Linda, What a wonderful giveaway!! I have to say that I have several favorite things to do in the summer. One of them being to definitely be outdoors! I long for it all winter. Then of course this is followed closely by reading outside, walking, hiking, and of course quilting (but not outside)... LOL!

C. Michele said...

My grandfather has a garden every year. Gathering up all the goodies is my favorite pastime!

Annette said...

Sweet giveaway. Your items are lovely. My favorite thing to do in summer is ride my bike. DH and I have loved riding together for 33 years now. The most enjoyable exercise and keeps me feeling younger than I am.

Barbara said...

Awesome bag.....love the colors. When school is out.....there is time to spend outside. Water balloons and water guns, swings, watermelon and cooking on the grill but the best part is doing it all with the grandkiddos. And when it gets dark there is lying on a quilt in the freshly cut grass, under the stars.

Alisa said...

Cute bag! In the summer I love the fact that we have no schedule. Favorite past time is whatever we want to do at the spur of the moment. With 4 kids it's really fun to just hop in the car and head on out.

Kristen said...

Favorite summer passtime is reading on a blanket in the park. Thanks for the giveaway!

Sarah or Semmy said...

How pretty this bag is to the eyes. My favorite thing to do in the summertime is to sit out under the huge elm tree in my yard and do hand stitching. But alas, we had the horrible ice storm and lost many of the branches so it no longer makes a good hideaway.

Lisa said...

Right now gardening is my favorite warm weather activity.

hi, What a beautiful bag, Linda. I would love to win this one. My name is Preeta. I have been following your blog since a few weeks now. I got through your blog while browsing, to get some quilting ideas and I fell in love with it.
Well since I live in Oman where summers are extremely hot, we dont have a choice but to stay indoors. So this is the time I spend with all my crafty tools, other than spending time with my family.

Kim said...

Love the bag! My favorite summer pastime is going to the beach and taking a nap there, something about the ocean and the sun.

Jules @ MoonCat Farms said...

Thanks for a great giveaway.

I'd have to say catching up on my reading is one of my favorite summer activities - it gets boiling hot here so staying inside is nice!

~Joann~ said...

Please enter my name in your giveaway. MY favorite thing about summer is the fact that it stays light outside longer. MY husband has a 2 hour commute each way to work and with it being light out later he can actually come home in the light instead of the dark. I also enjoy air conditioning, we get very hot here in the summer.
Blessings,Joann

As a mom of ten, I can tell you it's usually pretty noisy at my house so I particularly relish the early morning quiet on the front porch swing, drinking my cup of coffee and reading. Often, one or two of my younger children will join me, so we will read a favorite story or just sit and watch what's going on in the garden - a mama bluebird looking for a juicy tidbit for her babies, hummingbirds dive-bombing each other, the butterflies visiting our flower beds.

Judy said...

This is a SUPER bag! My favorite thing in the summer is gardening and having lots of flowers. It just makes me feel good.
