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!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabrics. I would have to say my favorite relaxation activity would be free motion quilting.
ReplyDeleteLove the saturated colors in those fabrics - gorgeous! I love to fish, and fondle fabrics for relaxation, although not at the same time :)
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's knitting. Oh, wait. I mean sewing. Oh ... erhem ... no, no, it's knitting.
ReplyDeleteWell, but maybe ....

ReplyDeleteI love embroidery while watching TV in the evenings with my hubby!
ReplyDeleteSewing 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
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteMy 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!
ReplyDeleteBobbin lace making or reading
ReplyDeleteI knit, or read. I wish I could do both at the same time! Thanks for the give away!

Thanks for the giveaway! I love reading to relax.
ReplyDeleteI relax in the evenings by hand quilting by the fire.
ReplyDeleteTaking a hot bath is my favorite time to relax
ReplyDeleteWell, I wouldn't call it fondling, but I love to gaze at my fabrics and stroke them softly LOL!!
ReplyDeleteJulia relaxing for me is spending time in my sewing nook. A great way to unwind at the end of a day.
ReplyDeleteI love reading and also planning things, like a garden or my next knitting project.
ReplyDeleteI veg out in front of the tv with some knitting when it's time to relax.

ReplyDeleteTV and knitting :)
ReplyDeleteWatching one of my favorite tv shows, or browsing sewing and quilting blogs.

ReplyDeleteWhen I want to relax, I tend to blog surf. Or crosstitch. Or eat. :)
ReplyDeleteMy 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!
ReplyDeleteKnitting, usually knitting
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy, but I love to Steam-clean my carpet. It is truly a Zen moment for me.

Probably sewing with a favorite show on the tv. These fabrics are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy 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!
