Those quilts look fantastic! Thanks for thread catcher pattern:)
What a great chance to win, I have really enjoyed this blog hop, thanks for taking the time to make it happen. Really enjoyed looking at your photos.
Love the thread catcher pattern. Definitely on my list of TO-DO’s.
I love the little thread catchers, I need to make one for my mom and myself. She hand pieces quilts and I am working on my first grandmothers flower garden and that thread catcher will come in handy. Oh yes and I will have to try the cookie recipe…always a sucker for a cookie and a hot cup of coffee. Best wishes.
nice post and thanks for the pattern, very useful
love your site and work and my dream is visiting you one day
Lisa,
Your pups are so cute! I like your new line of fabric and can’t wait to use them in a project.
Wish I could get to Wisconsin and visit your shop again..it is such a treat!!!!
Cindy from Calif.
Am enjoying this country fair blog hop. Lissa has really got some fun ideas! Hope I’m “IT” for winning one of your giveaways. Oldfashioned is my favourite.
I love to read your newsletter. I love quilts and making them. I am living in Milano, Italy, too far away to follow any of your classes.
Lilian W.
I also always liked the county fair, and since our kids were in 4-H and we worked in the Parents booth with the band, we were almost always there! I love the little thread catcher! That would make a great gift for my guild friends for Christmas!
As a p.s., I finally finished my Primitive Garden quilt……..I absolutely LOVE IT!
I like the way the quilts in the first photo are displayed, the cakes look tasty & your puppies ar sooooo cute! I’m hoping I’ll be one of the lucky ones to win a give-away from you!
All this fair talk is making me so hungry! I’ll have to check out your recipe after I finish commenting!
Great idea…..a thread catcher….and it’s looks so easy to take along with you.
Enjoy your trip. ๐
Oatmeal cookies are my favorite. I’m going to have to try this recipe.
Yummy!
I just received some Little Gatherings fabric and I love it. Thank You!
Too funny Lisa, I remember those days too. County fairs, boys and concerts. Those were the days! Love your new fabric lines and absolutely love the thread catcher. You are such an inspiration! Keep going girl!! The sky’s the limit!!!
the thread catcher is sooo cute! i am going to make one today. will make nice christmas gifts too. thank you. the cookie recipe looks yummy. unfortunately, my physical limitations won’t allow me to enjoy them. however, it looks like a good recipe. so nice of you to do this. your pups look so sweet. enjoy their company! hope to win and am grateful for the opportunity. thanks!
Wonderful quilts and lovely doggies!

I am a huge fan of your entire site. I love all your fabrics new and old and have recently discovered the world of wool. 8 completed projects so far and many more to come! Thank you for a chance to win!
Love the fabrics, thanks for the thread keeper. I’ve shopped your booth at Houston and always enjoy seeing what you’ve brought. it’s the closest I can get to the actual shop.
Your pictures are great – almost as good as being there!

Thank you for the chance to win Lisa. I have some of your patterns and I thoroughly enjoy your creativity.
Love your blog and your patterns. Thanks for the giveaway!
Love your pictures! The dogs are SO cute! I’ve never worked with wool, so that would be nice to win!
Nice photo of the pups…Jeets is the GQ and Prez is singing ‘Cotton Candy Land’. I will be making a couple of those cute thread catchers for sure as the are easy, fast, and much needed.
What a nice blog. Brings back memories of the fairs I attended. I never had the nerve to enter anything I made. Now I regret it! Cute project. You are so talented.
Diedre
Cute puppies!!
Thanks for the generous giveaway!
The thread counter looks great and thou puppies are just so CUTE !! Beautiful giveaway. I have really enjoyed this blog hop.
Michelle
I love that you named your dog after Elvis! LOL. They’re both so cute.
I LOVE this project! I am always leaving little piles of embroidery thread around the house and it drives my DH to distraction. I’m going to get to work on this today! Thanks for the chance at some Little Gatherings. I recently made a quilt of valor quilt and used some of it in there. Perfect!
Great post!! I love your stuff!!! Thanks for the great giveaway!!
What a lovely post! Beautuful pictures. I love your quilts (alzo the disposal) your project …..and all!!!
Thank you for sharing with us, and many thanks for the vive away
Ciao
A routine stop when I go to Appleton, I love your shop and patterns. You are definitely busy….. Thanks for sharing your talents.
My bucket list has on it – travel to Wisconsin to Primitive Gatherings to shop. I’ll make it, until then I’ll just enjoy your the eye candy you give us and buy on line. Love the pups!
The puppies are so cute! My sister is a big Jeeter/Yankees fan. Is Prez singing? By the way, the quilt is gorgeous.
That thread catcher is a brilliant idea. I end up with a little pile of threads next to my work, then my daughter comes near the table, it all gets bundled up and moved out of the way, and I spend my next hand sewing session sorting all the rubbish thread ends from the good bits of embroidery thread!
Thanks for sharing.
I have so loved reading all the posts about the fairs! When we lived in Maine, they had the best county fairs and we went every fall to one or two. These posts sure get me pining for all the smells, tastes and eye candy! Thank you for the little thread catcher. It’s just adorable and a quick and easy project. Have a blessed day!!
Those dogs are very sweet – it is a fantastic photo of them – and I love the Bakers Dozen quilt – it has turned out beautifully
Thanks for the chance to win!
Those are great country fair pictures! The quilts are beautiful. I love cheese–many kinds, but not fried!
I hope I win some of your striking fabrics.
I didn’t get to the fair this year either and we have so many around us to choose. But am having fun visiting all the sites in this Country Fair Blog Hop. A great idea!
I think this is my first visit to your blog. Your pup is so cute, glad the Benadryl worked. I didn’t know you could give it to a dog. I love flannel for quilt backs, but I have never thought of making a whole quilt out of one. Not that much real cold weather here in NC.
Love the new section with Lisa’s recipes! The Whoopie Pie recipes has become a family favorite here. I also love the new line and hope to win a few extras for my stash.
Happy to see someone from WI has joined the Moda team. Love your fabrics and also your booth at the Madison show this year. I’m inspired by your minis. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thank you for the great giveaway… and the pictures of the quilts at the fair. Very inspiring!!
Mary
Great pictures. Of course, I love the puppy pictures the most. I would love to win some of your new fabric line too!
Terrific giveaway! Love your puppies!
Oh, LOVE that picture with all the quilts – I wish we had a fair close enough to go to. Thank you for the tutorial, I’ve already printed it out & hope to make two tonight for two friends who are visiting tomorrow. And thank you (and Moda) for the giveaways! Fingers crossed that I win (which is making it very hard to type!) lol
Thanks so much & have a wonderful day,
Amy
Your so right, the county fair is really fun. Ours is a 4H fair so it is especially fun to see what the kids are making.
I had some surgery 3 weeks ago and since I can’t do anything, I am working my way through your 9 patch book. Right now I have the peony wreath and the vintage 9 patch started. Great fun! Thanks for all your great projects.
Thanks for the pattern and recipe Love your work. Thanks..
Love the thread catcher, I need several of those when I work on quilts.
Love the quilt and the Moda gals. Such talent.
Thank you for the giveaway.
Meet the puppies when I come to Primitive Gatherings? No problem. See you at wool weekend in Nov. Yeah!
Love your blog and your fabrics!
Great photo of your dogs! Beautiful primitive designs – Thank you!
You gave us the pattern for the thread catcher at the Gathering earlier this year; I have made a couple and love them. Thanks for that and I would love some of those flannels.
Great post! Love your pups too. Are they boxers or pit bulls?
First of all, love your pups picture! And your fabric is terrific, right up my alley. Thanks for the chance to win. I look forward to touching all of your fabrics, patterns, and yummy wools in Georgia next month! I’m just starting on your snowman wool framed picture pattern and I’ having a ball.
Beyond perfect! Someday I will make it to “your house”!
Thank you for the recipe. With oil instead of butter AND oatmeal it is really a health food!
The pattern for the thread catcher will be useful – I may make them as gifts and fill them with oatmeal cookies wrapped in cellophane.
What a great little gift for a hand sewer. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Love those pups and there names.
I need one of those thread catchers! I’ll just add that to my list….
Thanks for the cool project. I would love to win some wool.
Your little thread catcher is adorable! Thank you for sharing with us.

