What is your favorite part of quilting – fabric selection, piecing, quilting, binding – and why?
Wow. I have so many favorite parts of quilting. I really enjoy the cutting, piecing and even binding, but if forced to pick a favorite, I would have to choose the fabric selection process. Picking the color palette and fabrics, laying out the contrasting prints and textures - I just love that part.
What sewing accomplishment are you most proud of?
I would have to say, finishing my Union Jack quilt this summer. It's been a long time work-in-progress and I'm so happy it's done. I'm glad I had the London Olympics as my deadline motivation.
But since that tradition is still evolving I thought I would share one of our very established Thanksgiving traditions: my Grandma's Pumpkin Chiffon Pie recipe (not pictured). This pie is a light, fluffy, chilled version of a classic Thanksgiving flavor. My grandma passed away 9 years ago and my mom has continued that tradition every year. One of these days I need to make one myself so that I can carry on the tradition. Here is that recipe. Even if you're not a traditional 'pie' person (I'm not either) you might like this one!

Happy Cottage Quilter
I have to agree that finding the online quilting community has brought so much inspiration and so many wonderful cyber friends. I've been quilting, on and off, for about 25 years, but connecting with quilters from all over the world has been awesome. I think that I enjoy quilting for the Fall season as I love the warm rich colors that radiate Autumn. Thanks so much for the giveaway.

I love to sew for the current season, the colors in the garden and neighborhood always inspire me!

Halloween is my most favorite holiday, and it's also my favorite to sew for. It's less stressful than sewing for Christmas, because that usually involves deadlines for gifts. But Halloween stuff is just so laid back!n Thanks for the chance to win!

What a lovely sounding recipe, thanks! I'll have to try that one - maybe for Thanksgiving. 🙂
Holli
I love to sew for any holiday, but I always seem to finish after the holiday has passed . . . Maybe because I don't start sewing until just a few days before! Thank you for the chance to win.
Karen in Breezy Point
Yum, I love anything pumpkin, so I will give your recipe a try--thanks! Our quilt guild donates place-mats that are given out with Christmas Day Meals on Wheels--a bit of holiday cheer for shut-ins. It's fun to come up with a design to make someone else's day a little happier.
Sonia B
Well, my WIP pile would suggest that I love to think about sewing for Christmas . . . now to get some of them finished. 😉 Beautiful contributions. Thanks for the chance.
Lyn
I try to give everyone in my family a handmade Christmas ornament each year, so I tend to do my handwork for Christmas (starting back in the summer, so I can get it done on time!) Sometimes they are not sewn...this year, oddly enough, I am knitting christmas light ornaments. 🙂 They also make great cat toys!
The Amateur Quilter (Mike Pearson)
Hmmm... I am doing my first holiday project ever right now!!! Christmas quilt. But, I have to say I am looking forward to making something for Halloween!!! I'm just waiting till after October 31st this year so all the fabric will go on sale! 😉

I love to make quilts for others - that's my favorite holiday sewing - birthdays, "I hug you" quilts, Christmas, graduations, "just saw this fabric and thought of you",...
Terry Kessinger
Family traditions and recipes are the best, and we love pumpkin anything, so I look forward to trying yours! Thank you for the giveaway. Our trees are just now losing their leaves and this makes me look forward to the holidays even more!

Laura
Fantastic giveaway and thanks for the yummy recipe!
Sandra
I love quilting anytime. Just whenever the inspiration hits me. So, it can be all years around. Any and all of the seasons. I quilt because I love it and it makes me feel good about giving a quilt to a loved one anytime of the year. Moda's Sweet Celebration is one book that has captured everyone's heart. So, thank you for the chance to win and I am sure that all of us has a project in

Goody Family
I love sewing/piecing (I have yet to try to do my own machine quilting) any time of year, but especially through fall and winter. The weather is colder, my family is less busy with all of the summer activities having come to an end, and it just seems like a great time of year to bake and sew. 🙂
Gwen
Your union jack quilt is just gorgeous, I can see why you are so proud of it.<br />Love the colors, it is so nicely done. Thanks for sharing your pumpkin pie<br />recipe, it looks to be very similar to the family recipe my mother makes at<br />holiday time. Have a wonderful day and thanks for the chance to win.
Ramona
I can't wait to see your gratitude quilt. I love that idea and want to make one for myself! It is always good to remember what we are thankful for. Thanks for the lovely give away.

