thanks for the generous giveaway.
Hum well my bucket list : Except a long list of quilt that I want to do and offer, I wish to go back tu the US for an other road trip with my family (as you said a lot of things to see), finish the remodeling in my house (why is there always something to do?), prepare the kids B’days, find/prepare surprises.
Have a good week-end.
Hi Edyta,
there are so many things on my bucket list, most are uninteresting to tell and have to do with housekeeping… The most important one is to design many more small quilts for on my wall.
Love your designs and fabrics!
Jeanneke
I am enjoying this blog hop, what a great idea and thanks for all the giveaways.
One think on my bucket list is to take a cruise around Antarctica, although lots of very warm cloths would be needed
Visiting Canada & going to where the Amish are is on my bucket list.
My bucket list is as follows: using up most of my stash to make some quilts for giving away to charity, riding a horse, taking a vacation with only me and my dogs, and traveling to Hawaii! Sounds doable and not too exciting, but I’m pretty happy with my life right now!
This new book looks so good!!! And you’re pictures bring me back to the States..,
oh how I miss my American live….
A big smile.Just a perfect bag för ….yes for an hour in a quiltshop.
Thank you so much
Ulla
My bucket list includes the following
- learn to machine quilt
- finish off all my UFO’s
- visit your beautiful country again
- go up in a hot air balloon

Funny you should mention bucket list. When I saw the cover of your new book, the first thing I thought of was that I have had the pattern and templates for the quilt on the cover for over a year and making that quilt is still on my bucket list.

Hello!! I love ypur work and I love your sense of humor; on my list of desires is going to Argentina, but long enough to know most of what they teach you in tourist travel.. Besiiiiitos.
I love a bucket list and have been checking off on mine! But one really big one to me is to visit Italy! Something about it seems so romantic and lots of good food
Love the market bag…off to get the pattern thanks!
Love your blog! Right now my bucket list consists of a log home in Arkansas full of quilts I’ve made!
On my bucket list is to caravan around Australia when I retire, to appreciate and see my own Country. By the way those cows are adorable. Thanks for the Giveaway!
Bucket list??? Um where do I start, firstly a white Christmas, which is funny as I absolutely hate to the cold my kids laugh at this. I whinge and moan all winter. I LOVE the sun. Next, well win lotto haha, well the bucket probably isn’ t big enough. Thanks for the chance to win. Cheryl
I love your quilts, there is a detail to them that makes me want to make them. Not sure what that details is but keep it up. At the top of my Bucket List was to have a White Xmas, I live in Australia, never cold at Chrissie time, with my kids. We have done that. Next on my list is to do it again with the kids and maybe again when they have kids.
Love your bag!
Well my bucket list is full to over flowing. The main items are to do more travelling and see more of my own country, then spend lots of time finishing all those sewing projects.
Love your new book! I’ll share just one of the many things on my bucket list and that is to go to France this next year and see my son and little grandson! Reading the county fair adventures from site to site has been so much fun. I grew up from in a family of 4H’ers so bringing back those memories has so enjoyable.
My bucket list would include, making quilts for all ten of my great nieces and nephews, Organizing all my fabric, finishing all my ufos, taking a road trip with
quilting friends, and teaching my granddaughter to quilt. Will be looking forward
to reading your book, congratulations on its completion.
My bucket list is fairly small right now – I would like to take a cruise to Alaska but not fly there. I want to start the cruise here in FL, go through the Panama Canal and then up the coast to Alaska and then home again.
Thank you for this great give away – love your new tote!
On my bucket list is spending the night in a castle!
Ooooooh, just discovered your blog and I love it!!
Don’t really have a bucket list but maybe I should start one! Mostly it would be places I want to visit as I love to travel. Next big trip will be Paris with sisters to celebrate a big milestone birthday next year!!
Love the cow pictures.
I adore your project and thank you very much for it! I am for sure going to make my sister one of these – she would love to take it to her local flea market in FL that she loves.
My bucket list – I did one last year – a hot air balloon ride! so fun and exciting! Now its to hike and explore Alaska! thanks again!
Let’s see one thing on my bucket list is to go for a ride in a hot air balloon! I am learning to quilt so I would love to at least make one complete quilt! I haven’t given my bucket list much thought I guess because I really can’t think of anything else right now!
Thanks for sharing and a chance to win a great prize!
The bucket list includes taking an Edyta Sitar class- it would be great! You should publish your upcoming visits to stores/guilds on your website, then I could sign up for a class if you were ever nearby! Also…London and Paris visits are on the list.
My bucket list goes something like this: First I would like to take my daughter, son, daughter-in-law, and husband to Disney. Second, I would like to go to Market with my best friend. Finally, I would like to go to Hawaii with my husband. Ah! all those sound so relaxing in their own special way. BUT your bucket could bring me hours of joy too. Thanks for sharing!
on my bucket list? visit the rock and roll hall of fame….oh and finish all my quilt projects….LOL
Love your picture from Montana. Thanks for the bag pattern. I enjoy looking at your work.
I have a long bucket list but one of the things on that list is to attend the big show in Houston one of these years.
My bucket list is all about travel. I’ve been to Europe, but I would love to return now that I’m a quilter. That has opened a whole new perspective, so I dream of returning to Paris with a new eye! Thanks you for all you do for us quilters — I love your patterns — they are so beautiful!
Congrats on your book! It looks great. As does your fabric. I’m a homeschooler, and I, too, would love to pack up the van with everyone and go on a tour of Country, visiting all the Historical sites along the way.
Loved the video of the little/big tote – so cute! Please enter me in your giveaway and thanks for the opportunity.
Oops! Forgot my bucket list! My grandson (11 yo) and I are planning on going on a zipline canopy tour next year. We are both so excited!
Oooh I love your bag pattern, thankyou so much for sharing it with us! On my bucket list is to win a ribbon for a quilt (in any show, doesn’t have to be a big one LOL!).
Great bag…How clever! Love all your designs and photos.
Clever bag! Bucket list item? That’s tough, but I’d love to visit Greece! And become a jogger. Too bad I can’t just snap my fingers for either!
My bucket list has to include a trip to the UK- want to see gardens in England, the Highlands in Scotland and the gorgeous countryside in Ireland.
On my bucket list . . . to go to Vermont in the fall. I would love to see the autumn colors there. Also in my bucket is to go to Denmark to see where my grandfather grew up before coming to the US. Love your fabrics and your ability to combine them. Your quilts are truly beautiful.
I love your work and have just purchased your previous book, Friendship Strips and Scraps! The Farmhouse Quilt on the cover just drew me in and I hope to start it soon! Your new book looks like it will be amazing as well! My bucket list is really all about family..family visits…family travel…family hugs…family quilts! And today, I will go to my sewing corner and make quilts for my family!
Thanks for the pattern! and I love your new book!
Dorothy
What a gorgeous looking book, I can see that sitting on my coffee table already! As for my bucket list…….I’d like to learn to sing. Alas, I was not blessed with a singing voice, but what a wonderful skill to have and be able to express yourself in song.
Thanks Edyta!
I’ll narrow the bucket list down to just quilting. I want to learn applique and make a beautiful applique quilt.
That bag is really something! Congrats on the book & thanks for the giveaway!
watching my kids get married, travel with my family, and also travel alone with my wonderful husband. so many things i would love to do, or shall i say accomplish. Thanks, your book looks awesome, and you have a generous prize, thanks!!
I love your quilts. Bucket list; never thought too much about it. I’m an “older” grandma I would like to be there when the grandkids graduate.
Can’t wait to get a copy of your new book. Every quilt I make has special meaning. Dorky bucket list item just checked off for me — the Mackinac Bridge walk!!!, New England in the Fall, A Buggy Barn Quilt Show, teaching my Grandkids to roller skate( I guess I would have to get some grand kids first!!!). Throw my name in the Bucket— I love to win….
I just love your style and colors that you use in your quilts. Each time I look at any of them I feel like my heart sings!
Hmmm, bucket list? So many things I still need to do, but I guess the #1 thing on my list is to volunteer my time on the Mercy Ship off the coast of Africa.
Your designs are a breath of fresh air! Congrats on your newest book!
your new book and fabric line surpass the smells and tastes of the country fair! On my bucket list is to learn to ride a horse and jump the rails and stonewalls of the wonderful rolling hills of western mass. our daughter is an accomplished horsewoman and I would like to be riding along side her.
What a great give away.
I think my bucket list is rather small.
I would love to see Ireland before I kick the bucket.
I also have lot of quilt and hooked rugs I would like to make.
Congratulations on your book.
What a great idea for a shopping bag. Congrats on your new book. I would love to be able to sew all day long everyday.
Edyta,
I cannot believe that your daughter is going off to college! It seems like just yesterday when she was a little girl helping to man your booth at local quilt shows. Now that you are famous, I miss seeing you at all the shows but I am so happy for your success! You always were a nice person who had wonderful tips and techniques to share and worked so hard.
What’s on my bucket list? Well I went to a beautiful outdoor wedding up North this summer and people were Zip lineing in the background and I thought “wouldn’t that be fun!” On the other hand, I AM SCARED of heights! So maybe not!
Your give-a-way looks wonderful-I hope I win!
Your book looks super. One thing on my bucket list is to travel to Australia seeing the country and quilts shops as I traveled around. The more I learn about the country, its history and people the more I would love to go there.
Thanks for the really neat bag pattern! That will be lots of fun to make. On my bucket list is to learn to free-motion quilt! As a homeschooler with 5 boys, time seems to be at a premium right now. I am enjoying the time with them and know that all too soon, they’ll be grown and I’ll have all kinds of time on my hands!
Just in case I win, my e-mail address is fourseasonsfarm at windstream dot net.
Thanks!
As an English teacher (retired) I loved that you are creating memories and sharing the stories behind the quilts. I can’t wait to read it and I want you to know that your books really inspire me to think outside the usual parameters of my stash…. more reason to make your bag and buy more fabric! Your batik line is “delicious” to look at and dream about. Thank you.
I am a full-time RVer, so I am enjoying some of the things on my bucket list now. My only regret is there is never enough room for all the fabric I would like to have. But of course there is always room for one more bucket full
Congratulations on your new book! I know how hard it is to be happy and sad at the same time sending your first off to college…wait!…next comes other firsts for everyone. My oldest was married this past weekend and it was very emotional.
Love your Country Fair project and your video snippet…adorably funny!
Thanks for the opportunity!
Colleen
Congratulations on your book & the fabric!
I’d love to visit the country too
This book sounds like a winner. I’m currently working through Hop to It and am becoming an applique addict.
Thanks for your tote pattern and for the giveaways! To do it is definitly on my bucket list. What else is on it? To go to a quilt market and meet all moda designers;-)
Greetings from germany

I would love to see all 50 states and experience the uniqueness of each one.
Congratulations on your book!! Taking my family on a trip to Hawaii is on my bucket list. Thanks for the giveaway!!
I would love to visit all 50 states and experience the uniquenss of each one.
I love your fabrics and your new book looks like a must have. One of the things on my bucket list is to take my granddaughters on a road trip to colorado. Thank you so much for everything you do.
Congratulations on the new book. Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. What’s on my bucket list? Going to Hawaii and Australia!
Keep up the beautiful work!!!
Thank you!
I can empathize on your child growing up. My son just started college and I miss the easy younger days in playgrounds! Congrats on your book and for admitting you moo at cows when no one is looking, I think secretly we all do. On top of my bucket list is seeing the Northern Lights in Alaska.
On of the things on my bucket list was to have a quilt of mine hanging in a quilt shop. This past year I was lucky enough to have three hanging in my local shop. One of the other things would be to go to quilt market.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Going to Quilt Market someday is on my bucket list. And when I go I would have to make a “purse that becomes a bag”!
Edyta, I so enjoyed the class you taught last year inClawson, MI with the GreatLakes quilt guild on Friendship triangles. It’s on my bucket list to make more quilts like this. As far as travel is concerned, I’d love to go to Alaska and across the Canadian Rockies by train. I’m looking forward to reading your new book.
I love your purse, the video was so cute and true!
My bucket list includes hitting the road with te hubby and the dog and visiting all the US has to offer in history and beauty and some quilt shops alongthe way.
Thanks for your project, looking forward to your book.
A wonderful new book and the bag is fabulous, perfect for Shop Hops. Just love the cow photo!
I would think too that setting up for market would be exciting, am glad there’s so many of you great designers out there that get all the fun stuff ready for us!! My bucket list includes finishing all the projects I have started and a trip to Alaska! Thanks for the shop hop, I’m really enjoying it! Good Luck to your daughter, that’s the hardest part of being a Mom is sending your kids off!
You’re quilts are amazing and I loved your Quilt Market video! I’m off to take a machine quilting class right now! Fun!
I don’t know what’s on my bucket list. I’ve never really thought about it. I guess all I can think of off the top of my head is that I’d like to go to some really tropical resort type place like maybe Hawaii or the Carribean. And I’d like to go to Australia and Europe. So I guess travel would be at the top of my list.
Love your quilts and designs! I would love to see New England in the Fall and visit wineries in the Napa Valley.
Your quilts and quilting are to die for, you are so talented.
On my bucket list first is to become a better quilter, so that one will maybe never be done. But other then that I’d love to visit Quilt market, spring or summer I’m not fussy, I just love to see all the beautiful quilts in one place and meet all the people that made them. Thanks for a chance to win.
Going to Maine and Alaska are definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for the great giveaway! And congrats on your new book!
Travel is at the top of my bucket list too. I was lucky enough to visit Europe twice and would love to go back. I would also love to see more of the US particularly the East Coast. I am loving this blog hop!
I would love to not have to work and tend to my garden all day. I want to leave behind many heirloom flowers for my family. Thank you for the chance to win.
I would like to visit Montana as well, Switzerland with Bernina’s factory, and make the beautiful Hop To It! quilt. Thank you for the chance for a giveaway.
At 58 I’m new to quilting but not new to the love of being creative and using textiles as my medium. I too love Project Runway and love that my son, now grown and children of his own has memories of the sound of my sewing machine late into the night finishing up something I was making for us to wear to ______ fill in the blank. Now my granddaughter Lindsey at age 12 is very creative and loves our sewing lessons. I’m so excited to show her the world of quilting. I would love to go to Houston next year and take Lindsey along! Love your site and I will return often.

Traveling is the largest part of my bucket list. I want to go explore New England, Italy and attend a major quilt show. I am on my way back from visiting Paducah and the quilt museum there, so that has been checked off my list.
Thanks for the bag pattern, I love it.
What a great blog you have-my first time to read it! I know the college-leaving feeling. I wanted so much for my two daughters but could hardly function for awhile after we left them at college. All went well and I pray the same for your daughter. I had to keep really busy that fall & winter and that helped. I know you will be busy!! My husband wants really bad to go to Alaska so I do share his bucket list item. He has a lot more things on his list!! I guess if I pick one thing it would be to build a large family room which would be just for our 8 grandchildren when they visit. Our house is too small for all of them to run around and enjoy being together. It is doable so maybe we can work on that! Keep designing these wonderful fabrics & patterns for us to enjoy. Appreciate all your hard work! Thanks and I love your Grandma story.
Oh I love your bag. I can imagine that conversation happening with my husband too.
On my bucket list is to travel around Australia. I am an Aussie and have lived in Queensland my whole life. I have been fortunate to see most of my home state but would love to see the rest of the amazing country I live in.
Cute project! And I need your book. It looks wonderful! My bucket list is basically made up of travel. I would love to visit the lands my ancestors came from, Norway and Germany. And I would love to visit Iceland. But most of all I would love to live in Alaska for one year to experience all of their seasons. Love that state! Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway.
Having a beach house in SC and visiting Jackson Hole again.
I love your “Handy Bag”!
Thanks!
Edyta, your new book looks wonderful! As for my bucket list one thing on it is to visit all 50 states. We only have about ten left so I think it is time to put something else on the list!
My bucket list includes a trip to the Sisters quilt show in Oregon. We live on the other side of the country so it would be quite a trip, but I’m hoping I do get to see it one day.
Your market booth looks amazing!
Your new book looks awesome! My bucket list includes Aurifil threads…they don’t sell any locally for me. Anxious to try your new bag…it is beautiful!
Bucket list? Paris, scuba diving, sell my quilt patterns, graduate school. I’m sure there’s more. It’s too early to pull it from my brain, though.
Your new book look lovely. And your bucket seems full of wonderful goodies. On my bucket list would be a trip to Houston and Tokyo festival of quilts. And of course some lovely Japanese fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway
I have been working on my bucket list. Hawaii is the next item I want to cross off.
The date being close to 911, on my bucket list would be to visit the memorial in Shanksville, PA where Flight 93 went down. I feel that these people were really and truly heroes. God bless America!
Love your bag, and the funny video! On my bucket list, so many things, but one is going to Houston before I get too old, and I just sent off my check for a tour bus yesterday. I’m going! See you there.
My bucket list includes FINALLY getting to the top of Mt. Washington (long story…train broke…we went down backwards)…seeing the Grand Canyon, going to Iceland and buying yarn from there, and some othre things, too! Your prize would be woderful to win. Thank you! (p.s. I love the watering can above the bucket!)
My youngest son started college in our town this fall so that he could live at home (much cheaper). Well two of his dearest friends chose a college about four hours away and my son decided this week to transfer at the end of the semester! I am heartbroken but it’s his life, not mine.
One thing on my bucket list is to become a published writer and to live in the secluded hills of Arkansas, yep Arkansas. Thanks for the giveaway!
On my bucket list…hmmmmm…let’s see. A trip to New York City with my sisters would do it!! We’d have way too much fun. Thanks for sharing your bucket list and I’d sure love to win that bucket!!
Looking forward to seeing your new book. My bucket list includes Hawaii, one of the quilt markets, Alaska, a quilting cruise would be fun and I think Germany. I understand they have a Christmas market (so to speak) where you shop outside in the cold and they have all kinds of food and “beverages” to drink to stay warm as you shop.
I enjoy hearing your stories about family. I would love to pack up a RV and tour the United States with my family. We did a family trip to Chicago for the first time and had so much fun seeing “city life.” We were amazed at the hugeness of the museums and what we learned there. I would love to experience more new things like that with my family.
Getting to Quilt Festival in Houston is definitely near the top of my list. I love to travel and would like to go to Italy and the south of France as well.
Your video with the purse/tote was great!
Although I haven’t thought much about a bucket list, maybe it is time to make one. My husband and I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, on a cruise (maybe – I don’t want to get sea sick), and take a 3-week trip out west. At the top of my list, though, is to make lots of quilts!
Two things on my bucket list are going to Europe and finishing some of my UFO’s.
“Things I Want To Have Time For When I Finally Retire” is my bucket list … lots of piecing, applique, quilting, knitting, embroidery, gardening, quilt shows and naps! I’m hoping for a long and healthy retirement to do all those things full time.
Your book looks amazing! And so does that bucket! Thanks for the opportunity.
I would love your book and there is so much inspiriation all around us if we just took a minute to look,, I am loving this Fair hop,, my husband supports my quilting and not only that he is my hand quilter..He is quite good too..
Maggey
I would love to take my two sisters on a road trip out west.Of course we would stop at fabric shop. It would be fun to see our country.
One of the things on my bucket list is to learn how to quilt. I’m an avid cross-stitcher and crafter – my mom is a quilter. And I am inspired to learn this art
) I think this bucket of goodies would be the perfect thing to help me cross this off the list. Thanks for the giveaway!!!
Congratulations on your great accomplishment. What a fantastic looking book. There’s so many things on the top of my bucket list. Foremost, is a trip to Ireland.
White water rafting is on my bucket list! Congratulations on your book.
Love the book and fabrics! There’s many things on my bucket list, but the one thing that would be my favorite would be to take my son to Korea to learn about his culture. I was a adopted when I was 3 and my parents took me back when I was 17. I would love to do that for my son, so he knows the other part of himself. Thank you!

At the top of my “Bucket List” is a visit to Australia closely followed by a trip to Hawaii. My husband and I would also like to buy an RV and travel across the United States. (Not to sure how that will work since I would have to bring all of my sewing and cross stitch supplies along…..there won’t be any room for us in the RV!)
My bucket list would inlcude a trip to Italy. My mother had inherited some rental property there and I would just love to see the place as well as Italy itself. I would like to take my mother and my husband but my mother would not fly. Oh well, I can always dream and fantasize. Some day, who knows? Thank you for a chance to win the bucket full of goodies. What a neat prize to win.