I really like your patterns and have decorated my home with several of your projects. Your new fabric line is just perfect. Thank you for sharing your creativity and thanks for this giveaway. Hope I win.
Great post! How did you get the boys to pose like that? I don’t think there are enough Milk Bones in America to have mine sit still. Mine are a little bigger at 95lbs. each. We didn’t get them until they were 1 year and 2-1/2 years old (Father and son). We had a little “un-training” to do first!
Thanks for the pattern and the wonderful giveaway.
I love your wool and needle flannels – so soft and cuddley. They are beautiful! Pat
Cute thread catcher!! I’m bringing mine to Wisconsin in November!!! Thanks for the hop!
Loved your post, especially the puppies. How cute are they. Just found your new fabric “Little Gatherings” at my quilt shop, have to make something, just love them. Thanks for a chance to win some. Can’t wait to see if you pick me. Keep up the good work.
Lisa, GREAT pattern! Quilting friends have made these into individual candy dishes for a Church luncheon, very cute!! Thanks for all your great patterns, fabric & ideas. Keep up the good work!!
Your cookie recipe sure sounds good, will have to try them. I really like both of your new lines of fabric, the flannels really look nice!! I hope to get to your shop someday! Am enjoying the blog hop. Thanks!
thank you for pattern .
i would like win the pack of materials!

Love your new fabrics, thanks for the giveaway and post!
Loving your new magazine. Hope I win…I really need to get started on my wool stash…janet
Great pattern and recipe, Lisa. Thanks! I liked the quilt with the chickens and I don’t usually go for chickens. Pigs, but not chickens. Not sure what that may implicated I was in a previous life ๐
I am a new follower of yours. Great sight. Glad I found u. Love the thread catcher tut. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the post and I’m lucky enough to get to go to the shop whenever I feel the need! Ca’t wait to make the thread catcher I know just where it can go, next to my chair in the living room!

Thanks for the recipe – believe there will be some oatmeal cookies in my cookie jar this weekend – and probably a thread catcher, too. Thanks for the giveaway, too.
Great post , love your new fabric line.Thanks …Janice
I heard about your header on Cupcakes and Daisies – it is lovely! And Jeets must be the dog on the left, and Prez the one on the right… they are precious.
that’s the coolest thread catcher! Thanks so much!
The pups are adorable! I have two “boys” myself -Gage and Gannon! 2 year old lab/shepherd mix, the nicest dogs ever! And two grown-up sons too! Enjoyed visiting your shop in person last year, and am a frequent online shopper! Love your designs, am currently working on your summer block of the week – a little behind, but who cares!
I couldn’t read the magenta print, but I sure could see the pictures…thank you for the cute thread catcher pattern!
Oh I would love to win your giveaway! Thank you for the pattern too!
I’d love to add some wool to my stash for winter projects! I just checked and see you’re only 250 miles from me. That sounds like a fun overnight trip – before the snow flies.
Thank you for the pattern. Always enjoy reading your posts. New fabrics are awesome!
I finished up one of your free patterns from the shop last summer – a small wool basket and it keeps me company in cubicleland. What a treat to get when we bought something at your shop! Thank YOU! Vicki Q. of Watertown, Wisconsin
Thank your for the chance to win. What a great pattern, I still don’t have a thread catcher so all my pieces wind up all over my counter and floor.
Oh. that food made me soo hungry!!
Wonderful post, LOVE the Thread Catcher!!!

Thank you so much for the recipe and pattern!
It was great to meet you and see your wonderful booth at the AQS event in Des Moines yesterday! Although we were in your booth with a million other ladies all of them grabbing at your wonderful patterns and projects! I am just sitting admiring all the purchases that I made in your booth, the best booth at the event in my opinion!
I love seeing all the exhibits.
Thanks for much for the pattern and for the chance to win.
Shawn
The thread catcher will be very useful. Your fabrics are beautiful. Sure hope I win some.
Exactly what I love at the fair too! Thanks for participating in the Hop!
Those cakes looked good enough to eat! Love your thread catcher. Thank you for sharing!
Lisa, your dogs were just so cute in that picture. They are really growing! Thanks for the pattern and direction for the thread catcher. I am thinking of a variation in wool. Maybe I’ll use it for my floss stash as I work on a project, it’s too pretty for catching just thread scraps. I love your newest fabric lines, can’t wait for the next! Thanks for a chance to win!
Thank you for the recipe and pattern…new to this quilting world and new to your blog…i’ve bookmarked all the Moda Hop blogs so I’ll be back often! Love the picture of the quilts…

Thanks for the brilliant little thread catcher project – I can’t wait to make one and get rid of the old icecream container sitting on my sewing table.
Love the new fabrics, especially the flannels. Thanks for the thread catcher pattern. Also thanks for the chance to win some of your awesome fabric.
Love your blog and all the projects you show — such eye candy!! I wish I was closer to your store but that would definitely be TROUBLE but what fun I would have! You always inspire me to work harder and try different things.
Keep up all the wonderful posts and projects you show us.
I have gotten soo much inspiration from your fair pics! Thanx, L
I enjoyed getting to meet you at your booth in Des Moines. It’s always one of my favorite stops at the show.
Hopefully, next year, you find time to go to the fair! Thanks for the chance!
I love the thread catcher and will go through my stash today to find the fabrics for making one. Thank you for all the fun posted in the Moda blog this time.
It’s so much fun to read your blogs. I enjoy the projects and the recipes and the fun stories about your travels. Thanks for the chance to win some of your new fabric.
Those are very cool quilts in your fair picture. I enjoy reading your blog (on a regular basis) and it has been great fun to meet all the Moda designers. Thanks for the project, too.
Thank you so much for the projects… I’m going to make that cute thread catcher today! The recipe and quilt block looks great… thank you for including those.
I didn’t get to a big Fair this year, so this Country Fair Blog Hop has been a real treat!
What cute puppies you have!!
The fabrics look beautiful…just right for an autumn or winter project.
: )
Joanne L.
Thank you for the great thread catcher pattern, I am always looking for something that isn’t breakable and this is perfect. I can fold it up without emptying in and put it in my stitchery tin when on the go!
I first met you at Primitives of the Midwest and really enjoyed it. I love your fabrics and now the flannels are my fav.. Your BOM are always sweet and easy enough for novice quilters.. The tread catcher is adorable.Thanks for sharing..
Maggey
awesome project, I’m going to make some as gifts.
Thanks for the generous give away………
Hi Lisa!
Another wonderful project for us! I love the thread catcher and the cookie recipe. Of course, I will have to make the star block…I love stars too. Thanks so much for sharing your life with us. This has made me love your site and and your even more.
Thanks again and wish me luck!
Mary
Cute little project…thanks! I petted the flannels yesterday at the AQS show and it would be awesome to win any of your fabrics.
Karen in Breezy Point
Wonderful post! The picture of the puppies put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing the recipe and pattern ๐
Would love to win any of your fabrics!
So wonderful to visit your blog for the first time. I recently picked up a couple of LG charm packs and was planning to make the “Full House” Schnibbles pattern. Very sweet!
Great pictures of the quilts and the little thread catcher looks fun to make. Thanks
What a wonderful pattern. Thank you. I love your fabric. It really works for me! Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Mary
The thread catcher is a perfect idea….just the right size for the arm of the couch and close at hand for some buttonhole stitching on wool! Thanks so much for the chance at the exciting give-aways.
That thread catcher is a wonderful idea. I love primitive quilts. Your fabrics are gorgious!
mmmm…fried cheese super yummy! I need a thread catcher, I am tired of my clothes being my thread catcher! Lisa in Texas
Thankyou so much for both the pattern and the recipe. Both are great!
Love the little thread catcher. Enjoyed reading all the different blogs during the fair!
Lisa, you have another winner! I have the opportunity to visit your store regularly for therapy and for that I am greatfull! Visiting your site gives us quilters even more of your fabulous ideas! Your thread catcher and cookie recipe are ones I must try!
loved the quilt pictures from the fair. Hope to try the thread catcher. Thanks,
Pups are too cute!! With names like those, they can’t help but be the best dogs…EVER!
Love the picture of your dogs, way too cute. I have never been to a state fair, but after following the blog hop I think I am going to have to really try and go at least once. Thanks for the give away.
I haven’t been to a fair in many, many years. This is one I can attend and not leave home. Now if they could just invent a computer that lets you smell the yummy fair foods.
Love all of your work … Especially the wool projects. Picked up several yards of your flannels this past week while visiting the Midwest. Stopping at your store is on my bucket list for next year. Appreciate all of your hard work!
Lisa – What’s not to love about all your fabrics, quilts, etc……I only wish I could finish
90% of them in one lifetime! Thanks for all your inspirations!!!
Your dogs are darling. I like your design style as well; I go between traditional and prims in my decorating taste. I’d love to live in a log house. Thanks for the chance to win some of your fabrics.
Love the thread catcher! Thank you for the giveaway; blessings!
Caryn
The new fabric line is wonderful! And I absolutely LOVE the picture of the puppies – it’s awesome!!
Your dogs are adorable. How sweet!
Great blog post, Lisa. I saw your new flannel line in a quilt shop this week and would love to have some. The softest flannel, ever! Thanks for the chance to win.
Lisa,
With your gardening talents, I do believe you are a country girl at heart! ๐ Love the new pic of the dogs – that must be Prez singing. Thanks for all the great things you create, and inspire us to create as well. Your talents are endless. Thanks for sharing and we’ll see you soon at the shop.
Stacy McDaniel
Hi Lisa – this is my first visit to your blog. Love your County Fair pictures. I live in Rhinelander & have relatives in Neenah so will get down to visit your shop one of these days. Can’t wait to see your flannels. Give those doggies a hug – so cute.
What a lovely little pattern. The dogs are .really cute .Thanks for a chance to win fabric from your line.

