In honor of Mother's day this coming weekend, I wanted to give a shout out to my mom, Laurie. She has always been my very best girlfriend, although now that I have my spunky little girl there is a bit of competition. She has always been a great listener, whether it was talking about boys at recess, friends in high school, or now my own kids, she is always willing to listen. She always made an effort to be at all my dance recitals and cheerleading competitions while growing up. She never misses a birthday or holiday for me, my husband or our 4 kids. She was even at my bedside when I woke up in the ICU on the same day that she had surgery to have her breast cancer removed. She does all of this times 7! Seven of us kids have been blessed enough to get to have her as a mom. She truly is so amazing.

| Since this picture, we've added 4 new baby girls, one son in law and one daughter in law. |
I absolutely love being a mom and can't imagine my life any other way but being a mom isn't always easy, we don't often put our wants before our kids and sometimes it's fun to have something that's just for us, so I thought it would be fun to do a little giveaway for all you moms, aunts, sisters, and women!
I couldn't decide which fabric line I liked better, so I just got them both. We all do this, right? So you get to decide which bundle is your favorite plus we will give you a gift certificate up to $100 for long arm quilting!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 340 of 340I live far away from my mom, so I love it when she sends me pictures of what she's up to. I gave her an iPad and I'm also glad I wasn't there to teach her how to use it ;) Thanks for the chance to win!
I love my mom's sense of humor!
I love my mom because she's my mom. :) Simple as that.
I am following via Bloglovin'
I love that my mom is proud of things I make, no matter what :)
and I'm a follower through bloglovin :)
There are so very many things I love about being a mommy... I was 37 and spent 15 years as a nanny, before I had my sweet, sassy, smart, strong, splendiferous daughter. The best thing is, at the end of the day, she's mine. I don't have to give her back. I'll never leave her. (And after all the families I've nannied for and kids I've loved and invested in, let me tell you, that's no small thing!) I am blessed and oh so very, very grateful!!
I love everything about being a mom, I loved the newborn stage where I was their entire world, I love as they've grown how excited they are to show me things, and how much they want to just be with me. I worry a little about how hard it's going to be when they're teens and don't want to hang out with me all of the time, but I know whatever comes I'll navigate it, and probably love it too.
Being a mum is all I ever really wanted to be and my kids amaze me everyday!
As a Mom, I love the challenges that my boys present me with each year...it only gets bigger and better.
I lost my mom six years ago and I miss her so much, she was my biggest fan!
I love being a mom and writing down all the crazy, cute things they say when they're little.
I love the chickens fabric!
I love the animal bundle, thanks for the chance!
My mom doesn't live nearby, but I love the fact that she accepts my choices and never tries to pressure me into doing things another way :)
I love being a mom for all of the sticky kisses and hugs.
I love being a mom because my kids say the funniest things, it's amazing what their little brains think up
when my boys come to my bed early in the morning to snuggle.
:)
thank you for the giveaway!
I love my mom's strength, humour, patience, resilience... i could go on forever! She's my best friend and i strive to be as good of a mom to my boys as she is to me!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love that my mom is generous with everything she has!
thanks for the giveaway--unfortunately my mom has been gone a few years, but I love being a mom to my daughter(we are good friends) and grandma to her daughter (the one thing better than being a mom is being a grandma)

I love how encouraging and supportive my mama is. How I always feel she will have my back and tell me the truth, even if I don't want to hear it. I love that she laughs with her children and has always given us such wonderful memories. I am grateful that she is a great friend to me, but a mom first. I am a brand new mama and my favorite part so far has just been staring at my little guy and daily marveling at the miracle of such a sweet baby
She's my best friend :-)
I love the Type-bundle!

Being a mum to my children has its ups and downs - no one ever mentioned how hard it can be, but I do love it and them especially when they come and sit and talk to me about their day. Loving the type bundle - thanks for the giveaway
I love my mom because she doesn't rub it in when I finally do what she said and she was right all along. :)
Also a new follower on Bloglovin!
thanks for the chance!!! My favorite part of being a mom is the never ending love I get from my kids.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the type bundle

She's so supportive and caring!! She keeps me relaxed when I feel stressed about things in life!
Thank you for the opportunity! I love locally grown!!

