This is the BOM from The Quilt Show by Sarah Vedeler. Yeah, I look at it about once a week. I download the pattern each month and file it away in my trusty binder. Someday I would love to make this quilt.
I love the patterns by Kelli Wulfsohn at Don't Look Now! I think this tree might actually be a possibility, that is if I ever get my hands on one of her patterns. I know I would love to make any of her designs.
There are many other designs that I love to look at and dream about making...and since I am just linking with SewMamaSew for Giveaway Day (which is really a week) and there are only two days left, I wanted my giveaway to help you maybe get started on that project you really want to do someday, or help you work on your "now" project.
I purchased a pair of these Olfa scissors a while ago and I love them. I don't care if I'm using them on fabric, yarn, or felt, they are wonderful. If you would like a chance to win this pair, leave me a comment telling me what your dream project is. I can't wait to see what everyone would love to work on..and I just bet I might find something that I would love to add to my list. If you would like a second chance, leave another comment letting me know you are a follower. The winner will be chosen by random.org on Friday, May 25, at 8 p.m. (Central Standard time), so hurry and leave me a comment!
Today's block (Mother's Favorite) is a fun one with a lot of half-square triangles. It actually looks much more complicated than it is. It is number 144 of 366 and it is a 12-inch block. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

Wow, I think my dream project is likely a Swoon quilt. It's the size of the project, needs such a amount of fabric to finish the quilt top and then the backing.... Oy! I might need to stick to lap quilts for a while longer while I build up my courage!
a Judy Niemeyer quilt. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Is it sad to say that my dream project is to either make a quilt (any quilt!) or knit a sweater for myself? I am always making all kinds of projects for other people that the things I'd like to make for myself just never get done. Maybe this year is the year?
Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!

Eu sou sua seguidora.Seu presente é ótimo,obrigada.tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com
Como você eu tenho muitos também,mas eu muitos anos atrás aprendi fazer alguns pontos de tapeçaria.Como eu não tinha dinheiro para comprar a lã própria,eu usava linhas e fazia em panos de prato,de saco de algodão que aqui no Brasil chamamos de farinha.Depois que comecei a trabalhar comprei lã para bebê e etamine e fiz muitas peças assim.Sempre quis fazer um tapete ou painel para minha casa,eu acho que já devo ter dinheiro para isso agora.A questão é será que vou conseguir me empenhar para tanto?Não sei.Me desculpe acho que fiz um post em seu blog.Seja feliz.Beijo.tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com
I would love to make a New York Beauty quilt some day.
I think my dream is Lynettes vignette hexagon quilt. So beautiful!
I am already a follower!
a quilt for my bed.
Well, my life-long dream is to learn to blow glass. For quilting, I'd like to finish a warped nine patch I started for myself 15 years ago.
majorasue(at)hotmail(dot)com
My dream project would be an intricately quilted whole cloth quilt. It would be amazing to be so skilled at quilting to accomplish that-- not yet, unfortunately!
I always wanted to learn stained glass. As far as quilting goes, I'm brand new and working on a basic block baby quilt but someday I hope to have the skills to try a Dresden plate quilt or a pattern I saw online from an old issue of Quilters Newsletter called Yippity Yap quilt which is so cute.

I have begun to work on my dream project, an English paper-pieced Grandmother's Flower Garden. It will likely take a very long time, but I'm pleased to have begun it and in a way it makes me happy to think I'll be working on it for years.
wordygirl at earthlink dot net
My dream project would be the pickledish or gypsy kisses quilt. I saw one on a blog. I read it's from the book Material Obsession 2. It is so cool. I think it will be a while before I attempt it though.
My dream project would be any Edyta Sitar quilt.
I want to try the Swoon quilt that everyone raves about!! or the circles of geese!
My dream project atm would be a cute quilt using the penguin and fish embroidery animals and letters, so so cute! But I need to learn to embroider first! http://www.penguinandfish.com/shop/product/78
Right now my dream project is making an English paper-pieced quilt with all hand applique. I am doing it little by little. :) Thanks for the chance to win!

