Lots of bloggers are hosting giveaways, etc. So, first, if you’re a new visitor, welcome…if you’re an old friend, welcome back! I’ll keep this brief so you can hop on to the next stop. I’m offering a set of blue fat quarters (four of them) to one winner and, yes, I can ship internationally. Now, you don’t have to be a follower or jump through any hoops, just leave me a comment.

My favorite party memories are of my childhood birthday parties: homemade cakes, crepe paper streamers and my parents would organize fun games for me and my friends. Thanks for the giveaway!
What a great selection of blues! I think my favorite party memory just happened at my brother’s wedding last week. My tiny girl rocking out with the band. So fun.
Love you Blog Beth!

Blue is my favorite!
I think my favorite party memory would be my grandson’s first birthday – he was so cute and everyone was so happy to be together! Family came from all over just to be there. To be the first grandchild!
This will be my first Christmas without my mom and I’ve been thinking about all the happy Christmases I got to have with her. Thanks for the giveaway. I added it to my weekly link up.
Lovely fat quarters! Thanks for the opportunity!!
Thanks for this giveaway. I don’t really have any fab party memories as I’m a total party pooper, lol! But I can tell you that my stash is in a desperate need of more blues! 😉
Those blue fabrics look great against the green grass!

I love these blues – so pretty! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the chance.
that one was mispelled so wouldn’t go to my page
To celebrate my 21st birthday my mom and her sister took me to the horse races. While we were there they had a drawing for a trip to California which my mom won. So exciting! She always lived in PA and had never flown before so it was really a treat!
Hi,

Loved the quilt you did For the Boys Hop. I like the blue charms, thanks for the giveaway.
I meant to say FQ instead of charms.
Thanks for the pretty blue giveaway! No good party memories. I do enjoy spending time with friends however.
I find fat quarters hard to resist. I have to admire them for a bit before I can cut into them.
Thanks for the chance to win. I love decorating cakes for my children.
The blue fabrics are very beautiful. Best party was my wedding recession and first dance with my husband.
This is my first Blog Hop! I’m really enjoying seeing everyone’s creative stuff!
Blue just happens to be the color I’m most needing to fill out my stash.

Love your blues. I’m enjoying the blog hop, it’s like a virtual party, isn’t it?
Thanks for the chance. I love blues.
Well, my wedding reception was quite a party…I wanted to do it again 🙂
Best party memory was my retirement party. Love having more time to volunteer and sew.
My husbands 50th birthday party was a combination celebration of Alaska & Hawaii’s 50th Statehood and Barbie’s 50th birthday. So naturally guests could come dressed like they were from either state. Best of all he had a Barbie cake. Fun time indeed!
Hey thanks for the giveaway! I am really enjoying all the different blogs. I will be back to dig deeper. 🙂
Thanks for a great giveaway. Best party….a birthday celebration for my imaginary friend when I was a little girl. My whole family played along. My mom even baked a cake.
Hi Beth and thank you for sharing those beautiful blue fabrics! Cant’ say that I have many party memories as I have never been much party animal. I enjoy small parties with few friends, good food, wine and fun talk! x Teje

Hello! I’m new to blogging, but enjoying the experience. Next week is my 65th birthday, so maybe that will be my best party …. so far 🙂
Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
ohh blues are always great – a party memory would more be about after the party I used to drive my parents nuts by getting up ful of energy on January first asking for breakfast….
Great Blog!
Awe, thank you. I think one of my favorite memories is the birth of my daughter…then of course my son. =) Sweet treasures.
Thank you for the chance to enter your giveaway. My favorite party memory is of my daughters 2nd birthday.

Thank you for the chance to enter your giveaway. The blue fabrics are very pretty. conn_and_vans_mom atyahoodotcom
A favourite party memory is when my daughter made cotton candy for all of her friends. They were so excited. Thanks for the giveaway.
Lovely fabric, thanks for the giveaway.
Thanks for the giveaway. I can’t really think of a favorite party memory….maybe when my daughter turned one – she was sick and wouldn’t touch her cake!
What pretty blues. Anytime my family can get together I am thankful so all my memories are the best, (and i can’t think of one).
Beautiful fabrics!
Your name sounds quite Norwegian – may be you have some connections to Norway?
Ooh, I love those blue fat quarters. The perfect colors for a hexagon quilt I am making for my bedroom. Thanks for the chance.

