Awesome giveaway! I have had a nine-patch quilt on my to-make list for a while and would love a jelly roll. This would be perfect!!
and what I want to do this year....Well if I win the Jelly Roll I would have to create something fun!! ( my son gave me one for Christmas that I am working with now).
And I also want to try a blog of my own.. you can check out Butterfly Quilting!
and finally ......ok, enough I guess...but you asked :)
Congrats on your 300th post! I'm a blog follower via google reader.

WHOOOHOOO!!!
I've been following you for a while now...(smile)
ok, I confess...I dont know how to twitter !! I was going to try and add a funny birdie twitter here, but maybe just saying "twitter" will count?????
I'm a follower. Thanks for the chance to win.
Well I am a follower.
I'm going to finish up my ufos before concentrating on anything new. Make use of the fabric I have in my stash.
How exciting to be at 200 followers! I LOVE Pure as well! Thanks for the opportunity to win. I am planning to do a baby quilt for my sweet baby boy. :)
I want to finish more of my UFO' s and make a scrap quilt.
I want to learn free motion quilting!

Congrats! I'm a follower. Jenn
Yeah for 200 followers and over 300 posts! You go girl! Jenn
I have become a follower of your blog.
I was a Twitter follower first.
This year I really want to make my first quilt top and then quilt it myself. Ambitious? Yes. But that's me all over. I have been a cross stitcher for over 14 years and now quilting is taking over. Also I really love the Pure collection but haven't bought one yet.
Love
Patricia xxx
I want to try new things--Something I am not so good about doing!
I am a follower
I am a follower - would love to win!
I would like to lose weight and get in better shape. Make more quilts for charity. Let my family know more often I love them.
I want to get in better shape, so I have the energy I need for a 3 month stint looking after the grandkids!! Also, fit in some quilting. LOVE< LOVE> PURE!!
Oops earlier. I love following your blog, and I have way too many ufos going. Plus 2 quilts, plus more tutorials on the blog. Here in England that Pure line is Rare as Gold! Tho I'd just have you post it to my sister in MS. She's bored. :)
With one child starting school and the other starting preschool, I'm going to have more me time to sew, sew, sew. Maybe even write a pattern or 2. That's my plan for the year :-)
I'm a follower on twitter @sameliasmum
I'm a follower of your blog too :-)
I love your designs and I feel very blessed to be connecting with so many quilters in the last couple of months. I have learned more about quilting than I ever thought possible! I want to quit my full time job and quilt all the time! LOL
I have followed you on twitter.
I want to sew more things for gifts and I would also like to run a 5k without stopping this year! Thanks for the chance to win the PURE fabric - it's awesome!
I'm a NEW follower!
I also subscribed to your newsletter! :)
This year I plan to learn how to do the quilt as you go technique and perfect my applique. I also really really REALLY plan to get a new sewing machine. My 20 year old Janome is kicking up fits.
And now I'm a happy follower of your Blog.
I am a NEW follower on Twitter too!
Pure is one of my favorite lines also. I've got a list of things I would like to do this year listed on my blog....I'll share one here,and that one is to.... try not to be afraid of my Gammill long arm and start practicing so I can put it to good use. Congratulations on 300 posts and 200+ followers.
I'm a follower of your blog for sometime now. I've been blogging for about 6 months now...would love it if you visited my blog and followed along. Thanks for the chance to win the PURE JR:)
I twitter-followed you too! I really like the chances to win some Pure!
I am going to finish a lot of the quilts I have started and still start new ones. It would be too unrealistic to plan to just finish UFO s. Thanks for a great giveaway.
I am a follower. Love your blog!
Congratulations Cara on your 300th post and having so many followers!!! As for what I want to do this year...everything!!! Love the Pure fabric...don't have any...yet ;-)
Already stalking you on Twitter ;-)
and I've been a Follower for a while!
Thanks for the giveaway. I, too, love Pure and make 11 small bags out of a jelly roll for holiday gifts. It would be great to win more.
Comment #2 for me - I am a follower. and now, to answer the question I was supposed to answer in the first comment entry - I hope to make more smaller project this year and less larger quilts.
CONGRATS on more than 300 posts! may there be many more to come!
my plans for this year are numerous as always :) -
a) a 'single girl' quilt
b) following along the p.s. i quilt jelly roll postage stamp quilt along (pure would fit in perfectly! hint hint...heehee)
c) dwr quilt
d)finally a tree skirt
e) finishing a good amount of my 20+ ufos (some are still in the just cut out phase!)
f) finishing my double sided flannel quilt (which i've just begun some days ago)
g) pillows for my living room
I am a dedicated follower and really enjoy your blog for inspiration. Congratulations! Thanks for an awesome giveaway too!
Hi Cara,
Happy New Year - here's wishing for a few more pain-free days for you.
Please enter my name in your draw. I just finished my first ever jelly roll quilt today (baby quilt for a colleague who is due to deliver this week), and I think PURE would be a lovely next set of fabrics to work with.
Terrific giveaway! My plans are to make two quilty b-day gifts for my sister and aunt.
I have a Twitter connection but darned if I can ever figure out how to "do it". How about if I just "crow" about your giveaway to my quilting friends, would that count??
I will be making more "quilty" gifts this year. Everyone on my list will get something handmade with love by me!
I'm now following you on Twitter.
I already follow your blog... love it! :-)
Congratulations Cara! Wonderful giveaway to celebrate! I want to learn new things this year... like embroidery! And even though I don't want to stray to far from quilting... I would like to also learn how to crochet. I love those crochet trims on pillowcases!!!
I am already a follower of yours;D
yup, Iam a follower!
This year I would like to get some finishing work done around my house. I've lived with unfinished work for almost 2 years. Thanks for the giveaway!
Would like to have quilts made for everyone for Christmas. My 3 kids and 2 grandsons
I just became a follower. Thanks again.......
I follow your blog. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. Would love to have a jelly roll for my first JR project - I was gifted a book on making JR quilts and will pick a pattern from it to make -- or go with my favorites of 9 or 4 patches. Please enter me too.
Hi Cara! I follow your blog very happily!!
Hello again! I have fun following you as you Tweet! Congrats on 300 posts and over 200 followers!! Wow!!
As for what I want to get done this year, the list is endless, but it does start with p.s.iquilt's postage stamp quilt along, then Blogapalooza's Waiting for Spring quilt along and then some dresses for my darling daughters, some more quilting .... LOL Thanks for this giveaway!
I want to do more liberated quilting this year. Thanks for a chance to win!
I'm a follower. Thanks for another chance to win!
Hi Cara, I am a follower for about six months and I am amazed at all that you especially with having FM. Congrads on all that you accomplished along with a move.
I have a lot on my plate but the first thing I hope to do is to make your quilt shrug for a friend and one for my daughter who is always cold.
Congratulations! This year I want to use up some of my stash and finish off some of the projects I already have started. And I'd love to make myself a lap quilt out of that Pure jellyroll! Thanks for the chance! :0)
I'm a follower of your blog too! Thanks again for the great giveaway! :0)
I would love to finish my 12 days of Christmas quilt that I started before a friend of ours had an accident. I haven't been able to work on it lately! I love your block for the quilt along and thanks for such a wonderful giveaway! Blessings - Molly
Ugh...I also want to learn how to USE my google blog account so I don't always sign as anonymous! LOL
ggmmolly0295@aol.com
My plans for 2011 include learning to piece and machine quilt on my mother's new sewing machine. I want to make more quilts in 2011 and handquilting all of them will be difficult. I'm too ambitious perhaps. Congratulations on the major milestones of 200 plus followers / 300 plus posts.
Figured out how to follow on Twitter! HOORAY! Its going to be a good year!

