If you are a regular reader of mon petit lyons, welcome back! If you are new here for the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day, welcome and I do hope we can get to know each other. First things first, here is what I am giving away:
This is a fat quarter bundle of Wee Woodland by Keiki for Moda + an extra yard of ABC in Turquoise. I hope you like it, I've been hoarding it for a while and figured it was high time to share it.
Okay, so now on to the about me stuff. I live in Charlotte, NC with my college sweetheard (UNC - go Tar Heels!) and my two little boys. When my husband has to work long hours or the kids are napping (almost never happens anymore) you can find me up in my little studio, sewing machine humming away. This blog is mostly about what I'm sewing, but also some recipes, garden stuff and kids art/activities. I have serious project ADD. Right now I am finishing the binding on a quilt for a good friend expecting a baby girl very soon:
The Patchwork Prism Quilt Along is another Work In Progress:
As is the Farmer's Wife Quilt Along (which I feel like I'll never finish):
In my garden this week hydrangeas are in full bloom:
In my kitchen I know we are just on the cusp of the local tomato season, which means Watermelon and Tomato Salad with Lime Vinaigrette.
and making glorious messes with liquid watercolors and shaving cream:
I hope that gave you a little glimpse into the goings-on here at mon petit lyons. You can see my finished quilts, recipes, or tutorials tabs at the top if you are curious to see more.

ReplyDeleteI have so many favorite fabric lines. I love Nightshade by Tula Pink.
ReplyDeleteYour hydrangeas are beautiful! This summer I am going to spend as many days on the lake in our pontoon as possible.
ReplyDeleteLots of time spent outside and by water
ReplyDeleteOne of the ways my son and I stay busy in summer is to go to garage sales. We can usually find half a dozen within walking distance most weekends, so he rides in the stroller and enjoys the view and I get good exercise. We always find lots of fun bargains (he got some dinosaurs and a hot wheels car for a quarter this weekend!)
ReplyDeleteLots of playing outside with no agenda. Whatever comes up... making fairy houses, playing with water, entertaining the dog, running, jumping, dancing, leaping, singing, digging for worms, planting and picking and snacking.
ReplyDeletemyyearinhaiku at gmail dot com
I can't choose just one fabric line that I love, I love to mix and match through them all.
ReplyDeleteThis summer I am planning on hitting the beach as often as possible and heading out (hopefully) for some whitewater kayaking trips. Also, I will be doing fun arts and crafts (or craps - their wording) with my nephews, 2 and 6.
We will be camping up a storm, hitting the zoo, and heading to the Field Museum in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics :)
Thanks
Thanks for the giveaway! Something fun . . .we're going to Tahoe at the end of the summer, so it's a ways away, but still fun!s

ReplyDeletealyson (at) hastyquilter.net
What a very generous giveaway! Thank you for a chance to win. This year we let the boys plant some their own veggies aside from our garden. So far they are doing onions and tomatoes. Oh and they really love to help me with all my herbs. They are mystified with the magic of planting, watching it grow, and then getting to eat it. They are eager to try new food which is music to this moms ears. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for a chance to win!!
Happy following,
Ashley @ Thereisnoplacelikehomemade
Oh hard question! Summers at our house are all about whimsy! Whatever strikes the mood that day :) The sense of freedom encourages a lot of creativity and we try things we've never done and rely on old favorites when we cant come up with something enspiring :)
ReplyDeletegreat fabrics! i'm swooning over field study at the moment :) among so many others, of course!
ReplyDeleteThis summer, we are going to the beach (A LOT). I also plan on taking my boys on more "adventures" where we explore new woods or new parks or different neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
With friends expecting babies and getting married this summer I have a lot of party planning and handmade goodness to get cracking on! but I love it! :) :)
ReplyDeletethank you for your giveaway, this fabric is adorable!!!
I am so looking forward to summer...no more getting up and rushing around to get my daughter to school on time. My daughter turns 16 this summer and she wants to learn how to sew so I think our summer is going to be spent in front of the sewing machine during the mornings. This fabric would go toward her first quilt that I'm going to help her make.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance
shel704 at aol dot com
I plan on being in the pool alot this summer! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLet's see... things to do.. When my girls were young we did scavenger hunts (lunch bag with things to find written on the outside or pictures draw on outside), or circle cut out of cardboard with a circle cut out of the center - send it flying outside and when it lands see what is in the inner circle. Hope you have a great summer.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you have so many great projects!! I love the hydrangas too (can't seem to ever spell them right). The patchwork prism looks wonderful! I need to sew mine together before it falls off my sewing table!
ReplyDeleteSomething we do with our kids (3 and 2) is take them bowling. It's really cheap and takes at least an hour and they absolutely love it! Another thing outside that we do is get a bowl of water and paintbrushes and then they can "paint" the deck. Usually they end up spilling the water after a while but they have fun!
Lovely giveaway too!
We will be spending a week up visiting my Mom this summer. It is always fun to spend time with my Mom! :)
ReplyDeletebrooke at richardchurch dot com
I will be spending the summer making quilts for my twin granddaughters who are due in September.