Paula P
Thank you for a chance to win. What a cute little project, I’ll be making one of these little thread catchers.
Will have to give the thread catcher a try, thanks for the pattern. Love your fabrics. Enjoyed reading about
your fair experiences.
These County Fair blogs have been so much fun to read– really takes me back to my childhood when going to the fair every year was SUCH fun… the rides and games, the livestock exhibits, the fair food! I’ve entered some of my projects over the years and have won a few ribbons– even won a “Best in Show” ribbon a few years ago for a photograph of an old, weathered mountain fence! I love the Fair and I love winning prizes!! ๐ Thanks for giving 12 of us a chance to win one of your wonderful gifts!!! ๐
Your quilt picture from the fair makes me want to head straight to my sewing machine and get busy. Thank you for the chance to win some of your beautiful fabrics!
Fun post! Gorgeous fabrics!!
Your puppy dogs are so cute! Thank you for the cute patterns and I may try the cookies this afternoon with my 4 yr old.
Fun post! Love the thread catcher and fabric.
What a great post. Thank you for the thread catcher and your block pattern, and I love any kind of oatmeal cookies. I saw your red and white ‘Quilt in a Day’ . Do you have a pattern for it? I looked in your store, but didn’t see it. Would be perfect for DD who lives in CO.
Ahh Lisa, I remember the 4 H fairs in Wausau and Athens during the years my daughters Amanda and Brandy rode horses in 4H. Sad how time flies.
Thanks for the great blog, I love reading them, almost as much as I enjoy shopping at the store and staying with Terry at the Gathering!
Peggy
Love the dog pictures! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Cute dogs! Beautiful fabric!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I love your new line ‘Little Gatherings’. A couple of weeks ago a friend and I went to a quilt store during the local quilt shop hop and saw 2 bundles of this as soon as we walked in. Needless to say, we snatched them up as quick as we could. However, I could always use more!
Your dogs are so cute! Thanks for the freebie and the chance to win, I love your fabric!
Can’t wait to try the oatmeal cookies and the adorable thread catcher. Looking forward to visiting your shop some day. I have participated in many county fairs ~ fun memories. Beautiful display of quilts & ribbons
~Debbie
Thanks for a great blog and a great little pattern. The photos are fantastic and the pups are simply adorable!
Thank you for sharing such a great post. I would love to win some of the Wool and Needle flannels. I have the perfect pattern in mind.
I just love all of your products and your dogs!! I visit Primitive Gatherings on line daily!!! Our Fryeburg Fair starts on Sunday and I hope to go this week. I also believe in a past life I was a farmgirl!! I would love to win any product of yours. I look forward to making the little thread catcher this weekend. Enjoy fall!!
My dream is to also come out an stay at the Gathering< Someday!!
Great blog post! The thread catcher is so cute, thanks for sharing the pattern. I love the photo of your dogs! I was fortunate enough to visit your booths in Paducah this year and I love your patterns and fabrics. I whipped up my Itty Bitty Pinwheels kit right away after getting back home and now I’m ready for 45 and Life to go. I LOVE that quilt. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful blog and thanks for the pattern and giveaway
I was thrilled you were at the Cincinnati show. Hoping you come back next year. I love your wools.
I think it is safe to say that I am your biggest fan ๐ I have been following you forever and truly love everything you do. It’s like you read my mind and then design for me personally…he, he, he. I am currently trying to finish your 2011 Summer BOW and am hoping I can get it done be the end of this year. I really did try to do a block a week, but after 3 weeks fell behind (story of my life).
So glad you are now a Moda designer; they picked a winner when they picked you! Keep up the good work and know that you continue to inspire not only me, but thousands (hmmm, maybe millions) of others.
Love the quilt display! Thanks for the cute thread catcher.
I love your thread catcher project..a great little gift idea.
Joan C
Thanks for a great post. You really coved all the bases! I’m looking forward to making cookies and a thread catcher. Love your doggies…
Love your puppies!! Thanks for the receipe – can’t wait to try it. So enjoyed your class when you visited Cullman, Alabama and enjoy all your your projects and patterns. Would REALLY love to win one of the gifts. Thanks for the fun stuff you show.
Have fun at the AQS in Des Moines!!!
Love the little thread catcher. How come thread seems to make it to every room of the house! Thanks for the giveaway.
Cute Doggie People. Thanks for sharing your blog with us. I would love to give one of your gifts a nice home.

I LOVE the picture of the dogs! My favorite building at the Minnesota State Fair is the Creative Activicies building, with all the quilts, handwork, and baked items. Thanks for sharing the Little Thread Catcher pattern. This will make for a great “just a little extra” Christmas gift for some quilting friends. I LOVE your Little Gathering line so much I already have two fat quarter bundles, plus yardage to make both the Little Northwinds and 45 and Life To Go quilts (I turned 45 this year, so it will be fitting). The Wool & Needle Flannel fabrics look beautiful, would love to have some of that line too. Keep up the great work that you are doing, it is appreciated!

FINALLY! The blog post I’ve been waiting for! I love, love, love your blog, patterns, and fabric….just my style! Applique is my favorite technique, especially WOOL applique, and I love how much your new flannels look like wool. I’ve been searching locally for your Little Gatherings line with no luck, so if I don’t win it ๐ guess I’ll have to order it online! Actually I’d be thrilled to win any of your designs!!! Thank you for the cute thread catcher pattern.
Lisa,
You are so talented! Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Hand sewing & puppies…great therapy! ๐
I’m looking forward to meeting you next week at the Crazy Quilter’s meeting in Allentown (Emmaus). I’ve signed up for your workshop, too. Have a safe journey. Thanks for the giveaways. Kathie L in Allentown
Thank you for the fabulous pattern! I could have used one of these the other night at church where we were working on sewing projects, so now I can make for the next time. I love your block pattern and the oatmeal cookies sound divine. I also love the chicken quilt in the top photo–gorgeous! Thank you for a wonderful sharing post!