How exciting for you! Congratulations! I already am a follower of your blog. I already follow you on Twitter.
For this year, I am determined to "chop" down my huge list of UFO'S.
Thanks for the chance on your giveaway to win this jelly roll. I would use it to make a new table runner set.
Congratulations on your remarkable landmarks! My goal this year is to improve my machine quilting. I know, practice practice practice ;-) Thanks for such a generous giveaway!
And I am now a follower :-)
Wow - what a cool giveaway! I have always liked the Pure fabrics, but haven't owned or worked with any yet... This year i would like to finish 12 quilts - about one per month. I better get cracking, huh?!

I'm not here for the giveaway but just checking in with you....been wondering about your little bit and liking her new school. I'm so behind the stone age...no twitter.
What do I want to do this year....well if I win this jelly roll I have a baby quilt that I have been wanting to make and I just happen to have a baby boy to give it to who is scheduled (if you can ever schedule babies) to be born in May..
Hi Cara,
I read your blog regularly and enjoy your stories about life and quilting. It makes me happy to see you enjoying your quilting experience and sharing your talents with others.
It is easy to see why you have so many followers. Congratulations on 300 posts.
Regards,
Anna
I am one of your followers too- and very happy to be one.
I hope to make a few quilts this year to honor some people who are having some special milestones. My father will be 80 in April and I want to make him a Nature throw for his chair in the living room.
I also want to make an aunt and uncle a quilt to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
There are others too so I guess I better get quilting.
Thanks for the chance to win such a nice jelly roll.
Regards,
Anna

I have a list of things I want to try for the first time this year, including dresden plates and paper piecing. I also want to try working with some non traditional fabrics such as linen and velveteen. Wonderful giveaway prize! Someone is going to be thrilled!
This year I have a goal of doing one UFO a month, along with one regular project a week.
I want to finish up some of my UFOs, lose weight, and get started on some new quilts. I need to try new colours and colour combinations as well. And keep up on my blog posts. It'll be a big year!
I'm a follower and I LOVE pure. Love love love.
Hi Cara, I'm a follower of your blog... in fact, I just might have been the 200th follower - ok, well perhaps #199. :)

Congratulations on your 200 followers and reaching 300 posts - it's amazing isn't it, this blog world?
This year I want to finish some of my WIPs and not feel guilty about the projects that have been stored away and UFOs that are never going to be FFOs. I also want to try something new in quilting but I don't know what it is yet and I want to work hard to improve my FMQ.
Thanks for the chance to win the gorgeous Pure jellyroll.
This year I want to make more quilts than I did in 2010...bet a jelly roll would help me along the way ;o)
I want to make new quilts for all my grandkids! thanks for the chance to win!
Great giveaway! Please count me in! This year I want to learn more about quilting.