Christmas is my favorite time for sewing. The pumpkin pie sounds yummy.

I love sewing for fall! I have 3 fall quilts on the go right now!
Lindsay_Loris
This is my first Christmas as a quilter and I can't wait to make my Christmas quilt! But then I will need to make a new one for spring and then another for summer...need I say more?! Making something to reflect the seasons is so special, and I love that bringing quilts out for particular holidays or seasons will be part of our family's traditions. Thanks for your inspiring and helpful
marie
Will have to try your gramma's pie, it sounds wonderful. When our winter weather comes it will be a great time to learn something new. Thanks for the chance to win.
Sorcha girl
Thanks for participating in the Moda blog, Amy. It is a good way for me to explore the world of 'Blog'. Your Union Jack quilt is very stylish and I love the mix of color.<br /><br />I love to sew quilts for babies. Smaller in size, they are easier to machine quilt here at home. I'm looking forward to reading the new Sweet Celebrations!
Rebecca
That pie sounds yummy :)<br />ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
Johanna
I have actually sewn a lot for Halloween! But, I always make sure there is a least one gift for Christmas that I made for my kids. Sometimes I sew and sometimes I crochet.

Lovely! I enjoy making baby blankets.
Shera Cookston
This is so FUN! Thanks for participating - I can't wait to try your pie, it sounds DELICIOUS!! I love to sew for all seasons. In the spring I find myself in the mood to use brighter colors and in the fall I lean more toward deep reds and browns and then, of course, at Christmas it is impossible to pass up all the cute Christmas-y fabrics out there!! Thanks again!!
Mimi
Love the idea for your Gratitude Quilt!! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome book and a Moda pre-cut!!

I;ve been sewing for ALL the holidays! My DS & DDIL bought a huge dining room table & requested a large tablerunner for EVERY holiday & season. So I'm working on Halloween right now but going to make it reversible so I hit Thanksgiving too. Pumpkins on one side & witches & bats on the other!. Great blog hop - thanks for participating.

Pontos da Flávia
Wow, I found the autumn colored quilt amazing! Can you tell which colors were used? I just loved it!
Sara
I love to sew for Christmas! It's my goal to give at least one handmade gift to each of my children every year. Sewing for boys can be tough. And then it's hard to narrow it down for girls.
Becca
I always find your blog so inspiring! I recently built up a stash of vintage looking Halloween fabric and I can't wait to start my Halloween quilt. Yes, I'm a little behind but I need to finish my current WIP first.
MimiQuilts
I love making Halloween costumes for my girls. For quilty projects, though, my favorite holiday to sew for is Christmas!
Shar
I love the spring time. There are bight colora and fun fabrics.
Linda
My mother always made pumpkin chiffon pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I haven't had it since she passed away 19 years ago. It is my favorite pie for the holidays and now I may have to make it this year. It is so different from traditional pumpkin pie, yum!
thecalicocorner
I am really torn between whether it is more fun to sew autumn or christmas projects....guess we'll have to call it a tie!!! Love the giveaway!!
alszambrano
Although I was a 4-H'er as a kid, I've only recently begun sewing again - some quilting (gifts for new babies has been popular with me)and things for my home (curtains, wall-hangings and the like). I'm getting ready to start a Christmas gift, so I suppose that would make my favorite holiday to sew for Christmas, as I've never sewn for any other holiday.
Jo
I like sewing for Christmas, things like pillowcases for the children and handmade gifts for friends.
Carla
My favourite holiday to sew for would be Christmas . Thanks
Olivia Hascher
Thanks for the recipe and giveaway! Since I'm currently awaiting my newest order of Christmas fabric, I'd have to say it's my favorite!! (If only because it means I get to pick out a new selection of fabric!!!)
B Greene
I am anxious to sew some small Christmas presents this year - hmmmm... need to get started on that 🙂
Rachel Booth
Wow!! This book looks great! I love Christmas!! 🙂 oh, and birthdays! those are holidays, too, right?!
Zoe
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays too. I love spending time with my family, eating delicious food, making a list of all the things I'm most thankful for.
Tracy
I'm looking forward to seeing your gratitude quilt! And I love your Union Jack quilt, so beautiful! I'm always inspired by you!
jmniffer
The more I see of this book the better it looks! I like to sew for Christmas, so many fun projects to give as gifts. Thanks for sharing and for the chance at your giveaway.
holly | bijou lovely
Congrats Amy! That Love Notes wall hanging is super cute!
Gwen
Pumpkin Chiffon Pie!!! I'm not a real "pie person", but this sounds Heavenly!! I have got to try this recipe-- it'd be perfect to take to my Mom's for Thanksgiving! My grandma 's traditional Thanksgiving dish was her cornbread dressing, which my Mom took over when Grandma was no longer able to do it.. There is no recipe-- and I've watched and tried to duplicate
BizyStitches
Thanks for being in a fun blog hop. I've enjoyed every day. Wish it could go on forever. This looks like an amazing book. I like to sew for fall. I think the colors of fall just grab me. Thanks for the chance to win.

