Pat Sloan - QuiltAlbum Blog Hop finale!

I heard about QuiltAlbum about 8 months ago and I fell in love with the software!

It is an easy way to document your quilts, your fabric buys and a lot more. I'm all for keeping it SIMPLE so that we can document AND have time to Quitl!

Who wants to spend a bunch of time learning software?? Well they have done an OUTSTANDING job creating a program that is simple and easy to use.. with some fabulous bells and whistles!

The Owners, Stuart, Barbara, Jim and Laura are also fabulous people and I adore them all! That is Stuart on the left and Laura on the right with me and friendly quilter at Houston Festival this past October.

EVERYONE  on the blog hop has OUT DONE themselves sharing how easy QuiltAlbum is to use. They have also showed you all the nifty things that can be done with it! Below are all the links to the blogs. Remember to visit them all including the AMAZING QuiltDad... John Adams that shares this blog hop day with me!

Now let's have some fun!

 
  What one item do I want to add to MY studio?

This is tough.. I want a comfy stitching chair, a custom bookshelf unit, the fireplace to be opened up for use, a new cutting table... mmm.. and mostly I'd like an ADDITION to PUT it all in!

What do you think?

Is that enough room on the front for a kitchen and bedroom, maybe a TV corner for the shipping department?

What color do I want to paint MY living room?

RIght now my living room is the color of a UPS truck.. oh wait.. that was the shipping departments name for it..

I prefer to call it Mocha or Melted Milk Chocolate.

I would like to lighten up the rooms and my current lead color is Aqua. Not teal.. Aqua.. like the room above, only more Aqua-y than that

 

more like this paint chip... and I'm digging the terracotta with Aqua!

How about you?

What is a little know fact about me?

WOW more tough questions.. who wrote these anyway?

Oh me that was me!

I'm like Linda lum deBono.. I think you KNOW EVERYTHING about me.  But here is one you might not know. I lived in Germany and Belgium for 8 years of my childhood. I do NOT speak another language. Seems I don't have the ear for it.

The last piece of fabric I bought

was shown yesterday CLICK HERE

But truth be told.. I've been on a buying frenzy...umm.. on a fabric ENHANCEMENT frenzy...ummm... adding to the collection. These are some dots I added recently!

 

My favorite Easter candy

 is a White Chocolate bunny, how ELEGANT are these!!

I would put my grandson's quilt that took 8 years to finish! He was thrilled to finally put it on his bed.

[Donna]

QuiltAlbum sounds great! I've been inconsistent with my journaling for the quilts I've made. The first one would be a baby quilt I made for my daughter 18 years ago. It's still in one piece!

[Mary]

I have never document any of the quilts I have made. My friends get mad at me for this. May be I can show them that I can keep a log of the items I make

[Roberta Patterson]

I would start with the next quilt I finish.

[Jenny Brooks]

The first quilt I would put in my Quilt Album would be my mom's Baltimore Album! Okay maybe that doesn't count since I didn't make it but it is my most valued quilt, it is beautiful and reminds me of my mom every day!

Jenny in Florida

Well its too late for the quilts I'm mailing to Japan today and too late for the two quilts I donated to Victoria's charity "Basics housing", and for the two quilts Debby Brown and I just donated to QOV ,so maybe my Roll roll cotton boll from Bonnie Hunter's mystery will be the first one. So many quilts I wish I had documented but it is never to late to start.

Happy Sewing, thanks for the chance to win.

[Marcyne Efraimson]

I will put in my very first quilt, done when I was about 16. I was full of hopes and dreams and said it would go to my first child in years to come and she has it! A crib size, much faded, was purple, now more like lavender, postage stamp size quilt.

[Deb]

Whatever is on top of the pile! I have dozens of quilts randomly piled in my guest room; what's on top varies from week to week as they get rotated and ones get pulled out to show to friends.

[Sarah Laucamp]

I would start with putting in the quilt that my sister and I made for our mom. It would also be great to have an area to document all the charity quilts that I make.

[Kate]

I would start from the beginning with my star log cabin quilt. I would also love to have my great-grandmother's, great-aunt's, and mother's quilts cataloged all together.

[daisy]

Hi Pat - I'd put in my Christine Book Sewing Room quilt I did which is my first finished quilt that I machine quilted - Its made from Deb Strain fabric and I love it.

[Kathy G.]

I would document the quilt I made for my son when he graduated from college. It was a t-shirt quilt loaded with memories from when he grew up. Although his first job would take him from here in Milwaukee where you need a quilt to Honolulu where you don't, I wanted him to have it to take with him no matter where he was working.

[Cathy Staeven]

What a great way to keep track of all my UFOs! I would begin with a brand new quilt that must be made from my stash. What fun! Thanks for he chance to win.

[Kathleen C]

The first quilt I would put into the Album-which sounds wonderful-is Leaves, inspired by a coverlet made by an unknown CT maker in the mid 1800s. It's hand appliqued, hand quilted, made of tracings from leaves picked on my mother's 2 acres. My brothers identified the specimens for me-my leaves are botanically correct. It is a family quilt.

Thanks very much for the Hop and the chance to win the Quilt Album.

[Diane]

The first quilt to be put in the program will be the top my great grandmother made. Then I will include the quilts my husband's grandmothers made.

[dawn]

The first quilt I would put into the program would be the wedding quilt I'm making for my daughter! I would love to be able to organize all the documentation for my quilts in one place. Sounds like this software is what I'm looking for! Thanks!

[Sarah in Houston]

I would put my Dear Jane in first. All I have to do on it is add the binding to the scalloped edge and sew it down. I have to clean up an area around my sewing machine so I can pull it away from the wall to sew more easily with that HUGE quilt. Being a teacher right now is a little stressful, so it's a hard project to start. I need to work on things that I can do on auto-pilot. Maybe that will be the first project I do in June!

[Peggy]

My very first quilt of course.

[Leah]

I'd start with my sons Mariner's quilt....

[Jeanne]

I would put the memory quilt I made for my grandaughter's graduation in the quilt album first if I won it. Sounds like great software I would love to win. Thanks for the giveaway.

[Miss Nancy]

Looks like very useful software. Thank you for this great giveaway.

Have a super great sewing day.

[Sandy K]

This looks like such fun software....thanks for the chance to win!

[Becky in Georgia]

Thanks for bringing this great software to our attention! Now I'm hungry for a chocolate Easter bunny. Luckily, there isn't one in the house:)

[MissesStitches.blogspot.com]

I would love (really LOVE) to win the QuiltAlbum software. I would start with the oldest quilt of mine that I can remember and work forward from there.

[Julee]

Thanks for the great giveaway! I would start with the quilt I'm working on now then add all of my quilts which is over 50.