I would like to make a double wedding ring quilt one day. Thanks for the chance to win!
My dream project is Mary Ann Keathley's Hidden Circles quilt. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway
My dream is to finish some of my UFO's. But i love the preprinted baby quilt by Mary Engelbreit of mother goose.
One day I want to make a big quilt from a Judy Niemeyer pattern. I haven't picked a specific one, but it seems that all of her patterns are amazing! I like Kelli's patterns too and found a free one (on her blog I think) that would be a good one to start with.
I have the Farmer's Wife book and would love to start (and finish!) that quilt.
I would love to make a heavily appliqued quilt. I have admired them from a distance but knew I would never make one. In magazines I would just gloss over them. I recently made some table runners with needle turned appliqued and surprised myself by enjoying the process.
I don't quilt but my dream project (right now) is an embroidered lampshade. I have the lamp and the knowledge to make the shade but I'm still a little intimidated by it.
My dream project would be a floral applique quilt in batiks, like the one that Edyta Sitar has out now - love it!
I am a happy follower!
oh wow! that top quilt is STUNNING!
Two dream projects right now: swoon and patchwork prism by Anna Marian Horner. Hopefully this summer!
My dream project is to create coordinating bedspreads for my kids.
Dream project... a king size bento quilt in limes, greys, white and black... with a bit of emerald green and aqua in I think... Yum!!

I'm actually tackling it this fall...it's modest, but I want a king sized bed quilt for our room. I've gathered up the Salt Air and will begin when summer fun settles down :)
I can"t wait to start dewing clothes for myself!thanks for the chance
I'm your follower
someday, after my extensive to-do list, i would absolutely LOVE to make a king sized swoon quilt... and use it on my bed!
I have a couple of dream projects. First I want to make a quilt with sewn in circles and a dress for me.
I'm a Follower thru GFC. I love Kellie Wulfson's patterns also. I have Lilly Pilly but haven't done it yet. It's great that they are now available in the US.
hmmm, good question!I want to learn how to crochet just so I can make a granny square afghan in bright colors, but I never seem to have the time...
My dream is to make a quilt! I have some of the supplies I need, but my fabric needs cutting up so I can start!

My dream project right now would be to make a cathedral window quilt.
Ooh, I could definitely use some new scissors! My dream project is probably a king-size quilt for our bed. It's just so daunting!

My dream project is to design a craft room for my home using my favorite colors--turquoise and red, with a little white thrown it for good measure!

a wedding dress..ive always been fascinated by people that make them and how much work goes into it :) raineoc@yahoo.com
following :) raineoc@yahoo.com
my dream project at this point would be a queen size quilt!
My dream project is an amazing dress that fits me perfectly. I'm short and curvy and they don't really make clothes for people shaped like Pam Anderson (yay for the figure of a nursing mama, lol) but only 5'2", lol, especially not inexpensive, modest, but stylish ones!
I am a follower!! Love, love, love checking daily with Samantha what you have done!!!
My dream project would be an entire quilt of one of the many beautiful blocks you have made. Other than baby stuff I have never finished a full size quilt and would love to complete one for my bed.
My dream project is an all applique quilt.
my dream project is a self-designed Doctor Who themed TARDIS quilt, complete with 'POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX' along the top, lots of space and star themed fabric, and a backing that referenced each of the 11 doctors (or my top 3 companions, Martha Rose and Donna). I've thought a lot about this, but it'll be a while before I can make it happen!
my email is supersharmie at gmail dot com
To be honest, I don't have a dream project at the moment. I just want to keep sewing gifts and quilts and maybe some clothes. Sure, I have a list of things I want to get done, but I wouldn't call any of them "dream projects." They are just simple projects/quilts that I know exactly who I'll give it to or exactly where I'll put it in the house... At the moment, I just want to quilt the three tops I have lying in the spare room (two are gifts and one is for me!). Thanks for the giveaway!
This is my dream project:
http://sewkindofwonderful.blogspot.com/2012/05/urban-nine-patch-quilt.html
It is one of the most beautiful quilts I have EVER seen. And the detailed quilting - so cool!
Thanks for a chance to win!
i would love to make a quilt for my queen sz bed.!
My dream project is to finish my red and white hexie quilt. You can see the center of it on my header here.
http://tildastwistedlife.blogspot.com/
By the way, that center is about 3 feet wide!
I would love to make one of Kim McLean's quilt designs -- maybe Flower Pot. Gorgeous!
My dream project would be something that would use up all of my fabrics so I wouldn't feel guilty for having them for so long.
I want a few quilts that I made to use on the bed need a thick winter one and a light thin summer one.