Congratulations on your new book! I just recently went to the Caribbean, which was pretty awesome. I would like to go to Switzerland sometime.
I want a bucket full of fabric.
On my bucket list: I want to go the Houston International Quilt show! First I need to save up some serious cash so I can bring home lots of fabulous stuff!
Can’t wait to read your new book! Alaska and the Northern Lights are at the top of my bucket list, followed by Charleston and Savannah. From one coast to another!
One thing on my bucket list is to finish my Dear Jane quilt and other UFO’s. I would also love to travel to Europe. Thank you for the pattern. I am looking forward to getting your new book!
We love to travel this great country and so my bucket list is full. But one for sure is Alaska. PattiO
I want a bucket full of fabric!!!!!
Those cows- so graphic, the black against the field! Top of my bucket list is living in Paris for three months – visiting all the museums, shopping at flea markets, eating French food, just being part of it all for a while. Better learn some French first…. Love the expanding bag, too-perfect for a trip to the flea market!
Congrats on your book! I wish you the best! On my bucket list, the first item is to rend an RV and hit all the quilt shops up the West Coast. That would be awesome
Congrats on your new book, looking forward to seeing it. My bucket list is to go to Sisters quilt show and travel anywhere in USA. Thanks for taking part in this great Moda give away.
On my bucket list : Go to spring market! I would love to meet all the designers and see how it all works.
Your book looks great !!!! On my bucket list I would love to spend one whole summer vacation traveling with my family, with no particular destination!!!! Thanks again
Lovely photos! Your book sounds like a great gift for my grandma. She’s going to be 93 and her arthritis keeps her from quilting but she loves to read stories behind the quilts.
Hhmm…one of the things I’d like our family to do, when my 4 yr old is older, is go on a road trip out west. I’ve never seen the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.
I’m not really sure what a bucket list is exactly. My guess is – all the quilts I want to make are in my bucket list. Congratulations on your new book, how wonderful to be blessed with this talent. Thank you for such a wonderful give away!
Thanks for the cute post – I’ve really enjoyed reading eveyone’s Country Fair stories. You are really a good photographer too. I’ve always wanted to travel to Giverny in France to see Monet’s gardens (you know – the water lily paintings) – that’s about the only travel item in my bucket. What’s filling it up, however, is my wish to get caught up – no UFO’s – wouldn’t that be nice?! Thanks for the giveaway & have a nice weekend.
On my bucket list is to travel with my husband. Thanks for the chance to win.
The book looks wonderful, can’t wait to read it. I really like the way you mix your batiks and traditional fabrics. Bucket list? Quilting cruise would be nice-sew, eat, no dishes!
Congratulations on your new book! And thank you for the pattern!
See you soon, Val
My bucket list includes Paducah and Houston at some point! Thank you for the reversible bag pattern, cute idea.
Could winning the bucket be on my bucket list?
Love the pics of your little girl growing up.
My bucket list – have an uncluttered house at some point before I die!!! My boys, including the big one, are slobs!!! Seriously. It drives me nuts. Also, use up as much of my fabric stash as possible.
your new book looks fabulous! It’s so hard to see your children leave for college. I must say you will get used to the quiet and the house being a bit cleaner and then they are back home with all their belongings before you know it. As for my bucket list I would love to see a black bear and moose in the wild and to take my husband on a trip to visit the western US. Thank you for sharing your bucket with us.
I didn’t realize that Delfina was the same age as my oldest! It’s a bittersweet seeing them leave! Hope you are well.
A couple things on my bucket list:
- Finish “Mountain Top” for the guild challenge by November.
- Finish “Tree Farm” from workshop summer 2010.
- Go on a retreat with girlfriends.
- Clean my sewing “studio”. HA HA HA!!!
Happy fall!
b.
I guess tops on my bucket list would be a new bathroom and a new kitchen – after that a new Bunmaker woodstove from Vermont. Then – who knows – using up all my stash? Dream on…..never in a thousand years!!
On my bucket list is setting foot in each of the 50 states. I have 5 left and no, they are not Alaska or Hawaii.
I love the bag you made- with multiple sizes:) What a great and sneaky idea! Thanks for making me laugh this morning:) I love Funnel Cakes from the fair, too!!! Yummy!
Top on my bucket list would be a trip to Italy. Your new book looks wonderful, can’t wait to get my hands on it! Thanks for the pattern and the giveaway.
On the top of my bucket list: taking an Alaskan cruise.
Congrats on your new book!
On my bucket list???? I think I would have on it: go to Ireland again.
Thank you for the chance to win!
So looking forward to your new book, and seeing the new line of fabrics. At the top of my bucket list is to be able to have a nice little cottage on one of the smaller lakes here in NH and be able to sew and quilt to my heart’s content.
The 1st thing on my bucket list has now changed…….. your bucket of ‘goodies’ is now number one. Do we get the bucket too? Only joking !
I’d love to visit America, stay for one year & attend every quilt show, with a credit card with no limit! Just imagine the fabric stash I’d have.
What a beautiful shopping bag
You make life fun! My bucket list includes a big time family vacation someplace warm & relaxing, big house to stay in where all my kids & grandkids can come at the same time…fun!
Visiting New Zealand is on the top of my bucket list. I have wanted to visit NZ for over 10 years and I think 2013 is going to be THE year.
Thank you for the chance to win!
I know how you feel about letting your children grow and spread their wings. My youngest is in her second year of college and the house is sooo quiet.
I’m sure your new book is wonderful just like all your quilt designs. Thanks for the giveaway.
Congratulations on your amazing book! My bucket list contains a wish to visit my dear blog friend in France.
Wow, I am soooo making that bag!=) As for my “bucket list”, my hubby is from Fiji and one day I would love to afford to take him back there to visit all of his friends and family.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I have many items on my bucket list. One of them is to buy a long-arm quilting machine and frame. Congratulations on the new book! Thank you for the giveaway!
Congratulations on your book, it looks like a great read. I don’t have a bucket list but I guess a holiday overseas would be fantastic.
Thank you for the chance to win a bucket of prizes.
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo
Quilty bucket list: I grew up in southern California but now live in northeastern Washington. I’ve been mentally kicking around ideas for a quilt that represents the four seasons.
Dream bucket list: Quilt Festival in Houston
Your book looks beautiful and I can hardly wait to read it. On my bucket list is participating in the Applique Academy. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
I try to live each day to the fullest, so don’t really have a bucket. Love all of your patterns, books and designs. I have a lot of them!
I love the bag….gonna make one for a Christmas gift, thanks! Someday I want to go to see where my ancestors lived: Glamorgan, Wales and Cornwall, England.
Congrats on the new book. Going to Australia is on the top of my bucket list.
On the top of my bucket list is to use up the last inch of fabric that I have! I sew and quilt and embroidery items for everyone. I enjoy the making and the giving so it’s a win either way. I worked with a guy who’s mother lived in Montana and the pictures of their vacations were awesome! I think it would be fun to just be able to take off for about 3 months, take my dogs and travel. It would be so much fun to just stop and explore and not have an itenerary. Hope I can see the day!!!!
Would love to read your new book, sounds fascinating! Some things from my bucket list: Visit Tasmania, visit France, make a bed size quilt for every member of my family, become a foster cat mom for the local rescue team, take more time to just be.
I’ve been fortunate to complete a short list and now I’ll just be open to new adventures. Your bag is so very clever and congratulations on the book.
Wonderful bag, thank you for the pattern. On the top of my bucket list is a trip to Egypt to see the pyramids.
Congratulations on your book – what a huge accomplishment!
I’m happy to discover your website. I love your work and will check out your books. Thanks for the giveaway!
How exciting for you to have a new book and a new line of fabric. As I retired a few years ago, my bucket list has come to fruition. I am able to sew, read, quilt (newbie), and buy fabric to my heart’s content. Plus, add a few sewing machines to my collection. I am so fortunate to have my health and do whatever strikes my fancy.
Congratulations on your new book!
I love, love, love the bag! Can’t wait to make a bunch of totes for my family and friends!!
Oh, and one thing on my bucket list is to visit Alaska!
I want to visit Oregon. I would love to drive up the beautiful coast. That is tops on my bucket list. Love the cover of your book I bet it is wonderful!!!!
Your book looks lovely as well as the fabric! Regarding my bucket list – I would like to someday take a cruise to Alaska (its the only US state my hubby hasn’t been to) and also I would like to someday take a cruise again to Bermuda with hubby (that
‘s what we did for honeymoon).
Thanks for this great opportunity to win a wonderful giveaway!
Anne
Thanks for sharing your pattern! Right now, one of my top bucket list items is visiting NYC at Christmastime. I also would love to visit all 50 states.
Your new book looks wonderful! Bucket list …. I’ve thought about it, but no formal enteries yet. Quilt Market would qualify though – meeting some of these amazing people in the quilting world – they are all so inspiring.
On top of my bucket list is traveling to Europe with my family. Congratulations on your book. That’s a fantastic accomplishment.
Your book looks great! On my bucket list is visiting the quilt show in Houston–maybe next year… Thank you for the great pattern!!
I would love to visit our country’s National Parks and visit quilt shops along the way.
Your project is wonderful…I’m going to try to get one made before the AQS show in Des Moines. Congratulations on your new book. I have the Farmer’s Market pattern on order at my local quilt shop–can’t wait to get started on that! One thing that is on my bucket list is to visit all 50 states and I have a long way to go to meet that goal. Second would be to attend the Paducah quilt show, so that would cross Kentucky off my list of 50 and any states between there and Minnesota.
Karen in Breezy Point
We just marked a big one off my bucket list. Drove home to visit my parents, then drove across and visited my brother, and then drove all the way across the country to visit my daughter.. and then drove ALL the way home.. whew!! Next on my bucket list.. is finish this dern quilt!
I’ve never done a bucket list, really, but there are places I’d love to go…Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Eritrea, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sudan, Nigeria, Egypt, North Korea…plus, I would like to get my master’s degree, and learn to put in a zipper and do binding…the simple things. Ha.
My bucket list is a genuine one. I am living with an incurable form of leukemia; so don’t know if I will be able to check off everything on my list.
1. make a quilt for everyone in my immediate family
2. visit every lighthouse on the Maine coast
3. go to a quilting retreat
4. have a sewing room
5. live to be a ripe old age
Thanks for the bag pattern….love bags!! That is a great giveaway too.
Love the cover on your book. Congratulations on this labor of love. Such talent. My bucket list is varied with travel, quilting, decorating, gardening ideas ideas ideas but one mostly in my heart is to be able to take our 3 kids and their families on a trip to Italy, France, England. Hubby and I went to England many moons ago and loved it and our oldest has traveled the world and it would be great fun to all experience together!. Thank you to you and Moda for the opportunity.
Top on my bucket list is to take a trip to Japan with my husband……….it has always been his dream to go there and my dream is to make him happy. Maybe then we could go to Australia for me……………..I’m enjoying the blog hop so much……..thanks for doing it.
Seems like only yesterday that I sent my little ones off to their very first day of school…and then the tears when we said goodbye as they went off to college. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures and story
I love the cover quilt on your new book! Thank you so much for the great bag pattern and also for the wonderful giveaway! I think the main thing on my bucket list would be to finish all the quilts I’ve started.
Congratulations on the great book. My bucket list would be to meet and sew with Bonnie Hunter of Quiltvillle. Thaanks for the great pattern and good luck to your daughter as she starts her new adventure in life.
On my bucket list, a trip to Africa. South Africa and Zambia. Also on my bucket list: learning TWO more languages (Spanish and French) and learn to play the piano. I love your blog and inspirational stories! Thanks for sharing with us!
My bucket list includes ‘driving’ not just riding over the Mackinaw Bridge and quilting my Dear Jane top. Congratulations on your latest book!
Oh that is too funny! I need trick bags!!! My bucket list regarding life is still pretty long, but in terms of quilting it is to desgin my own quilt. I know that doesn’t sound like a huge project – but not being a designer type, it will be challenging for me. Who knows, maybe I can make one from the goodies!?
I don’t exactly have a bucket list, but the first thing that came to mind are the places I’d like to go visit. I’d really love to see Niagara Falls. And I’d really love to see the Northern Lights. Congratulations on your new book! It looks like a book I’ll have to have my own copy of.
Congratulations on your new book!!
Would love to win your giveaway, in particular, the book… thanks for the chance.
I haven’t officially made a ‘bucket list’, but there are some things I’d like to do: take another trip with my three daughters and their families, maybe one day travel to Europe, and of course lots of quilting!! I’d like to make my first ‘bed size’ quilt.
Wow haven’t really started an official bucket list, but I guess one of things I have always wanted to do was see the Pyramids in Egypt. I guess I should start writing these things down and start an official bucket list! Love the bag and your blog! Thanks for the chance to win!
I enjoyed your little video clip so much I had to watch it twice! All quilters need that sort of bag! I look forward to seeing your new book. I recently purchased Friendship Strips and Scraps and am assembling fabric to make the cover quilt and the spool quilt. Love the way you use colors together, and your comfy country style.
Hi,
Thank you for the opportunity to win! I really love the way that you use batiks in your appliqué! On my bucket list is to hike the Grand Canyon. Your daughter is the third person I know (my grandmother included) with the name Delfina.
On my bucket list? *sigh* A sewing area that doesn’t take on water.
I’m sorry but my last comment has the wrong email attached to it. What wonderful quilts you’ve made!
There are so many things on my bucket list that I couldn’t even begin to count them! I have a zillion projects to finish and places I want to visit! Hopefully, I can make a little dent in my list! Congratulations on the new book! Will have to get it (if I don’t win!) and add a few more projects to my bucket list! Thanks for the purse pattern!
Thank you for the opportunity to win! On my bucket list is to hike the Grand Canyon!
Your daughter and my grandmother have been the only 2 other people I know with the name Delfina!
I’ll be looking for your new book…it looks like one that I will be enjoying on our wintery days with a cuppa coffee! I hope to fulfill one of my bucket list items with a trip to France 2012 for a 4 village quilt show!!! keeping my fingers crossed and to someday be in Paducah during the show…dreams what would we do without them!
Another great day at the Fair. Thank you for sharing. It may not be on the top of my Bucket List but one of these days I would like to get all of my fabric stash in one room. That would mean I would have lots of completed quilts. Will I live long enough LOL
Love your beautiful designs! My bucket list is visit Martha’s vineyard someday.
A few of my things on the bucket list are to go to the Houston Quilt Festival which is suppose to happen this year. Another big dream is to live in a foreign country for a year or so. I would really love to live in Sweden, not having much luck convincing the family of this though. Thank you for the opportunity for the goodies. I absolutely love your books, designs and fabric!
I don’t really have a bucket list. I should make one up though – that bucket is a tantilizing prize!! Your new book looks very interesting. Best wishes to your daughter on her big adventure.
on my bucket list would definitely be a cross country drive, stopping at whatever looked interesting.
I have always admired your work. Love the new book and will have to have that one too. The big thing on my bucket list? Get on a plane. I have never flown. If I could make myself get on a plane, I could go to quilt market and meet all the wonderful people whom I admire! Have a lovely day.
My bucket list is to visit the 10 top US National Parks. I have only visited the Everglades and gone near the Rocky Mountains.
But I also admire the others who want to attend Paducah and Houston. ME, TOO.
Congratulations on your new book! The bag is so cute, I have printed off the pattern to try one. On my bucket list, a trip to Australia and to finish up all of my UFOs! Helen
What beautiful fabrics. My bucket list consists of travel, travel, travel.
I just love you! My bucket list is sooooo long – many of your quilts are on it. My latest kick is that I really want to make a hexagon quilt! I can’t wait to see your new book – thanks for all of the inspiration that you give!
Your blog is wonderful. The bag is a must, though my husband never complains about the quilting items I buy – lucky me. My bucket lists of visiting and site-seeing in all 50 states, going to Australia, Paris and the Channel Islands, going to Paducah, white water rafting on the Colorado River, a long canoe trip with the kids and grandshildren (who are still too little for this), and seeing the Northern Lights. You are so creative and I’m thankful that you share your talents with us.
Your book looks beautiful! Love the cow story, made me laugh thinking of how many times I’ve done that! Funnel cakes rock! ( my dtr & sil are food concessionaires & make them all across the country)!! Would love to win your bucket full of treasures~ saw the cutest idea, fabric strips tied around a bucket & tied in a knot. It was from The Creative Connection last yr. ( 5-6 strips all different fabrics). Love your bag video, too! Thanks! Debbie
Love the new book! My bucket list would include more travel.
Congrats on the book! I’m thinking I need to make a couple of those bags.
Congratulations on the book and it looks wonderful!
Your daughter will be fine but yes I understand those feelings. We are so proud when they venture further and further on their own life path but it can be so bittersweet to let go.
On my bucket list? Well, I don’t keep a bucket list as I’m not one for wishing but rather for doing and I have very simple goals. One is to guide my children into becoming successful adults. Hmmm… I would eventually like to see the Grand Canyon, Alaska, and make 100 quilts/blankets for charity. That’s the start of my bucket list! LOL!
Cynthia
Beautiful post… Congrats on the book! Would thoroughly enjoy it!!!
Bucket List? hmmmm, driving the Pacific Coast Highway in a convertible stopping wherever and whenever and staying as long as I’d like. And another?… touring Europe staying in B&B’s, again with no time constraints… but taking in a West End production. That’s as much of the cities there I would like to see.
Thanks for the bag pattern and the chance at the wonderful gifts.
Tops on my bucket list is to visit Sweden..home of my ancestors. Love your bag and how it turns into a really big bag..can’t wait to make it!
Oh, you crack me up!! =) I have adventurous things on my bucket list such as shark dive, skydive, bungee jump, and race car driving. I’ve crossed a couple things off such as white water rafting, rappeling, and zipline adventures. Thanks for the chance to win such amazing prizes!! And thanks for the pattern.
My name is Patty and Pattywacks is how my significant other refers to all my stuff (fabric, wool, sewing gadgets, antiques, etc.). Taking time away from work to visit family and friends is always on the top of the Bucket List & having a home with a dedicated Pattywack room would also be nice. Speaking of Buckets … the bucket of goodies you are giving away looks great … hummmmm … does that great antique bucket come with? How about that great antique watering can … Thank you for the great blog!
My bucket list….to see Europe. I just found out where several family members came from in France and really need to see where it all started. I also want to find the time to finish all the projects I have started or are waiting to be lovingly made. Oh…to find the time. I love your fabric and projects. Thanks for a chance to win them!!
My bucket list–see Alaska in the winter, visit all the quilt shops that I visit on the internet. Your bucket full of stuff is amazing, would love to win it—the bucket would look wonderful in my yard, do we get that too?
My bucket list has a visit to Alaska and walk on a glacier.
WOW!! That bucket looks so cute
Thank you Thank you for the giveaway. I love this blog tour it has been so so much fun to see all the different sites. On my bucket list is a trip to Europe. It just seems oh so romantic.

On my bucket list in no special order…family trip to South Dakota Bad Lands, Yosemitie, Paris and Alaska (Glacier National Park to take photos)
The transformation of your area at Market is amazing, love the all the beautiful things to look at! Lisa in Texas
My bucket list… to thank my friend for telling me about this hop or I would have never known about your blog which I find very inspiring. To make a feathered star quilt similar to the pic of your feathered star header on your blog. It’s gorgeous!!! To continue making quilts for everyone in my family to love and cheish. Be the best grandma. I’m going to be a grandma for the first time in Jan.! I would love to go to England to visit all the beautiful gardens. Some day take a Quilting Cruise. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful family and am quite content. Thanks for all your inspiration.
On my bucket list is a cruise to Alaska. We live near Seattle so it wouln’t be that tough to make it happen, we just have to make some plans. Thanks for sharing your bag design.
Thank you so much for the bag pattern! What a wonderful, clever idea! I definitely will be adding this to my ‘TO DO’ list. There are lots of things on there…but some day!!! I dream… I don’t have a lot on my bucket list because my life is full and happy. I would love to see the Grand Canyon, Ireland and Scotland and Denmark (where my family’s origins are and where I have relatives I have never met). Life is short, live every moment with wonder and appreciation for the blessings we have! Be blessed!!!
To go to the Fall Market show…to see all the fabric and projects…ohh!
Thanks for the chance to win the bucket of prizes!
Or even better, to go with my own collection!
Your work is stunning. Congratulations on your new book, I”m sure it will be a hit!!! Wow, we dream of completing something on our bucket list don’t we……I would like to create a beautiful quilt of my own one day that people fall in love with, see some beautiful sites around this country and have my two children grow up to be independent, respectful and happy adults. That’s a bucketful!
Thank you for participating in this giveaway it looks wonderful!!!
Isn’t it just so bittersweet when our children take flight. Makes the heart stop when they take that first step away from the nest and some shedding of tears for sure.
On my bucket list is a visit to the country of my father’s family, Austria.
I love your book, just from the cover. I’m sure there are even more delights inside. One thing on my bucket list is a trip to the quilt show in Sisters, OR. Thanks for the chance to win.
Top of my bucket list is finishing all my projects sitting in my sewing room, then I would shop hop my way through every state finding the cutest quilt shops!
I am so impressed with your quilts. Lovely work!
Can’t wait for your book! I believe true quilting comes from the heart and each is special. My 83-year-old Mother inspires me – still quilting and has so for the last 45 years – all by hand. Would love the bucket and all the goodies inside! I have a shoe with hen & chicks in it just like the one in your photo! Bucket list: Paducah quilt show – I do live in Kentucky but several hours away from Paducah; Quilt retreat – can’t imagine just getting to sew and talk and laugh and eat with a lot of quilters!
Thanks for the chance to win!

