Hi! What pretty fabrics! My favorite relaxation activity does not include any cleaning ;) Unless it's cleaning out the craft stores of great deals! Which that, I must say is a fave relaxation thing for me!

Pat Merkle said...

Very pretty fabrics. I would have to say my favorite relaxation activity would be free motion quilting.

Kathy P said...

Love the saturated colors in those fabrics - gorgeous! I love to fish, and fondle fabrics for relaxation, although not at the same time :)

That Clever Clementine said...

For me, it's knitting. Oh, wait. I mean sewing. Oh ... erhem ... no, no, it's knitting.

Well, but maybe ....

I love embroidery while watching TV in the evenings with my hubby!

Shannon said...

Sewing and quilting is fun, not so much relaxing. For that I sit in front of the tv at night and watch a show on USA

vwlady said...

My favorite way to relax...hummmm, let me think??? QUILTING, of course! A day without quilting is like a day without sunshine! Great giveaway..very generous! Thanks!

T said...

Bobbin lace making or reading

Anna said...

I knit, or read. I wish I could do both at the same time! Thanks for the give away!

Well, I wouldn't call it fondling, but I love to gaze at my fabrics and stroke them softly LOL!!

PollythePatchworker said...

Julia relaxing for me is spending time in my sewing nook. A great way to unwind at the end of a day.

Kate said...

I love reading and also planning things, like a garden or my next knitting project.

KD-Quilts said...

I veg out in front of the tv with some knitting when it's time to relax.

Cassandra said...

Gorgeous fabric! My choice of relaxation is books, books, and more books. Maybe with a quilt to snuggle under and some hot cocoa. :)

Lauren said...

TV and knitting :)

Heather said...

Watching one of my favorite tv shows, or browsing sewing and quilting blogs.

Seeing the house clean is relaxing. ;) Seriously, I like to chill by either reading or doing some hand-work, embroidery is my most current amusement. Also quilting.

Patty said...

Sarah said...

What lovely fabric! Favourite choice for relaxing would be stroking, folding and reorganising stash... or handquilting with perle and a good movie.

Tiffany said...

When I want to relax, I tend to blog surf. Or crosstitch. Or eat. :)

Mego said...

My favorite form of relaxation is making BLOCKS. Not quilts but BLOCKS. Then I kit them up...and throw them in the box. I could probably finish 20 quilts if I would JUST put them together. The GOOD think is if I need a quick quilt for charity I just grab a bag...the BAD thing is the box is awfully FULL! Thanks for the chance!

Nadine said...

Knitting, usually knitting

Karen said...

Call me crazy, but I love to Steam-clean my carpet. It is truly a Zen moment for me.

Definitely quilting. I block everything else out and just quilt. Thanks

Average Quilter said...

I had a friend tell me once that my whole demeanor changed when I sat down at the sewing machine. It doesn't matter what I'm doing as long as it's sewing

Eema-le said...

Hmm...this is a touch one, because it changes so often, but right now it's definitely knitting.

Anonymous said...

My favourite ways to relax probably depend on the season, it's winter and rather cold, so right now,... taking a long very hot bath and reading a good book. But in the summer, my favourite relaxation method is going for a walk around the stormwater pond in my neighbourhood. It's full of ducks and other birds and ringed with trees and it feels like stepping out of the city and into the country. Love it!
