My children and grandchildren will be away this year for Mother's day so I guess there is just Dad and me and he says I am not his mother.

debbiekl said...

I haven't figured out what to do with my mom, but I'd love it it my family and I went on a picnic!

Donna said...

This Mother's Day I will be cleaning house after Church. My mother will be arriving from Mississippi the following Tuesday. I'm starting to get excited.

Quiltsmiles said...

Since I'm posting number 203 and it is my lucky number! For Mothers' Day I'll be calling my Mom besides have a gathering here with the grandchildren and children. Typically we have a BBQ or go out to dinner someplace, not sure which yet. Happy Mother's Day to you too and thanks for a grand giveaway. Jane

Melissa said...

I am hoping I don't have to work on Mother's Day. Either way, I'd like to squeeze in a run, as well as a visit with my mom.

bets said...

Great fabric and nice site! I plan to golf with my husband, then have a lunch at a nice restaurant afterwards! Thanks for the giveaway!

Kate R said...

What lovely fabrics! Unfortunately, my mother is half a world away, so I won't be seeing her (although she will be visiting next month, so we can have a late celebration!). I will become a mum myself in 6 or so short weeks when our baby boy arrives, but my husband decided this mother's day already counts so he is taking me out for dinner :)

Kathie said...

I'm headed with my husband to Austin, Texas to visit my son and grandson (and his wife of course)!I never dreamed my children would have to leave California so I'm eager to see them and what better weekend!
Oh, & I'd love to win :-)!

annmarie said...

Wow, you hit the jackpot with Christie's Quilting Boutique bein a sponsor. What a great giveaway - thanks to both of you for the chance to win. Mother's Day is the opening of fishing season in northern Wisconsin, so I'll be sewing while they are fishing!

JLG said...

I plan to do a mother's day run and then go to breakfast with my hubby and the little ones!

Paula said...

I am watching my son graduate from Law School at 2:00pm. One of the best ever!

ultraorganized said...

Children are all too far away, however I will get phone calls or skype's especially of my Grandson,
Corbin. Lovely fabric -- I see a quilt in my future :)

ShirleyC said...

Incredible giveaway!
For Mother's Day my children normally take me to the Olive Garden for lunch. I haven't heard their plans for this year yet. It also depends on their work schedules.

ELNM said...

We'll have a quiet day this year (the rest of the family is busy that day). The one thing I won't do is cook! I normally love to, but it's a treat not to on Mothers Day! Thanks for the chance to win!

Rebeckah Austin said...

Oh lovely! I will bespending mothers day alone =(. My family lives too far for me to travle to. Though I might go the the Ren fair wiht some friends.

LochKnitsMonster said...

What an awesome shop. Thanks for sharing. My sister and I are taking our mom to a Beatles musical and dinner this Mother's Day. She has no idea what we've planned even though we bought the tickets back in August. We're both really looking forward to surprising her.

hennies.pennies said...

My children and grandchildren live 1200 miles away but I will talk with them on the phone, which will make my day. My husband and I will have a nice dinner out and I simply plan to relax and enjoy a quiet day at home. Be blessed, Kathy

Kathy P said...

I'll spend the day on the phone with all the special women in my life - my mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, and grand-daughter. In between phone calls, I just might do a little sewing:)
Thanks for the chance to win!

Mom2RyandSis said...

Every year on Mother's Day we have a picnic with my Grandmother! Thanks for the chance to win!

Laura said...

I am hoping to go over to my daughter's house for a delicious Mother's Day brunch.

LJ said...

My 3 kids and their families will be coming here for a grill-feast. With 8 little grands, it will be wild and crazy!! This Grandma will be one tired chick when it's all over. Ahhhh....

Brenda said...

Oh my, no plans yet. But I do think I will be a new grandma for the 7th time by Mothers day...I think that will carry over for weeks.

Cecilia said...

I am going to my daughter and granddaughter's house to visit for a few days. It will be the first time in quite a few years that I am able to be with them on Mothers Day.

Margaret said...

Since my kids live quite a distance away and neither have the time or money to visit I will probably spend the day going to church and then out to dinner somewhere with my DH.

Sarah said...

Brunch at one of my favorite spots in our 'hood then family time on the back porch with kids, husband and pup. An hour of uninterrupted reading would be awesome too! :)

MickeyT. said...

My mother's Day plans include celebrating the day on Monday with my daughter. We are both taking a day off work to get pedis and do some serious spring shopping - should be lots of fun!

cyclejane said...

Breakfast in bed!

It is also my birthday this year, so the fambly is going out for dinner.

What a generous giveaway. Mother's Day isn't quite the same since my mother died but I'm sure my girls will make it special for me.

Build a screen porch - only females armed with hammers while men BBQ and grandkids play or help.

Cherise said...

I have no plans so far. Maybe just stay home and relax! :)

My kid's are all away, my mother and my m-i-l are both deceased. Guess I'll have to make mother's day fun for myself! I'd love to win the giveaway.

Every year my kids make me breakfast in bed. I have to pretend I'm asleep after all the noise they make in the kitchen so I don't ruin the "surprise" when they bring me the breakfast they've made! The rest of the day we just spend together and they spoil me! I have the BEST family! :) Thanks for the opportunity to win such a GREAT giveaway!!! :)

Vicky K said...

Crafty Tokyo Mama said...

I hope I can spend mother's day sewing! If DD makes me breakfast, that would be even better!

Gwen said...

On Mother's Day, my sister's and I always visit with my Mom and give her our gift. Many years ago, we decided to pool what we were planning to spend-- that way we could get a nicer gift. More years than not, we get Mom something special for her yard--- she loves her flower gardens and has the greenest thumb I've ever seen! :-) This year we are getting her two Drift roses -- a white and a pink one-- and large pots to put them in. I cherish every day with my Mom-! Thank you for the chance to win this incredible prize!!! :-)

I will be celebrating not only Mother's Day, my Brother-in-Law's birthday, his and my sister's wedding anniversary, and the anniversary of my graduation from Graduate school but ALSO my niece and my father's 3rd birthdays! He got a new immune system 3 years ago through a Bone Marrow Transplant and so we celebrate that day as well, which just happens to be the day Emily was also born :)

Debra Lee said...

Since I'm not a mother my schedule is wide open!

SassyCathy said...

CELEBRATE! We'll probably make a shopping trip for Mom and us girls (52,50,49) to the local area "Boutique" thrift shops (like GW, WM and others, and any yard sales we might see along the way - discount stores like Walmart, Sams, maybe even the $ Tree or $ General.
We LOVE the thrill of the hunt and challenge to find the best for the least amount possible!
Lunch out somewhere fun.
Love the giveaway you're having - SUCH FUN!
Thank you for the chance to win.

Mother's day at our house starts with gourmet breakfst in bed, (usually soggy cereal and half toasted bread made by the kids!), and handcraftd cards that I cherish, with macaroni necklaces, and lovely poems.......sigh...it's perfect. With any luck I might get a fabric shop gift card from my hubby and all will be 100% perfect! Thank you for your lovely inspiration here, and great giveaway! <3

As little as possible! :) Except for a call to my Mum, of course, but mostly it'll just be relaxing and hopefully a nice breakfast at home.

I love to hear about great online shops. I'm going ot hop over to check it out.

My mom loves plants, so my brother and I always get her some hanging baskets for the porch and, if the weather is decent, spend part of the day helping her in the garden.