My bucket list includes so many things, quilting, travel, and spending time with family and friends. On the travel side my husband and I hope to visit all the US National Parks. And one of the quilts on my bucket list is your Applique Affair. I love your patterns and now your fabrics. And winning your bucket of goodies would be a real treat! Thank you for your contributions to the quilting world.
Your new books looks like a great read. As for a bucket list, mine seems to change frequently. I have retired and started on all the projects I packed away to do when I had more time. Somehow that “more time” doesn’t seem to happen. There are so many new projects and new fabrics that the saved ones don’t get to the top as quickly as they should. They are hidden away, much like that wonderful tote bag you have.
Thanks for the tutorial on the Small Big Tote. Look forward to making it. Congrats on your book. One of the things on my bucket list would be to have a motor home, (and the gasoline to drive it), travel across the USA & Canada; and to collect fabric from each place I visit. Also want a hand crank sewing machine! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
Congratulations on your book!!
It’s not easy when the kids go off to college. My son is only two hours away but when he’s here to visit and gets ready to leave, oh my, I cry like he was leaving for the first time. I keep telling myself it will get easier every time he goes back. I imagine when we have that special bond with our kids, it’s always hard letting go. But I am very proud of him and of course, my oldest son.
I’ve thought so many times about putting together a bucket list as I have things I would love to do. At the top would be to rent a cabin and have all the family there for Christmas. BUT I would want it to be a very simple Christmas. We would each draw one name and everyone would have to make their gift. The Christmas tree would have handmade ornaments, strings of popcorn and cranberries on it, very simple. I would love to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway from one end to the other. I would love to meet everyone from the Moda Country Fair as they all inspire me. I would love to say “gentlemen start your engines” at a NASCAR race. I want to show them how it’s done
And the last thing that would be on my list is to have a quilting/scrapbooking room so that I don’t have to do everything on the dining room table and then have to keep it clean.
Thank you for the pattern and the giveaway!!
Bucket list? Learning how to fly fish and how to fly a helicopter, and visiting Vermont in the fall. Your quilts are beautiful!
Lovely book and fabric! My bucket list ….. travel to the East Coast.
A queen-sized sampler quilt in 4″ blocks.
I love your idea for Project Quilt Market! I would definitely watch that and for my bucket list I would like to someday be a part of market as a fabric designer. I have loved playing with fabric since I was a little girl.
I love your bag! How fun! Thanks so much for sharing all of your wonderful talents with us.
Tracy

Congratulations on your book. On my bucket list is a desire to purchase a caravan and travel around France to see as much of this beautiful country where I now live. Linda
New book, yeah. I love fair food. We added the National Parks to our list after watching PBS National parks series this last year.
Tops on my ‘bucket list’ would be to go to Hawaii!
Bucket list, hmmmm. I will have to think about that. Love your fabric, books and patterns. Can’t wait to see the new one. Inspiration flows when I look at them. Kinda like it does when I spend time with my kids who are now adults and on their own. It’s all good, but I really miss the old days! On to creating new memories.

What an amazing bucket of goodies! I would <3 to be chosen as your winner! Almost as much as I would like to be a published designer. That and a few other quilt related goals are on my bucket list, along with taking my husband on a cruise to Scotland to see where his Grandparents and aunt and uncle lived prior to coming to the states. His dad was the first of the family born here, and it has long been a dream of his to go and see if he can find any long-lost relatives.
My Bucket List includes a visit to the Quilt Shows in Sisters, OR and Houston, TX!
Just might get to do some of that in the coming year!
My bucket list includes winning your bucket. Congratulations on your book.

I’m new to your work, & after seeing just the cover of your new book, know that reading it will definitely go on my bucket list! Along with a hundred other ‘to do’ quilting-related projects. Also, I hope to get to Norway to visit the homeland of my ancestors. Love your work!

Gudrun
I love your books. Looking forward to the new one. I have always wanted
to go to Houston Quilt Show. Maybe some day.
Thank you for the giveaway and your great bag pattern!
My bucket list includes seeing the Eiffel Tower in person, maybe Paris and Tuscany too!
A trip to Hawaii, if it was on a cruise around the islands, that would be the best!
A quilting cruise trip, hopefully with my husband, but he would be bored if there wasn’t specific activities for him to do…
This is probably unrealistic, but “Retire, live in an RV, not have to pay property taxes, and just go and see North America when and where we choose!”
For now, sewing and quilting as much as I can until I can stop working full time end of 2012!
Take care, Leslie
I have always wanted to learn to play the cello, since retiring in July I have been doing a lot of quilting, but have the name of a woman that gives cello lessons, need to call, can’t wait!

I would love to travel to New England in the fall and see the beautiful fall colors.

Charlotte

On my bucket list, the top thing is to watch my children have children that turn into such wonderful adults as they have become.Your new book sounds like a wonderful journey, can’t wait to see it. I’m sure it will be a legacy to your children and their children.
I know for sure going to Ireland would be on my bucket list. I haven’t thought about too much else yet though-thats a hard question!

On my bucket list, lots more quilts of course and also a trip down to eastern Canada.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Congrats on your lovely new book. What a great idea to put stories to the quilts. On my bucket list? A trip to the Little Quilts store in Marietta, Georgia. I began quilting about 15 years ago and started with a nine-patch from the book, Little Quilts all Through the House. I wore the book out and have since had to buy a new one.
My bucket list has quilts to make ( A Lone Star ), and places to visit ( Amsterdam, Australia to name a couple), and books to read. So much to do, better get a move on.
Thanks.
My bucket list is finding a place for everything in my sewing room and finishing all my quilt kits. 30+
Bucket list for me is an equipment list: a Gammill, a serger, a Koala sewing table set-up, and a quality sewing machine…
Love your pictures and your quilts of course. Inspiring! I’m so glad to see somebody take pictures and appreciate some of the country life in this country. It’s nice to hear somebody wants to see what this country has to offer.
My bucket list involves a lot of travelling. I’d love to go to Ireland and Scotland, Chile, Alaska, Scandanavia, …
I love your tote! Thanks for the free pattern.
I think the top of my bucket list is a visit withthe Dali Lama…all the others below that do not matter much…but it would be nice to Ride the Orient Express…and go to Montana, Wyoming and Canada…
Thanks!
Mary

My bucket list includes hand-piecing another queen-sized quilt, visiting my grandfather’s hometown in Norway, and exploring Puget Sound by sailboat.

On my bucket list is a trip to Ireland and Scotland. Some day….soon I hope.
Love the bag thanks for the pattern.

Edyta~thank you so much for the fun bag pattern!! Congrats on the book, having been to a schoolhouse of yours I am quite excited to get my hands on a copy to read all about your reasons for quilts! I have a bucket list with numerous items but would love to take my parents & brother to England & Ireland.
Love your bag video and YES I will be attempting this. You have a beautiful, beautiful site and I’ve really enjoyed visiting. This summer I was able to spend 2 weeks in Vermont working on a quilt. I guess my bucket list would be to spend an entire summer there quilting! Thank you for your work.
-Cynthia
What a beautiful book! Congratulations. On my bucket list for quilting is to make a pickle dish quilt. Right now it’s fun to think about but one day I’ll start collecting fabrics and later the time will be right to start sewing.
At the top of my bucket list would be to visit Sweden and Italy. Your daughters journey through college will teach her many things and she can start her own bucket list. Love your quilts and especially your books.
My bucket list has 2 quilts in it for World of Charity Stitching. I’m just getting the squares finished for a Disney Character quilt for Ronald McDonald House. Then I have a Garden Quilt for the nursing home. At World of Charity Stitching, the ladies make cross stitch squares and we take the squares and make quilts from them. Stop by & visit us at our Blog.

Hi, I can’t wait to order your new book as well as make the delightful tote bag. Riding Amtrak from coast to coast is on my list. Just thinking of the peaceful feeling while viewing our beautiful America and hand stitching makes me want to pack my bags. Thanks for the opportunity of winning your bucket full of treats.
Just completed one of my husbands’ bucket list trips..whitewater rafting on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Was a blast…even with a sprained ankle from the hike down. Next year a trip from my list…Vancouver BC.
Another bucket list would be able to finish all the projects that I have waiting for me in my sewing room. Somehow I think the Vancouver trip will be easier to accomplish!
Love your books and quilts…they are so inspiring.
The top of my bucket list is to have lots of time to work on quilting projects and it’s hopefully going to be happening soon…after daughter gets married on Oct 1st.
I want to visit northern Italy, especially the areas around Sienna. It’s so pretty there! And I’d like to live long enough to use up all my fabric.
I love all of your work! Thank you for designing such beautiful fabric and quilts! On my bucket list? Sweet 16!!!
Congratulations on the book! It look wonderful! My bucket list has many things in it: go on a cruise, get a new house on some acreage, sew my first quilt together, get a newer sewing machine, and the list goes on and on… Thanks for the tote pattern!
Montana is a great place to live! We had cows and I also have been known to “moo” at the calves.
On my bucket list is a trip to the British Isles. An English friend of mine is moving back there, so maybe I will visit her and she will show me around the countryside.
I’ve been to the Houston Show …. well, this is year #8 I think, and have my week of classes all planned out…….never been to Paducah but not really a desire….been to Alaska and Hawaii several times so not really a desire to go back there..well, maybe to travel backroads/villages in Alaska. Never been to Montana and that has always sounded interesting to me. And maybe Greece. That basket of goodies looks very curious!
One thing on my bucket list was to do a Zipline. I was able to check that one off this summer in Ketchikan, Alaska — AWESOME!! I love your bucket of goodies; thanks for a chance to win.
Hi there,
Thanks so for the opportunity to win that beautiful bucket of goodies. Do love the bucket too
For my bucket list, I want to enjoy our lovely USA and visit all of the National Parks.
Cheers
Catie
i am always in awe when i see your quilts (well, PICTURES of the, anyway)!
What a nice bucket of goodies. I would love to win. Your designs are some of my faves. Linda L.
Your work is exquisite! My bucket list includes a trip to Sturbridge Village, Paducah, and reducing the size of my WIP pile (among other things)!!!
My bucket list has a trip to Grease on it
Congratulations on your new book. Your quilts are beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the cover of your new book. Your gift of the bucket looks wonderful. I hope your daughter enjoys her time at school.
Oh it is so hard to send a child off. We teach them to be independent and responsible adults- and darn it why are they so independent!? Nothing is better than the phone call where they need your advice and wisdom-it has you dancing on air because they still need you.
I have many things on my bucket list, some large and some small. I crossed off one when my husband and I were able to go to Alaska. There is so much in the world to see and to experience. Love the bucket in your display of goodies too.
I too have going to Houston for the Quilt Festival on the top of my bucket list! Can you imagine that I lived in San Antonio 10 years ago and didn’t make the short trip to Houston? I didn’t get interested in Quilting until after I moved away from San Antonio, however I often think about what I missed. I am a follower and enjoy your blog. You make such beautiful quilts! Thanks for the nice pattern too.
Love the bag and can’t wait to get the book! I love to hear stories about how a quilt became to be. My favorite fair food is cotton candy – only a few bites for my sweet tooth. On my bucket list is to visit Alaska and Hawaii….my husband is retiring next year and we are going to both!!! I can’t wait and it will be a trip of a lifetime. Love your blog and thanks.
I want to learn to read music and play an instrument – the cello or the violin. I am 51 years old and I would love to be able to play music throughout the rest of my life. May sound silly, but it’s a big wish of mine!
The book looks wonderful and I’m putting it on my wish list.
My bucket list includes starting and finishing my first full size bed quilt!
I can’t wait to read your book! That is a cute bag also. One thing on my list is to learn how to play the guitar.
My bucket is so very long but the top two things right now are to see the Great Wall of China and to scuba on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Can’t wait to see your new book!
Edyta, completing a quilt from one of your patterns is on my bucket list! They are all beautiful and you are certainly a talented designer. Thanks for the free project download and sharing a little bit of yourself with us!
You’re new book looks awesome!!! What a wonderful give-away bucket, too!! Keep up the great work
#1 on my bucket list is to visit another country, preferably Ireland. I’m almost 36 and have never been out of the US despite family vacations near Canada as a child and living minutes from the Mexico border for 3 years.
Your purse/shopping bag is so ingenious! Your book also sounds like a fascinating read. On my bucket list would be visiting New England in the fall to see the colors of the autumn leaves. Thanks for the chance to win!
What a great giveaway! I love your quilts – the colors and patterns are so soothing. My bucket is is about as long as my list of UFO’s. If I were to share one from the list it would have to be to spend at least a month in a cottage in Ireland. No phone, no computer, just nature and sewing (by hand).
Actually, my bucket list has your “Hop to it” and “Sweet Sixteen” patterns on it. Just love all your books.
My bucket list includes finishing the grandmothers flower garden quilt that I started years ago! Thanks for the chance to win some great goodies!!
Edyta, thank you so much for the pattern for the bag. Just in time for me to make it up and take it to the quilt show in Kalispell, MT….so then I, too, can take another look at that wonderful State. Of course, then I can also fill it with goodies from the quilt show ;>)
Your quilting books are my very favourite. Your applique inspires me all the time to forge ahead on my own. And, one of your quilts also dons the walls in my dining room every Fall. Thank you for your inspiration.
Annette
Congrats on your book anf your wonderful blog. I had so much fun visiting.
One item on my bucket list is to finish all the quilts that I have started!! A new item is to make your purse, love it.
Your quilts are stunning and I would be so, so happy to receive your beautiful bucket. My “bucket list” is simple but hard to achieve! I would like to have balance in all aspects of my life–equal parts family, work, and creativity. Sigh…
Oooh, my bucket list is very long! A few top items include a trip to the East Coast historical sites, finishing the house remodel, and make an appliqued quilt. Loved your video clip!
I have been to 47 States. A visit to Alaska, Nebraska, and Michigan is on my bucket list
On my bucket list . . . someday a cruise to Alaska, and making an Edyta quilt! Thanks for the terrific bag pattern!
Children grow up fast, don’t they? On my bucket list, I’d like to visit all 50 states in the US. I’m probably half way there….
Your new book looks like a winner. My bucket list would be to visit Denmark to see where my Grandmother came from. Thanks for the free bag pattern.
Clever bag! On my bucket list: travel to places like Barcelona, India, and just about anywhere else. Finish up all my quilts!
Your quilts are gorgeous, I drool when I see your color combinations! My bucket list would be to finish all my projects, raise good grandkids and see America. There are lots of other things, but if I could do just the second one well, I would be satisfied. I like to eat my way through the fair. Its the only way to go!!
What a cute bag – in both its forms.
My bucket list mainly comprises places I’d love to visit:
Hawaii
Istanbul
Morocco
Baltic cruise
OMG…that is the best looking bucket I have ever seen…full of beautiful things I love to play with!! Learning to Swim, that is on my bucket list. My youngest sister and I never learned how to swim. We go camping every year and I watch my kids in the water, swimming with their cousins and having a great time! One day I will join them
Dear Edyta: I love your 2 previous books and I am so inspired by your use of batiks and traditional fabrics in the same quilt, Your Feather quilt in the sweet 16 line is gorgeous.My bucket list is to go to Italy and visit the Fortuny Museum and see how those incredible fabrics were made. WhetherI win it or not I can not wait to buy your new book. Thank you for the contest.
I love,love,love your small bag/large bag! What a treat for us to print out! YAY! On my bucket list is to learn to play the banjo! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!!
On my bucket list is a trip to Alaska. May be a few years off yet. Love your thread!
One item on my bucket list is to go on a quilt cruise – combining two of my favorite activities, quilting and travel. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a fabulous giveaway.
Love the bag! It will be great for any shopping trip be it fabric or the bookstore. My bucket list would be to see more of the USA. to see the sights and find quilt shops.
The quilt on the cover of your book was also in the latest issue of the dutch quilting magazine Quilt en Zo. I love this quilt and almost bought the magazine. Just in time I saw there was no pattern of the quilt in the magazine. So how lucky would I be if I would win this contest and be given all those wonderfull goodies in the bucket (including the pattern). To make your quilt would be on my bucket list.
Regards,
Marian
At the top of my bucket list is a trip to my father’s village in Austria. I recently looked at it thru Google and it wasn’t how I imagined it, so I really need to go and see it for myself.
Your book looks wonderful and has been added to my “must have” list. I love your feathered star quilt – it’s on the list to make for my nephew and his wife (then all the kids will have a feathered star quilt).
Thank you for sharing the great bag project and for offering that “bucket” of wonderful things.
Thank you for the great bag pattern. Congrats on the book. I will have to look for it.
I would love to go on an Alaskaj Cruise.
Can I first say that I am in Love with your Believe line of fabric. My bucket list includes getting my hands on that fabric. I don’t really have a bucket list per se. I try and live day by day which is all we have been promised. There are a few spots in the world I would love to see before the bucket empties however.
Loved watching and hearing the story on the cool bag! I am still laughing about it! One of many things on my bucket list is to travel to more places like Alaska and Montana and own a home by a lake with a huge sewing room! Love your quilts and can’t to see what you come up with next!
On my bucket list are learning to be fluent in another language and taking a road trip through the U.S.–among many other things! Thank you for the great project–I’ll have to try that ruse on my husband sometime
Oh, I heard you talk about “Why we make quilts” a couple years ago with the DJs in Shipshe. How fun. Can’t wait to read your book.
On my bucket list, is to finish my UFO’s. I don’t think anyone in my family would have any idea what to do with a bag of blocks! Flimies, maybe.
Fingers crossed here.
What a cool bag! I have lots of traveling on my bucket list . . . one I just thought of is I’d love to take my kids to Washington D.C. when they are a little older. Thanks for the chance at that awesome bucket!
My bucket list includes scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef.
Right now the top of my bucket list is winning your bucket of goodies. The bucket list I started some time ago has to make a quilt for each of my nine brothers and sisters. I am on number four and chugging along.
Absolutely LOVE the bag…..you sneaky shop hopper!!!! I have got to make one of those for me!!!!!
Absolutely love the bag…..you sneaky shop hopper!!! I have got to make one for me!!!!
My bucket involves fairly simple things, my own sewing room, filled with everything I meed to make everything on my to-do list, and finding soy-free chocolate for a good price.
On my bucket list is to travel the United States. Thanks for the chance to win.
Congratulations on your book! Can hardly wait to see it. I think we all can relate to sending your daughter off to college. It’s very hard, but each day gets a little easier. The key is to stay busy and I think you already do that. As for as my bucket list goes, I think I would love to take a drive through all the states. You get to see so much that way. Thanks for the giveaway!
Seems like places are always on bucket lists but for me at the top of my bucket list would be meeting former first lady Laura Bush . . . not only meeting but having lunch and asking lots of questions. Her quite nature intrigues me and her love for books fascinates me.
Congrats on your new book and your tote bag looks amazing!
Bucket list would be to do lots of traveling to places I’ve never been, become a better quilter/seamstress and also I’d love to open up a shop again. I had a cross stitch shop yrs. ago and really miss it!
Thanks for entering me!
Tanya~friendshipcrossing.blogspot.com
Oh my gosh…my bucket list? How much space can I have for this list? LOL! Umm…I want my two adult sons to get married and give me some grandkids…especially some granddaughters to pass on the love of quilting to! I hope to get to Houston and Padukah and the Sisters show in Oregon someday. And quilt market! Would love to go one day! Umm..how about a long arm machine and an endless supply of Moda! A gal can stem, right? I do love your new fabric and your designs are gorgeous! Thank you for the chance to win! …. Oh and how about Hugh Jackman shirtless in the sewing room as a helper… Giggling….
The new book looks wonderful! In regards to thebucket list, I would like to take a cruise to Australia and New Zealand, of course a quilting cruise would be best!
Congrats on the new book. Part of my bucket list is to go to Houston for the Show and Ikea. It’s not the cost of the trip that stops me. It’s the money I will spend while there.
One of the things on my bucket list is a trip to Hawaii. The other is to make an hand applique quilt. Congratulations on your new book, Now owning a copy has been added to my bucket list.
Love the nifty bag. Thanks for this chance to win such a gorgeous giveaway!!
Hi Edyta! First of all, a great big Congratulations on your new book. It looks so interesting and I do think that I will have to purchase it. I would love to read the stories of why others make quilts! I also really enjoyed your post, especially your adorable video of you and your “bag”! So cute! Thank you so much for the free pattern…. I love to make bags and will most definitely be making that one!
Enjoy the the rest of your time with your daughter before she goes off to college, and have fun with the Moda Fair! And thank you to you and Moda for offering up so many great prizes, and the chance to participate in the give away!
XOXO,
Cyndi
Oops…forgot to tell you what was on my “bucket list”! If I don’t do anything else, I want to go to Ireland. My family roots are there and I have always wanted to visit that beautiful country! There are other things on that list, of course, but that’s what is at the very top!
)
XOXO,
Cyndi
Thank you for the free pattern. Your new book should arrive in a few days. (Can’t wait!)
I really don’t have a bucket list. I enjoy being with family and friends. I don’t take
anything in life for granted.
I just don’t want to Kick The Bucket.
Bucket list would be to go to Washington D.C. museums, especially the American History one. Also the Cooper-Union in NY, looking at quilts, of course! Congrats on the beautiful new book….arden
On my bucket list is a trip to Utah to visit the many quilt shops there. Your beautiful bag would really come in handy for that trip. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
On my bucket list is to go to NY City
Your new book looks beautiful and the bag is such a fun idea – love it, will go and download it now!! My bucket list gets longer and longer all the time [sigh] from travel to having a productive vege gardening and getting back into my horseriding and of course finishing my ufos and starting more quilts!
Well, I can’t wait to see your new book! I work at a local quilt shop and am treasurer of my quilt guild, and EVERYONE is participating in a strip or triangle swap right now. Thanks so much for inspiring us to have so much fun! My bucket list is to go on a honeymoon. I’ve been married to my best friend for 19 years now and I still haven’t had one. We always assumed there would be time & money later, but we’re still waiting:) Maybe once the kids move on, who knows. Thanks again for the great ideas!
Caught a glimpse of your new line Indian Summer-gorgeous fabric. Your new book Reasons for Quilts and Farmers Market pattern is a must have on my list. Love the way you mix reproduction fabric and batiks in your patterns. Thanks for the cute bag pattern and the bucket of goodies for a lucky someone. Have a stash of many of your fabric lines and love them all!! As for a bucket list I have always wanted to go to Europe and travel.
I don’t really have a bucket list. I just like to live each day as best I can, which of course includes lots of fabric and time at my sewing machine! Your book looks just wonderful, and that bucket looks like a fabulous prize! Thanks so much for the chance to win it!

