A trip to Texas, the zoo, the pool, and lots of backyard time catching fireflies with my little ones. Love this fabric!
Spending lots of time on the roof garden soaking up the warmth of summer! I love these fabrics!!
Love your blog! Hope to squeeze in some serious quilting time this summer!! And of course, surfin' the net for some great inspiration! Thanks!

Nothing planned really, just hoping for lovely Summer weather and some quality time spent in my little city garden and to make it perfect... a lot of stitching!
Hello there, I am a big admirer of your work...simply put.....this summer I'm working steadily. I do interactive theatrical storytelling events using beautiful handmade puppets, props, and costumes. I have about 60 bookings this summer! Also working on making WrapADoodle swaddle blankets and other gifts for babies. Will take one week off at the Jersey shore. :) Hope you have a nice summer
Have a new deck, bought a deck recliner three years ago. Hope to take recliner out of box, sit on it and hand stitch til it hurts.

I love these fabrics and all your others, too! :)
A vacation with my husband!
We are heading onto winter - so lots of baking and quilting - good winter activities! Love your sweet designs.
I know this is cliche for a quilting blog, but I discovered quilting at the end of last summer. I am a teacher. Choral music. High school kids. Not much time to learn. So...this summer I plan to quilt like it's my job....oh....I also want to swim, do a pilates class twice a week, take walks with my husband, enjoy time with my friends and enjoy my son's wedding!!!! :) (I love summer almost as much as I love your fabrics!)
Difficult for me to plan things
Hope I will see my grand children and take them have a swim in the mediterranean sea, where I live
... and maybe make a quilt with your fabrics...
Lovely giveaway!
I plan on enjying the outdoors & watcing my little one grow :)
the only thing we have planned is lots of t-ball games! we've had such a busy year already, it's exciting to have the summer all for us. Those fabrics would make a fabulous baby quilt!
I plan on trying NOT to work every single day and spending as much time with my 5 yr old as I can before she starts Kindergarten....sniff.
I didn't really have anything planned for the summer but within the last couple of weeks have started riding passenger on a motorcycle and now we have all kinds of weekend day trips planned. I will be touring the great state of Mi from the back of a motorcycle. I am so excited!

My plan is to sit by the side of the pool while my grandkids and neighbor kids play in it! Iced tea, sunshine and laughter - I'm a happy girl!
I am planning a vacation with my family and to stitching morning till night.

Hope your summer is an adventure as well...

This summer... we plan to do lots of raised bed gardening in our little urban yard, lots of biking, hikes in our provincial park nearby, and sprinklers.

I love your work :) Best wishes!

Can't wait!

This summer I have a lot on my plate...I will be packing to move to a new apartment across town, getting ready to put my daughter in kindergarten and most of all getting ready to give birth to my second daughter in September. I really hope that I am also able to fit in some sewing for this new sweet baby that will be here in 3 short months. Wow!!! Time flys!!!

What are you doing this Summer?!
Hopefully lots and lots of relaxation with my kiddos. And a trip to visit the in-laws.
a bit of camping with my husband & twins and a lot of play time at the park and some quiet time also... Hopefully a bit of sewing time too!!
I'm with "Nancy"... I'm planning on moving. I'm in the middle of a short sale right now and so I'm at the mercy of the banks... UGH! So, I have fabric in the plastic containers, and everything else in boxes... now, I just need a date to do this. Moving to the Carolinas to be with family and get into fabric back there.
I'm also moving. Seems to be a trend. :) No other big plans, but I hope to make it a fun one!
I will be creative and hope to learn Adobe illustrator. Love the fabrics...
Does it count if I live in Australia and we are just starting winter...rainy, cold, windy. I need some pretty, bright fabric to remind me that summer will be back again. :)
Oooooo! I love love love the fabric!!! We have cats, and both of our children still have their childhood stuffed-animal lions on their beds.
What am I doing this summer? Spending time with my college kids as they come home, working with small kids (babies and toddlers), doing as much as I can for my frail MIL, hosting a gathering of my old college friends, reading lots of books, keeping cool at the local watering hole, visiting family on the west coast, finishing up a quilting project or two, organizing my sewing room/office, puttering in my small garden... I think that is probably enough to fill one summer. :-)
I plan to enjoy gardening on the weekends since I work full time during the week. I love seeing all the glorious color from the flower beds when I step outside my home. I also plan to wallpaper both bathrooms and have tile laid in my kitchen. And of course I'll make lots of cool stuff from the fabric giveaway that is destined to be mine! :0) This is the cutest fabric ever - I LOVE kitties and have three: MeeMee, Splash and Willie. Best, Ani

My husband lost his job, so instead of staying home with my adorable baby (and I'm not just saying that, he is literally, THE most adorable baby ever),I will be spending my summer teaching repeat 9th grade at an inner city school in Southern California!

I don't know where to begin. I am out of school (I am a paraeducator for special needs children) for the first time in several years without having a summer assignment, so I will make cushions for the four grandfathers (four rocking chairs I have rescued over time), I will garden, play with my 4 dogs and 2 cats (and desert tortoise), and sew till I drop!

July will bring me double knee surgery, and a lot of therapy...and hopefully a lot of hand stitching!
I will be sending my son off to BS Jamboree for 12 days with 55,000 other scouts. A hard thing to do, but hopefully it will be a positive experience that will last a lifetime. I plan to sew and relax and hopefully get to the Cape!