I love your fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win in your give-a-way! Have a great weekend!
PS – the quilts in the pics above are really gorgeous and there is a lot of variety too. Our fairs typically only have 1-2 quilts.
This blog hop is so fun. Thanks for sharing all of your ideas with us. Thanks for the giveaways too.
Love all of your work, especially the wools. Picked up some of your flannels this past week while visiting the midwest – they are beautiful! I appreciate how hard you work to make us happy. Visiting your store is on my bucket list for next year-can’t wait.
Thank you for the thread catcher pattern.and the chance to win some of your fabric. Very cute dogs!
I love your stuff! It all has such warmth. Moda was lucky to add you to their line up of designers. Thanks for all your designs and sharing your cute puppies.
Those quilts at the fair are so pretty. Your thread catcher pattern is great. I used the new laminates for the inside of mine to make the threads fall out easier when you empty them.
Have a great time at the BIG quilt show in Des Moines. We’re having beautiful Fall days for your visit.
Sorry but it’s impossible to read your Fair answers on your black background.
It’s so sad the hop has come to an end, but they saved the best for last eh? The thread catchers are cute & sooo easy, Thanks!!
Lisa, I live in Temecula and would love to take a class with you the next time you visit here. I think you got your beautiful boys here. I love your new line of flannel wools and small prints.
What a cute project – and exactly what I need!
thank-you for the chance to win this awesome fabric. Love the puppies!
I love the thread catcher! What a great idea, I am always putting my scraps of threads on my table beside the couch and sometimes forget to pick them up and throw them away each night. I will be making one of these for myself and my mom. Thanks for the project and a chance to win!
Love the quilts @ the fair. So inspiring! Thanks for the recipes and the giveaway!
Love your new fabric line – just bought a lot to go with a panel I have – looks great! Thanks, Kay
Love the thread catcher. Need to make several for all the places I stitch. Can almost smell the cookies baking. Thanks for all your inspiring projects.

Puppies & quilts, what a combo! Enjoyed the post, and the quilt is gorgeous!

Cute puppies! Love your patterns and fabric. Someday hoping to come to your shop. Thanks for the opportunity to win some wool!
Cute project!! Even cuter dogs!! Thanks for the great giveaway!!
I loved your picture from the country fair. Quilts and baking — maybe the best things at the fair. I’ve never entered a quilt, but when I was a teen, I entered a fudge-frosted chocolate layer cake and won a ribbon. Cute thread catcher. Beautiful fabrics!
I love the thread catcher pattern. I can’t wait to make one (or more) and put them to good use!
Too bad you didn’t get to the fair this year, but your photo of the quilts from last year is great. So much creativity in each one, they certainly deserve to be winners. Thanks for the thread catcher pattern. I usually just throw everything on the floor and vacuum it all up when I finish my project.
Oh, Lisa, I love the thread catcher project. Thank you so much for the great giveaways and being a part of the Moda Country Fair! Kd

Love the thread catcher pattern. Also think that one of the pictures on your nightstand is of your 3 boys when they were little. I have the same type of picture on mine, except with 2 girls and 2 boys.
I have several of your patterns and would love to win any of the fabrics to use in making some of them!
Thank you.
would love to visit your shop one day. I always enjoy your booth at Houston Quilt Festival. that thread catcher is great and looks easy…great gift idea.
Primitive Gatherings is one of my favorite online shops to visit. And I do so regularly. I have enjoyed reading about Presley and Jeter. What do they do when you are on the road with teaching and shows? I guess that is none of my business–I was just curious. I love the flannels and the printed muslins–great stuff! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the thread catcher pattern…much better than walking around the house dropping threads off my clothing!
This blog hop has been such fun! Thank you
I’m off to download your threadcatcher pattern!
Thank you Lisa for sharing. I love your pups. I have a 9 yr old Staford Terrier, and she is totally loved! Love your fabric and your cute thread catcher. K in MN
Oh I am so sad the Blog Hop is almost over… I have just recently started quilting and I look so forward to this everyday. I thank you for your little bag pattern, can;t wait to make it. Oh how I wish I would have started quilting long a go, I love it and there just isn’t enough time in the day.
Love your fabric!
Pam
Lisa, I love the new Moda with the antique look.
Beautiful fabric line! I read your blog all the time, not only to look at the beautiful things you make but to hopefully see a picture of the dogs! Love the dogs!
I am actually putting the binding on a quilt made out of your Little Gatherings fabric (still wouldn’t mind more) and it is making me very happy. Can’t wait to see more from you. Your patterns are great and your first couple lines make me want to sew even more!
I love your new line and would love to win one of your give-aways. I make mostly Civil War and Primitive quilts, so you are one of my favorite quilt designers. I”m thrilled that you now have a fabric line.
Love the Thread Catcher!! Thanks for the pattern! Thanks for all the inspiring pictures you put on your blog! Love looking at them!

thanks for the pattern and recipe! thread catcher-brilliant.
Loved your post! That picture of your pups is wonderful. How did you get that one to howl? I scrolled down and saw Jeter and his bee sting. Ouch!
I enjoyed getting to ‘meet’ you in your blog today. I am new to reading the blogs but this bloghop has really gotten me into them. Thank you for the patterns and recipe. I think I will make the cookies very soon.
I hope I win something from you. I need to add it to the stash of kits and fabric I sucked up in your booth LAST year in Des Moines! My bucket list includes Cape Cod and taking my daughter to Paris. Have a good day…thanks, arden

Thanks for the patterns!!! Plan to make the thread catcher for little Christmas gifts by using left over Layer Cake squares.
Cute doggies!! Thanks for the opportunity to win, especially the wool flannel.
Love the thread catchers! My brain is spinning….I’m thinking Christmas Fabrics, perfect ‘packaging’ for small gifts for friends at Christmas celebrations!!! Off to the fabric store………. ๐
Your doggies are so cute!!! Love your creations too!

Really think your project is easy and a great way to use up some smaller pieces of lovable fabric. Hopefully I’ll be able to add some of your lovable fabric into my stash to use in one of your great patterns, so thanks for the giveaway.
Those quilt pictures from the previous fair were really outstanding – thanks for this wonderful opportunity to win and for the generous giveaway. Jeets and Prez are posing so nicely – beautiful dogs. Judy C.
I’m with you about spending a week or a lifetime at a spa. We could relax and stitch. Love your new fabric line.
The quilt is beautiful ! Thank you for the pattern…can’t wait to try my own block ! I’ve never heard of self-frosting cookies…can’t wait to try them too !
Love the thread catcher….I’ve always wanted to make one! Now I have no excuse! I’m anxious to see/feel the flannels. Little Gatherings is a classic to say the least! I’m hoping to meet the dogs when I visit the shop and stay at the retreat house in a couple of weeks. I can hardly wait to get to WI where it is cool! You may be looking forward to coming to Georgia where it is still hot, although cooling off this weekend finally!
i would love to win one of your freebies, and i love the thread catcher…i’m thinking great gifts for Christmas
Cute pair of puppies! Thanks for a chance to win.
Those cookies sound scrumptious. I can’t wait to try them! Thanks for the give-a-way chance.
I really don’t like clipping threads. Maybe once I make one of these cute thread catchers I won’t be so hesitant to clip the little buggers! Thanks for a fun pattern!
Thank you for the pattern. Love your fabric, in fact just bought some a couple of weeks ago, now have to find a great use for it…it was an additional stash builder at this time.
I am picking out fabric now to make the thread catcher. What a wonderful gift to make for a friend. I love the puppies. Thanks for having such a great giveaway. Lynn
Thsnks, those cookies sound wonderful.
I enjoyed your post. Thanks for the project!
That block is so pretty, I’m going to give it a try.
The cookies sound delicious and I love your block. The quilt looks so good – all the collections just seem to go together.
I’m going to make your thread catcher – I’m hoping it attracts the threads because they get everywhere.
Beautiful fabric. I hope I get to be one of those random picks!
Your new fabrics are the “talk” of San Diego!!! Soft and cuddly for sure!!!

