Your hand applique quilt is amazing! Those Mendocino Mermaids have a special place in my heart. My favorite thing to do in the summer is eat ice cream and swim. When it gets really hot, I go to the indoor ice rink to figure skate. The temperature inside is about 40 degrees year round.
My favorite summer time thing is sit outside under the shade tree and read a good book along with watching the wildlife come and go.
I love all your give aways, what an awesome way to celebrate! Congrats!
My favorite summer thing is just to get out and mow the lawn, see the flowers, work in my vegetable garden, ride my bicycle and quilt.
Favorite thing to do in the summer is to sit on my deck in the sunshine enjoying all the nature around me while cross stitching or hand binding a quilt.
My favorite summer activity is glamping! I even bring a sewing machine along! And hubby doesnât even mind!!
You are so generous with your giveaways. I love them all. I love the summer. I loved it when my children were little because we could all relax and have fun. I especially love it because 15 of my siblings, our children and their spouses, and our grandchildren, and even some cousins and their families travel from all over the US, Costa Rico and Japan and gather in a lively shore town in New Jersey. We rent separate hoses and motel efficiencies for two weeks and play play play on the beach in the daytime and each others rentals in the evenings. It is a blast!
My favorite summer activity is going for a walk around the neighborhood in the evening. Itâs also a great time to visit family.
My favorite summer activity is a simple hotdog roast around a campfire with family and friends and ending the night with a great marshmellow roast and the making of s’mores.
Thanks Pat for all you do! Really enjoy your videos and quilting community.
Favorite summer activity is playing outside with the dog.
Just love all of your quilts.
My favorite thing in summer is to sit outside under a tree and read or have some iced tea while visiting with my neighbor.

Love the quilt, it is so happy. I love a quilt that makes me smile! I grew up in Florida when Destin was just beaches and no condos. How time changes everything but your memories!
Favorite summer activity besides traveling is to sit on my patio looking at all my flowers and plants in my yard. Maybe a little boring but I crave that time. Love your videos. Thank you.
LOL I’ve STARTED today’s giveaway quilt! How many years ago was that? I’m loving the What’s In Your Closet blocks. Thanks for your devotion to keeping us supplied with more things to make! I think I’ve been watching your YouTubes since the beginning.

Thank you Pat for all you do, I love your videos and look forward to them. The give aways are so awesome and kind of you and the sponsors, again thank you.
The summer give away quilt is absolutely beautiful!
My favorite summer thing is to take walks in the evenings out at Fort Monroe here in Newport News. My partner and I go there to relax and walk away the stress of the day, and the light breeze off of the water makes it very refreshing.
I love all your give aways, what an awesome way to celebrate! Congrats!
My favorite summer thing is just to get out and mow the lawn, clean up the flower beds and enjoy the warm sun. My girls and I do some quilt shopping together, shop hops, and just gathering to share.