I love that my mom loves crafts, and that she showed me. I can thank my mom for my love of knitting, sewing, crocheting.
I'm also a follower on bloglovin.
I love EVERYTHING about my cute little Mum. I wish I didn't live half a world away from her, that's for sure. But I'm grateful for Skype, just seeing her sweet face makes my day. We send fabrics to each other all year, so that it feels a little like we're sewing together :)
I love being a mom. But now, I really love being a grandma. It's so much easier. You get all the loving and not too many of the hard things like discipline. Both fabric bundles are cute!
Just signed up to follow you on bloglovin'.
I have had my eye on type-it is so cute. My mom was my best friend and now I think my daughter is. I was blessed to have a daughter to carry on this tradition.
I am now following you on bloglovin. I am not lovin it so much though because I cannot comment on many of the blogs through them.
I love that my mom is so creative and she's a great cook and passed those traits onto me.
I love that my mom is so creative and she's a great cook and passed those traits onto me.
I love it when a toddler first calls you mom and you are the most important person in the room to them. Thanks for chance to win.
The best part about being a mom today at this very moment would be the fact that my 3 year old is just bursting with a surprise she has made for me in pre-school. She can barely contain herself, she wants to tell me about it so bad. It's so cute! I love all the spray painted macaroni presents I get from my two little ones.
PS: Logan is an awesome name - mainly because it's the name of my 6 yr old. Yay! :D
I love how special my wedding will be because of all the help my mom's given me!
I can share my "awesome thing that happened this week" story.
Earlier this week, I sent my girls (6 and 4) to take up the diaper pail bag to the garbage. When they came back in, they each had a huge handful of bluebells they had picked for me just because they love me! Its things like this that make me love being a mom.
I would choose Type from Windham fabrics
I love being a mom and now I love being a grandmother. Families are everything. I also have a wonderful mom who taught us well.
I am a new follower.
My mom is the best mom ever. She's an awesome listener, always has good advice and is an amazing "Ama" to my three kids.
Seeing my little girl grow so fast... it is amazing. And those fabrics. Wow who could choose?
Seeing my little girl grow so fast... it is amazing. And those fabrics. Wow who could choose?
I love my mom because she's always been willing to go above and beyond to be there for me, and she still is.
I love my mom's sweet spirit. So quiet, yet powerful. Her gentleness is so great. She would walk through fire for me, but she would stand firm when I disobeyed...I love her!
As a mom, I love baby giggles - or any age giggles for that matter.
And I can't decide which fabric I like better - both lines are great!
The best thing about being a mum for me is watching them grew and learn and become their own people. I love both packs of fabric equally! :)
I also follow via blog lovin.
I love my Mom because she has a great can do attitude. I hope that I can be the can do Mom for my kids. Great post and thanks for the chance.
I can call my mom anytime, day or night
That TYPE is pretty darned awesome! What I love most about being a mom is that i am no longer self-centered. Being a mom makes you think in a thousand different directions about helping someone else. cynsaw2(at)yahoo(dot)ca
My mom accepts all of her children for who we are no matter what and believe me we are all different in many ways.
my mom to me is a strong individual who gives support to her children in what we put our hands to do, as long as its safe,sane and something we really want.
AAAAH I LOVE those fabrics!!! Thanks for offering them up! My favorite thing about being a mom (so far, he's only 20 months old, so I'm sure this will change as he gets older or as we have more) watching him learn and grow every day. Or the way he randomly runs up to me and hugs me and runs off giggling. :)
And Followed!
I love my mom for being such a creative inspiration- she does everything - sewing, knitting, gardening, cooking- and amazingly well. I LOVE the Type bundle- so cute!
I'm a new follower on Bloglovin'!
What I love about being a mom is a shout-out for my husband, who let me quit my job and stay home with our now-three boys. I love everything about it. Every single day. Almost all the moments. I like being here to see it. I may not remember what happened, but I'll always remember it has been amazing. Thanks for this giveaway! I do love the Type, but the Andover line is very cute too.
I follow via my reader. Thank you again!
I like all the smiles and spontaneous giggles I get from my kids. And I love that they are always teaching me new things. Thanks for the great giveaway. Have a great Mother's Day.
My son turned 4 last weekend and is at a lovely age, he'll come up and give me a cuddle and a kiss just because, and it's the best feeling ever. I must remember to do that to my mum too!
Definitely the unconditional love....mothers are so good at that.
I love waking up each morning and seeing my kids faces as they are all sleepy and warm from their own sleep. There is nothing more lovely.
I would love the Type bundle.
Thanks for the chance to win.
My mom was a wonderful reader and she passed her love of reading on to my brother and to me.
I love her faith! She's so inspiring! She's such a strong woman without being out spoken or harsh.