Lovely blues makes me think of swimming, I just want to dive in.
Thanks for a chance to win the blue fat quarters!!
Favorite party memory….my son feeding his first birthday cake to his sister 🙂 Thank you for the giveaway
Hmm. This summer at my nephew’s one year old birthday party, he got a toddler sized four wheeler from his grandparents. It was a lot of fun, but prone to crashes! The best one involved my one year old nephew, my almost 2 year old twins, a slide, a four wheeler, and a toy shopping cart. Oh my goodness, life with young children is never boring!
Great fabric and site. My memory was not a party but turned into one for my 3 year old grandson. Having lunch at Roadhouse Grill with myself and his uncle, country music on the jukebox and some of the waiters were doing a line dance and before we realized what had happened he was out there line dancing with them just like he knew the moves. One of the best times my brother and I ever had together. He loves my Grandson as if he was his own. Blessing, Jackie
Thank you for the giveaway. My favorite party memory was just this year when we had my great grand daughters party at our lake at the beach. It was beautiful all day and the party was scheduled at 3pm. Just as everyone got in the water a terrible storm blew in and we all had to stay away from the beach.
My favorite party memory was when our son turned five , we had a party for him and a little friend at the party asked him how old he was and his reply to the little girl is “I’m five going on six” , I guess he was trying to impress her . Thanks for the chance .
Thanks for the chance to win!
My favourite party memory … hmm, maybe I should forget them? Love your pic in the header! I went to London on a post-university trip, and I was supposed to get a tour of the inner workings of the bridge, but on the day I visited my tour guide (a cousin) was sick!
Blue, I’ve been feeling in the blue mood, well a Happy Blue Mood that is. Thanks for hosting on the giveaways.
My daughter’s swim party.
I got lost looking at where all your side buttons took me!

Nice blues. I love blog hop parties a great way to see people’s creativity and get inspiration.
I’m thankful for you introducing yourself to us and wanting to have a giveaway. You are one of God’s blessings today. Thanks for the chance.
You really have an interesting collection of side buttons…a little bit of everything! Thanks for the giveaway.
Ah blue, I’m a sucker for blue. I’m not a great party animal. I generally prefer being in the kitchen, making sure people are getting fed. I love to chat there and have had many great talks over the dishes. Thanks
I love parties with good friends getting to have time together. Thanks!
Great giveaway! Fat quarters are always appreciative. I am a new follower.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks for the lovely giveaway
Thank you for a pretty giveaway.
I love throwing parties for my children but as they both celebrate in the middle of summer it is a bit difficult to keep everything cool. Last year I made little lego men in chocolate and they looked fine until you tried to pick them up – then they melted in your hand! YUCK!! but the kids loved it.
Thanks for a great giveaway Beth!
Thanks for this great giveaway! My best party memories from the last years are the complements I’m getting for sewing my little girl’s dresses!
Love your 2013 Finishes – and Gizmo, too!
Love those blues! I am new to your blog, but will come back!
For some reason I seem to gravitate towards blue, in my clothing, in my quilt fabrics, but I love color so I don’t know why I do this! Weird, huh? sewingblogsarefun at yahoo dot com
Blue is my favourite colour. Favourite holiday parties are the ones the kids put on at school when they were little.
Those blues would be welcome to my Dear blue Jane stash.Thanks for the fun!
Thanks for a great giveaway. I am thankful for a husband who never complains when I buy fabric.
Those blues are so pretty.
Happy Thanksgiving!