A thread catcher! That’s so awesome! Just last night I was stitching and I was telling my husband how I never have a spot for my thread ends (they usually end up on the floor). I am making one of these tonight! Hmmm, maybe I’ll make more than one. I have more than one stitching spot.
Jeets & Prez are adorable…..I love your picture of them. Looks like one of them is singing to you.
Thanks for the project!
Great post, Lisa, you certainly know how to multi-task. You continue to amaze and impress!!!!!!! Love you new fabric line, love your fair pictures, love your wonderful patterns, and most especially love those 2 critters of yours. Thanks for the chance to win. Have a great weekend in DM, Iowa. I have no doubts it will be good.
Thanks for the cute post. It has been quite fun learning a bit about all of you–love the Jason Aldean stuff great choice in music ๐ I just LOVE the little project you did, cute & usuable!
Lisa, I love the thread catcher! And I also love your wool projects! Your a great designer.
Hi Lisa, I LOVE and appreciate all your work ~ and I could put that bundle of YUMMY flannels to good use !!!! Thanks again
Love your patterns and fabrics. Thanks for the recipe and little thread catcher pattern.
Super cute thread catcher! And those flannels look amazing! Great giveaway….
Cute thread catcher – thanks! I have to admit I thought it was to hold the ball of thread to keep it from rolling around. ๐
I actually have some of the wonderful Wisonsin cheeses in my store – maybe I will have to put going to a fall fair in Wisconsin in my bucket list! Love your pictures – in particular that beautiful quilt with the applique medallion and the quilt made from your fabrics. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
thanks for the pattern. a the cookies.
Oh, that is a cute project! I love your fabrics and patterns!
What a cute dog photo–adorable—-thanks for the chance to win the fabric–I love your patterns….
Okay, I would have posted to the blog sooner but I wanted to make a batch of your cookies first. They are chilling now. Thanks for the family fun. And thanks for the giveaway too. I love having all shades of brown and beige in my stash.
Oh how I love your new line! I haven”t decided which quilt to make with, something with lots of stars I think! And the sweet puppies, thank you for the wonderful giveaways!
The quilt display is the only reason I go to the fair! Although this year I wandered through the vendor building and came home with……an Oliso iron! I use it when I make quilts, uh, yeah, so, it sort of relates to going, uh, to the fair to see the, uh, quilts. (There’s a connection there somewhere I’m sure.)
Love your patterns!
Your new line is just the best!!!! Can’t make up my mind which is my favorite so will be making a major investment with Little Gatherings!
Love your patterns already – and now the cute thread catcher, great to make for the dining table at retreat…and fill with candy! I must try those cookies soon, they sound intriguing. Thank you for the chance to win some of your fabrics! They will come in very handy…
Your dogs are sooo cute! And thanks for the pics from your fair,especially the quilt pics! Thanks also for the great giveaways!!
Thanks so much for sharing your cookies and block pattern. Also thanks for the chance to win.
Always need a thread catcher, thanks.
You have the neatest ideas and patterns! Love the Thread Catcher and already in love with the new fabrics!!
Thanks for the giveaway. Love your work.
Thanks for the giveaway. Give the boys a hug.
Thanks very much for participating in this fabulous hop. Your puppies are adorable. Thanks as well for the great thread catcher pattern.
Love your blog & thanks for the free pattern for the thread catcher! Hope to sew one together this wknd. Jeter and Presley are adorable!
The thread catcher will work great for my knitting projects, too. I created several piles of snippets last night, working on an afghan for my soon-to-be grandaughter.
Love your pattern. It’s a great pattern to make for friends. I check you blog frequently and really enjoy all that you do.
Still trying to leave a comment. Perhaps it was saying that I had already made and eaten some of the cookies that keeps me in moderation!
Lovely pictures of the fair. Hope to win some fabric of your new line!!!!!
I love that threadcatcher! So cute!
Hi! Your puppies are sooo cute. They look so happy. Really like yor project too and it’s something we all need and much better looking than a paper bag – ESP at a class or retreat. Cute. I looked at the receipe and it sounds real yummy so maybe I can talk my daughter into making some as I don’t cook anymore. Thank you very much for the project, receipe, the pattern to your Moda block and a chance to win some wonderful fabric.
Love your fabric, your blog, your doggies, and your giveaway, not necessarily in that order. Thank you for the free pattern. Brenda
The quilt is beautiful. It looks like the dog on the right is singing. How cute.
Peggy
Your little dogs are truly handsome dudes!
thanks for the block pattern , I have been thinking of making a quilt with many different starlike blocks
It’s so nice to visit your blog! I discovered your beautiful fabrics just a while ago. Yesterday someone showed me your lovely flanel fat quarter bundle. I wouldn’t mind winning that ๐
You have many fans here in the Netherlands!!
love,
Christine S.
Love your fabrics so much. They go wonderfully with my ‘style’ of quilts. Hope it’s my lucky day and I can add to my stash.
Can’t wait to make the thread catcher! Love your patterns and fabrics!
I enjoyed your fair post! Thanks for the recipes and great patterns, too.
I love your threadcatcher. It is so very different from any other that I have seen before ๐ Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for the pattern. Like your doggies too.
I’ve been to your shop a couple times and visited your booths whenever possible. Great shop, Great booth! It would be so cool to win your give away! Laura JB
Love the little gatherings line and boy do I need to make the thread catcher. Do you think it will catch all the little pieces that end up on my shirt and pants too? LOL
Love your creativity and everything about Primitive Gatherings. We’ll see you in Houston in a few weeks
Love to read your blogs and check everyday to see if there are new additions. Anxious to see your booth in Houston (my hometown) Thanks for all your beautiful wools and patterns
Your quilts are beautiful. I enjoyed your website.
I’m jealuous that you are inn Des Moines and I’m not!
Love your post! And your blog and website, too ๐
Blessings, Patti
Enjoyed the stroll through your blog. Thanks for the recipe (I will try it but must admit I have never heard of powder sugar on oatmeal cookies before) and the patterns. I will utilize those as well.
Susan
Your little thread catchers are so cute! And who wouldn’t LOVE some of your fabrics!
I loveyour store,your blog, and your ideas. I recently bouught in Madison at the Expo. I still use your tips and tricks for appliqueing wool. Great job. Keep up the good stufff.
Love the pics of the pups and the finished quilt
I’d love to be included for the Moda giveaway, and i’ve enjoyed the blog hop so far. (Unfortunately, I couldn’t read any of the purple answers on gray background)
Love the doggy pic; the one looks like he’s singing! Fried cheese, massages, and quilts…my kind of wishes :). Thanks for the pattern and the fun blog
Thanks for the giveaway — I was born in Milwaukee but now life in California. Love your fabrics and would be so happy if I’m a lucky winner. Thanks for the pattern too — I need to make one for myself and my sister who is a quilter also.
Love the threadcatcher pattern and your blog. The picture of your fur babies is adorable. They are so cute! Thanks for the chance to win.
Lovely project! Thanks for the post.It is great fun to blog hop!
Gorgeous Quilt. I like the colors and block designs. Thanks for the chance to visit your blog and learn more about you. Of course, the giveaway is great too.
I love the pattern, recipe, blog, fabric line and everything….I am a great CA fan of yours….looking forward to your trip to Yuba City….can’t wait !! I got to visit your shop this summer while visiting new twins.
Thanks for the pattern and the chance to win!
The thread catcher is so sweet as are all the youngun’s! Love the quilt on your header!
I love your new fabric line and would love a chance to win. Thanks for the give away.
What a fun post. I’m hungry, I want to quilt and now I want a puppy….smilo. I can’t really read what I’m typing with these pale letters so I hope it comes out okay.
What terrific quilts! Thanks for sharing them. My fingers are crossed.
Love the pictures of the quilts at the fair, definitely would love to meet all the food that one the ribbons in the showcase. Never had fried cheese, might have to try that next. Thank You for the threatcatcher pattern, the block and the recipe. I wonder if those frosted oatmeal cookies are as good as the fried cheese.
That’s a great thread catcher. I’ve never seen one like that and really like this one because it sits on the table. The others have always had the part hanging over the table and those I am always knocking onto the floor. This is wonderful. Thank you. Those cookies look very interesting with a name like ‘self frosting’. That sounds awesome in my book.
I LOVE those two puppies in the picture. Such an adorable pair of cute little faces.
And oh my gosh, all those quilts at the top of your post are beautiful. Wonderful job on those.
Thank you for the great tutorial and recipe.
Thank you for the pattern & recipe, (yum). I love your patterns, wool, & books (thanks for the bonus recipes, I’ve tried them). Thank you for the chance to win some wonderful fabric!
Very nice post. Enjoyed your photos…
Would love to win one of your giveaways – Love the primitive gatherings patterns.
I’m just starting to work with wool and love it!
Thanks for the thread catcher pattern! I’m going to make some of those for friends for little Christmas gifts, I think.
Can’t wait to get to the store sometime soon!