Wonderful fabric!! (Both selections are fantastic but the chickens really got me....)
Thanks for the giveaway!
There's nothing that even comes close to being a mom.
There are no words to adequately describe the feeling or the gratitude that comes with it.
My own mother died many years ago when I was just a little girl. Now i'm a mom myself and after all those years I still miss her every day. especially with nr. 2 underway it's even gets harder.
But I love being a mom! especially when I walk into my sons room in the morning and he is smiling in his cot and shouting mama!
I love that my mom is supportive of everything I do.
I love my mum for too many reasons to list. We've always had a great relationship and I cherish it. Having daughters was always my wish so I could have the same sort of relationship from the other side of the equation. Watching my girls develop into young ladies is the most amazing thing.
Thanks so much for the chance to win. I love both bundles but if push came to shove and I had to choose I think I would go with the Locally Grown.
My mum never judges and is always there. (Type)
Being a mother can be tough, but as the mom of two twenty-something girls, it is THE BEST thing in the world. I love reminiscing with them about their childhood and now, relating to them as adults. About those fabric bundles: I have Type, but have been eyeing Locally Grown for quite sometime. So cute. Locally Grown would be welcomed in my stash.
I now follow you via Bloglovin'.
My mom is always there for me. doing laundry, helping with the kids whatever I need. Thanks. Love these fabrics
I love being a mom! My kids are a lot of fun and I learn so many new things just from being around them!
I don't think I can choose between the fabrics!!
New bloglovin follower!
I love being a mom because I love cuddling my little babe!
The favorite thing about my Mom is her ability to only say nice things about people or say nothing. I try to follow her ways but it is so hard some times.
I follow your blog.
I loved my mom for her wisdom and kindness that she showed everyone. I Miss her but know that she is always with me,

Sound like your Mom and my Mom were sisters. I love, love having my kids and grandkids around. I love sharing their lives and watching them becoming. It fills my heart. Thanks.
she is generous and well meaning.
I think the thing I like best is when they tuck their little hand into mine. I just love that.
thanks

I love that my daughter, who is in college, shares so much about her life with me. I know far more than other Mom's I know and it makes me feel good that she trusts me enough to come to me with her problems and successes with friendship, relationships, casual and intimate. monique.belmer at gmail.com
The chickens are adorable!! And hmm... favorite thing about being a mom is waking up to a giggling baby ;)
I've only been a mom for a little over two years and I love to see that little mind soak up and process everything around her. The extra hugs and kisses I now get are great too :). I am completely in love with that "Locally Grown" set - so right for our family.
I now follow (bloglovin) - thanks for the giveaway!
I love that Locally Grown fabric! I work at an organic nonprofit, and I know so many of my coworkers would love it as well! :-)
I have a 20-month old daughter and so far I love everything about being a mom. Mostly, though, I love that she came out with her own personality that is completely the opposite of what my husband and I expected of our kid. It's so fun to get to know her!
I get to tell my kids "I gave you life."
WOW! What a beautiful family! I love big families! We have 6 children, and being their mom is the best dream come true that I never even knew to dream this big for! :) I am also blessed to have a fabulous mom who is the first person to help encourage the love of sewing in my life....I'll always be grateful since now sewing is such a part of me. :) Thanks for the giveaway...I'd be happy with either, like you hard to choose...but I'd probably go with TEXT. Thanks again!
Following with bloglovin'!
I love being a mom because of the cuddles! :):)
I love that type fabric, and the thing I love about being a Mum is seeing my two little girls turn into beautiful, self-confident young women
My mom is the best because she will drop everything for me if I ask her to - and she shows me in so many ways how much she loves me :)
I love that my Mom is so feisty (she always said "Good things come in small packages"... she's 5'2")and that we can always share a laugh whenever we talk. If we lived close by, I know we could spend days sewing together. She's the best!
Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
The thing I love most about my mother is her unconditional love and her laughter.
I love that that my mom is my best firend and always there when I need her
What I love most about being a mom:
knowing that it's my job to help mold and foster my amazing little girl into a happy, helpful person who will make the world a better person through her actions.