That BOM from Quilt Show is impressive. I would like to actually do the Farmers Wife quilt.
I'd like to make a big quilt--any pattern! I've only gotten up the courage to start baby/lap quilts. And I really want to learn to knit and knit myself a sweater and shawl.
HAPPY FOLLOWING YOU VIA BLOG LOVIN'!
THANKS FOR SHARING!

My current dream project is not sewing related: I really want to knit up a fall sweater-jacket for myself. There's one on Ravelry that has a lovely vine and leaf boarder that I've been eyeballing for years... it may be time to take the plunge!

I'm with you on the tree quilt - I have looked at it for ages and even started collecting fabric. I just need to DO IT!

I would love to make a full size quilt. So far I have only made toddler and doll quilts. I have done larger ones but have only tied them, no quilting involved. Since I have my new machine, now I would like to do it the quilting way!
I am now a follower. Thanks for the great giveaway !
My dream project is a quilt with all the blocks embroidered with classic designs in "redwork" but with each block in a different color.
My dream project would be a queen sized quilt, not sure of the pattern, but the quilting would be hand stiched. I hate hand sewing, I lack the patience. I love how it looks though. Some day. Thank you for the giveaway, the scissors look very useful!
My dream project would be a dress for me that actually looks nice! I have yet to figure out how to do all the adjustments to make a pattern look "just right" for me. :P

I am a follower.
I'll keep my fingers crossed, my shorter Wiss scissors just gave up the ghost a few days ago. For me, the quilt I want to tackle but don't know if I'll ever have the nerve is this Dear Jane one here http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7CAzOr_wqA4/TYGeMtqGH0I/AAAAAAAAB4w/XIz226sBjEU/s1600/DJ1.jpg after seeing this particular version at Green Fairy Quilts

Oh easy - Maggie Walker Blue Collection quilt. That's going to be my heirloom quilt... one day.
I've wanted to try my hands at the Summer Sampler Series by Fresh Lemons Quilts. I think they are so pretty and would be a challenge.

I was going to say a quiltthen I saw Njeri's comment and thought, 'That would be amazing'. So I'm stealing her answer; I would love to make my own wedding dress. Thank you for the giveaway!
If you love Kelli Wulfsohn patterns I would suggest looking for older Homespun Magazines on Ebay or Etsy. Check her blog for the ones you need. The patterns are very clear in them and I love them too.
I also love the Kookaburra Cottage (http://kookaburracottagequilts.com.au/store/Default.asp) range of BOM, Smee Designs (http://smeedesigns.com/) and Kids Quilts (http://www.kidsquilts.com/) out of New Zealand for their range of lovely quilts and quilting projects.

I would like to make one of those white quilts where it is the quilting that is the most important part [I can't remember the name of them!]
I would REALLY like to win these scissors because I am just starting out with quilting and sewing and I need a good pair of scissors dedicated to fabric use only. However, my answer isn't very exciting because I am a newbie. . . right now I would be thrilled to complete a lap quilt for my mom. I know that probably doesn't give you much inspiration because you are so advanced, but it is my truth.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I follow you via GFC as Maureen H. thank you for the additional entry!
My dream project would be to make a quilt out of my own designed fabric.

Actually any quilt that I can sit down and finish without having to stop and put up and get back out again.
I realize my dream project is a quilt to be a wedding gift for my son and his fiance who recently became engaged. The same for my other children when they marry. So I guess it's time to get started. I will let them have as much say as they would like in colors, patterns, fabric.
I want to be able to make my own gorgeous prom or wedding dress...I'm actually planning on making my own prom dress so I guess the dream project is the wedding dress! I really need some fabric shears because I just use a regular pair of scissor! Teehee Thanks so much for the post ^^
Lattice quilt with Moda's Summer Breeze II for my best friend's birthday!