LOVE all things PG …lol! I’ve never been disappointed in any of my PG kits or BOM’s, I could be your number 1 ‘online shopper’ fan in the UK …lol!!
The threadcatcher bag is soooo sweet, I’m thinking of making it in wool… PG wools naturally ..hahaha ๐
Woolly Hugs,
Wendy xox
I love these opportunities to learn more about our fellow quilters and have a giggle and a chuckle when a nerve is twanged cos we really have a lot in common. I had to work hard to read your answers (cunning, I tucked that away for use) cos they were written in a similiar tone. Your dogs have the prettiest faces, looked like one was singing along too. I bet they love to sing with you. Thank-you for the biscuits with oil rather than butter (My DH has cholesterol issues and I wanted a recipe for his lunches…that is an answer to prayer, right there.) Thanks for taking me on a neat trip to visit your life,I appreciate your hospitality and had fun here. Keep making beautiful quilts…
I keep hearing about fried cheese- when I get to the States I’m going to have some of this, it sounds delicious!
The thread catcher is seriously cute, thank you for the pattern. And making those cookies sounds doable for me, I like the idea of oil and not butter in cookies- they must be healthy!
This is not another comment but just to apologise because my email address on the previous comment was wrong. It is now the correct address.
I totally loved your post and enjoyed learning a little about you, thanks for the insights and the pretty faces of your dogs, thanks also for the cookie recipe i needed one without butter, that is a blessing right there. Keep making beautiful things…
Beautiful photos. thanks for the great blog tour stop. have a great week.
I love how you have arranged your post. Your thread catcher is lovely too.
I like your site. just bookmarked it for further viewing.
What a perfect pattern as I am going on a quilting retreat next weekend and I need to make a thread catcher. Thank you! Your post and pics were great
Thank you so much for offering such great patterns & wools. I am new to wool applique and am truly hooked on your great pattens & kits! I can’t wait to see what is next!
Ahhh the fair. We actually got Styx and REO Speedwagon here. That was pretty good for Plymouth, Wisconsin! Great post, Lisa!
I would love a chance to win some wonderful goodies :o) See you in the shop this fall!
I was thrilled to see The Titanic to be one of your favorite movies! My 14 and 10 year old grandchildren pick that movie to watch when they stay with me…they both know the entire script! I love it! Our fair is going on right now here in Yakima, Washington. Sad to say I haven’t been for so many years…I was told about an absolute beautiful quilt at the fair made by and 18 year old boy…it was his senior project. I hope my friends take a picture of it. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how I wished I lived closer ….we need a quilt shop here in Yakima just like your awesome shop…..visiting your quilt shop is definitely on my bucket list!!!!
I love the thread catcher. My mind is wandering โ what else could it be used for? The cookies sound yummy. Thanks for the chance to win some fabric.
love all the pics of the quilts at the fair!!! Thanks for the thread catcher pattern–great quick gift for my quilting friends!
Carolyn
Your dogs are so cute. I love the Little Tread Catcher. Thanks for the pattern.
Absolutely love your new line of fabric!
Thanks so much for the recipe and block and thread catcher patterns. Enjoyed your fair post and other things on your blog. The red and white flannel make in a day quilt caught my attention. Love flannel lap quilts to curl up with a good book. I’m looking forward to your new flannel collection. Appreciate the chance to win one of your prizes. Best regards, Judy
Enjoyed your fair blog and photos. That thread catcher is a great little pattern, and would make nice gifts also.
Am new at wool applique, so any of your giveaway items would be more than welcome here at my house lol.
I enjoy your website very much, and took a quick liking to the Valdani threads.
Wish I could be there to enjoy the opening of your new shop. Congratulations. Nancy
Love the thread catcher. Thank you for the pattern.
Thanks for the “Thread catcher”…that’s exactly what I was looking for. Also, I really like the quilt square. Looks easy enough to do with some of my free time between sewing and all my other activities.
Poor puppy….glad the neighbor had some meds. seconf pic was much better ๐
Thanks for all you do and know that I appreciate all you do for us……Pati Akers
I love the little thread catcher.
Love the quilt as I do all of your stuff. I am looking forward to seeing your shop in person this fall. I will be shop hopping thru IN, IL, and Wisconsin Oct. 15-20th.
Your thread catcher is great and the cookies sound yummy. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
thank you for the thread catcher pattern. I can’t wait to try your new fabrics; I’ve used the muslins in 2 of my quilts and love them. It was great to see you at Feather Princesses in Tampa; hope you come again soon.
Those quilts are so pretty. I love your thread catcher! So cute. Thank you for the chance to win!
Hahaha! “How many quilts have you made? Lots, but not enough.” That just cracks me up because it is SO. TRUE! And all of those quilts in that first picture are just lovely. I adore the chicken quilt! It would be perfect for my kitchen…. ๐
oh yeh, there is always more room for some yummy fabric bundles. My loot is big, but I just love me some more fabric.
Love your Little Gatherings line and looking forward to seeing the next new line.
Your block is lovely – such a beautiful quilt everyone put together. Must try your cookie recipe. Thanks so much.
Little Gatherings is my favorite fabric, I can think of so many quilts to make with it. Love the photo of your pets.
I absolutely LOVE Primitive Gatherings muslin and the adorable Little Gatherings prints! They are perfect things to just have on hand when inspiration strikes. Your thread catcher might be a olittle gift for all my sewing friends this Christmas. Thanks for such a cute project.
I love the idea of having a place for thread rather than just all over the floor. Thanks for the pattern.
I would love to win some of your beautiful fabric!
I love our local fall fair – I know all the ladies who enter quilts!
The Little Gatherings line just came into my LQS – I bought the charm pack so that I could decide which ones I liked best but it’s too hard – I like them all! Thanks for the little thread catcher pattern and the giveaway!
Cute thread catcher!!! I’m a BIG fan of your patterns and your love your new fabric line. Sure wish I lived closer to your shop…(But my husband is thankful we don’t for some reason!!!) Anyway keep those patterns coming!
I really like the fabric! But I really love those cute dogs! LOL ! Seriously, though, I would love to win the fabric, it is beautiful. And the thread catcher is really neat. It could very well end up being a Christmas stocking stuffer for a couple of people I know. Thanks for the pattern.
loved the pictures – thanks for a chance to win – laurie
Love your fabrics and wools – such inspiration! I would love to win anything but will definitely come by to see your booth in Houston. Thanks for the chance to win!

