Drumroll please!
The winner is........ Moosecraft who said:
"My favorite thread for wool applique is Valdani 3-strand...there isn't any sheen to it...and since I also use a casual whip stitch, the finished piece is very prim. Lisa's designs are always a fun stitch... I've been admiring this one since it's release! Can't go wrong with fresh picked daisies in a glass ball jar!"
So, Moosecraft, email me your address and I'll get the kit in the mail to you. abryson@bendbroadband.com
Now, on to more Quilt Market pictures.
This is Kathy Schmitz who designs wonderful quilts and embroidery pieces. If you remember, I showed her trunk show just a few posts ago.
Here she is showing a block that she designed that will be available in September when the Moda designers have their blog hop.
The crispness of the red and white in her booth was stunning.
And her quilt from her new book, "Simply Red" was a "stop dead in your tracks" kind of quilt.
Isn't it fabulous? Well....Kathy is another generous designer who gave me an autographed copy of her book to give to one of you lucky readers.
This time, if you want to enter the giveaway, how about if you tell me what your favorite blog (or blogs) is/are. Please don't mention mine. I'm not fishing for complements, (honestly ;) I just like finding new blogs to inspire me and I'm sure many of you feel the same.
I'm such a sucker for the heart in hand design.
I have lots more pictures for you and even another giveaway, so stay with me people!
Hugs, Anne

Okay, I wish there was an edit button. I would say that of course, you are in the running for best blog, along with Yellow Farmhouse Karen (my dream house/quilting studio/decorating) and of course Lisa Bongean.
Ok, I didn't notice the contest either, lol.
Since we probably follow Anna's and Paulette's blogs, both girls always having wonderful postings with lots of eye candy, I would say, Kansas Troubles Quilters.
Debbie.
Two of my favs are Bee In My Bonnet and Charise Creates....always wonderful things to look at and follow along!
don't enter me in the giveaway...but the photos make me even more committed to making that Simply Red quilt!
Supergoof quilts is inspiring. She does have a translate button which is handy. I love the newbook by Kathy Schmitz it looks lovely!
I love all things Kathy Schmitz. In fact I'm working on a stitchery right now! Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful book. A blog I enjoy is Temecula Quilt Co.
Love the new Kathy book. Of course enjoy your blog. I have to say my favorite is Notforgotten farm. Lots of inspiring pictures there.
Thank you for a giveaway chance.
Kathy
Love!!! the red quilt and would love the booklet. One of my other fav blogs is Susan Branch. Not exactly a quilting blog, but great artwork, receipts and fun.
I'm working on a Kathy Schmitz pincushion kit- love her stuff! I always enjoy the blog "Sew Many Ways". Thanks for the chance to sew something from that terrific book. Yummy designs!
I'm giving you the link for one of the blogs I like to look at the photos of!
http://dengamlaskolan.blogspot.com/
It's not quilting, but I thought I'd throw out something a bit different.
I'd love to win the book. Looks great!
My favorite blog is Wool Crazy by JoAnn Mullaly. I love her stuff. I also follow all of her followers!
Tina

I like these blogs -
Cupcakes n Daisies
The Painted Quilt
LaVieEnRosie
Silver Thimble Talk
just to name a few :-)
I totally enjoy Nancy's blog,she shares Montana wildlife & her quilts @ http://tominerfolkart.blogspot.com/ ; and Woolensails blog for her prim work & living near the ocean in Rhode Island; and Susan Branch's blog, her art, recipes, and Martha's Vineyard.
:) Jackie in NC
Love all of Kathy's designs. Would love to win her book. I like most of the blogs that you read also. One that isn't about quilting is Stone Gable. She posts on Monday her menu for the week, her recipes are fabulous.
OMG as soon as I saw that RED quilt I knew I had to have that book and make that quilt ASAP
just love it, after all its RED what could be better!!!!!
favorite blogs....hmmm very hard to say
inspiration and always amazed at what they Aussies are making material obsession blog (even though she is a business its not like she is trying to sell anything its always about inspiration even if its not my fabric style I am always inspired) Karen from My yellow farm house especially when she posts pictures of her decorating and her quilt group show and tell! and then there is Timquilts.com his hand quilting is to die for and quiltsalott and every stitch blogs that I wish I was making every quilt they are or have made and then there is http://lavieenrosie.typepad.com Carrie she just makes me laugh....
ok, there are still another 25 I could tell you about that just inspire me with their work.....
Kathie
waving my hands here!!!!!!! pick me pick me!!!!!
I had watched Modas videos of the designer blocks and fell in love with hers too! Besides your blog and The Yellow Farmhouse I enjoy Karen at Log Cabin Quilter because she can whip up appliqué like nobody's business and has the love of prim, old and wool too. If you like humor and just about daily blog post go to Kim's Big Quilting Adventure. Kim needs to write a book it is that funny. I'll be back to see what others are saying.
I want this one! But must admit I'd be sharing it with a dear friend who spoils me with appliquing for me. I'd do the piecing and quilting of course.
BTW...heading out door today to make selections with builder.
Kathy's designs are beautiful! I like to follow:
www.karen-logcabinquilter.blogspot.com/
Karen always has such fun quilts and is working on multiple ones so the blog is ever changing. Very nice lady!
Thanks for the chance to win a book! Happy stitching!
Anna of Woolie Mammoth does a fantastic blog. Along with you!