I've only sewed for one holiday so far. It was Christmas and I made personalized place mats, quilt block ornaments, and stockings. AND I managed to finish them all before 12/24!
terrieannie
hanksgiving is my favorite holiday also, if for no other reason than because it has not become "merchandized" like all the other big holidays. It doesn't hurt that pumpkin pie is my absolute favorite pie and I love turkey and dressing/stuffing also. I'm ready for some right now!<br /><br />
Sara's stampin cards
pumpkin chiffon pie?! wow! That sounds like a yumilicious treat! I love your Union Jack quilt. Gorgeous! thanks for the giveaway chance.

I love to sew gifts for all holidays. I also make some holiday table runners and such, mostly for Christmas and fall holidays, but also for July 4th. I'm looking forward to this book!
Dr. CH
Okay, that Thanksgiving quilt and photo is divine. Thank you for sharing your ideas with your readers!
Jessica Pyykkonen
I don't really have a favorite holiday to sew for, but I love sewing/quilting for other. Making a friend a baby's quilt, a quilted table runner for a family member, or a quilted throw for a wedding gift. I love giving something quilted or sewn as a gift any time of year.
MugglePuggle
I just began sewing in August, so I have not made anything holiday related. I do think that I would really like sewing Christmas related items, stockings look like a lot of fun to make 🙂
Alexis
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I love anything pumpkin flavored so that'll definitely be added to my "to bake" list. Thanks for the chance to win.
Ruth Hamilton
The book and the chiffon pie both look delicious - can't wait to try both!

Hildy
This quilt in the box looks really good ... can't wait to see the whole quilt;-) Thanks and greetings from germany, Hildy<br />hildy(at)ebertzeder(dot)de
Anna
That chiffon pie looks like a winner. If my MIL wasn't already on pie duty, I might make this for Thanksgiving this year. Do births count as holidays, because they should. But they/baby showers are my favorite occasion to quilt for.
Lee
Thank you for the lovely recipe and I adore Thanksgiving and love to sew Fall themed items and quilts. thanks again!
Kelly
Congrats on the projects in the book! Looks wonderful. I am working on my second quilt to gift to two special people. Sewing will probably continue right on up to Christmas Eve.
Cassandra
The quilt in the box is so pretty. I love the quilting design.<br /><br />Thanks for the chance to win!
{ HeatherK @ AReformedHeath'n }
I'm excited about this book and the projects! Right now I'm so new to the scene that I most enjoy watching the new fabric collections released so regularly. I'm trying to do a litte project for each season and then maybe I'll start bigger seasonal quilt projects eventually ...
Gale, Ky quilter
I am happily working on a few quilts right now and need to start more. Love quilting and sewing - my life in threads. Your recipe looks yummy. Thanks for a chance to win this book. 🙂
Julie
Just having a few minutes here and there to sew/quilt is my love. My son-in-law's grandma asked me when I find the time to quilt -- I told her I have to make the time. I have all the supplies to make your dresden quilt--it reminds me of peppermint candies and would be great for Christmas. Thanks for a chance to win and I love your blog and read it faithfully~
Rebeckah Austin
I love sewing for christmas. I made 85% of gifts last year. I don't know how I will do that agasin this year but I will try to make at least 1 item per person 🙂
Lisa
I like to make table runners for each holiday. Now I'm working on a summer one for several friends. Yes, I'm a bit behind as it is fall here.
mama dub
I enjoy sewing quilts for all of the holidays and seasons. Christmas and Halloween are probably my favorites. Thanks for the chance to win - the book looks great!