Thank you for the opportunity to be able to enter and maybe win.
Love the expressive looks on the puppies faces!! They are great! Thanks for the thread catcher pattern, that will be very handy!!
I love the thread catcher. It is too cute to use for thread. I like the candy idea – maybe nuts would be good for fall. Buttons for a quilted project.
Your dogs are so cute! The thread catcher is a great project. Thank you for the chance to win.
Love the pics of Jetter and Pressly. Saw you in DM today and of course spent too much at your booth.
Janet

I like your fair pictures, especially the quilt one. ๐ Thank you for the opportunity to win some fabric.
Thanks for the recipe! I’ve recently developed a milk allergy, and it was great to see a recipe for oatmeal cookies that didn’t include butter or other dairy! Wonder which oil you use in it… Hope to win some of your fabric…bet the Little Gatherings would be great for dresses for small dolls!
What a great craft item! I think I will make some for our quilt club’s annual Christmas party!!
Oh my gosh, Lisa – you’re a girl after my own heart! Loved the pics of the county fair … the quilts were beautiful and the food looked yummy! Loved your cute dogs – Jeets and Presley; we have Bichons Abby and Emmy. Your thread catcher would be wonderful to use and also make as a gift. Thanks tons for sponsoring the absolutely wonderful Primitive Gatherings fabric giveaway. A friend showed me a charm pack of Primitive Gatherings and I fell in love with it.
Thanks for the insight into you, and the pictures of the fairs. This is so much fun! Cute idea for the catcher, too.

Your puppies are so cute! I love your thread catcher. It’s so different and unique. Thank you for the pattern as I want to make some of these. Thank you for such a wonderful blog.
I love the display of quilts for the fair! it looks like they have them in glass and I recognize some of the quilts Maggie Walkers Country Journal, Vintage Valentine! yum
Now I have never had fried cheese it would be interesting, and I think I just added massages to my list…
Thanks for your time
Thank you for sharing the pattern with us..I also like watching Pretty Woman, it’s one of those movies that you can watch over and over..lovely photos- one thing that intrigues me though is what fried cheese is like….
This fair blog has been fun, I had a problem reading some of yours tho, the purple/pink on the dark background was hard for “older” eyes to see.
Awww, what cute names for your pets. So original! Thanks for the cookie recipe; I’ve printed it out to try this weekend. And the pattern for the thread catcher will make a sweet gift for a few of my friends who sew. Looking forward to more of your blog and hopefully a bundle of your fabrics.
Amanda T.
It was great visiting with you at the quilt show today. The show seemed smaller this year but I still had a wonderful time with my friends. Thanks for the cute thread catcher pattern and cookie recipe. I know I really enjoyed the chocolate chip recipe you had shared earlier this year. Have a great weekend and a safe trip home. Thanks, Karen M from Omaha
Love, love, love your choice of Jeets. We’re thinking of naming our next kitten “Jorge” after dear Jorge Posada. Thank you for a wonderful giveaway.

I was at the AQS show in Des Moines this week. Your booth is always wonderful. I did manager to find a thing or two (more like 10+) to take home with me. Your samples or very inspirational! Love the new fabrics!
Love your pattern!
Enjoyed your contribution to the blog hop — your fabrics are lovely. I am going to make your little project — it would be perfect for taking to my friendship group each week. I’m usually working on an applique project, and always end up with a little pile of threads — this is a great solution — thanks!
The hop has been great…. fried cheese – love it!! Thanks for offering up great treats!
Love your dogs, they are cute. Thanks for the thread catcher pattern and the oatmeal cookie recipe. I love oatmeal cookies that is one of my guilty pleasures. Thanks!
I am looking forward to making the oatmeal cookies. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I had a wonderful time shopping at your booth at the Quilt Expo in WI. You are a real inspiration. My husband loves your quilts and wool projects too.
Love your wool and needles!
Just schedule it! I have the same guilty pleasure on a monthly basis! It’s wonderful! See ya tomorrow at AQS booth. I enjoyed our visit last year.
It was great seeing you today – I love all of your stuff! Can’t wait to start on my “Summertime” kit!

Hi, and thanks for the cookie recipe. The threadcatcher is so cute and unusual.
I enjoyed the pictures of the quilts – particularly the one with chickens.
Thanks for the chance to win. This blog hop has been a lot of fun.
Great picture of your dogs, too. I love dogs – mine is a Tibetan spaniel X . her name is Honeybunny, she is very fluffy! ๐
Hi Lisa
I loved coming to your retreat house last month. We throughly enjoyed ourselves. It’s probably a good thing we are so far away, otherwise I could do some serious damage to my credit card at your shop. Helen
I just love your dogs…………I love most dogs. Then there is the fabric addiction!! I am just starting to understand and love flannel. Which ever you think would make a nice addition to my stash I would gladly welcome into my home. Your fair place looks like the one we had before the racetrack bought the land and it moved to a bigger better (uhuh ?) place.
Thank you fro taking the time to participate in this giveaway
I tried to comment last night and something isn’t working for me. I’ll try today………love your pup’s. Thank you for doing the Country Fair Hop!
Your pictures remind me of the fair I went to this summer – complete with goats, sheep and 100 chickens! Love the thread catcher, and the luscious fabrics!
Love your fabrics and patterns. Thanks for the cookie recipe and the chance to win a great prize.
Love your project! thanks for sharing
Dorothy in IL
Love your fabric and your shop!!! Had been wanting to get to your shop for a long time and finally made it this past June. Yeah! Also enjoy your website and blog. ๐
Love your fabric and your shop!!! Had been wanting to get to your shop for a long time (it was on my bucket list) and finally made it this past June. Yeah! Also enjoy your website and blog. ๐
Great Blogging! Awesome photos! Sooo sorry about Jeter. He looked horrid. Bet he felt worse than horrid. Glad he’s better….it’s pretty scary when something like that happens and they can’t tell us what it was. Thanks for a chance to win a giveaway. Have a great weekend!
Love the little thread catcher , so sweet. Thanks for a chance at the treats, too!
The quilts are gorgeous, I’m so jealous of all you ladies that have country fairs!
Thank you for the pattern. I need to make myself a thread catcher. Sometimes, I am too lazy to get the waste basket.
Lisa, thanks so much for the thread catcher pattern! They will make a perfect little gift for a few friends and family members! And the oatmeal cookies are on my to do list for tomorrow. I always enjoy your blog. Keep the posts coming!
Thanks for the thread catcher pattern and cookie recipe, can’t wait to make them both!
That is the cutest picture of Jeter and Presley you’ve posted yet!! Can’t wait to see the new goodies coming up for fall market!
I alway enjoy seeing and visiting with you at Long Beach, CA. Can’t wait until next year.
Can’t wait to make the thread catcher! I have been using an old margarine tube with a hole cut in it’s top….gee whiz, do I sound cheap! But I am married to the King of Recycling and he would have a heart attack if I tossed that into the garbage (we have limited recycling where we live). So I will make your pretty one and he can inherit the old one! Thanks for the pattern!
No more threads on the floor! Whoo-hoo. Thanks for the chance to win.
Gotta love a good tractor pull! Thanks for the free pattern. ๐
Thanks for being a part of the fun blog tour. And thanks for the very generous giveaways.
Lisa, please ensure your dogs are kept securely behind a fence, because if I EVER get to the states, those 2 will be coming home with ME! LOL (such cute doggies)
I might go make one of those thread catcher’s this afternoon, I think it could be good to keep all my loose buttons in too.
Thanks for the ‘tour’ & pattern, Tania.
Love your blog and your most recent Moda collection Thank you for the contest
Thanks for the generous giveaway and the project.
Like you we did not make it to the fair this year. Our granddaughters entered their bunnies in the fair and took best of show they were so excited. I love the thread catcher if you’re going to have to dicard thread it should be in something stylish!!!
Love your stuff! This blog hop has been so special and I’m loving it. Thank you for such a generous giveaway. Fingers crossed.
I love the quilt display.
I can’t wait to try the oatmeal cookie (my favorite) recipe. Thanks for the giveaway!
Dear Lisa: I have always admired your designs! thanks so much for the free patterns/projects/recipe. I really like your block too. Have a great end of the year and holiday season!
Great post, thanks so much for the give-away.
I love that quilt and your dogs are far to cute! Thanks for a very generous giveaway. Linda
I got to see lots of famous country stars for free by ushering at the county fair. I love the smells, sounds and exhibits. Of course, we’d always go home feeling gritty because our fair grounds weren’t paved. Thanks for the the cute thread catcher pattern. I’ve never seen one like it.
Love your fabrics and will be visiting your shop next week! groetjes from the netherlands
I love those three movies too! The thread catcher is such a genius idea, I’m surely going to make my own for all those little threads that end up all over the place. Thanks for the project and the giveaway! Cristina
Thanks for the free pattern and I love your wool & flannels something I haven’t tried yet!
I love that thread catcher! And the cookie recipe looks great–can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the giveaways–I hope I am one of the 12!!