Congratulations on your beautiful book! Can hardly wait to read it. I can relate to the bittersweet feelings a mother has when she sends her child off to college. It’s difficult at first but gets easier as time passes and one keeps busy. I’m sure you have no problem keeping busy.
Thanks for the bucket giveaway and the free pattern. As for as my bucket list goes, I would love to travel by car through all the states. I think it would be lots of fun.
On my bucket list is going to the quilt show in Sisters Oregon. I have long wanted to go there. Congratulations on your new book.
What a great idea – a bag that grows! Thanks for the pattern. On my bucket list? Hmmm. Go to Houston, own a quilt shop, tour our beautiful US of A.
Your lovely daughter leaving for college brought back memories of when each of our children left for college…I kept thinking, “Darn, they believed everything we told them, did everything we encouraged them to and now they’re off to do it–didn’t realize they’d actually leave!!!” It was sad and hard, but also incredibly exciting and heart filling to see them be so successful and happy and that continues as they develop their careers and their adult lives take shape.
At the top of my bucket list right now would be going to the Houston quilt show. I would also like to meet you ((blush)). You are one of my favorites.
well i’m not sure what a bucket list is- maybe a list of goals??? i dont like to travel but top on my goal list is to finish all my unfinished projects and learn to stay on top of them:) thanks for the chance to win!!!
I’d like to visit Australia with my family. And, one day, I hope to tackle several difficult applique quilts on my to-do list! Thanks for the giveaway.
Love your colors and can’t wait for the new book. Thanks for all you do.
Alaska & Hawaii are on my travel list! My kids are just getting old enough to soon to be in school all day so I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be/do the second time around.
Congratulations on your book! My bucket list includes doing a Baltimore Album quilt!
I have lots of stuff on my bucket list but my number one goal would be to open up my own shop full of sewing and quilting goodies. Congrats on your new book!
I have many things on my bucket but they mostly involve travel! I would love to explore Italy, Germany, Greece, and attend Wimbledon!
For my bucket list, I hope to someday take a class at Asilomar, take a cruise to Alaska and cruise the Panama Canal, sew as much as I can!!
What beautiful quilts you make. They are very inspiring.
Thanks for the bag pattern. My bucket list includes visiting Hawaii and Alaska and attending some major quilt shows. Thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win the bucket full of great stuff!
Your book looks great. Thanks for the bag tutorial and the giveaway opportunity.
Can’t wait to see your new book.
One thing on my bucket list is an Alaskan cruise.
Congrats on your new book. My bucket list is long Disney World, travel around the US, taking quilt classes.
Oh, those book looks fabulous. Congrats.
One thing I have on my bucket list is to travel to Maine. I got to go to CA this spring and now I want to go north.
I am working on the Hop To It pattern right now. Your patterns are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Hi Edyta,
I just sent my first-born off to college also! It has been a very busy summer.
My sister and I both made your mountain top quilt! I love it! Next on my list is your tree quilt (can’t remember the name of the pattern) and then I want to make your spool quilt.
Oh, the list is so long! I love your new fabric line…I just saw it in the new Hancock’s mag.
I hope I win!!!!
My bucket list is quite full and seems to get fuller every day. Travel, quilt projects, s
My bucket list is quite full and seems to get fuller every day. Travel, quilt projects, stitching projects and finding great treasures. Certainly tops on the list is completing the last semester of my BSN and graduation in December. After that the sky will be the limit due to more free time. I would love to add the projects from you bucket on to my list. Thank you for the giveaway and also to Moda for there assistance. Moda designers Rock.
My bucket list is to finish all my quilting projects!!!!!
Carol L
Love reading all the blogs! My bucket list would include trips to Alaska and Hawaii with all my family.
Your book looks to be as beautiful as the quilts you make. I can’t wait to purchase it. I don’t really have a bucket list. I feel blessed and content with all I have seen and done in my life thus far. I really just feel satisfied to have a wonderful family who is happy and healthy. I appreaciate the bucket giveaway and the inspiration you provide with each new quilt/pattern you create.
I have 1 son in middle school, he’s 12 already! Where does the time go, they grow so quickly it’s scary. Now for my bucket list I’d love to someday live in a log cabin with a deep front porch. I’d also like to go to Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Thanks for participating in the fair. ;->
My bucket list would include finishing all my UFO’s and purchased quilt kits…but thinking that might not happen unless I live a very very very long time. Love your patterns…have a couple kitted in my closet right now. Thanks for the bag pattern, it’s very clever.
I like the bucket and of course everything in it. Looking forward to your book and the stories.
Your book looks lovely. I have always loved the stories that go with quilts
On my bucket list was to watch the whales in Hawaii. Crossed that one off last year!
Thank your for the chance to win your bucket of goodies!
On my bucket list I have listed trying to make one of your quilt designs. I saw you on The Quilt Show and found your work to be outstanding. I am fairly new to quilting so I am not sure how long it will take me to be ready to attempt one of your projects but I will get there sooner or later. Love your free gift pattern. I will make that soon. Thank you so much.
A trip back to Ireland is also on my list as well as a trip to Greece.
You are on talented person.
Susan
I would love to go on a quilt shop tour all across the U.S. I am pretty sure that we would have to leave the menfolk home to received all the goodies that we would collect along the way!
Have a great weekend!
Please enter me in your lovely giveaway. I love to do wool applique, hand sewing and counted cross stitch – on my bucket list is to learn to quilt and to learn to use a sewing machine. This bucket would certainly help to get me there
Blessings, Patti
Talk about coincidences! My new Hancock’s of Paducah catalog just came and I came across your Hay Bale pattern (which I ordered) which reminded me of the Moda Country Fair blog hop which led me to finding the listing for the hop, and you are today’s. Anyway! On my bucket list is a trip to Italy. I’ve never been but I just know I will love it. I love all things Italian! Some day soon!
On my bucket list would be to have an assistant to do all of those boring things so
I’d have time for the fun stuff. (Ha!) Thanks for the give-away.
I’m so excited about your new book & thank you for the bag pattern!! I have never admitted this before but I, too have “moo ed” at cows ~ isn’t wonderful when they moo rt back? Actually amazing!! My bucket list includes seeing all the natural beauty of our great country including Yellowstone & Alaska!!
CONGRATS ON YOUR BOOK! I WANT TO READ IT!
ON MY BUCKET LIST: A TRIP TO HOLLAND, BIRTHPLACE OF MY RELATIVES!
THANKS FOR SHARING THE BUCKET GIVEAWAY!
Thanks for the great bag pattern. I would love to someday go to a quilt market. I think that would just be the greatest fun.
Your quilts are amazing. I have a lot of things on my bucket list at this moment. I think one of the top ones right now would be to find a babysitter for my kids and have my husband and I go away for a weekend or so!
What a wonderful story, and a great bucket. Winning something like that would be amazing. My bucket list includes traveling across the country in a motor home, and owning a long arm machine. I recently crossed off driving a convertible. My son got a convertible and let me drive it! It was fun. Thanks for this, and I can’t wait to see your book. Love your designs and patterns.
What a fun post to read…I look forward to your book…because the reasons for the quilts are so much of what quilting is to me! As far as a bucket list…I would love to travel more and see places of historical interest…I find I really appreciate my heritage more the older I get. Some national quilt museums would be wonderful to visit, too!
Congratulations on your book! My bucket list includes dancing at my son’s wedding, and attending my granddaughter’s wedding (she’s only 4).
Thanks for the chance to win your bucket.
My bucket list includes winning your bucket. Can’t wait to see your book. Thank you for your colors and designs.
At the top of my bucket list is attending the Houston Quilt Festival! Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!
What a good looking book. Congratulations!! I don’t have many things on my bucket list but my main thing would be to have my whole family living in a house next to the ocean.
there’s not much left on my bucket list … quilts to make: fabric fling, rag quilt, sweatshirt jacket, cathedral windows, obw, purse. have been there, done that and enjoyed it all muchly!
so, i like good books, quilt books, and have put yours on my book list. thanx for the opportunity to win your facinating bucket, and for your applique pattern.
Congratulations on the release of the new book, it looks really good. What a lovely idea a blog hop is, it’s such a pleasure to see so much creativity. On my bucket list is to one day visit America and actually go to a big quilt show. A girl can dream. Mandy x
OMG..you are so cute, f-u-n-n-y and talented.
Hmmmm.my bucket list? Give a smile and an occasional hug to every person I meet for the rest of my life. I know that’s sorta weird but I’ve noticed there are so many unhappy people these days and it’s about all I can do to try and make one millisecond in their lives happy. Of course someone out there is gonna think I’ve gone completely nutso but that’s ok..they got a smile. Here’s one for you and yours
My bucket list for right now are prizes for Mystery Night I will be teaching and other classes I will be teaching in January.
I haven’t thought of a bucket list in a long time! I’m just starting the journey you’ve finished and raising little ones (4 yr-old boy and 16-month-old girl) right now. So my only hope is to get through the day most of the time! But I guess that one thing I’ve always wanted to do is write a book. It will probably never happen, at least not while the kids are little, but it sure is nice to dream.
What a gorgeous post! The biggest thing on my bucket list is to snorkel in Australia. We snorkel here and it’s beautiful, but I really want to see Australia and maybe find some Sea Dragons.
My bucket list includes a lot of travel. I was born in Germany but came to the US when I was only 4 months old so I would love to go back and see it. I would also love to go to Paris. I also want to take professional cooking classes. Not to work in a restaurant but just to be able to cook like a professional chef since I love to cook. Thank you for the great post and awesome giveaway!
Those cows are adorable. I’ve never been to Montana, but I want to go someday. One destination on my bucket list is a trip to Yosemite Nat’l Park in California, and another is to see Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons.
Dear Edyta, We all enjoyed you and your husband at our guild in July…I had it marked on my calendar for a long time before, and it was even better than I expected…you are the BEST teacher ever! Thanks for taking the time to teach. My bucket list would be a family reunion with all four of my kids and their kids, and extended family too. Time goes so fast; it seems a short time age that I had 4 little ones born in 5 years! Now in this jet-set world, 2 live on the East Coast and 2 in southern Michigan….it would be so wonderful to all hang out together somewhere and PLAY! Thanks again.
Wow, would love to win the bucket of goodies.
One thing on my bucket list is to visit Alaska, I think that would be awesome.
Thanks
Thank you for offering your giveaway.
Purchasing & learning to craft with a sewing machine is on my bucket list.
Hiking in the English countryside is on my bucket list as well as seeing most of my grandchildren graduate from high school before I “kick the bucket.”
Thanks for the lovely pattern! On my bucket list? I’d like to go back to Japan, where I haven’t visited for a long, long time, and buy vintage fabric at temple markets. Yum!
Oh, your book looks wonderful! So beautiful!
On my bucket list?
My very own longarm machine and the space to set it up!
Congrats on the new book! One of the top things on my bucket list is to make it Italy to see all of the Roman ruins. I have always wanted to see all of the the beautiful statues.
My bucket list: I’d like to make every pattern I’ve bought for quilts and stitchery. Yes, I am double addicted to the needlearts. I think your new book looks marvelous and a great addition to my library! Thanks for a fun post. And great ideas!
Edit, love your patterns and the way you use color. As a shop owner it’s hard to get out of town, so I with you when it comes to traveling, I would love to pack up the family and drive across this great big USA and take a SOUL Vacation, stopping wherever looks good. road trips have always big my biggest source of inspiration and creativity. Happy Quilting,
Sheri

I think winning that bucket of goodies just went to the top of my list. Also I would like to visit all of our national parks.
my bucket list is full of little things like learn to drive a stick shift: done! learn to quilt: done! and next up learn a second language, cant wait!
Thanks for the great bag pattern and Congrats on your new book. I don’ t really have a bucket list…….I just go with the flows and see where life takes me. That bucket of goodies could start a bucket list for me!
on my bucket list…to go back to Greece with my husband and cruise around the islands.
Your book looks great. On the bucket list, a trip to Sweden someday…I would love to see that land of my ancestors!
A trip to the Houston show would be on my bucket list . With enough time to really see and enjoy it all (and , of course, a really huge pile of money to use on all the “gotta haves” I would find.)
Your book looks great, your Country Fair post was fun, Loved your video on the bag, and that basket of goodies looks wonderful. So many things on my bucket list! I’d like to ride in a bi-plane, a blimp and a hot air balloon! I’d like to attend the quilt show in Houston and Paducah…it would be even better if I won a ribbon! I would love it if both of our children and their families lived in the same town/county my husband and I do. Thank you.
I really admire your work – you have a wonderful way of expressing yourself through fabric and thread. As far as a bucket list, I never really had one. I mean, I have things that I’d love to do before I die, there are just too many!!
Ok, just one would be a lovely, long road trip visiting some of the places that I’m used to flying over on a hurried trip to Michigan and from Florida. That’s alot to ask for, I think!!! It’s fun to dream.
I have yet to write my children’s book and also to visit Houston Quilt Market and Paducah. Also would like to get a group of sewing friends together and rent a cabin in Arkansas for a week. Fun!!!
My bucket list includes a long list of projects that I hope to make sure I don’t sit still too long to finish! There is a whole world to see and so many adventures waiting! Love your new fabric line – congrats on the new book!
Awesome book, one of the things on my bucket list would be to go to Fiji.
The book looks wonderful and I can’t wait to add it to my collection. At the top of my Bucket List is visiting Tinsel Trading in New York in person! I’m a quilter, a sewer, a ribbon worker and a button and trim collector. So many collections, so little time!
On my bucket list- to have my passport stamped – to see the fall colors in New England-an Alaska cruise, there is more, it goes on and on. Thanks for your inspiration to us all. Love the pattern, and the new book looks great.
My twin niece & nephew are starting college this year. It’s a huge adjustment for their whole family! Of course, I’ve made dorm quilts for both of them.
My bucket list included a Baltimore album style quilt but I never could find a book of blocks I liked until I saw your Hop To It! book; I fell in love instantly! I’m slowly improving my hand applique skills and have completed 5 blocks. I’m saving the charming bunny for the last block!
on my bucket list???? first I need to make a list I’m so bad in the list department ! Oh the power of the written word. If I make a list I think i’m going to start a Quilt bucket list. Thanks for a chance to win your delightful bucket of goodies. Loved your little/big bag. thank you. janita
Sky diving is on my bucket list
Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh the new book looks like a must have. I have several of your patterns and love them all. Thanks for being in the Moda Blog Hop.
Of course there are a lot of quilts (including your Crystal Ball quilt) I want to make. I’d like to travel, first to see my daughter in Montreal, then to go to Alaska.
I am looking forward to seeing your new book!
OMG, I have sooo many things on my bucket list. I have to go to Ireland and Austria.
I have to make a quilt for my bed not everyone elses. I have to learn to bake bread (not using a machine). I have to meet my birth mother and father. I think thats enough for one post. I LOVE your bag!!! The fabrics are BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank You for shareing.
I can’t wait to see your new book! Looks fantastic!
My bucket list has lots of quilts that I want to attempt (and complete) for my family and friends.
Your designs are beautiful.. congrats on your new book.
My bucket list – a trip to Wisconsin for the many quilt shops and many lakes for my hubby to fish while there. Also a trip to Houston Quilt Show.
Thank you for the chance to win your bucket of goodies!
I’ve never actually written down a bucket list, but I’d love to go to the Houston quilt show one day and actually finish a king size quilt for my bed!
Your book looks wonderful! My Bucket List has many things on it, but the wish closest to my heart is to someday make a quilt with my Mom…she doesn’t think she can sew well enough to put a quilt together. Maybe I can talk her into it when I have my knee replaced this winter…:D
On my bucket list is an anniversary cruise with my dear hubby, fostering rescued dachshunds, making quilts for each of my close friends, learn to knit socks, etc……
Thanks for a wonderful country fair post! Congratulations on your new book! Will look for it in the shops.
My bucket list is always changing, but one thing I do hope to do some day is visit the Pacific Ocean. I think I’d like to go to San Diego because whenever I watch the Weather Channel, the weather there seems perfect. Thanks for the instructions to make your “Small to Big Tote” – that’s a certain addition to my “to do” list!
Wow, your Bucket is now on my Bucket List! What great stuff. Montana is tops on my bucket list. And, the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. Next year for sure!
I can’t wait to see your new book and your Indian Summer fabric line. I love County Fairs too and they are in full swing here in Ohio.
With fingers crossed, thanks.
Connie
I would love to go on a quilting cruise! But this bucket would make a nice consolation prize.
The top (or is it the bottom?) of my bucket list is to figure out a method for physically challenged quilters to cut, piece and quilt a quilt. I myself am in a wheelchair and have problems not only cutting from a sitting position (not enough strength) but reaching across the table top (I veer off every time – arrrg!) to rotary cut strips of fabric. I have already figured out that I can subcut strips with my Ergo 2000 rotary cutter after using my GO! fabric cutter to cut strips. Yay!
I’m thinking I need to use a “quilt as you go” method (haven’t found one I really like yet) to quilt the blocks since if I get on the floor it would be a situation of “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”. Still working on it but before I kick the “you know what” I’m gonna figure it out.
Thanks for hosting the Moda Country Fair Blog Hop.