ReplyDeleteOver the summer we are hoping to back to galveston for a bit. Other than that I am just hoping we can find some fun things to do without getting overheated lol.
We're moving cross country - PA to AZ!! I'll be sewing as much as I can before my machine gets packed!
ReplyDeleteFrancine

My daughter just asked for a turqouise quilt -- that's what I would use your fabric for. And that's what I'll be working on this summer.
ReplyDeleteI would make a picnic blanket in the hope that we would get some good weather to be able to go on a picnic

ReplyDeleteI am off to follow your blog now!
Thanks for a lovely giveaway!
lmchishaffer@aol.com
Oh my - I love all your works-in-progress! And it looks like you're having a lot of fun at your place, with the good food and creating and whatnot... We are moving house this summer - in just a month - 500 miles away. And then, the week after? We're driving all the way back to New England to spend our week's summer vacation with my family. Crazy how the timing on things doesn't work out so well sometimes, isn't it? But it's likely something we'll all laugh about down the road... xo
ReplyDeleteI'd love a chance to win! I have so many baby and little one quilts to make, this would be just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis summer I'm having a baby! Baby #6, the first boy! is due in July. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'll be spending time with family at the beach! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteRight now I am in love with Nightshade by Tula Pink :D
ReplyDeleteThis summer I'm looking forward to watching my daughter walk :D (She's on the cusp) and spending the summer with the kids home, we enjoy hiking, swimming, bike riding, sewing, crafts, Wii games, movies, long sleepovers, and popcorn, with giggles and hugs :D
I have so many nieces and nephews having babies....so I'm sure a baby quilt would be perfect for this fabric. I hope to get lots of sewing done this summer and just spend time with my grown children. I love visiting those parks with my grandkids that have water shooting out of ground....usually found in city areas. Any chance you have one near you....they are great fun on a hot day.
ReplyDeleteI do love your blog. I stumbled across it a while ago during another SMS giveaway. My kids have been busy lately but some of their favorite activities lately have been painting the sidewalk with water( I just fill up a bowl with water give them each a paintbrush and they go to town) They aso love when I make a racetrack on the living room floor. This by far is my favorite all it takes is some masking tape. I tape a track to the floor they pay for hours racing around with their cars and then i pull the masking tape up and dispose of it. Fun for under a dollar. Thanks for the giveaway I would love to win.
ReplyDeleteI'll be sewing/quilting - have 2 daughters getting married (Sept 12 & March 13)
ReplyDeletedatepen@yahoo(dot)com
We will be swimming and sewing! Get your kids hooked on reading and you'll never hear "Mom, I'm bored!"

ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous bundle! There are so many, many things I could do with it. Burp cloths, bibs, a quilt....
ReplyDeleteThis fabric would be perfect for a baby quilt for my youngest grandniece, the adorable Emmie. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is lovely! THis summer I'm going to be having a baby so I'm keeping things low key!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, my BEST fun activity will be finishing up the packing of my house and finally getting it sold. We have a contract and a closing date set, but until that time finally rolls around, I'm not going to believe it's real. :) I enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to the beach this summer and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the very generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis summer I will be hanging out outside as much as possible with my two kids, letting them go back and forth between playing in the dirt and playing in the water (which is a great way to keep them busy, by the way!).
I also plan on making more little things like coin purses and tote bags, and your fabric would definitely be incorporated into those projects :)
I can't wait to sew and spend more time as a family this summer. The fabric is just lovely...thanks so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! I'm going to hopefully be buying a new sewing machine and finishing a quilt for myself finally! :)

I would make a quilt top with these beautimous fabrics! I visited your finished quilts, and have to say, I LOVE the tickertape quilt. I've only made tickertape mug rugs, but that style is SO much FUN! I also really appreciate your Sunburst quilt...stunning!
ReplyDeleteOh, the fabric would be a quilt -- possible wonky squares w/in squares. This summer we are going to the beach in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania Dutch country, NYC, Boston, probably DC, and anyplace else in New England that I can drive to (and possibly pick my own fruit!)
ReplyDeleteWe are attending two of my nephews graduations from high school and we're going camping in June. And, we're going to move! (I hope!) Thank you for a chance to win. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I want to eat that salad RIGHT NOW! This summer, I'm working at libraries around Rhode Island teaching art classes to teens and tweens. I'm also visiting my mom in Pennsylvania, going to the beach as often as possible (hurray for the ocean state!) and taking a women's weightlifting class on Friday mornings.

