Spring Break!

Yay! It is spring break time here in Idaho. And we are taking advantage and going someplace warm! Hallelujah! Since I will be gone and missing all of you, I thought we would have a little giveaway. Can't go wrong with a giveaway. It will end on Sunday, March 21. To enter, leave a comment about what you are going to do or would like to do for your spring break. Second chance, leave another comment saying you are a follower. Easy, right?


Okay, so what am I going to give away? A fat quarter bundle of 10 prints from the Katie Jump Rope line from Denyse Schmidt. Such a fun line! Here are a few ideas for you to make with the fabric when you win:

  1. Going away to some place warm. Oh my, that sounds so wonderful. I don't have a spring break here, but if I did, I definitely would go looking for some sun!

  4. my kids aren't in school yet, so no spring break here, but I think it's warm enough for daily trips to the beach now, so I think we'll be covered in sand for the next several months....

  5. We're going to South Korea for our "spring break" but it's about the same weather as here in Boston. Really though, I'd love to go somewhere tropical, like Hawaii or the Caribbean.

  6. For SPRING BREAK-going to a wedding! What I really want to do is paint our master bedroom (this will make the 3rd coat of paint in two years). I gave my husband beautiful 700 thread count sheets that match his gorgeous eyes, and I want the room to be more about us.

  7. OKAY-now I am a public follower of your blog. I have you on my sidebar as a link "More blogs I read" but now it is official.

    I love LOVE this fabric line. I love your projects and inspiration.

  8. For my spring break I would like to sew and quilt to my little heart's content. Unfortunately, I'm writing a thesis instead (yuck).

  10. easter in alabama!! 8 hour drive with 3 kids under the age of 5???? no prob. not much of a "break" though!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I don't really get Spring break but I will try to do something special each day as if I do! If I did I would visit family in San Diego.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'd love to head down to san diego for spring break! But we will probably stick around washington and go up north to the beach house. But its going to be cold!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Spring break? Well, We'll be in Monterey California listening to my daughter sing in a jazz choir. I can't wait! Love the fabric and your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yup, I'm a follower. :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'd love to vacation somewhere warm. Instead, I'll be working on lots of house projects!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Spring break doesn't happen to stay at home mommies who have pre-school age kids. But I'm going to clean the house, go through all the closets and get a couple of bags of old baby clothes ready for Goodwill in the next couple of weeks. :) (I love cleaning out closets, it's a strange obsession of mine).

    ReplyDelete
  17. we're just finishing up our spring break & we entertained hand, foot & mouth disease all week! woo hoo!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Our spring break, or "March break" as we call it here up in Canada, is about to start and the weather is getting gorgeous just in time. Unfortunately I'll be working as usual, but I'm sure I'll find time to enjoy the lovely weather after work.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  19. And I'm already a blog follower.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I would love to be spending the week with my daughter doing fun, useless craft projects. But she'll be home with her grandma and I'll be working.

    ReplyDelete
  21. We're going up to my mom's place for spring break. Always nice to be up there and get spoiled for a week :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. We are not doing anything but what I would love to do for Spring Break is to go on a cruise. Getting pampered with no kids around sounds so good to me right now!!! Plus it's snowing here right now!

    ReplyDelete
  23. My husband's deployed and coming home on Sat., so we're looking forward to a simple spring break at home,...and probably starting on all those spring to-do list projects in the backyard. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Spring break! Ooo sounds good! I would love to be at the beach all warm, alas I'm at work...yuck

  25. I'm going to play at the park with my children. We are in desperate need of vitamin D and some outside play time.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Spring break?! Will it ever come to Maryland? I still have snow in my yard, waaah. I am going to go outside in short sleeves, get my capris out of the closet, close my eyes, and turn my face up towards the sun.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Are you coming to visit us? It's kind of warm here. LOL

    For spring break I would love to go to Hawaii to visit my family, but the budget won't allow it :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't have school-aged children, nor am I in school, so I don't celebrate "spring break" anymore. We are planning a trip to Belgium next month, though. So exciting!

    ReplyDelete
  29. this is so exciting. i love the KJR fabrics...they are perfect for a boy or a girl...and they look amazing no matter how you put them together. enjoy your getaway

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh how I wish I could have a spring break! Our house goes on the market soon - so sewing is taking a back seat to cleaning lately.