Love the bag and all your Quilts!
I loved watching your video of quilt market. Good thing I can’t go as my want to do list would grow exponentially! The bucket looks like lots of fun!
I don’t really have a bucket list my goal is just to try and enjoy each day as it comes and not worry so much about what the future may hold. I know who holds my future!
love all the quilting goodies and will be reading your book whether I win or not!:)
At the tops of my bucket list is to ride AmTrak to Canada and then across Canada. Hopefully some day we will do that
What a great little bag, I need one of those! Thanks for the pattern! I love the look and idea of your new book, too, I can’t wait to see it! But I hope I win it! I have never thought of having a bucket list, but I know there are so many parts of this country I have never seen that I would love to, I would like to take a few months and just travel around to all of them. And then go on an Alaskan Cruise!! I hope I win!
Jenny in Florida
On my bucket list is to explore the maritime provinces of Canada. Each year I try to explore as much of my country as I can. Being on the west coast, the east coast seams so far away. Thanks for the great giveaway.
What a wonderful gift and a cute bag! Thank you for the opportunity.
That is a sneaky bag. It is now on my bucket list. As for dstinations, it seems like Mn would be a fine place to Shop Hop. I’d like a Quilting Cruise, too! I’ll add them both. Thanks for the inspiration!
have met in my nursing caree, I love your fabric it is not dark but it is not pastel either. best of luck in your adventure
Great giveaway! Your book sounds so interesting…and I love your fabric. Thanks for the chance!
I don’t have a bucket list – everyday I try to incorporate into my life and work what I most enjoy. I work two jobs and fit in the things I enjoy as well. Compromise = contentment.
One of the things on my bucket list is to enter a quilt in a major quilt show. It doesn’t have to win a ribbon – just to be entered.
It was fun to watch your video about the bag that “grows”!! Very clever indeed! Congratulations on having your new book published, that is quite an achievement. At the top of my bucket list would be a trip to Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry since I love country music.
I can relate to the sadness of having our babies leaving home, my baby is a junior in college! On my bucket list are trips to Europe and Hawaii!!!!
My buket list is very looong Gettin to Europe and their quilt countries, and making an art quilt. Thanks agnespat
Love the bag! What great projects on the Moda Country Fair….excited to check each day. My number one item on my bucket list is to go to Montana. I’ve always wanted to see what that part of the country looks like..
I don’t have a bucket list. Life is way to short to put things I want to do off until later. I have a friend that says it should be a book it list
deb – the quilting queen
Congratulations on your book. How exciting for you. I hope it sells really well for you. It does look like a great book to have.
Your bag is fabulous. LOVED the video; very funny.
My bucket list really doesn’t have a lot on it since my number 1 from my list was realized when I finally met the most awesome guy and married him. After two very bad marriages this man is all I could ask for. I would love to travel to Maine and see all the historic fishing villages and have my #1 favorite thing for every single meal each day. I just LOVE Lobster and living in the midwest we’re lucky to see a large lobster without spending about $50 on one. The other things on my list are to travel to Mount Rushmore now that I’m older as well as to go to Paducah to the quilt show at least once. Of course, in front of going to Paducah would be to win the lottery so I have lots of money to spend.
Hmm… I’ve never really thought about a bucket list. I think I’d like to travel across the US when we retire, visiting lots of historically significant places I suppose. Hubby isn’t a big traveler though, so I don’t see us doing that when we retire. Thanks for sharing with us.
On my bucket list: Go to Montana – Glacier Nat’l Park, Go to a quilt show like Sisters Quilt Show In Oregon, Ride in a Hot Air Balloon, Go to Italy, Own a Tin Lizzy longarm quilt machine, Move to a house in the Mountains.
Love the bag. Can’t wait to see your new book. In my bucket list would be several weekly retreats with the “girls” to sew and stitch (for the next 10 years). Take the Quilt Sampler magazine and visit all the shops in each issue.
Bucket List? How funny. That topic came up today while we were riding in a float at the Veteran’s Parade in Poway, CA. One of the ladies jokingly said that she could cross off riding a float in a parade on her bucket list. We were representing California Chapter 70′s Disabled American Veterans. It was gratifying to hear all the thank you’s from the parade viewers. As for my own bucket list, I think that one day I’d like to visit the East Coast in the Fall. Can’t wait to see a copy of your new book. What an accomplishment!
Congratulations on your new book. Can’t wait to get it as I have all the others. Love your quilts. My bucket list is to travel west of the Mississippi by car and explore some of the great wonders that God gave us to enjoy. And to travel across Canada by train.
What a beautiful book! What a gift to be so talented! Top of my bucket list is a trip to Hawaii to see the traditional Hawaii applique quilts and for my husband to see the volcanoes. My quilting bucket list would be to go to Houston Market and finish a 1930′s style quilt.Thanks for the Pattern.
Your book sounds wonderful, Congratulations! The bag is adorable, thanks for the fun pattern. On my bucket list would be to see the ocean. I’m from the midwest, so I don’t get out much, someday:)
Thank You,
Karen M
Congratulations on the book! I feel your mixed emotions with your daughter leaving for university. We homeschooled our four children all the way through high school and I hated when they left! But they are all hard working adults now and we are proud of each and every one of them.
Now that they are all adults, I have time to do the things I enjoy…..like quilting! Thank you for the opportunity to win this wonderful prize!
Love the bag! On my bucket list is an extended trip to the US with a big quilt show, some retreats, lots of quilt shops, an Alaskan cruise thrown in……..I could go on and on. Just need to win the lottery first.
The Number 1 ,at the top of my list is a cruise to Alaska…and hopeully,God willing I will make it there within the next 3 years… Thanks for the chance at prizes.
Linda
Congratulations on your newest book. On my bucket list: Finishing the many craft projects that are started.
Congrats on the book! Your booth and bag are beautiful. One thing I would love to do is take a road trip to the east coast and stop and tons of quilts shops on the way. Thanks for the chance to win your awesome giveaway.
I have a few things on my bucket list. Houston, a quilting cruise ( or 2).
Watching my grands grow up !
One thing towards the top of my bucket list is write a fiction novel. It doesn’t have to be published, it can be just for me, I just want to do it
Looks like a book I’d love to have, and the other goodies are tempting as well. Congrats on the new book!
Oh, that purse is not only beautiful, it’s clever!!!!! On my bucket list I have visiting some islands: Prince Edward Island, Macinac Island, Banbridge Island, and Vancouver Island!
Your new book looks wonderful…one thing about some of your quilts is that I Love the sense of looking at a tapestry…you have a wonderful sense of color. I’m drawn to many of your quilts because of your color sense.
I don’t really have a bucket list other than to be sure that I make a full size adult quilt for each of my grandchildren (9, 7, 5, & 1) to pass on someday. I should probably stick to something traditional, although lately I’ve been so drawn to some really bright and modern quilts. I’ve never made a pineapple quilt and yours are wonderful that’s something I should do…oh so I guess I am developing a bucket list of sorts! LOL
Thank your for the opportunity to win.
On my bucket list: see the Grand Canyon; visit California and the Pacific Northwest; attend Primitives of the Midwest; visit Glacier National Park. Your giveaway looks fantastic…..also your book!
I would love to visit Hawaii… Thank you for your tutorial and for the chance to win these great gifts
Congrats on your new book! My bucket list begins with a trip to Hawaii and the list keeps getting longer and longer! Thanks for the giveaway.
I have no desire to travel, and am quite content to just enjoy my quilting and my friends so my bucket list is made up of several quilt patterns that I really want to make. I love the new Indian Summer line. I would also design my own row quilt.
I just ‘discovered’ your quilt books this summer and while I am not a batik fan, I love the way you put the batik colors together and make vintage looking quilts! My BFF quilting friends all love batiks so I introduced them to your books! My bucket list would include going to Europe — especially France and Italy for the art history. We’ve been to Asia three times and we loved it (I’m Chinese and Thai) but now it is DH’s turn (he’s Irish, Polish and German). Hang in there with sending your eldest to college! We have 5 kids and I remember anguishing 28 years ago about moving our first born into the nursery across the hall from our bedroom! He just moved to Mexico for three years. Our daughter and her new husband just moved to North Carolina for their residencies (pediatrics and ER). One of the twins just went to Toledo, Spain on Labor Day for her semester abroad. Other twin is at Notre Dame. Youngest is a senior in high school. At one point this summer, we had one in Mexico, daughter and her husband in Kenya, one twin in Lansing, MI and youngest hiking in the Grand Canyon (and one twin at home!). So now it is odd to just have one child at home. But we really love having all or some subset of the kids at home. Thank you for your bag pattern! I have already made the spool pincushion from your website!
Seems my bucket list is predominantly quilts I’d like to make. Aside from quilting tho, I’d love to see all the National Parks or take a cooking class in a Tuscan villa. . . wouldn’t that be grand?
Wow! What an awesome give-a-way! You are such an inspiration. Thank you for so generously sharing your wealth of knowledge with all of us.
As for my bucket list, lets see, I would love to go back to Ukraine to visit the friends we made there so many years ago and to go Poland to visit my family there. I also would love to design one applique quilt. I actually have planned out 2 blocks for it already.
I’m so looking forward to your book, it looks beautiful! I’m in the Alaska bucket brigade.
Congratulations on your book! Traveling the Labrador Highway again with our family is on my bucket list!
Congratulatioms on the new book.The tote is very cute.
On my bucket list is travel to Canada,USA, and finish my Ufos.
Congrats on your new book,a must have. I have been to Houston and Paducah but would go back in a second,too amazing for words. My bucket list is to travel the U.S. Also to finish my UFOS.
Thanks, Edyta for your day @ Moda County Fair. Love your bag, and can’t wait to make it. My bucket list is long, but one thing near the top is to see the East Coast during the fall, when the leaves change color. I was a life-long resident of California, until the military moved my husband and our family to Alaska last year, which was something to see on my bucket list, never dreaming I would live in Alaska. You should come here someday, it is beautiful! Thanks again, Edyta! PS-I am doing your Farmhouse Block of the Month-I love it!
Oh my bucket list has several trips: Alaska, Paris and Hawaii–to name a few. To retire and spend my time relaxed and sewing/quilting! To see my children as adults, and married and happy! Finish a few of your patterns!
Love all your patterns, have several and love your giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
Bucket List – A trip to Italy…and to open my own store someday (maybe it’ll be a quilt shop).
Fun bag! Thanks for the chance to win such a great give-away. My bucket list includes a trip to Germany where my husband’s family is from.
Oh for me its a trip to Ireland and France and a cruise in around Italy and Greece…lets not forget Spain! And I’d love to do a couple od the statewide shop hops…TX and MN, wouldn’t they been fun a big bus of quilty friends? Thanks for the chance to win such a delightful bucket!
Wow that’s some bucket! I would be thrilled with just the book, am looking forward to reading it one way or the other. I have two destinations on my bucket list (well, at the top): Florence, Italy and the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland. Someday I hope to see both places!
On my bucket list – to visit Banff National Park in Canada – gorgeous!
Bucket list? Hmm, if I died tomorrow I would not go out unhappy, so I guess every day is another drop in the bucket and when it’s full, well, that’s that. In the meantime, I’ll continue to enjoy my family and friends, quilting, knitting, and laughing. A lot of each, please.
Love your fabric and your quilts. My bucket list would include actually finishing a double wedding ring quilt. Thanks for your blog entry.
I am a pantograph designer, going to a quilt show and seeing some of my patterns sewn on to the quilts of strangers is on my bucket list. Other than that I guess having less than 4 quilts on my “to do list” would be great.
My bucket list includes teaching my 4-year-old granddaughter to quilt. She loves fabric, especially pink fabric, and we have been cutting out 6″ squares and stitching them together on the machine. Thanks to inspiration from you, I am now displaying some of my quilts in baskets. Your prize bucket looks fabulous!
My bucket list has a lot of traveling. I really want to travel all over Europe!
Travel is definitely dominate on my bucket list. My grandmother visited all 50 states, so I’d like to follow in her footsteps and do the same. I’d also like to visit Germany and Holland where many of my ancestors came from.
I love the bag and your post. I have so many things on my bucket list. First is to schedule more time to travel, I would love to visit Ireland and I have always wanted to take a trip to Hawaii. As far as quilting I would love to master applique, so far I am just a beginner but I’m working on it.
My bucket list is long but mostly I would just love to have the time and health to do many more quilts as it is my passion. Now I have the time but my health doesn’t always give me the energy to sew but I do as much as I can. I love that bag and I think I will make it for my Santa Swap.
I’m loving the country fair! Can’t wait for your new book also! On my bucket list? Visiting Seattle, geocaching in Oregon, finishing my denim quilt, attending Paducah!
I would love to travel to Sweden and other countries in Europe someday! The new book looks incredible. Thanks for a chance at the bucket!
My bucket list includes having my whole family (brothers, sisters in law, nieces and nephews and my Mom) going on a vacation somewhere together. I think there would be 26 people! But what fun we would have. Your video of the bag was awesome especially when you gave the thumbs up!
Your book looks like a must have. I can’t wait to read it. Thank-you for the bag pattern. On my bucket list is to get to my goal weight, go on an Alaskan cruise, and travel to Italy.
Lovely bag pattern! You are so talented. I also have sent my “baby” off to school this year and yes it is a bittersweet time for all of us.
I don’t really have a bucket list per se but I am always longing for the time when I could quit work and quilt more.
Hmmm… my bucket list? Never have thought of it in those terms before, but my dream is to live on and run a homestead or mini farm. One day!
Wonderful blog and projects! I just love visiting. It’s so homey and comfy.
Thanks so much for the chance to win all of those goodies!! Bucket list, well, would love to go to Ireland, go back again to the coast of Maine, and go to Paducah for the quilt show! Also wish there were a few more hours in each day to sew!!
On my list is visiting the remaining sixteen states we haven’t seen yet, including a lobster dinner in Maine. We keep trying, but life keeps getting in the way. Thanks for the project. It will make wonderful gifts.
I would love to go back to Italy so that is on the top of my bucket list.
Thanks for the chance to win the lovely bucket of prizes! Looks like a great giveaway!
A trip to the Gran Canyon is on my list.

My bucket list includes a trip to Hawaii and a trip to Alaska. Thank you for the chance to win some goodies.
Oh, I don’t think there is a big enough bucket for my list…lol I love your new book it’s always great to here the stories of our quilts. I really love the star quilt. But I can’t download the pattern for the tote bag. It keeps telling me the file is corrupt. I hope you can help me with this. I love that bag and one can never have too many bags.
I’ve always wanted to go to see Mt. Rushmore! Thanks for a chance to win!
I have an extensive bucket list…I would like to finish at least half of my favourite projects while travelling around Australia and I would also like to travel back to France, Italy and England…and extend my overseas travelling…
I truly just LOVE my life…
I would love to have more time, I want to finish an applique quilt. I have your books and would love the new one. I think your work is great.
On my bucket list is teaching my 5 young granddaughters to sew and quilt. I just bought one of your books today and am looking forward to your new one. Would love to win your bucket!
I haven’t given my “bucket list” much thought. I am pretty much content, but I would love to take a road trip across the U.S. (we homeschool) and actually see and touch history! One of my dreams is to visit Yellowstone National Park!
Can’t wait to see your new book! Have your patterns. Bucket list? I have never thought of putting things on a list. My one true hope is that my husband and I have our health and are able to travel the United States when he retires. Thanks for the chance to win!
bucket list item – my sister and I are 51 weeks apart in age; for one week each year we are the same age. Our dream (coming soon!) is to both be 50 together in Italy! I turn 50 on 5/20/2012 and she turns 50 on 5/13/2013…We will hopefully be spending the week of 5/13-20/2013 in Italy – TOGETHER!
I really loved your post especially your comments about Montana (I was born and raised there!). I really miss the big blue sky of Montana and being close to my sister. My only other item on my bucket list is to see the Sistine Chapel. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Well on my bucket list is to lead someone to Christ this year.
My bucket list includes watching my grandkids grow up, going to the Sisters Oregon quilt show, zip lining, attending the Houston Quilt show, and winning your bucket of goodies. And that is just a few items on my list, love your fabric and books…
My bucket list includes a road trip through New England. I lived there as a child but didn’t appreciate the scenery or the history like I would now. Love your designs, they are refreshing!
I actually haven’t composed a list, but I guess the one thing I would love to do before I kick my bucket is go to Japan.
I would love to visit Italy and England. someday…..
My husband and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage this Monday and I am learning to be content with my wonderful family. My son runs an orphanage in the Philippines and I guess my wish would be for us to be able to go see him at Christmas. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I recently heard that someone took the ferry across Lake Michigan at night, so I added that to my bucket list!

On my bucket list: to learn to play the drums…and to become a better quilter, of course.
Love your projects!
I love your work! On my bucket list is to own a longarm machine and be able to make beautiful quilts on it.
For the longest time I didn’t know what this whole bucket list was that everyone was talking about. I finally broke down and asked someone and they thought I was crazy that I didn’t about the whole “list” thing.
One of the things on my “bucket list” is going on a mission trip to Uganda. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent with all of us!
I’ve always wanted a cabin in the woods.
Love your blog! Right now my bucket list consists of a trip to the east coast to see the fall colors from Maine to Maryland.
Thank you for the bag pattern and your book looks like a must have. I don’t really have a bucket list but I would love to visit Hawaii before I kick.

Well, I had the ocean on my bucket list, and actually had the opportunity to spend a week there this summer in North Carolina.

Congratulations on the new book! On my bucket list is to one day drive a dog sled in Alaska.
My bucket list includes Montana, too, along with most of the states in the west. I’d love to go to Yellowstone Park, too.
Loved your video demonstration of your project! I don’t know that it would fool my husband, though… I have two bucket lists, the one with the things I want to do and the one with the things I have to do…but keep postponing. On top on them are: finishing my own bed quilt (somehow other projects sneak in) and organizing my financial files. Guess which one is which?
On my quilting related bucket list, first place is, attending to a Market and to a International quilt show. The second place is for a trip to Lancaster County. And I could go on and on…
Congratulations on your book and thanks for the chance. Love from Costa Rica.
Your book will be on my list.

