Time for a giveaway ! Scrappy Baskets Quilt Pattern

Time for a giveaway! Scrappy Baskets Quilt Pattern

Scrappy baskets Quilt was such a fun quilt to make, using my scrap bin to make the basket blocks. I love getting into the rhythm of sewing when making a pieced quilt, with my favorite music playing, or a great audiobook to listen to while stitching. I find each quilt has a story of where and what I was doing at that point in time, it's like keeping a diary of my daily life in my quilts. While making Scrappy Baskets Quilt I was trying out a new technique for making half-square triangles, learning to be more random with my fabric choices and enjoying the process.

To win the Scrappy Baskets Quilt Pattern leave a comment telling everyone what you like to do or listen to while piecing your quilts?

Happy Stitching

I usually listen to sewing/quilting podcasts while I sew. When I’m all caught up, I’ll listen to my favorite music stations on Pandora.

I ’m so impressed that this beautiful quilt is a scrap quilt. I listen to the classics when quilting. Any other steps in quilting are done in silence for concentration. I also just enjoy the quiet.

It depends on what I’m doing as to what I listen to. If I really have to concentrate, I listen to Christopher Parkening, classical guitar, or ocean sounds. If I need a bit of pepping up and am doing something that doesn’t require a lot of concentration, I listen to ZZ Top or David Lee Roth. Then there are times that I don’t listen to anything but the hum of my machine. Ahhh…

I listen to music while machine piecing mostly spiritual. I have lots of CD’s with Elvis Presley and the Gaithers quartets and gatherings. I find it very relaxing and moving – something to concentrate on other than my aches and pains. Always love seeing your quilts. Thanks. Kay H

I love these scrappy baskets! If I am piecing at the machine or stitching at my antique floor frame, I’m listening to oldies music. if I’m hand piecing or stitching in the hoop, I’m usually watching TV. thanks for this opportunity!

I love so many of your quilts, including this one. I have just enjoyed your making circles video and looking forward to more of the same.
I enjoy listening to audio books with my ipod hooked up to speakers while I quilt or iron – was doing this one day when the book I was listening to came to a bit of an unexpected sensual moment, just as my young teenage son was walking past. I have never reached for the pause button more quickly.
Thank you for creating and inspiring, long may it continue. :-)

I love the scrappy basket quilt. Baskets are one of my favorite to make. I watch TV but get distracted thinking about all the projects awaiting my attention. I would love to have your Scrappy Basket to add to my to do list.

The basket pattern is one of my favourites. Done is scraps makes it that much better.

I don’t listen to anything when I’m doing something that requires concentration. I find even music to be too distracting.

Thanks for the opportunity to win a beautiful pattern.

It varies. Some days I open the window and listen to the birds chirp, or enjoy the silence. Other days I like to quilt with familiar tv shows on in the background; something I can pay scant attention to, but can follow along with because I’ve seen the episodes before.

The basket quilt is lovely.
I listen to Jane Austen videos while sewing. I have seen them many times so I don’t have to pay much attention. Hearing the witty dialogue is almost as good as sewing with a friend.

Your quilts are lovely and I would love to have your way of putting fabrics together. While sewing I usually “watch” recorded tv. Sometimes, I just enjoy silence though.

When I`m making a quilt while cutting out things need to be quite as don`t want to make a mistake or cut myself. Once that`s done I sometimes watch TV or a video of my patchwork ones. I do like talking books as well. Mainly sew when family out.
I love basket quilts and one day with my scraps I will make one as your`s is lovely. A great way to use the scraps up before adding more to the pile :)
Thank you for this chance in your give away.
Happy Stitching

I listen to my IPod, which has many types of music on it. I like the variety of it. Or, I might have the TV on and listen to news, crime stories, home remolding or maybe rewatch a Hallmark movie. I sometimes get sidetracked with whats on TV, but that’s OK. I just spend more time in my sewing room then.

Happy Quilting from Kansas USA. Basket quilts are one of most favorite quilt patterns. I can just imagine quilters of the past getting excited to design a quilt with lovely baskets of all kinds. When I am working on my quilt projects whether hand applique or machine piecing, I love to listen to National Public Radio. Keep up the great work.

I find I can’t do too much while I’m piecing …. too much concentration going on!! Hahaha! Listening to an audio book is totally out of the question. What I usually listen to is: 1) country music; 2) sports on TV, in particular St. Louis Cardinals baseball or any of the major tennis tournaments; or 3) just total, lovely piece (intentional!) & quiet, alone with my thoughts and the wonderful process of piecing a wonderful project!

Your quilt is wonderful, I really like the scrappy look of it. I either listen to T.V., or now that I finally entered the 21st century, I have started to listen to my “new this year” MP3 player that I have been downloading music to. Lol. I also occasionally listen to Sirius Radio as well. Thanks for the draw.