    Have fun on your break.

    ReplyDelete
  31. We're thinking of heading to the mountains for a family retreat. Should be fun!

    ReplyDelete
  32. No spring break here, but it's Southern California so it's been spring all winter :) Maybe we will go to Disneyland next month after we move.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Enjoy your spring break! Ours isn't for a couple of weeks so I haven't thought to much about it yet :) Do some crafts, read books...all the stuff I'd love to do with the kids everyday but don't have enough time.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  34. No kiddies yet, so no spring break excitement in our house, but I am looking forward to a trip to Napa Valley we have coming up.

    Blessings,
    KT

  40. Oooh, what a great giveaway! My kid's not in school yet, but my husband is a teacher, so for this spring break I'm going to enjoy having him home!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Spring break? Since the sun and I don't agree as to that nice tan I would like to have, I think I would spend it in my sewing room without a phone or any other sort of interruption!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I would go and see my sons....

    Have a fun time!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Let's see, spring break at the university where I work was last week, spring break at the university where I'm finishing up my master's degree is this week, and my daugher's spring break is a few weeks away. I'd love to be going to a nice beach somewhere and drink frozen beverages while slathered in spf 50.
    Pretty fabrics and pretty quilts.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Love it!

    I hope, hope, hope that we will be headed to the beach in the panhandle of FL.....fingers crossed for some toes in the sand!

  54. I am going to Las Vegas to meet up with my younger sister. We do this about once a year and my parents drive up from Arizona. We have a really wonderful time. I can't wait.

    ReplyDelete
  55. No spring break here in Australia. The Autumn nip is in the air. End of 1st term school holidays start at Easter. My 6yr old grandaughter and I will be cutting into her stash and she will make her 1st proper quilt. Katie Jump Rope would add to her stash. (mine really!) Also an 8yr old grandaughter from out of town will be staying with me for the holidays. Maybe 2 quilts will get done.

  57. Sadly I am not going any where for spring break, work as usual. The kids will hang out at home and hopefully the weather will be nice so we can at least go outside on the weekends!

    Going to Assateague Island in June though when school lets out!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Spring Break? We have no plans. I know, we suck! But it's hard to make plans when we're in the situation we're in with our parents...
    Anyway, please enter me for some Katie Jump Rope!

  65. Great ideas for using that fabric! Would love to win it! Would love to go to Florida for a Spring break - no time off work - so I get to wait until June!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I follow you on Google Reader :)

    My plans for spring break are to finish the quilt top I'm working on for my youngest daughter and to keep the older two busy with lots of crafty goodness so they won't bounce off the walls or get bored :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. Today is our last day of spring break. I've had my little sisters over at my house for the past week, and we've been having a blast. The weather was even warm enough for picnics some of the time!

  68. I just wish I had a spring break! If I did, I'd road trip anywhere - I've been itching to go on a long, long drive.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'm also a follwer via Google Reader.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Ooh - I've been thinking about that a lot lately. I'd either try to go to NYC - we could drive - so it would be cheap(er) - or go all out and go somewhere like Spain.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I also have your blog in my RSS Reader.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Sadly, I will be working. But I do plan to take a day off to go see the new elephant home at the San Diego Zoo with my sons.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Enjoy, enjoy! Bring some warmth back to the states that start with the letter "I". I have three kids doing three different things for school with no concurrent spring break...so I won't be doing anything! LOL

    Thanks for the chance to win such cool fabric!

  83. Ooo. For Spring Break I would love to sit someplace warm. And sew uninterrupted for hours. :)

    ReplyDelete
  84. Well first, I'd like to HAVE a Spring Break. My son's a toddler and my husband and I have jobs that aren't tied to the school year, so no break for us. We're starting to yearn for a visit to the beaches of Lake Michigan (my husband has family in SW MI).

    ReplyDelete
  85. Thanks for linking to my little quilt!

    I'm going to DC tomorrow for work . .not really March break but my kidlets aren't school age yet so we don't really have a spring break in this house!

    ReplyDelete
  86. I don't get a spring break. One day is like the other on the farm. In face, I lose track of what day it is. I am heralding in spring by working for a Craft show that is always a kick off for spring planting for me.