Enjoyed your blog. My bucket list has a cruise on it. I would like to see Alaska. I love your bucket list gift idea. Thanks so much.
Would love to win your bucket of goodies. Your patterns and fabrics are beautiful.
There are so many “big” things I still want to do. Traveling around the world, learning to sail, learning to fly a plne, learning a new language and then live in that country–not sure which one yet, but I have multiple places in mind. I do stay grounded with my everyday life and sewing. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the video of the convertible bag. We are having a shop hop here in Connecticut, so one of those would definitely come in handy.
I hope to take a trip to Australia some day and my husband and I are slowly trying to visit all the ballparks in America.
Love the bag! I want to go to Hawaii with my daughter & grandsons. I haven’t been for over 20 years & want to go back!
I want to see the Golden Gate Bridge!!!
Traveling Europe is definitly on my bucket list. Thanks for the great bag pattern, can’t wait to make it.
My bucket list has so many ideas. I want to visit the Greek islands with my husband.
Thanks for a chance to win some of your great quilty fun.
Your county fair brings back memories of the Easter Show that we had when i was growing up- the food, displays, rides and show bags… On my bucket list is to be able to make the quilts and ideas that are stored up in my “I will make them one day ” list and also I would dearly love one day for my husband and I to travel right around Australia- I would like to explore more than the East coast where I grew up and was familiar with
before we moved here to New Zealand
Thank you for such a wonderful post and project! A trip to England, Scotland, Ireland, and France is on my bucket list. I would love to take a long trip and have lots of time to explore these countries.
Thanks for the giveaway! Bicycling through Europe is on my bucket list, and of course sewing through my stash!
i “MOO” @ the cows too! My bucket list is in flux all the time, if you can even call it a list. I would like to be known as someone who made the world better by being here. I would love to travel to other countries; meet some of my blog buddies. I do want to move to a warmer environment; ride my motorcycle all over the country and in Canada too . I love your books and patterns and of course the fabric. I hope that you are enjoying the journey; you bring so much to the world of quilting; thank you!
Merrie:)
Important items on my bucket list would be to implement changes that I think about but have not yet put into practice. Fun things would be: to travel to Alaska, Ireland, England, Scotland, and Hawaii; to attend a quilt retreat; and have my on sewing room.
Thank you
What a cute video of you showing your bag at Spring Market. I first learned of your beautiful work when you were featured in American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine. This past Spring I purchased the “Friendship Strips and Scraps” book. It is so beautiful and inspiring. Our guild was inspired to do the strip exchange you suggest. It was so much fun to see the projects everyone made with their strips. I would be thrilled to win your bucket. On my bucket list, in no particular order: cruise to Alaska, own a small farm with a beautiful old farm house and red barn, Christmas in Colorado Rockies.
My bucket list: to to the huge highway of flee market out east, visit Italy and Venice, learn a new language, go on a cruise to Alaska and finish at least half of my projects (don’t want to get TOO carried away)
I would like to go back to Italy and share the amazingness of my first trip there with my husband:) I would also like for him and I to go to England and watch Manchester United play:) Thank you so much for the giveaway!
Bucket list! Grow old so I will have all this time to quilt!!
Edyta, got a kick out of your Shop Hop Bag video. Love the county fairs, grandkids are active in 4-H; so we attend every year and see all of the lovely things everyone has made. My bucket list is BIG and I’m getting older. Would love to take a train ride across the U.S., a cruise to Hawaii, Celilne Dion in Vegas — these are just some of the travels in my bucket list.
I love the bag! I will be making it to take on an annual fabric trip to PA. On my bucket list is Bermuda, Alaska, and Hawaii.
I must say….I ♥love♥ your sweet boot on your porch!
Too many things on my ‘bucket-list’ to list.
I’m finishing two quilts for my first two grand girlies…..embroidery and all.
I will finish by Christmas *this* year.
On my bucket list…to make a traditional Baltimore Album quilt…Perhaps a trip to Greece and a chance to spoil some grandchildren…
Thank you for the pattern for the versatile bag-start out small and go larger if necessary. Definitely a good bag for shopping!
Some items on my bucket list: visit Hawaii, Australia, zip-line, road trip on Route 66
Love the tote bag! My bucket list is getting longer every day but some of the places I would like to visit are: Australia, England/Scotland, Hawaii, and Africa. One of my quilty wishes on my list is to be able to go to market in Houston again. Your fabric and patterns are beautiful. Thanks!
Your new book is beautiful. My bucket list includes accumulating enough walking miles to have gone around the world. I have walked over 21,ooo miles in the last 20 years.
My bucket list includes visiting Venice, Italy. Thanks for the giveaway! j-j-s AT juno DOT com
My bucket list that I had at the beginning of summer is almost all crossed off! Two things still left on it are a trip to Zion National Park and a trip to a small town in Wisconsin where my grandparents met. As a cancer survivor I have decided it is time to do things that I have always thought about but haven’t gotten around to doing
My bucket list item….to spend a glorious vacation with my whole family. Love the bucket full of goodies…how wonderful!!
My bucket list includes Australia and Hawaii. Your new book looks great-thanks for a chance to win.
I would love to make a Baltimore Quilt for my bed, I have been quilting for 20 years and it is the one quilt my husband has always wanted for our bed.
So I guess that is on my list, I also would love to go back to the US as I loved it there last year.
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway and your great youtube, loved it.
Besides having more time to quilt (retirement is #1 on my bucket list), one of the other biggies is a trip to Hawaii. The other items are too numerous to mention. Hope I land the items in your “bucket”…thanks for the chance to win.
I am glad you liked Montana. I spent the last 9 years there, and it was wonderful for the late spring, all summer, early fall…but once the snow starts I hated it! I don’t do well with snow, ice, below 0 temps…As for the fair, I eat reasonably well most the year, fairs I go wild. I know someday I will have to shate adn watch how much I eat, but for now, I go to town (and share with my little ones, but they don’t eat much) so bring on the corn dog, cotton candy, shaved ice, elephant ears, scones, jams, nachos, bring it all on baby! One day a year I can do it!
Firstly, thank you for the lovely bag pattern. I love it! I think I will make the small tote.
So many cross-stitch pieces that I want to complete and start stitching then there’s small and bed sized quilts I want to make (a red & white is one of them). I am also hoping to improve my garment sewing skills and bring it up many notches.
So you see Edyta, I need a couple more buckets!
Barbara
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
I’d like to own my own house and have my own business. Though I prefer to think of them as goals rather than my bucket list.
What a great bag! Loved the concept – what they don’t know can’t hurt them!
I am really enjoying your blog and patterns! My bucket list right now is pretty short, just to be able to run a couple of miles without stopping to walk. I’m not sure if it will ever come to be, but I keep trying!
What a nice idea this Moda Country Fair. Thank you for the pattern. Hope to win
Me again. On my bucket list is to put my daughters thruough University starting with my eldest girl who will be going away next year.
Congratulations on your book! A fall trip to Boston is on my bucket list. Thanks for the tote pattern!
I would love to win your bucket!!
Thanks much for the offering the bag pattern. Love your quilts, especially your applique.
By middle age one would think that my bucket list would be getting shorter but as things are crossed off, more things are added. One of the things on my bucket list is to visit Ireland–the home of my father’s ancestors. I want to find out why they came to Canada if possible.
Your new book looks wonderful.
My bucket would be overflowing if I filled it with my list of things I would like to do. First I would love to try your new pattern and fabric!
My bucket list would be quilting in Montana. My dad has a cabin in a part that looks just like your pics, including the cows! It is my favorite place to be. So calm and peaceful.
On my bucket list is too travel around the US and just see the sights. Oh and maybe all the quilt shops along the way. LOL
My bucket list…visit Scotland, learn to play the violin (add to that, get my dad’s violin repaired), move somewhere away from the desert, and….win your bucket! Thanks for the opportunity.
My life is one Big Bucket List!
) Top of the list would be to go on a Quilting Retreat to someplace exotic…like Hawaii! Love the bag pattern…thank you!! And thanks for the chance to win your wonderful give away!
Take care!
Paulette
My bucket list has a trip to Morocco on it. I have always wanted to go there and one day I will. Also a trip to Scotland to visit my family’s grave site going back to the 1300′s. It’s a special place to me and I’d like to go there at least once more before I die.
Bucket list: time, quiet music, no worries
Bucket list: a trip to Sweden, a little vintage trailer to restore, a long-arm, and about a zillion quilting and knitting projects…
Love your fabrics!
My bucket list has a trip to Italy on it.
What a great tribute to your Grandma Anna!! Your quilts are more intricate than I can aspire to but I will try the Aurfil 50 wt. thread to see if I can be more accurate.
Love the picture of your family’s feet at the beach with the sunset. I, too, love sunset and having a small cottage on the coast of Oregon is on my bucket list.
Thanks, Edyta!
My bucket list includes travel! One place especially would be Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. The Mister keeps telling me maybe next year (for the last 4 years).
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
On my bucket list is a trip to the quilt show in Houston! Love your bag pattern, thank you!
A few years ago at work all of the ladies had a lunch and we shared our bucket list. One of the items on mine was to make a quilts for each of my siblings (i have 8 still living) and give them to each of them as a birthday gift. I have made five. I am really grateful the last three are in December, it gives me 4 months. Thanks for the giveaway.
My bucket list at the moment consists of getting through school. If only I could figure out what to be when I grow up…
Thanks for your post and the free pattern!! One thing on my bucket list is to finish my first quilt…I have made smaller projects but haven’t finished my first BIG quilt. Hope to win your “bucket” which might help me finish that first quilt
Thanks for the lovely giveaway!!! Traveling to Europe is on my bucket list.
My heart is with you as your daughter starts college, our daughter just got engaged in August, and I have those same excited/happy/nervous/torn feelings as we begin to make Wedding plans !!! Can’t believe our once little girl and tomboy teenager is now 26 and soon to be wed ! Thanks for the great tote pattern and the giveaway !!
Oops sorry I forgot the Bucket List part !! I want to take an Alaskan Cruise and also go to see Norway & Sweden, where my grandparents came from.
I love, love, love all of your work! So inspiring! I’d like to think my bucket list would have me using up my entire stash, but I’ll just settle for making a Burgoyne Surrounded quilt one day!
I believe that visiting England would have to be on the top of my bucket list. It would take care of so many other things listed in my bucket.
Love the bucket! One biggie on my bucket list is to visit Alaska. Please add my name to the hat. Thanks!
So much to do and never enough time! I think at the top of my bucket list is to retire in one year and spend time with my new first grandchild that will be born at the end of this year. Can’t wait! And of course spend more time with my husband.
Congratulations on your new book. Look forward to seeing it. As for my bucket list, it is all encompassing in regards to my quilting and that is to actually finish all the projects started and lined up to do!! I could only hope to live that long…..maybe 120??
Thanks for your beautiful patterns. I love them all! The bag pattern is really appreciated. I can’t wait to make several for Christmas gifts!
Bucket list…enjoy today and tomorrow to the fullest with my family… To finish the multitude of UFO’s…some day take a class w/ Mary Lou Weidman.
My bucket list is to make all the quilts stirring around in my head. I’m so excited about this blog tour.
What an absolutely wonderful bucket. Someone will be a very lucky quilter. I guess this is a bucket list item. Right now it seems just like a goal. In seven weeks I will retire. WooHoo!! I plan to play with my 401Q that I’ve been collecting, and I also hope to sew a wonderful, workable retirement wardrobe. Sew, sew, sew – that’s what I plan to do!!
I have many things on my bucket list. Finishing quilts is at the top. Thinning out my stash for charity is second. Teaching again is there too!
A long trip to Paris is at the top of my bucket list. Finishing all the quilts I would like to make would be second. Thanks for the chance to win your bucket!
A big thing of me is to make the pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago in France and Spain.
I am really enjoying your blog and patterns! My bucket list is short, just to work up to being able to run a couple of miles without walking. I’m not sure if it’s feasible, but I’m trying.
I would LOVE to go to Sisters, Oregon for their quilt show. It would be such a great experience to go see the town all decked out with quilts!
one item on my list is to go back to my roots in beautiful tennessee and it would really be special to share the adventure with my sis, Bev. Thanks for the chance to win your fab bucket !
I’d love to win the bucket! On my list is learning to play the violin, traveling to a Europe, and becoming a super-quilter!
Hi! I love your tote pattern! I have so many things on my bucket list, it’s hard to narrow it down, but I think one of my priorities would be to go to Colonial Williamsburg, and also go to Disneyworld with my entire family.
Thanks for the opportunity to win your drawing.

My bucket list includes going to Spain and France to learn about my ancestry…

Your tote is such a cute idea!
On my bucket list is to adopt
My bucket list includes trying to hit most of the 50 states. I’m going to cross off several more next week when we fly into Boston and then do a quick northeastern sweep. Hope to see some inspiring fall colors along the way and hopefully a quilt shop or two. Your book looks fascinating as I too enjoy the stories behind the designs.
On my bucket list is to take a train trip across Canada (we have lived here for 7 years), make quilts for my 3 adult children, go back to college, among other things. Thanks for the chance to enter!
I try not to ponder too long on the bucket list (hereafter know as T.BL!) because I fear that they’ll stay as a list ;} but, special-you requested, so here goes: finish all quilting-projects that are in my head, leisurely RVing throughout most of the USA (I so agree about Montana, add Wyoming into there!), horseback into Yellowstone Nat’l Park, ride in a hot-air balloon, tubing down a lazy stream………:)
On my bucket list: I want to live on a farm and be a farmer. Raise our own veggies and fruits. Raise our own animals for food, and for milk, eggs, etc. I also want to adopt some horses who just need a loving home to live out their lives. I’d also love to be a sanctuary for homeless rabbits.
Thank you for the giveaway!
I don’t know that I have ever really thought about a bucket list. Have had a busy life with kids, working, grandkids, quilting the past five years and just never thought about it. I would like to go to Hawaii and of course finish all those UFOs in my sewing room closet. Thanks to win such a delightful ‘bucket full’.
Your new book looks very interesting. I like finding out the story behind things, why people make something or do something. One thing on my bucket list is to visit as many of our national parks as I can. I have read about them and seen specials on the and want to see them in person.

Have plenty of time for family and friends (right now the jobs don’t allow enough time).

What an amazing bag! Just right for shopping-can’t wait to make my own.
My bucket list includes going to see the rest of the historc ballparks in the U.S., My husband was gracioius enough to take me to the old Yankee stadium so I suppose I can endure a trip to Fenway! Besides, they some good quilt shops in Boston right? Go Yankees!
My bucket runneth over too, would love to travel and see all of the US states, Canada, Ireland and a cruise to the Greek Isles would be incredible. Batiks are not usually my favorite but I love how you use them in your picture quilts. Your “little” big bag is a really neat trick and it may end up on my bucket list too!
WOW! I love those fabrics. My top list is to visit the Rocky Mountains with my family and someday go to Italy. Thanks.
ah — bucket list. I keep meaning to make one of these up. Right now I think my dreams are to buy a fifth wheel and a big truck and tour the country for a year. I’d like to use up every bit of stash fabric I have (currently not too hard — I need to restock!), start a business where I’m doing something meaningful and that blesses others, and … and … and … I need to think on this more!

Still, someday, traveling to New Zealand and Australia is a dream of mine.

Like many others that have left comments my youngest will head off to college next weekend, we will be empty nestors.

Before the bucket list I just have to say how touching it was to read about sending your precious daughter off to college!

Oh yeah, and the bucket list: a nice long trip to Ireland and England!

One of the things on my bucket list is to visit Italy; I’d love to bike around Tuscany and sample food and wine.

What was she thinking?”

At the top of my bucket list is to have raised three happy, healthy women who are an asset to their generation.
Your designs are incredibly beautiful. One of the things on my bucket list is to write a story (short/long) about most of the quilts I’ve made. I firmly believe that every quilt tells a story.
I’d love to travel to Greece and visit the villages where my grandparents were born, walk the streets they walked, and meet relatives I have heard of but never seen. And I’d be thrilled to death to win the contents of that bucket!
Your bucket is much more full than my bucket list! The one thing I REALLY want to do is visit Hawaii. Well, actually I’d like to live there for a few years, but that probably isn’t going to happen, ha!
I would like to visit Paducah and Houston quilt shows someday. Also I would like to be able to create and finish tons of more projects/quilts in my life time giving to people to
bring them happiness. Your new book looks great and I am enjoying the Moda blog hop. Thanks for the chance to win.
love the bag! thanks for the pattern –
my bucket list – I am a fabric hoarder and I want to use it before I, well, kick the bucket!
Making a quilt is on my bucket list! I’m a cross-stitch fanatic (and designer)…I sew…I crochet…have always wanted to, but have never made a quilt!
My bucket list is pretty small. A trip to Alaska and maybe New York City would be great, and winning that bucket of fun stuff would be really nice.
Marsha
A trip to the Christmas markets in Germany is at the top of my bucket list.
I can’t wait to read you new book! Top of my bucket list is visiting Europe……, pretty much anywhere and everywhere.
Love your style firstly.
Bucket List. First I would love to be able to take our children on an African safari. I think it would amazing for them to experience
Love your fabric and the bag – thanks! My bucket list includes traveling to France, Italy and Ireland. I want to travel to CA to visit my family and my newest grandson. That would be really awesome!! I want to have more time to spend quilting and sewing for myself, my family and contributing to orphanages in Mexico and Haiti. My list goes on and on, but you get the idea.
Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway
great tote project – anything small that turns into big is so good for shopping, craft fairs, markets, or really just anytime. My bucket list contains the usual travel as much as possible, be able to sew full time etc. but one thing that has been on my list since I was probably 15 is to see a harp seal in real life – I’m hoping that I can still make at least this one – thanks for the giveaway
I don’t have a bucket list, it’s more of an industrial sized cauldron list….some of the things on it are to learn how to FMQ on a domestic machine…properly! Sew and design quilts, not just mug rugs….more bags than I care to count or name, I’d like to tour the world meeting all my blog friends, I want to go on a cruise, I’d like to open a successful craft business….and the list goes on and on and on, so I won’t bore you with it all. Congratulations on the book. Hugs Naomi
Visit Europe and Japan.
On my bucket list is a road trip to Thre Sisters in Oregon with my quilt friends.
Not sure I have a Bucket List. I wouldn’t mind finishing my projects!
I can relate to your letting go of your eldest baby. My youngest baby is a senior in high school; and I am about to experience an empty nest.
Hmmm, empty nest goes with a full bucket, right??
I have no bucket list. Guess I just roll with the flow, my life stays pretty exciting as it is. Love the bag and the book looks like it will be great to have. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
You are so clever! I love your bag and thank you for the pattern! I now have an idea for a christmas gift for my mom! On my bucket list is to travel to Europe soon also with my girls when they graduate from college!! Love this country fair blog!!
Thanks,
Colette
So much on my bucket list is done. That which matters most to me, which are launching two beautiful, bright, talented, kind, soulful young people into the world … well, my part is done.
And now the only thing aside from enjoying time with the people I love, is to make quilts (I’m a beginner at this) for all those people.
What a fabulous giveaway. Mostly I look forward to reading this book of quilt stories. This post, too, is a great read.
Mi único deseo es ver crecer a mis dos pequeñas sanas y felices.
Me encanta tu nuevo libro, se ve precioso y ojalá tuviese suerte y pudiese ganar el lo te de regalos.
Gracias !!!!!
On my bucket list would be to visit the good ole US of A and shop my little heart out in all of the pacthwork shops everywhere. A couple of national parks and visit the big apple. thnaks

My bucket is full with so many things to do, and I have to fill it some more while I would love to read your new book.
And while reading your book, it will give me some rest during the busy times I have, the rest I need so much.
Thankyou for the bag pattern. I love it.
What a generous and lovey giveaway! Love the bag pattern, that goes on my bucket list of things to make! But my bucket list of things to see – at the top is to see the Northern Lights!
I really like your tote pattern, I’m sure gonna make one.
On my bucket list? I’ve always wanted to go to Australia and travel around.
Jittina, the Netherlands
Wow, your giveaway is to die for!! I love this blog hop – it’s fab! I would love a chance to win anything!
My main bucket list wish is to recover from my cancer treatment – main priority at the moment and to visit New England in the Fall one day!
Thanks for the chance.

Just a couple of things on my bucket list – visit Wales, see the Grand Canyon, spend 2 weeks in Alaska, move back to Seattle, learn how to needle turn applique, take a watercolor class, totally pay off my debt. I think that my travel plans may impact the last item mentioned on my list! Lovely giveaway!!
On my quilty bucket list is a Storm at Sea quilt and on my life list is a Norwegian fjords cruise and a train trip across the Rockies.
Your book looks so great , your bag pattern is gorgeous !!