ReplyDeletemattvaleiler at gmail dot com
What a fabulous bundle of fabric! This summer will be spent mostly out in the sunshine with my 6 grandchildren! Probably being Pirates, or Secret Agents :) The 4 oldest are all boys and they are always up for adventure. I love making them costumes to go along with our theme :) My 2 youngest are girls (finally) that will both be 1 year old this summer, so adventuring will have to wait a bit for them.
ReplyDeleteTHanks so much for offering this!
The fabric looks perfect for a quilt!! I cannot wait for more free time (aka sewing time)!
ReplyDeleteI live in Michigan so I hope to spend some time at the beach with a good book. At home there will be a lot of gardening and as much sewing as I can work in.

Hope it helps, most libraries have storytime once a week and summer reading programs for all ages. Mine all loved going and learned to love reading.

ReplyDeleteKeeping kids busy over the summer...bubbles, "painting" the house or sidewalk or whatever with water, digging in a pile of sand/dirt.
ReplyDeleteSummer and kids, take them to the beach. That's the only thing that works for mine, although not all the time. I'm thinking of buying them a ticket to some other continent on summer, but something tells me my husband won't approve.

ReplyDeleteI plan on making a "kid wash" this summer! You make arches using pvc pipe and drilling holes and hanging sponges to make your own inexpensive water park at home! Look it up on Family Fun if you want some instructions!!! :) mjalfano19@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWe live near the water so I'm looking forward to going to the beach. Late afternoon is my favorite time. The sun isn't as hot and everyone else has gone home and I can feel like I have the beach to myself.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to hanging out with both of my boys all day this summer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics, thank you. I would love to make some small dresden plates and lots of pincushions with the fabric, both of which I am addicted to at the minute.

I would love to make some patchwork tops for my girls with this fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

what a wonderful give a way. thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeletei love what the boys are doing with paints and shaveing cream. i put in in shaving cream and swirl it around with a toothpick and put on top a piece of cardstock cut 4x51/4
with a paper towel i wipe off the shaving cream. the card stock picks up the colors of the ink. i let it dry and use it for the back ground in making a greeting card. originals all the way.

I'm in love of your hydrangeas - I've always wanted some in my garden! I'm looking forward to my girls being off of school for 2 whole months - so much mommy-daughter time!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric, thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd use the fabric to make patchwork book bags
Wish I could grow hydrangeas - they are so beautiful
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is so pretty! I think I would make an apron :) I love turquoise x
ReplyDeleteI am lucky - my 6yo likes watching me use the sewing machine so she sits and handsews while I am sewing myself. I just hope the novelty lasts through the summer!
ReplyDeleteYour hydrangeas are lovely. My 'garden' is a basil plant in a plastic pot on top of the dishwasher. My favorite collection of fabric is Hello Pilgrim. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletethis fabric would be perfect for a baby quilt for my second baby cousin! the first one already has a quilt in the works, but poor little chris has no handmade presents from me yet...

Great prize! We are going to Great Wolf Lodge and having a baby! liz.taylor24@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful fabric! Your salad looks great, and I am jealous of your hydrangeas - weird weather this year means mine will not bloom. My kid (3) can "garden" (ie, dig holes in the ground, play in the mud and pull weeds) for hours and hours, so that might be worth a go: give them a little corner of their own. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWell Id probably make a quilt of some sorts for a child even though that abc fabric would make cute curtains if there was enough:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric! would love to win! well this summer i have a trip to Netherlands planned, to attend a birthday party of a 2 year old! it will be fun!
ReplyDeleteAh, super cute! Thanks for the giveaway. I'm not much help on the fun things to do front; my family is packing up and moving across the country this summer, which doesn't seem like fun to me. Maybe when we get settled, we'll have time to go on some new adventures outside and pack a picnic to eat along the way :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a busy summer, but looking forward to sewing time with hopefully some new fabrcis ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the Curious Nature fabric line. Thanks for a nice giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI hope to spend a lot of the summer camping, that will keep the kiddos entertained! The rest, hopefully sewing and leaving the kiddos to entertain themselves...or each other. Great giveaway, I love that fabric line!