Denise Degnan
I like fall colors, my house is basically in the fall color palette and I'd say this could have something to do with missing fall here in sunny/hot Florida. The book looks like great fun.
robin chapa
This book looks wonderful! Can't wait to see if for myself!<br />~Robin<br />welchrobin@Hotmail.com
Katy
That pie looks divine! I love to sew for Christmas. I just taught myself to sew on a machine this July. I used videos and awesome blogs like yours. I just made a long list of Christmas gifts to make! I better get started. Christmas is around the corner!
bruinbr
Love the wall hanging and what a sweet way to remember your grandmother every year! Thanks for the recipe!
Miss Jean
I can't wait to see this book in person. I have more 4th of July type quilts than any other so I guess that's my favorite.
Nancy
Your recipe sounds so good - I LOVE pumpkin!
Becky S.
I love to sew for Christmas, but I always seem to run out of time before I get everything done.<br />Thanks for the chance to win. The Sweet Celebrations book looks great!
Lynn
I love the idea of a gratitude quilt. I'd never heard of this before. Thanks for the recipe, it looks delicious!
Laurel
Looks like a great book. I just finished a couple of Halloween wall hangings. I guess that's what happens when you don't have costumes to sew anymore.
paige
Yum...Pumpkin! One of my favorite things about the Fall is all the pumpkin flavored foods and drinks!
Susan C
I love sewing for Christmas! There is something special about giving a gift that has been made just or that person, a gift from the heart.
SewLittleToSay
I just love to sew whatever the time of year.
Kala
I truly enjoy following your blog. Your recipe made me think of an afghan that I'm currently working on. It's the color of pumpkin pie with a strip of cream.
Di~
I love that this isn't a baked pie. Question: The sugar to go in the egg yolks mixture, is that the brown sugar? Do you use all of the white sugar in the egg whites?<br />Thanks for the giveaway!
maggi
I have made sewn things for every holiday! I most enjoy making special Christmas things (usually to give as gifts), and I treasure the handmade items that friends have given me over the years.
Nita
My favourite parts of quilting are browsing the books and magazines and websites, dreaming about the next project to start. Then I like to do hand quilting. Those are my two best parts.

I can't wait to see the whole quilt! It looks so beautiful. I love sewing for whatever holiday is next!

I like to sew for birthdays - holidays are usually too crunched for time and birthdays are so fun to make a special project.
A.J. Dub. (Amy)
Amy, My grandmother made this exact same pie and it is a tradition with my family too. <br />I wonder where the recipe originated? Maybe Knox gelatin?
Abbigail
I wish I had some cook me a yummy dinner! And it's a good thing your Mom knows how to make that yummy pie but you are right. Don't let the recipe get away from the family! <br />hulseybg@gmail.com
RaeLyn
Love your blog Amy. You are always so inspiring!
CJ
Pumpkin Chiffon pie sounds great! I wish I had time to make all the things I have 'collected' from online inspiration! Quilts, cookies, dresses, purses, pies...

Greetings from the UK! I love your Union Jack quilt and I plan to make a Union Jack cushion or a lap quilt soon. I also love your colour spectrum HST quilt, plan on making one myself too, but I have a feeling that it will be a long process as I have a super-king size quilt in mind!
Kits Corner
I've only been quilting now for a couple of years but I love it and I now find myself not only building up my stash but collecting books that have lots of fun and amazing patterns to make. So getting this for me would be one more wonderful thing to add to my growing collection.