Ellen (Netherlands)
What a clever idea for a purse? Well, of course, making this purse is on my bucket list now. lol
My bucket list includes a trip back to Alaska. I’m an Army brat & we were stationed there in the early 60s & I would love to return. Thanks for the great giveaway.
It is such a bitter-sweet thing watching your children grow up and leave when all you’ve done for their first 18 years of life is to prepare them for that moment. Seeing them fly is the reward for all that hard work.
I get to knock one thing off my bucket list this year- I get to go to market! The next thing on my bucket list? A trip to Prince Edward Island. Maybe one day I will get there. I can’t wait to get my hands on your new book!!
Great post. My bucket list includes Italy, Greece, and Australia. And maybe a return to France, with an eye on fabrics.
Among the items on my bucket list is seeing Michael Crawford perform. Would love to win that bucket of goodies, thanks for the chance.
On my bucket list is a cross-country camping trip with no time or money constraints. Hey – a girl can dream, eh?
I have a few things on my bucket list, but just like to be spontatneous sometimes. I would love to go on a New England cruise and build my own house someday. Thanks for the great giveaway.
My bucket list includes writing something publishable (did I say that out loud?) and hopefully, meet my children’s birthparents someday.
Tops on my bucket list is a trip to Greece. And maybe to finish all the projects I’ve started! Thanks for all your inspiration.
Hi,
On my bucket list is a trip to the Holy Lands with my daughters, (4). Love your work .
Thanks.
I can relate to your post because it is very hard to “let our children go off on their own” , but as parents that is our job. Nuture them, love them and then let them spread their wings. On my bucket list is hopefully a trip to Houston for “quilt market” and also a trip to Oregon for Sisters Quilt Show. Would love to win your bucket, thanks for the chance.
I have two main things on my bucket list: visit the east in the fall to see the splendor of the fall colors and to take an Alaskan cruise. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway!
I really enjoyed your post. You are a lovely designer. Thank you for the opportunity to be selected for the generous bucket of gifts!
on my bucket list are
a house with a garden and a sewing room
run a patchwork shop (but I think that will never happen)
return to Japan, NYC
visit all my online friends all over the world
seeing you in some days in France and buy your new book, this will happen for sure, ;o)))
On my bucket list is a long retirement with my husband so we can enjoy some downtime together to travel back to Italy and really savour the beauty & culture of the country.
I have never really thought about my bucket list. Sure, there are things that I would like to do, but I have never consciously put them on a list. So…here’s the very first draft of my bucket list.
1. Move out of the Midwest, preferably to San Jose, CA.
2. Travel (I know this should be more specific, but there are so many places I want to see.)
3. Become a really great programmer and project maanger.
4. Go back to Hawaii, Seattle, and NYC.
5. Design a quilt.
My biggest wish is to tour the U.S. in an r.v. including Alaska and the Canadian Rockies!
my bucket list starts with completing a quilt for our local guild’s annual show. And winning state fair give-away!
Well. I just love your watering can! I have a big collection of watering cans, but none so sweet as your! My number one goal for my bucket list is to finish all my started projects! So hard to do when I see new things I just can’t resist! Keeping my fingers crossed I win your wonderful prize!
the only thing really on my bucket list is to see Europe. I have always wanted to visit there!
Going to Egypt is still on my bucket list, maybe someday, until then I’ll be quilting in Illinois.
One thing on my bucket list is going Geode hunting and finding a beautiful geode with an amethyst crystals inside..ahhh, I would love it!!! And I love you too, your are so funny (humorous) not funny weird!! I hope you pick my number…..
My bucket is mainly travel related. Seattle, West coast, Alaska, New York City. Started quilting about 3 years ago and just want to continuously improve my skill.
I have a long list, one thing I want to do one day is go to Prince Edward Island. I also want to learn to surf and go to Paris, I could go on and on. Right now though my bucket list primarily consists of getting my kids through high school and college.
Your bag presentation is just the best! My list contains a trip to Padukah.
Oh my goodness —there are over seven hundred commments already!! My bucket list would be to get all my sewing and quilting in one room — and neatly!! As you know, I love everything you do! What a treat it would be to win!
A wonderful post! Thank you for the chance at winning.
On my bucket list is to go the Houston International Quilt Festival!! Someday soon I hope!
Love the cows! So much fun! The main thing on my bucket list right now is to finish my “Ladies of the Sea” album quilt. What was I thinking!?!
My email is silkovr1@cox.net — just in case I’m a winner!
Thanks for the lovely giveaway. My bucket list includes make an hand applique quilt, learn to fit garmet patterns and build a house/cabin in the woods!
There are soooo many things on the list in my bucket…where to start! Probably the most do-able since I am still employed full time, is to get to as many of the National Parks as possible in close proximity to Iowa, on our vacations and then work our way outward. I sure would like to have your bucket of treats in the mean-time for a ‘stay-cation’!
Oh, my! I would love to win the contents of your lovely bucket!
KZK
Thanks for the bag pattern. I have alot of things on my bucket list but the thing that I want, is to retire early so that I can spend more time with family, friends, quilting and gardening.
I love your purse pattern, I’m a fan of bags so I’ll have to try this one. And what a great give-away! Thanks for the chance to win.
I think I add to my bucket list every day
I would love to visit all 50 states – I’m probably more than halfway there! Thank you for a wonderful opportunity!
I have such a long bucket list and time is just getting away from me. Most of all I would like to travel so on my bucket list is to take a trip across the country.
Love your ideas! My bucket list has the wish for time to do all of these fabulous projects!
just a few things on my bucket list:
1. visit Alaska
2. write a book
3. own my own business and work from home
Thanks for the chance to win such a wonderful prize!
My bucket list is more shops and more fabric and more free time to sew and create things I have wanted to do, along with more reading and travel.
What a lovely project idea that bag is! I’d like to make it for myself one of these days.
Hmm, I have a terribly long bucket list, I’ll just put down a few. Travel back to Alaska and visit more places. Visit England, Peru, Italy, and perhaps meet some relatives in Spain. See all 50 states in the USA. Become more proficient @ watercolor painting. Start my own home business soon(it’s been in the works for awhile and I’m quite ready for it to take off!) Purchase a spinning wheel. Finish my bed quilt yet this cold season! I’m currently in the applique and hand quilting stage.
What a fun giveaway. I love your project too. =-)
a trip to Australia
My bucket list would be to get to the bottom of this list so I can leave a comment – my goodness that’s a lot of people and a lots of dreams. I would like to grow old with my husband and see my kids happy and safe. October 1st is my birthday, so it would be a great day to win – thanks for the chance!
My bucket list is so long I wouldn’t even know where to begin. For now let’s go with a trip to Santa Fe to relax for a week with my family.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Terrific bag, both ways. On my bucket list. Spending a year living somewhere else in the world. Haven’t decided exactly where, but Sweden is high on my list. Also on my bucket list is learning to make pie.
I love the look of the new book. I can’t wait to see it. The bucket list wish for me is to go to Hawaii. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Mary
I would love to visit Australia & Italy!
My bucket list….gosh whats not on it
!!! Right now it is just getting to take my kids somewhere next summer !!!! and in the meantime its using as much fabric as I can in as much time as I can squeeze out of the day !!! And I LOVE your bucket by the way 
Love the way you combine fabrics and colors in your quilts.
Oh I agree, I have not seen Montana and I would love to visit there… On my bucket list for sure!
Oh I agree, I have not seen Montana and I would love to visit there… On my bucket list for sure!
I think we all probably have HUGE buckets for our list, but in the top of my bucket is to build a custom quilt studio and spend my days there living the quilt life!
I have a lot of travelling on my bucket list, including Norway, Sweden, Alaska and the Canadian Maritimes. All northern areas because I am living in the South and have had enough of the heat!
Your blog is beautiful!
On my bucket list is retiring so that I can devote everyday to quilting, sewing, embroidering and more sewing! My 8 year old grand daughter is finally interested in sewing so I started her with a very simple reversible tote bag. She picked fabric from my stash (lucky for me I know her likes and have been stashing) and she was very proud of what she accomplished. I know there will be many more projects with her. She likes the fact that no one else has what she made. I would love to win. Love your fabrics!
My sewing bucket list would include a sewing room of my very own.
My life bucket list would include a trip to see Alaska.
Thank you for asking!
Wonderful pattern, thank you for sharing! My bucket list: Go to Hawaii on our 25th wedding anniversary! – Well, cross that off – we went to Hawaii!!! – on our 35th! Better late than never! Go to Paris! MAYBE, but, probably NOT! Visit the Holy Land. Not until the world settles down. Finish all my UFOs! Like that will EVER happen! Get my house organinzed – Flylady says: “You can’t organize clutter”, so I am working on getting rid of the clutter – this is going to take a very long time. I better quit there! Thanks for the chance. HUGS… and stitches
Oh I love your quilts!
On my bucket list is a trip to Ireland.
I would love to dance in the fields of my Ancestors.
My bucket list is still rather small but two things on it are trips – one to Ireland and the other to Australia. This is my first time visiting your blog, but it won’t be the last. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!
What a neat bag! Loved watching your video. Would love to win your bucket of goodies. My bucket overflows with blessings but someday I would love to return to the country of Japan where I spent 2 amazing years being a part of a wonderful ministry in Kyoto.
A trip to France is on my bucket list as well as finishing all the quilting projects I have waiting for me in my sewing room.
I would love to go to Alaska and travel in an RV.
One thing on my list is to go to New Zealand. Have always wanted to go! Someday maybe!
There are so many places I would love to explore, but right now what I would really love to do is spend a week in the Adirondacks during the Autumn, enjoying that part of the country and quilting to my heart’s content.
I want to tour areas of England related to Jane Austen and her novels. I’d also love to visit quilt shops in Oregon and Washington state.
Your new book looks wonderful! But I cannot wait for the book with your pattern Scrappy Fireworks! Love it!!! Thank you for the pattern and the chance to win the bucket.
Love your fabrics!!! Hum….bucket list, there are several things but first comes to mind, a trip to Hawaii with my husband, just us! That would be great! Thanks so much for the bag pattern, love it!!!
No real bucket list. Perhaps I should start one. It would be fun to win.
Shawn In Michigan
My Bucket List: to leave behind at least one quilt that becomes a family heirloom and to hike in the Grand Canyon before I’m to old to do it! I enjoyed visiting your site, have a wonderful time in France!
My bucket list? Wow, guess I’ll start with the biggie — to visit Hawaii and each of the other states. We went to Alaska last year, and have several under my belt but quite a few left. Thanks for interesting posts; your bag is so delightful, as is all your stuff!
My bucket list, let me think … definitely do a cross country trip at a leisurely pace. It would include a stop at every National forest. I have traveled extensively and am awe struck by the beauty of the United States. Thank you very much for a very generous giveaway.
Someday I hope to attend an international quilt show in France, The Netherlands, Great Britain, Tokyo, Australia—or ALL of them!
Love your use of pattern and color!
Loved the video of the bag!! It literally had me laughing out loud and my 10 year old daughter asked me to see the video (so she could see what was so funny). Her only remark was “I don’t get it, what’s so funny?” I told her when she is married one day she will understand the humor. I have many things on my bucket list. A couple are to visit Isreal, and since I am from south Louisiana and have family traced back to France, I would like one day to visit France. I also have a book of reproduction quilts dating back to the early 1800′s. There is one I have had bookmarked for a couple of years now called the “Postage Stamp”. It is made of 1inch suares of scraps, and I would love to make one out of all the scraps from projects and clothes I have made for my children so that I could pass it down to my one daughter.
Those are just three things on my bucket list, I think the quilt is top of the list.
I would love to take a barge trip through Europe! I didn’t care for batiks until I saw your quilts.
My bucket list most definitely includes a trip to France. To poke around flea markets and find treasure troves of vintage linens is the stuff of dreams.
Oh! I’m behind on my Moda Blog Hop!
What lovely quilts! Visiting France is definitely on my bucket list! Big sigh…enjoy your trip!
Also on my bucket list: having another Janome 6500 (my husband killed my first one), visiting Dunluce Castle in Northern Ireland, an inland Alaskan cruise, a Buffalo Bills game at Ralph Wilson stadium, and to buy a COMPLETE line of my favorite Moda fabric.
Oh – I L O V E your bag and especially the fabrics in the one on your video! One of the things on my “bucket list” is to actually hand quilt a “regular” size quilt. I’m getting closer to the time when I’m actually going to try it.
Love your giveaway and hope I win!!!
Would love to have your bucket full of wonderful inspiration.
Love the Small/Big Tote. Your tote was a hit at quilt market. The owner of our local quilt store mentioned it at our market preview party.
My bucket list, I’m learning to swim, I’ve taken my tests and passed and now have my CDL (commercial driver’s license) and now drive a school bus!!! Your never too old to do what you want to. I love your books!!!
Your new book looks amazing…quilts are important. I truly love your designs and color schemes. They are so beautiful and luscious. Your use of batiks is inspiring to me. Thanks for sharing your creativity with the rest of us quilters. It is appreciated!
On my bucket list is a trip to Italy. I want to stay in a villa and eat my way around the country side. Also on my bucket list is finishing some quilts so I can start new ones!
That’s a great looking bag. Thanks for the pattern!
A leisurely trip up the eastern seaboard in the fall taking in all the autumn leaves, wonderful historic sites and ending up in Boston. I’ve been trying to make it happen for the past 10 years and something always interferes!
I always wanted to learn ballet – I love the beauty and grace of the movements….it is simply exquisite and I haven’t a clue how the dancers do it!!?
On my bucket list is making a Farmer’s Wife quilt — I love your bag — what a great idea!! Love your patterns and fabric!! Thanks for the opportunity!
WOW!! I LOVE your quilts and your book looks like a great read!! =)
I sure hope you have fun on your trip!! I couldn’t make everything fit in 4 bags!!
I have always wanted to lear how to crochet!! I have friends that make such beautiful things and I am in AWW when I see them!! I am fairly young at sewing~I have sewn scince I was little in 4-H, but I am not an EXPERT. So i’d also like to be better at certain things!! I would LOVE to take some classes, but where I live there is no place close. So SOME DAY I always say!! =)
THANKS for the chance to win such a GRAND PRIZE!! =)
Have a FABULOUS MONTH!! =)
oh boy….what fun…….I know what you mean about children leaving the nest….my one and only 16 1/2year old is going to university very soon…….makes me sad every time I think of it!!!!! Bucket list???……..number one would have to be going up in a hot air balloon, finishing all my ufo’s, and travelling overseas with my wonderful hubby…….one day!!!!…….I’ll have to convince him!(he’s not fond of aeroplanes!!! LOL)
sugary hugs
Wendyb :O)
On my bucket list: visit Machu Picchu; meet my daughter-in-law’s parents in Lima, Peru; and sew all the quilts I’ve been making “kits” for over the years (15-20 maybe).
At the top of my bucket list is a trip — I want to travel across Canada on a train!
I would love to go to France for my bucket!
Various travel destinations are on my bucket list – Ireland, Prince Edward Island to name a couple.
Your quilts are beautiful! and I will have to find a copy of your book! I am also a bag girl so thank you for such a fun tote pattern.
My bucket list – I think an extended stay overseas would be on the list.
Have a grand time in France!!
Couple of things that were on my bucket list were riding a mule down into the Grand Canyon (what a trip). This yr I rode my bike across Iowa during Ragbrai (454 miles in 7 days). On my list is take a class from you or attend one of your seminars. Have a great time in France.
Ann P.
First of all, you are darling!!! Love the accent. I would like to add making a project out of your giveaway to my bucket list.
Haven’t really thought about my Bucket List, hmm. I’d like to spend a lot more time quilting on my long arm, I’d like to do some traveling, to Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, maybe Alaska, I want to go camping again (sold our old pop-up years ago), and travel around the US to national parks. One more thing, in order to do this need to able to quit working (or go part-time) and be healthy enough to travel!!
Thanks for the chance to win your bucket!!
I love the look of your new book!! it is on my Bucket list along with about a million other things including finding more time for me to actually make all those other quilts that are not yet works in progress. but at the top of my list is a trip to Africa to see all those wonderful animals in their natural environment rather than a zoo, and a trip to USA specifically to see some of your wonderful museums which are loaded with antique quilts.
#1 on my bucket list is going to Hawaii. nlundeen at catt dot com
My bucket list includes a trip to Washington State to visit my aging parents and 3 of my siblings; another trip to Duluth to visit my son, his lovely wife, and my precious grandson, finish about 6 unfinished sewing projects (3 of which are quilts) and start some more that I have had my eye on. The bag is perfect! I loved your little video! The bag is now on my bucket list!
Edyta, I just love your fabrics, patterns (just finished the farmhouse quilt…so much fun to make) and your quilts. You have inspired me this past year, after I discovered you after reading about you in a quilting magazine. I love your work! I have England, Ireland and Scotland, as well as a trip to the Holy Land, on my list. We’ll see!
My bucket list has many quilts I want to make: a double wedding ring, a wholecloth, a Burgoyne surrounded, a scrappy postage stamp to name just a few.
My bucket list is that I live long enough to enjoy my 4 wonderful Grandkids, and if that is accomplished, this this will mean that I’ve had a long life time of quilting fun!
Love your bag, too cute.Thanks for the chance to win a wonderful bucket of goodies!
All of your pictures were wonderful, the cleome was gorgeous, the moo cows too cute. But that beautiful daughter walking away down the road, takes a bit of her Mom’s heart with her for sure.
Now that is a great bucket!! Thanks for the giveaway!
Someday I hope to visit Europe. It seems impossible, so it is definitely a Bucket List item.
Your work is so lovely! If I get my hands on your new book, I am definitely going to improve my skills!
On my bucket list: visit South Uist in the Hebrides. I hope I win some of your lovely quilting goodies!

My bucket list includes Italy. Thx for the opportunity for a lovely prize
I love your fabrics. I have a quilt started using Close To My Heart, I plan on finishing that one before Christmas. I appreciate the quality of Moda Fabrics, I know that I can trust them to always be top drawer. My bucket list is long too, but at the top is to finish all my UFO’s this year. I would, like everyone else, love to win the bucket, so I can start some more UFO’s. LOL Best wishes!
On the top of my bucket list is another trip to Scotland, then organize a family reunion where we can ALL show up, another tatoo-a backplate this time, another horseback trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness before I’m too old to get on a horse. Loved the video & have the most wonderful trip to Paris EVER.
I got too many things to do. On top of the list is to sew sleeping bag, dresses, quilts for my baby girl, and make quilts to my parents! Thanks for giving away.
I’d really like to learn to play the guitar someday–such a fun and portable instrument. Best wishes to your collage-bound daughter!
Love your blog hop post! Thank you. Hm-m-m “bucket list” is new to me, however, the idea intrigues me and I am making a list in my head as I type … 1st thing off the top of my head I would love to have all the things in your bucket and 2nd the bucket too.
) 3rd is have the time to make and then give away the things I made. Have fun in France.

Bucket list.. attend a quilt show in America, sew lots of quilts, a quilting cruise, swim with dolphins, travel, bungee jump off Bloukrans Bridge, hike more, backpack Europe, ride a camel – oh gosh! the list is endless lol. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
Love, love, love this bag! I will have to make it. Thank you for sharing.
On my bucket list are trips to Australia, Switzerland and Germany and traveling the wonderful USA in the RV. I love seeing our great nation. We’ve seen a lot of it but there is soo much more and lots of great people and quilt shops!
On my bucket lists are visiting Australia and Japan, but because they are so far away and my economy is not so good I’ll guess it will be long before I go. Terrific giveaway!
Congratulations on the new book! I love everything you do! I am working on several of your patterns now and have organized strip exchanges with friends and my quilt guild so that I can soon begin working on projects from your last book. I can also relate to your feelings about sending your daughter away to school – my oldest left for her first year of college a few weeks ago. It’s very difficult to let them go!
My bucket list right now is to get my house completely organized like it was when my kids were younger and I had everything in order. That probably sounds unexciting but that is what I long for. I just had my second child leave for college and I still have two in high school and chaos rules the roost! Thank you for all of your beautiful inspiring quilts and books and designs!
What a fabulous gift!
On my bucket list is a list of quilt shows that I want to someday attend (like Sisters and Houston), and I would love to take my children to the ocean someday.
On my bucket list is a summer trip to Maine with my family including my two grandsons. It’s wonderful to view the world through their eyes. Thanks for your inspiration. I appreciate what you do.
Your post made me cry, again. I just sent my youngest off to college. Let me tell you, it doesn’t get any easier with the next child. My best to Delfina in her college experience. I, too, tell myself that independence is the goal and I am so proud of my boys, but it doesn’t stop the tears either. Great giveaway, I would LOVE that bucket!
My bucket list….. so much to do, so little time… one thing I’d like to do is travel to Sweden. One of my son-in-laws is Swedish, and I’d love to visit his home and family…
I’d also LOVE to win your wonderful prize– I’d jump for joy if my name is chosen!!! Keeping my fingers crossed– and it’s really difficult to sew with crossed fingers! LOL
On my list would be to have visited every state in the U.S. I’m looking forward to your book
I just love your colorful quilts. They’re such a happy collaboration of fabrics! On my bucket list would be a trip to the Austrian Alps. I won’t forget my camera and I’ll be looking for the adelweiss! Thank you for the purse pattern and happy stitching.
A trip to Hawaii is on my bucket list. I have a separate list for all the quilts I want to make!
I love the bucket. it is just adorable.
I love your quilt designs – so elegant and beautiful. My bucket list includes a cruise to Alaska and a road trip across the continental USA.
On my bucket list is to go to a small island with soft sand and pack my beach blanket, a good book and my flip flops!! All I want to hear and see and smell is the ocean! One day, one day!!
What a great post. I love the bag pattern. I downloaded it. It’s gorgeous. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. Hugs Ariane
My bucket list would include a trip to Europe. I’ve never been there and would love to go. It’s not going to happen anytime soon with three kids under the age of 6 at home!
A few things on bucket list include a trip to Italy, maybe move there, to win your bucket of goodies!
on my bucket list, I want more time to make quilts and take english lessons to read blogs!! thanks for this cute bag! I don’t go to Sainte Marie Aux Mines. I hope you good moments! Cocopatch from France