Thank you for the thread catcher pattern. I needed something new for our next quilt show. I love your site and patterns.
What a great thread catcher,I know what I’m making tomorrow. Thank-you for the great pattern and the giveaway.
Thank you for the pattern. Enjoyed your fair post, brought back good memories. I enjoy reading your blog and seeing all the places you travel and the items you make. Thanks for all you do.
I love your fabrics!
Thanks for offering a giveaway.
Thank-you for the thread cattcher pattern. Hope I win some of your fabric. I love all of it.
Love your website and your blog!
Lovin the new wool and flannels. Colors and feel of them are wonderful. My quilt shop loved me when I got half yards of each of the new printed muslins. Probably like me again for the flannels. Been hoping you would share the thread catcher pattern. Thanks!
Wanted : fabric for a few good projects.
Starting with the thread catcher. It will make great quick gifts for my quiilting friends.
I always look for your booth at the Des Moines quilt show. It is always crowded – but worth it.
Thanks for sharing! I love the thread catcher pattern and think it will be very handy to put all those thread ends instead of on my table where my boys can reach them!! Enjoyed reading your blog!
Thanks for sharing the pattern for the cute little thread catcher. Great idea. I’d love the chance to win some of your great fabric. I’ve already pieced and quilted the pattern “45 and Life to Go” as a store sample at the Fig Leaf in Fort Collins, Co, but would love more to play with. Love your designs.
You always have the greatest designs. Thanks for the pattern!!!! I really need help with all my thread ends
Thanks for the thread catcher pattern; I am forever walking around with bits of thread on me. Perhaps this will cut down on how many threads tag along.
I have been watching for this thread catcher pattern since you mentioned it at the Feather Princess’ s meeting in Tampa. Thanks Lisa – Carol
great looking quilts!
Thanks for the cute tread catcher pattern. My Mom will love one for now and a surprise for her stocking at Christmas. Jason Aldean… nothing more to say but…what a hunk! and he can sing. Would love to win your beautiful flannels. Thanks

I need a thread catcher! Thread usually ends up all over me =)
Thank you for the cute pattern.
Lovely collection of quilts. Thanks for the thread catcher pattern, it is unusual and nice.
Hi Lisa – love your new fabric line – was in your shop yesterday checking them out – need to figure yardage and I’ll be back to pick some up – esp like 1041 17 – that deeper tan is way too cool. I did mange to pick up fabric for other projects underway – my DPQs (dreamed planned quilts) are definitely getting out-of-hand. The Moda blog list is wonderful but I find myself shooting through an hour just like that looking at all these designers and their blogs, patterns etc. The sun is finaly out so need to decorate the yard with mums and pumpkins. Thanks for all your inspiration and I love fairs too, esp the state fair.
Love the thread catcher. I think it will be under the tree this year for my favorite sewing buds !! I also love your line of flannels and need more (I have some but want lots more !!!)
I made the thread catcher yesterday, with wool applique buttons, it’s too cute! Thank you for the pattern. Your ideas and website are just wonderful (not to mention the recipes!) The close-up photos and instructions included in your blogs are very helpful. Best wishes for a happy fall!
Cute pups! I love your fabric and your designs! Thanks for sharing!
THANKS for sharing!! I LOVE your thread catcher idea and your fabrics!! THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL and the colors are GREAT!! =) Have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!! =)
Fried cheese, yummmmm. Thanks for the giveaway! j-j-s AT juno DOT com
Love the quilt everyone worked on. It’s beautiful. One of these days I hope to visit your shop as I’m on West Coast. One of my ‘bucket’ list items!
I sure hope that is Prez singing and not Jeter!!!!!! hahaha Of course Derek Jeter could be great….who knows!!!!!
Thanks for the thread catcher pattern. I like to sit and watch TV while I’m stitching and this little catcher will be just perfect.
I have the thread catcher on my list of things to do today – what a fun pattern–Thank you for sharing it, and thankyou for the opportunity to enter your draw!
I will be making a few thread cathers. Thank you for the pattern. The collectivequilt is beautiful. You ladies are sooo talented.
I love all your pictures! Everything that is best about the fair!
In the excitement of creating, i like to let my threads fall where they may and sweep up afterwards, but your threadcatcher is so cute I decided to make one to keep in the family room to collect all the needles and pins and spools that seem to turn up there.
Thanks, Lisa, for all the wonderful designs you create and for all the inspiration.
Michele

Hey Lisa,
I have been reading your blog for some time, but didn’t realize your shop is close to Mt Calvary where my brother is a Spanish teacher at St. Lawrence Seminary. (I live in NC) I can’t believe I didn’t get a map out to see how close you are to St. Lawrence. On my next visit to The Hill I will be sure to come over to your shop. I love the wool projects you have to offer. You have such a great design sense.
love your fabrics!

I love the thread catcher… I need about a half dozen of them! One for my cutting table, one for my sewing machine, one for my crochet/knitting/embroidery bag and one for next to the sofa (mostly for when I’m doing one of those activities infront of the TV).
Just love your new fabrics, so much that I bought many pieces of it. Enjoyed our visit at AQS Des Moines. Love to win more of your fabric!!! See ya at another show…Julee

Hi Lisa, Thank you for the chance to win your fabric give away. I had a wool class with you in July, shopped at your booth at the quilt show in Madison and came back to your shop in Sept. I guess I can’t get enough of your wool and kits (I love ’em). I’m getting a nice stash. ๐ Safe travels, Debby
I have needed a little thread catcher by my ironing board forever–this looks just right. Thanks for the pattern! I love the County Fair and have not missed one in 26 years. This year I entered four quilted projects and won two second place ribbons and two Honorable Mentions, which was fun ๐ I would love to be one of the lucky winners of gorgeous flannel!
This is my first visit to your site. Very interesting. Would like to start working w/wool. The designs are so cute. Thanks for the chance to win some nice things.

Thanks for the handy catcher. Love the photo of those pups- so darn cute.
Love the thread catcher, need to make one of those as I always have threads on the floor… I also read the post about your little baby getting stung by a bee.. poor little thing… My little Maltese looks that way when she gets her distemper shot… we get down the road and she starts to swell… I know this is terrible, but I laugh at her she looks so cute all puffy…Now the vet gives her Benadryl shot right after her yearly shots..
Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to try your project!
the cookies are actually pretty good!!!! love the project, freebies would make great gifts!!!
Love your new fabric lines! They are darling!
Please enter me in this wonderful give~away! Thanks so much!

Really like the quilt put together with the blocks. Been fun doing the blog hop. Love your products, and colors are to die for. Just my style. Thanks. Planning on trying the cookie recipe today.
I also love fairs & head straight for the needlework displays first thing. My husband is always so accomodating with this & goes with me. We have a very small fair here; my very favorite was the Indiana state fair in Indianapolis (when we lived in Indiana)….so many beautiful quilts & needlework of all kinds. And, we enjoyed having lamb burgers….so good with fresh lamb.
Love the thread catcher pattern. Thanks for sharing your great ideas!
That is the cutest picture of your dogs!

Love your attitude Lisa and work – always neat stuff. Many thanks –
I wrote to the asking if I could BUY the pattern, and this is the response I got: “It was a one day item on the blog. Sorry you missed it. Sincerely, Judy P”. Oh Well!
Thank you Shelley for an answer. I’m sorry I missed the pattern, it was really cute.
Cheryl, I was on this blog on “her” day and I did not see the pattern for the thread catcher then either.
Cheryl…my thread catcher is posted again for you to print…just click the underlined words thread cather and it will open for you to print…i am assuming you did not do this… as it was posted on “her” day and many people printed it. LB