thank you for the chance to win. my mom always made me feel loved
I love hearing my kids say, "I wuv you, Mom!"
My mother loves unconditionally and I try to do this with my kids. Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity on a wonderful draw.
My mom is a great listener! Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal.net
My mom has taught me how to be a mom and an awesome grandma. I love the fabrics especially the one with chickens.
I like type the best.
I love hugs and kisses teh best about being a mom. I love those sweet innocent little bugs so much. Sure, they make me want to jump off bridges and drink a lot. But hey, that's motherhood too. I love to show them how to explore and learn new things. I love seeing them pet a caterpillar for the first time or watching them put two and two together.
It didn't take me long to really appreciate my own mom more after becoming a mom myself. On a daily basis, I just love watching my little one learn new things in her cute, funny, awkward way! :) Thanks! amhalverson(at)gmail(dot)com
I love that my mom is always able to tell if I'm felling bad, even when no-one else notices. And I love the Type fat quarter bundle :)

My favorite thing about being a mom is watching my boys grow, one of my most recent things is watching my oldest McCarthy love on and care for our second son Knight. So glad to know that somehow between our parenting and his nature he is a sweet boy! Now we will just have to wait and see how Knight handles his new brother Harrison when he is his age! *grimace* :-D
I have been pining after those Type fabrics! especially the typewriters!
Haven't had my mom since I was 17 - breast cancer took her. But she was wonderful. Just a loving mom and great friend. I miss her so much!
I love my mom because she is always there for me...and being a mom myself is the most fantastic thing that has ever happened to me...(soppy?? me??)
I follow with Bloglovin and would love either bundle - both are very cute!
I just love my kids. They turned out so well.
I am following you on feedly.
My mom loves me no matter what. Thanks for the chance (I think I like the Locally Grown fabric).
Best part of being a mom is that my kid thinks I'm amazing and can do anything.
Happy mother's day to you!
I love the second fabric! I love knowing my daughter simple as that.
follow bloglovin same name
what I love about being a mom is when the kids are grown and they come back to say they have done that thing they swore they were never going to do that I do....
My mom was there for me- always. I'm trying to pay it forward for being there always for my three girls.
I'm following.
My mum is my best friend, we talk everyday and she's looking after my boys this weekend while i get away for my 10th wedding anniversary! I like the TYPE prints, thanks for the chance :o)
I love that my mom lives close by.
I like both fabric bundles but I would pick type first.
I am a new follower.
forgot to say what i love about being a mom- i love when baker smiles at me every morning i get him out of his crib- melts my heart!
emmevon(at)gmail(dot)com
my mother has the best sense of humor and sense of style.
love the chickens!
I love being a mom. Hardest job you'll ever love - it makes you grow up, or will if you let it. And you can feel like you fail, over and over, and one day you realize that you did nothing of the sort. I get to walk alongside my most favorite people in the world, for the rest of my life.
My mom (also named Laurie) is awesome. She's one of those "cool moms" that your friends have always liked...not the kind that tries to be cool & isn't. lol. She's the best Gramma too! As far as which line...it's funny, Type would be my pick but my mom recently moved to a farm & she LOVES her chickens so....
My only surprises me, just when I think I got her down :-) I prefer the typewriter packet i think...
Love my mom and look forward to having dinner with her Sunday.