On my bucket list – live long enough to use all my fabric!
What a great idea – - the small/big bag ! And I just love the thought process involved in the Shop Hop trip – - I will try that on my husband soon !!
It’s funny, I recently started thinking about my bucket list – - a couple of items on it are: Scuba Diving in the Red Sea, Visiting Alaska, Writing and publishing a childrens book about birds.
Of course I love to sew and cook, so also on the list is “time”. Time to sew and share what I make with my family.
Have a wonderful day.
Karen
I have a large bucket list, but several items on the list include travel. Some of the places I wouild like to visit are Australia, Italy, Holland, and all fifty states. Thanks for the pattern for the tote bag and also for the chance to win the bucket of wonderfulness. Looking forward to seeing your new book.
I love this bag and I loved your video explaining it. We travel my motorcycle and I am limited on space. My husband still doesn’t get how much you can shove in a little bag. He likes to tell the other guys “oh, I take her on the bike to shop hops because she can’t buy much”.
On my bucket list is a trip to Australia, among other beautiful places. Your book looks fantastic, oh how fun it would be to win your bucket of goodies. Just like Christmas. Thanks so much for the chance.
Edyta, enjoy your trip, Wanted to let you know, we would be friends !… LOL , My Bucket list has never been gathered up lets say, I like to do things by holidays and I like to do alot of things. If I would make a bucket list I would drown in it !.. LOL I just started to teach myself to quilt, and realized it takes money.. I really like this “HOP” to teach myself how to blog, so thats a start…. Lol .. Thank you
One of the things on my bucket list is to see a live performance of Garrison Keillor and A Prairie Home Companion!
On my bucket list is to own a quilt shop !) Always, been a “dream”–thought I would once the kids were in high school-but, now the economy bottomed out
Guess, I will just have to use my creative juices sharing with quilters as much as I can. I just LOVE all your “CREATIVITY”–have been a HUGE FAN–Wishing only the “BEST” for you and your family…you certainly deserve it !!!! 
I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about a bucket list, but I think I would like to go to Japan and buy fabric.
on my bucket list – going to Scotland to compete in highland dance, which I will hopefully do next summer. I also want to visit Australia and Greece!
If you want to see cows you can come visit us in Eastern Wyoming. We’ve got more cows than people in our county! On my bucket list is to see the Northern Lights.
On my bucket list would be finishing all my Christmas quilts that I want to do.
I adore the bucket of goodies. On my bucket list: I’d like to visit Hawaii, Maine, England, Germany, Nova Scotia, and Switzerland. I’d like to have a large room outfitted for just quilting, with cabinets, desks or tables, and a longarm to boot. I’d love a new house, but a more achievable desire would be to replace my living room furniture. The one item on my list most likely to be fulfilled first is to make quilts for each of my family.
On my bucket list is a trip to Italy for my husband. I am hoping we will be able to go in the next 1-2 yrs. He has worked very hard. I wish your daughter well as she goes off to college. I feel the first few months are the hardest for you and then it gets a little better. Thanks for the inspiring book and your wonderful patterns and fabric.
I really don’t have a bucket list because I am someone that tries to live in the moment. I love to find” joy in the journey” of life. If I think hard about something I would love to do in the future, it would have to be to spend lots of time at the ocean. I never get to spend enough time there it seems. I think there could be lots of quilt inspiration there.
Edyta, it seems your bucket is on my bucket list! What a lovely giveaway. Thank you for being so generous. ~Kd in Montana
Thanks for chance at winning!!! The book looks really neat, and something I’d really be interested in reading. Just the cover is great inspiration – it’s just beautiful. Love Moda and all the freebie patterns they offer, too! Thanks!!!
My bucket list, hmmm a visit to the Birmingham, England quilt show. Actually Houston almost ties with Birmingham.
I would love to go on a bike tour of Europe.
I love your bag – thanks for the tutorial!
I actually have never really thought about my bucket list until now! I guess it would involve traveling – I’d love to go to East Africa where my dad grew up.
Most everything on my bucket list over the years has been accomplished….one thing left: to go deep sea fishing. I’m almost afraid to do this last thing…I wanna hang around awhile longer to work on my quilts!
Edyta, now your bucket is on my bucket list! You are so generous. Thank you for a great giveaway. Kd
Travel, a lot of travel on my bucket list. I want to go to Maine and the Florida Keys. I want to visit every quilt shop here in Michigan, my friends and I have a pretty good start on that one. And I want to finish all my projects started and start and finish all the others that are stacking up. I need to make my youngest, grown, daughter a quilt and would love to make one for each of my grands. Oh the list goes on.
Luv your designs, books and quilts…they are truly inspiring….I just sent my second son off to college-his older brother who is exactly 14mos older to the day went last year…where does it go? Miss them but have wonderful memories – and yes, it is all about preparing them for life…have a wonderful trip!
What a pretty bag!! Thank you for the pattern. I’m definitely making one. On my bucket list is to see Denmark with my kids. Thank you for the chance to win one of your many lovely prizes.
I LOVE your style! Beautiful combinations of fabric and design – the tote will make some great gifts . Thanks for the inspiration!
First off I have to tell you that your video is so funny! I was laughing so hard but quickly closed it when my husband walked in! I didn’t want him to see the secret! I won’t share my whole bucket list – it would go on forever! But a few things on it 1) A trip to the great barrier reef, 2) vacation in alaska, 3) A vacation with all my children (all out of the house now) and 4) an organized quilt room!
On my bucket list? To enjoy each day. And to see as much of mountains and natural beauty as possible! Oh, and to see fall in New England.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

My bucket list is to finish my sons scrapbook! Awesome giveaway. Thank you!

I don’t actually have a bucket list. I am pretty happy with where I am and what I’m doing now! Thanks for the giveaway.
Can’t wait to see your new book! As far as my Bucket List…I’ve pretty much done 99% of them (visited Europe (overshot that item and ended up living in Germany for 7 years), went sky diving (did that at the ripe old age of 46), I’ve done the snow skiing and scuba diving, so about the only thing left on my list is to RETIRE! My husband keeps telling me I need to retire now, before I keel over at my desk one day (I’m 59 years old)
I love buckets! but look at all those goodies inside. My bucket list is still to go to Vermont and watch the leaves turn.

I would love to publish a book! That’s just one thing from my bucket list…which I think would be pretty short if I actually had one!!!
I have several things on my bucket list. One would be to take a road trip to the west and visit the Grand Canyon. I’d also like to visit Ireland and Italy. I’d also like to go on a cruise to the Carribbean with my husband and just lounge and relax for a week. One thing close to home would be to redecorate one room in my house and make it into a crafting room for my quilting and knitting.
First on my bucket list would be to take my hubby to England, where his daddy served in WWII. Thanks for the chance to win!
Your quilts are beautiful! And so is your daughter. My youngest also went off to college this year. I miss her lots as she was always my shadow, going everywhere with me when she was little. It would be wonderful to see you on a Project Runway for Quilt Designers, how fun an idea that is. On my bucket list is a quilt retreat with my sister, SIL and friends. I quilt alone, you see, most of the time. This may actually be achievable someday! Thanks for the opportunity to win some fabulous bucket items.
I love your quilts, and can’t wait to read your book! My bucket list includes visiting Alaska.

Love your quilts and bucket list. On my bucket list is to see every one of the United States.
Fall is my favourite time of the year and the number one item on my bucket list is a cruise down the eastern coast in October for the fall colours. I would also love to rent a cabin by the ocean for the autumn months and just read and sew and take long walks for two whole months – ahhh bliss. My bucket list will take a while to accomplish so I would settle for winning yours
I would love to travel Europe, finish up the little quilt house and move all my quilting into it and have a fun trip with each of my boys to a place they choose

Cheers Gloria
My bucket list is quiet a long one but I’ll mention the 3 top ones.
* Spend a couple of months in Tuscany, Italy. Either Spring or fall would be fine.
* Make a quilt that I have designed in my mind, and started collecting fabrics for. Just haven’t got around getting started to work on it.
* And last but not least. Keep myself healthy and strong to see my kids:
- graduate from college, get married. And enjoy the blessing of spoiling grand kids some day. I’m 47 and have a 6 y o daughter and a 2 1/2 y o son.
In the meantime I hope to be the lucky one to get “your bucket”. Thanks for the giveaway.
Your family, your quilts and your fabric, are all wonderful. I share your “guilty pleasure”, Project Runway is my favorite show. My Hubby and I have watched it from season one and love it. Your idea about a similar show for quilt designers sounds great. It might happen soon…
So wonderful, my bucket list just grew with your beautiful fabrics and quilts. Like you I would love travel around our wonderful country more and see all that there is to see.
Attending Primitives of the Midwest is always at the top of the List. Thanks for sharing and I just love your shopping bag.
The following are on my bucket list: Taking a trip back to the amish country out east, seeing you and your quilts in person, and possibly taking a class from you, and finishing up all my UFO’s.
I LOVE your fabrics SOOOO much!
What a prize!
I don’t really have a bucket list… but a few things I’d like to do include the following: improve my sewing/quilting skills beyond the rag-quilt level, learn to knit (currently I only know how to crochet, which I love, but there are so many knitting patterns I’m missing out on!), and fix my garden so that the weeds don’t outnumber the flowers. ;o)
Wow! What an awesome bucket that would be to win.
On my bucket list is to design my own quilt. I’ve been fortunate to be able to travel to Alaska and Europe and now finding time to pursue quilting and crafting is really what I want to do. Reading your book is on my list too!
love your book and quilts,susi
I would love to go to the British Isles! Oh, and finish every quilt that has ever caught my eye…
Congratulations on the new book! I can’t wait to check it out all of the stories and eye candy.

Your tote is darling!! My bucket list…Europe. Thanks for the giveaway!
I never thought about making a bucket list. Let’s see….Finish all the quilts I have fabric for? lol
At the top of my Bucket List is Ireland. Also on it is Alaska. I will probably get to Alaska first. We lived in England for three years and tried three times to get to Ireland. Something happened to cancel each trip. I think Alaska has the best chance of success!
BadurekL@gmail.com
My bucket runneth over! On the top – Visit all our National Parks. On the practical side – Just to visit with each of my children, grandchildren and Great grandchildren once a year. Your tote bag/purse is awesome.
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway, but so many people… XO
My bucket list includes traveling to Scandinavia next summer. I’m excited to get your new book and I love your designs and use of batiks in your quilts. All the quilts I make for myself are from batiks. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
#1 on my bucket list was to move back home when I retired. I am now playing and enjoying in that bucket!
Being 83, my bucket list is noticeably shorter than it used to be but there are still wishes in it. I want to continue to go on for some time as I am right now, feeling good, working with my quilts and doing my blogging. Had my first great grandson last month added to my dear family. Life is good! And I love everything you do, Edyta!
To put the binding on my Trip Around the World–all those points!!!
Finish my UFO’s and Start my BOM’s!!! I’ll be sewing for the rest of my life!! LOL.
Loving the Blog Hop!! Love th Bucket of Treats!

Thank you so much for giving us inspiration!!
I would love to travel from North Carolina to Arizona and visit the Grand Canyon…
I love your Indian Summer fabric collection.

jpshirley@ymail.com
I would love to go back to college and take classes that I would enjoy. Art, photography, printmaking and many others. Someday, I will.
Thanks for a chance to win.
I love your batiks so much! But my absolute favorite was the snowflake batiks! I have made 3 quilts from it and still have fabric for at least one more before using the scraps for small projects! As for a bucket list? Maybe to see New England in the fall!
I enjoyed your new quilt pattern that was published in quilt mania. Another inspiration.
on my bucket list? visiting a part of the world that intimidates me. i’ve been to europe a number of times, but that’s got familiar food, and languages that i can at least fake… asia, africa… now those intimidate me. but i’d love to conquer that fear!
My bucket list is rather short: if only I had enough time for my garden and needlework!
Thank you for the drawing, please enter me!
Thank you for the bag pattern – it is so ingenious!
What to choose from my bucket list? How about using all my stash so I can buy more without feeling guilty!
I would love to win!
One of the major things on my bucket list is to visit every state in the Union. I only have 7 more to go and will be visiting 2 more in a couple of weeks. After that I will have Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Woo Hoo! Hope to win your basket of goodies. Love your applique. It’s my passion too!
I would love to visit France…definitely on my bucket list!
I would love to visit Hawaii and Australia.
Top 3 on my bucket list: Go to Hawaii, see pearl harbor and swim with dolphins, RV down East coast of US and Go to Australia. Thanks for doing such a great giveaway!
Oh that’s a hard one!Travel- more of Europe, but also more of the U.K (where I live) – I have seen a lot, but there is so much more to see (it is amazingly diverse for such a small island). Really, properly learn another language (two would be even better, but that really is pushing it) and visit Japan. I’d also like to see more of the US, but I think that will have to wait until the children are all grown up sadly.
Laugh more, craft more and stress less. That’s wanted now as well as on a bucket list!
Hello Edyta, congrats on your new book. I love the tote bag(you are so clever!) Thank you for the chance to win your bucket full of goodies. I am a new quilter and I am so grateful for all the helpful tips everyone has to share in the big wonderful world of quilting. A few things on my bucket list are, to go to a quilt retreat, to take my grandchildren to Disneyland and to get my driving licence. I`m almost 50(oct.3) and don`t have my licence yet; I keep telling eveyone I will get my licence when I grow up…lol! :0)
I have a very full bucket! Riding bikes with my husband on the converted railroad bed bike paths throughout the U.S. and having more time to quilt.
My son is in his 2nd year at college and we still miss him soooo much, but we’re happy that he is loving his new experiences.
PS: Love your interview with Pat Sloan!
My bucket list mostly deals with seeing my daughter grow up, I have an auto-immune disease which is very unpredictable.
But when I’m day dreaming I’d love to be able to go an live in various cities, villages and middle of nowhere places for 2-4 months stretches and do nothing but create as I go.
Have made several of your pattterns and absolutely love them!!!
LOVE the bag pattern and idea behind it! Very clever! I have many of your books, I also love that Gathered Tote from the Am patchwork magazine,I use it a lot!
My bucket list is all about travel…. to anywhere. I would love to explore other countries and immerse myself in their culture: learn their crafts, eat their food…
love your designs and your fabric. My bucket list includes more European travel.
Love the inspiration. My bucket list – take my mom to Alaska
love your quilts and reading your blog! my bucket list?…a trip with my husband to Europe….Italy would be nice or maybe Paris!
I loved your little video! Now, my bucket list would include:
Learn to play guitar
Open a fiber artist’s cooperative
Write a novel
Travel, travel, travel! (Prince Edward Island is one place I’d love to visit)
Enjoyed reading your blog! I picked my top 2 from my bucket list:
1: Own a lake house
2: Design my own fabric line
Hmmm – bucket list … go to Italy! Make a schoolhouse quilt, and another log cabin. Yes, one is not enough!! Thanks for the give-away chance. doni @ Oregon coast
Edyta, your quilting projects are just breathtaking! I am just starting to appreciate quilting and I’ve just finished my first bigger patchwork project – reading your blog makes me feel small, patchwork-wise
And on my bucket list you can find: visiting Norway, going on a 2 month road trip across the US with my beloved man and having a little sewing room one day
Cheers from Poland!
I love the new book! It really makes me want to sew and to tackle new challenges. I have learned so much about blending traditional fabrics with batiks by studying your quilts. Thank You! My big dream is to breed golden retrievers as service dogs for injured soldiers. A smaller dream is to go up in a hot air balloon, and to continue to enjoy sewing and never stop learning (about EVERYTHING).
I’ve been trying to compose a bucket list. So far, I think what I would most like is enough down time to even make a bucket list. Long days of quilting, at home and at various ‘quilt events’ with friends and family. Do I have to have a bucket list? I’d rather have a bucket full of quilting goodies…hint, hint.
At the top of my bucket list is a move back to my home state – Montana. Thanks for all the great designs and inspiration.
Something on my bucket list: Hiking the Appalachian Trail! When I was younger (and more naive) I decided I wanted to hike the WHOLE thing. Now in my wiser years, I realize it’d be more reasonable to hike parts of it instead.
Congratulations on your new book. I have enjoyed your previous ones. Thank you for the free pattern, I look forward to making this lovely tote. Would love to travel more to states out west. I can still remember the day my daughter left for college, very emotional even though I knew these years would be some of her happiest.
Love Love Love Your Quilts!!! Thanks for opening my eyes to the use of all fabric in quilts!!! Yours truly come together beautifully and I am totally inspired! Thank you for sharing!!! My bucket list….to live life to the fullest and thank the Lord for each day!!!!
On my bucket list: start and complete an appliqued quilt when I retire (or change my career) from teaching.

I would love to attend one of your lectures or classes.
I look forward to reading your blog every morning. Thank you for sharing.
Boy, my bucket list is long at times. I recently completed one bucket list – seeing my son graduate from high school (which was a close one since I was in the hospital for several weeks just before his graduation). I would love to travel to each of the states in our awesome United States. I have a few checked off but need to visit many more.
What a great giveaway – your new fabrics look simply yummy! Enjoyed meeting you and your husband today – what a great class! Over 1,100 entries for your giveaway – huge response!!!
WOW is all I can say!! You are SOOOO creative! Sure wish I lived closer to you so I could take some classes!! I try to work on something every day, even if only a few minutes! You can really get a lot accomplished because the minutes really add up!
On my bucket list is an beach vacation with my husband.
Love all three of your books. I am currently working with your 2″ Triangle papers. How easy they are! Making them for a Civil War swap sometime in Nov. On my bucket list is to finish a queen size white wholecloth handquilted for my daughter and son in law. Wow what a long term project that is. I am approx. 2/3 completed. Keep up your great designing..
Your new book looks very interesting. Thanks for inspiring pictures.
The top think on my bucket list is travel! In 2007 I was so fortunate to take a trip to Europe and visited Germany, France and Holland. Since the trip was in the spring I was able to see the tulips in bloom! What a remarkable trip that was!
So, next I would like to see Ireland, Scotland and England.
You ask what is on my bucket list? I would love to have a room to myself overflowing with fabric and more fabric (and maybe a bathroom in it along with a butler and a huge picture window) so I would never have to leave my fantasy world!
Not sure if I left a comment earlier. My ancient computer is giving me some problems. I love your blog. I also would love to have a smiley ice cream right now. That looked yummy.
My bucket list includes a trip to Paris, New Zealand, and Alaska cruise and train ride, to have a shop of my own and/or a large studio space. And to design fabric for a living.
Not to large of a bucket list. I think it’s a do-able list. What do you think?
Aloha,
Lei
Hi Edyta. This is a new experience for me. Let’s see if it works. It was great to see you and Michal Mon at the workshop. This rainy afternoon I have been working on my blocks. They are all in “fours” now, ready to be pressed and squared. Tomorrow many Brighton Casual Quilters are working on a project to provide 25 of a needed 150 quilts for Homelss Veterans in Detroit, who will be staying in a recently built /refurbished strcuture this fall & winter. So reading your “newly published book” will have to be my bucket treasure waiting for the weekend. Thank you again for a wonderful workshop.
My bucket list includes visiting all of the major quilt shows at least once. I am so inspired and in awe by them.
Wow, what a bucket full of goodies!!
My bucket list?? mmmm
Well, I have actually done a lot of my bucket list already. One thing I really want is to have grandchildren!! But I guess that one is a little out of my control LOL!!
I love the bag that you made. I’m enjoying following the shop hop.
My bucket list includes using up the material I have, making a whimsical quilt and doing as much travelling as I can.
Looking forward to seeing your book. All your designs are so fantastic! PattiO
one of the things on my bucket list is to ride the blue ridge parkway on our motorcycle in the fall to see the colors and some covered bridges
What beautiful designs. My yearly list always begins with “finish quilt projects.”
On my bucket list is a trip to Montana and Idaho, as well as an Alaskan cruise. Another item on the list is to have a copy of your new book! wink wink…
My bucket list contains finish a quilt for each of my grand-kids (26 – I am down to 10 to do) and then make enough for my great grandchildren – before I leave this wonderful life. My problem is that I love applique and it does take longer than piecing.
I also love your quilts. Do you have the pattern for the one under the sign at your market stand?
Whoa, your incredible bucket is on my bucket list. And so is a house on the wild Oregon coast.
My bucket list includes travel. There are still some wonderful places in the U.S. that I would love to visit. And then a cruise to the Panama Canal to see that wonder. Of course I’d be taking your newest book along to read and then select what my net project will be.
To make at least one quilt to cover our bed, but not just any quilt it has to be one that I can live with. Slowly getting there. To take a train ride with my husband long enough to get some serious hand piecing done.
Thank you for the chance to win
I just LOVE your designs–on my bucket list would be to meet some of the wonderful designers of Moda!!!! I wish you and your family the BEST life has to offer….take care
