That was a great interview! Quilts that make up so quickly, love that! Those aprons did it for me, right along with the Dew Drop little rug! What talent, to make that up just before Quilt Market and be such a big hit! And so necessary, what a unique gift to make for a new Mom! I woulld love those big flowers scattered around my home! Your giveaway is very generous, I feel I loved seeing the inside look at Market.Where did they get those Long Johns?? Darling. Please enter me in your drawing, this is a company to watch for more great things.

Loved Gina at quilt market! She was so great and friendly and I feel honored to have met her! Gina, darling, I LOVE your diaper/rug changer idea!!!!! I made a small quilt to match my babys crib set, and actually use it as both! a rug right in front of the crib and diaper changer (it’s so much easier to do it on the floor these days)!!! I love the no slip idea on the back! I will be checking that out from Moda for sure!
P.S. thank you so much for the Tina Givens give away!!!! I am sooo thrilled to be receiving yards of delicious, fun fabric to try out on some new patterns I purchased there at market! You girls are fantastic!

the interview was great!!Hope i win, i love crafting!
June 25th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Awesome quilts. I love the simplistic quilts that are easy and classic. The quilting on it is gorgeous… that’s the kind of quilting I was talking to you about on the phone today Daria. It’ll take a year at least by hand! lol. Great interview. Love the fabric. Yellow is just so cheery. It should be in every home.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Gotta love Gina!
June 25th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
would love to be able to make a quilt in a day. i tried one once and i spend weeks,finally gave up. would like to try again.
June 25th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I like the diaper changing rug, really cute and very handy! Thanks
June 25th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Wonderful interview. And a great giveaway, thanks!
June 25th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
I had never heard of this before but wow! Beautiful projects like this in just a day or two?! Amazing. Would love to win!
June 25th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Great stuff!!! Thanks.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
A quilt in a day? a long day, perhaps. But so worthwhile, anyway.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
I love the ‘rug’ changing pad. What a cute idea. And all the quick projects are great and so cute! Thanks for the giveaway.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Wow, this video has almost convinced me that even I can make a quilt! I love the fabrics and patterns and would love to be the lucky winner of this giveaway!
June 25th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Loved the interview. Diaper changing rug is a great idea.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
I’m so impressed by everything. Having three babies in diapers, I especially love the changing pad. My mom and I love to quilt and sew together and I can’t wait to show this to her.
June 25th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Quilts in a day (or maybe for me, a weekend) — that might make me dust off my sewing machine!
June 25th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Wow! I love it! Definitely something that sparks my interest.
June 25th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
In respect to the interview, I appreciate the focus on short-term projects. I have three kids and some of my more ambitious projects go unfinished and it can become discouraging. I find that smaller projects give me a sense of accomplishment and I’m more inclined to take on another.

June 25th, 2008 at 6:58 pm

June 25th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
I’ve always wanted to make a quilt, but it seems like such a daunting tasks! I would love to see if I could really get it done so quickly, but I might make my goal more like a week!!
June 25th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Id love to see if I could ACTUALLY make a quilt in a day…or a year for that matter! LOL!
June 25th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
I agree with the interview that the fabrics available now are cool enough to not have to mess with them too much – thanks for the interview and contest!
June 25th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
The quilt a day sounds so great! I would love to do that.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
I like best hearing Gina speak and her enthusiasm for quilting. I also have to say the diaper changer rug is great. It would make a great shower gift.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
I loved the Marilynn apron you were wearing Daria! Going to the website now to check out more quick and easy patterns! Thanks!

July 26th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
I LOVE the flower rugs. They are so girlie. I will have to hide the pattern from 6 and 8 year old daughter until the day I am ready to make them, otherwise they may just sew them up themselves – hey wait a minute – that’s a good idea too!
July 31st, 2008 at 10:01 pm
What a fabulous idea, the rubberised backing for the rugs! I love the big flag pattern using the ruffled rick rack too! Ingenious and so charming! I loved watching this interview, it was very motivating and inspiring
I wish i had your creativity! But i am glad i can gain some of your great products!
Thanks again,
Lesley XX