my favorite party memory was my 40th birthday. It was held at my boyfriends lounge, many friends and family attended and the regulars also made my evening special.. I had 6 tables lined end to end and there were flowers all down the middle.. We had the best time and I was so suprised that so many people cared about making my day special.
Thank you for sharing your fabric. This blog hop has been fun. Thanks!
Thanks for the chance – and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi, I don’t have any favorite party memory, but a favorite Christmas memory is making homemade root beer about two weeks before Christmas, so it would be ready to drink. We used a huge metal tub,and Dad would stir it with a big wooden spoon. Mom would add in the sugar; we, my brother and I, would add two bottles, one for each of us, of McCormick’s Root Beer; and Dad would add in the water, and stir. He’d have the tub on a kitchen chair, and then use a tube to siphon out the root beer into brown bottles arranged on a square sheet cake pan. Dad, my brother, and I would sit on the floor until all the bottles were filled, then Mom would wipe the necks of the bottles, then hand them to Dad so he could cap them. This was all done while listening to Christmas music, and while watching our beagle, Duke, lick up all the drips from the floor. It’s a memory I cherish.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the give away.

This blog hop is so much fun and then gifts to boot! I’m always looking for blue fabrics to use in Wounded Warriers’ quilt.
Thanks for a great giveaway! 🙂
Lovely blue fabrics! I just got home from a party – a Grey Cup party. That is our big end of season playoff for football. We went skiing for an hour and a half, watched the game, ate dinner then played a rip roaring game of dominoes. Fun was had by all 🙂
New visitor – thanks for your participation and for the generous giveaway!
Great way to link up and educate me about the links across the quilting international quilting community!!

Love the blues! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

The blue fat quarters are a perfect. They go into a quilt for my son. His fave color is blue. Don’t really have a favorite party memory. A favorite memory is of a dear neighbor. Her daughter and I brought in a very small garter snake to show her. She about beat us to death with a broom before we got out of the house. Neither of us knew she hated snakes. Days later we all were laughing to tears about it. May she rest in peace.
you have picked a fab collection to giveaway…thank you!
Great fabric. Thanks for the opportunity. Love the blues.
Love the colors. Thanks for the chance to win.
Lovely blues… 23 years ago at Christmas I wrapped up maternity & baby clothes patterns for my Mom and woodworking patterns for a crib/high chair and Noah’s Ark set for my Dad to announce that they were going to be grandparents for the 1st time! So much fun.
When my kids were little, we would usually have theme parties for their birthdays. They weren’t too elaborate but my kids still talk about their favorites.
Nie colors! Since the kids are grown up I am out of parties 😉 I like the days when the family is together! Thanks for the chance!
My favourite party memory is the fancy dress party my Mum organised for me the summer I left London to go to live in Italy.
Loving the hop! Thanks for the yummy blues. I love a costume party. One year me and my family dressed up like the Addams Family, too fun!
Lovely giveaway! Thanks for the chance!
Thank You for the giveaway and Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you for the giveaway, pretty blues.

We have deemed ourselves the FLAWs. We get together often but it is the holiday parties that are so much fun when we get together playing fun and silly games and eating dinner. Our husbands join in the fun when we the Former Ladies At Work gather together. Lovely fabric in your giveaway!
My son was born in February during the school winter break, so we usually leave the very cold northern New York and head to grandma’s in not quite as cold Virginia. One year it was so warm that when we had his party, I was outside grilling hot dogs and hamburgers. I never thought that I would be having an outdoors party for my winter baby.
Me encanta el azul.
Soy seguidora de su bloc,10000 cariños.
My favorite party memory was the Super Bowl Party I went to back in 1988 while I was in HS. I was invited because the host and hostess wanted to introduce me to someone. It turned out the host liked me instead— after they broke up, several months later, him and I started dating, eventually got married and are still together now.
Beautiful fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win
I like the idea of a UFO list. I don’t think I could bear to start one however much I like to cross things off. I have a rubber tote of projects I haven’t even cut yet. Silly job cuts into my sewing time.
Best party memory – meeting my hubby for the first time when I was 15, a second time when I was 26, and the third (and the right!) time when I was 28.
I have wonderful memories of gathering around my grandmother’s player piano every year for her annual Christmas party. We all took turns working the foot petals to get the rolls to turn. It was a workout and sing-along all in one!
My favorite color!!!!! thanks for the chance to win it :O)
My best party memories are the family dinners. Thank you for a chance win your giveaway.

Lovely Blue Prints. I Live In Florida And Love To Quilt.
I love blue & your fat quarters are so pretty!
Blue has become one of my favorites after years of loving red. Maybe it is because I am getting older!