congrats to the winner. I love your new giveawy too-that is a stunning quilt.
I have allot of blogs in my bloglovin list from gardening, to gluten free, to all of my different craft interests that I love to read.
What really inspires me daily though are gorgeous photography blogs-the layout of the photos to the beautiful colors really inspires my creativity. I have several that I enjoy but one of my favorites that is also artistic is Kim at Picking Poppies http://pickingpoppies.blogspot.com/
gorgeous quilts! Love the dark red and cream.
My favorite blog is Wanda Hansen's ExhuberantColor
Oh that red and white quilt is calling my name!! Love her designs....I have many favorite blogs but one that has inspired me to get more projects done is BOM quilter. Since I started reading her blog I now have a monthly list going of projects I would like to complete. I may not get them all done but at least I have an agenda and it's working for me!
Interesting blogs for inspiration for me come from of the decorating blogs. I see old quilt tucked away that give me ideas or a color combination? Check out some of the French Austrialan ( sp) and English blogs too. Costal charm takes me to some great blogs. I just find so much that I don't have enough time to look at them all. Karen styles and secrect sewing sisterhood really excite me. PattiO
Your blog is always such a treat, it's just hard to know what to comment on - it's all so nifty-neat-oo. Thanks for giving us a bit of market to see. Ms.Karen had to miss Woolies yesterday and I was so looking forward to getting her "report". I'll bet you girls had a great time! Love what you're doing with the civil war blocks too. I'm thinking I need to get myself organized and (stealing Karen's line here) maybe I'll try my hand at sewing. You do inspire me, so thanks for your great blog posts. Carry on!
That red and white is so nice! What fun to see it in person! Have fun with the give away...I will decline entry since I have a blog. Someone will be mighty lucky!!
Can't say that I really have a favorite, love yours, Lisa's .....they all have lots of eye candy and wonderfully inspiring ideas.
I like these blogs -
Cupcakes n Daisies
The Painted Quilt

Ooooh yippee! You made my day! Looks like the new Kathy Schmitz book is going to be a hot item!
I don't really have a "favorite blog"... i just tend to favor blogs with quilting, rug hooking and cross stitch... there is so much talent and inspiration out there in blogland.
Love the red of it all...I follow (stalk) quite a few blogs, including yours.. but to list a couple:
Not Forgotten Farm
Primitives By The Light of the Moon

So many of us would love to be the proud owners of Kathy's new book... it looks spectacular! It's impossible to name ONE favorite blog... my favorites are on my sidebar! If you have never visited Dilly Dimple (dillydimple.blogspot.com), you simply must! Josie writes about her quilting adventures but also about her adventurous life! She's a hoot! A great blog to read when you need a good belly tickle laugh!!!
One of my favorites is Rogue Quilter. Janet & I live an hour apart and have met in person a couple of times - her quilts are drab & dirty - just beautiful!
Wow, there are so many great quilting blogs. I follow quite a few from Europe, but I love Camille's and Bee in my Bonnet, Minick & Simpson, Tazzie's Quilts. So many to mention!!

Red Brolly
The painted quilt
Lynette Anderson
Chicken feed quilts in coledale Alberta
Jut to name a few!
Thanks for the chance!
I really regret not going to the red and white tribute in NYC. I love Kathy's new book and her new pillow and star bird applique block! Thanks for posting pictures. Not a new blog, but I love all of Jan Patek's designs and seeing her quilts on her blog. She has just posted another applique tutorial! Just watching her makes the whole process a little more approachable and I really like that she is providing this to all to learn how to applique!
I really enjoy Woolie Mammoth's blog. I envy her consistency in posting (I blog in my head more than online:)) and always enjoy her slide shows. She has a great bunch of friends who really get a lot accomplished!
Whoops! Autocorrect playing tricks on me again! I meant to say, 'stalker' and 'woolie mammoth ' just had to put that right for shames sake, ha!
Love red & white quilts...and that wool pillow is just gorgeous! I'm afraid I don't have any favorite blogs to add, because you already have all my favorites on your side bar (SweetP being my favorite...love her sense of humor)! Even though you said not to mention yours, it is also one of my favorites!
Your friend "Woolie Mammoth" and "Yellow Farmhouse"
i could lose some serious coin if I hung around you ladies!
Beautiful homes, gorgeous quilts -- great ideas -- fabulouos taste of course!!!
One of my favorite blogs is Paulette's "Sweet P Creations". Always an interesting read and she loves to post pictures of quilts. Love it!

I so appreciate the time and effort all blog owners devote to their bogs. I am a real fan of Kathy Schmitz designs!
I love Kathy Schmitz patterns, I have done many of them and have given several to my daughter-in-law. I am working on one of her emberoiery patterns now and really enjoy working on them.