This year I want to finish more then one quilt and hope to handpiece and hand quilt at least one quilt.

What an awesome giveaway! SO, what do I want to do this year? What DON'T I want to do!? I've got clothing projects for the children and a few quilts in mind. What I CAN NOT WAIT to do is piece a quilt on my treadle...don't know why, but I think this will be a lot of fun! Am planning on using Quilt Dad's tutorial for wonky block!

Love your blog, and I love this line of fabric. I've been eyeing it at my local fabric shop. I follow you through Google Reader. I hope to make something for my sister-in-law's wedding this year!

This year I'm hoping to spend a lot of time with my son. He is growing up way too fast!!
I already follow you on Twitter.
...and now I follow your blog as well. :)
Oh I would love to win -Pure is so pretty! Okay what I'm going to do this year is try to work on a UFO each month. (If I finish great, if not that great too.) And go camping in Arizona in the middle of the desert in the middle of January! A place with no trees! (Yikes) but it's month long swapmeet & Gem show.
I follow your blog in reader :)
I am hoping to get back into the swing of things this year...I have taken about 5 months off from quilting due to some family issues and life changes...New year, new start!!
First thing I'm doing is taking lessons to learn how to use my new sewing machine - then I'm going to quilt up a storm. Thanks ever so much for the lovely giveaway.
I discovered Sweetwater Designs just before Christmas - and I love the Pure fabric. I am so inspired to quilt! I had a 60 hour per week job for 3 years so I had to give up quilting. I was laid off 17 months ago and then I fell a year ago January 10th so I am just getting back to quilting after a very long absence (I first thought - no problem but it turns out I need my left arm to cut fabric). I have been finishing some UFO's and I am just starting to work on my stash.
Love your Blog! It helps keeps me inspired to sew!
I loved your prairie points Christmas Tree and so I find myself here! I don't have any plans for major quilts at this stage, but will be doing small projects like swaps, mug rugs, doll quilts, placemats, purses etc. So that jelly roll would go a LONG way!
My goal for this year is to have more finishes. I'm too easily distracted by all of the new ideas that come along. I need to be more focused. Thanks for a chance at a great giveaway.
I have not made anything with Pure. I loved it when it came out but had too many projects going to start another. This would be a treat.
One of my goals this year is to finish the spiderweb quilts (bunk beds) I'm making for my son - and I happen to be using PURE scraps so this would be a perfect addition to finish the quilts with.
my Christmas applique project I was going to have done last year. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am a follower - hope I win!! :)
Loved making your block on the Layer Cake Quilt along...I'm sure that's one of the reasons people are flocking to your blog! This year I want to enjoy lots of quilty adventures with my quilting friends, and have many many relaxing hours working on fun quilting projects!
Hi Cara, found you through twitter. I am hoping to finish some quilt tops for our guild quilt show in June! BTW, I lived and worked in Kitchener from 87-90!
I want to finish up some UFOs and make more baby quilts for our church quilt ministry.
I just became a follower on your blog.
I would like to finish a few UFO's because there are so many more wonderful patterns and fabrics coming out all the time sooooo I want to start more and more projects!
Let's see ... this year I am getting back into sewing! After 20-something years of running my own biz, I am finally finding time to sew and quilt. I am sooo excited. I have joined a Scrap Bee and am designing a block for a Linus quilt and won a contest through Threads magazine and now have some amazing new sewing supplies. I am on my way ... YAY! Never know ... I just might have a new business here ...
I am also a fellow Tweet Peep ... Woot!!!
And ... I am following your blog, too! Yippee!
Thank you for the giveaway. It is so helpful to those of us who are starting over.
Good luck to everyone who entered.
I would love to create my first pattern & tutorial this year. Sounds easy, but if you have never done it, it's huge... Thanks for the giveaway!
I am hoping to get a few of my patterns out there in circulation as well as continue to do design work.
I found your blog through The Fat Quarter Blog. This year I want to make each of my three children a quilt for their birthdays. I have picked out a quilt for my two girls and now just need to decide on my son's quilt. He is pure bliss and your generous jelly roll give away would be perfect. Many thanks, Jacinta
Love your blog. Also love jelly rolls.
congrats cara thats awesome!! I want to make myself a quilt this year!
congrats cara thats awesome!! I want to make myself a quilt this year!
follow you on twitter!
Congratulations on reaching another milestone!
This year I want to bite the bullet and cut into all my gorgeous fabrics to make at least one quilt. I'm hoping to make about three plus have all my 2011 Christmas presents done by the end of October so I can relax the last two months of this year.
I'll have a small break in sewing because we just learned we will become grandparents again in September. This will be our 2nd grandchild. :)
Maybe I'll be lucky with this giveaway since you'll be announcing the winner on my birthday. Thank you for the chance to win and again, congratulations.