I love fall and thanksgiving, which is actually a tradition we began when we moved to the US from Belize. We never celebrated it before, since it is an american tradition and I grew up in German Mennonite community.

I'm in the UK, we only really celebrate Christmas, halloween isn't all that big over here generally, so I would have to say Christmas! I sew a little for birthdays too, but definitely more for Christmas.

Hmmm, my back is killing me from standing over my cutting table for most of the day. I wish I could figure out a set-up that allows me to dot down, but I can't seem to get the leverage I need to keep my ruler from slipping. That's all. Happy Wednesday!
Katie
I'm ready to sew quilts when the weather gets cool so I'm getting geared up now. I have fall quilts to work on!<br />Thanks for the chance to win that great new book!
Estelle
I think pumpkin pie is the reason for Thanksgiving. Yum!!!
Mommarock
I love to sew surprise gifts for friends. Things that they were not expecting. Not for a holiday or a birthday, but just because I want to surprise them and maka a day super special for them.
Marcus Deel
We ate Pumpkin Chiffon Pie every year at Thanksgiving, too! And your Union Jack Quilt is my fave!!

Pumpkin pie is not something we have in Australia,but I think I may just have to try this recipe. I do a lot of Christmas sewing. It's a wonderful time of the year. lyn.robyn.smith@gmail.com

I love to sew quilts for people. The last quilt I made for someone for a a friend that had been battling breast cancer. When I top quilted it I put hidden words throughout the quilt like "strength, family, courage, survivor" She absolutely loved it! <br />

Hi Amy!!! Congrats on being in the Sweet Celebrations book! I'm so happy for you! Also, Thanks for a chance to win a copy! My favorite holiday to sew for is ALL of THEM!!! Although, I sure wish I had time to sew for all of them!!! hahaha.
Sandy D
I had to laugh when you talked about not telling people about your "Granny" hobby because I too have felt that way.Belonging to all the blogs that I do you get over these feelings and develop new "friends" who are of all ages and you feel you have something in common.
foodmathquilts
Thanks for the recipe! I like so sew for "just because" rather than a specific holiday - less pressure means I am more likely to enjoy the project and actually finish things!<br /><br />(so ... baby quilts are sometimes shower presents, or "birth" day, and sometimes don't get delivered until the little one is much older!)<br /><br />My summer project was lots of tote bags
Anda W
I love to quilt for any occasion, it is a year round hobby and so addictive that I keep cranking out big and small! awolk at rogers dot com
Christa Marcotte
Every year I think I will make a Halloween quilt but it creeps up on me. Maybe next year!!
VickiT
My most favorite thing to sew for is celebrating a new baby. But as far as holidays, Christmas is my most favorite and thankfully I have a family that loves things someone has made for them which is awesome.

I really like the fall quilt that is shown what a neat way to do the autumn leaves. Thanks for the giveaway.

scottylover
Thanks for the wonderful recipe! Am going to tuck this one away for later. 😛 <br />I have made so many friends over the internet through quilting groups too. Some I have actually met, others, I probably never will, but I know if I have a quilting problem or a "life" issue, they'll be there with answers and support!<br /><br />Sandy A
Amanda
Pumpkin chiffon! I had no idea other people made that!!! It has always been in my family. Until I was 25 I never actually got any, my brothers ate it all. I had always been content with chocolate but now, holy cow why did I wait 25 years before insisting I try some!
Debby
The book will be going on my Christmas wish list for sure!!! What cute quilts
Debbie M
I so need this book--please draw me!! My favorite thing to sew for is me--I'm not being selfish cause i give my projects away--but i do it for the fun of it.
Donna Baker

I quilt throughout the year. I enjoy making gifts to give for Christmas, though the last thing I sewed FOR Christmas was stockings in 1989. It's time for new ones, now that we have a new son-in-law.
Jean
I think Thanksgiving is my favorite. I love to do my binding while snuggling under a soft warm quilt.

Renea
I think this book looks really fun. Thanks for the chance to win it. I like to sew for Fall. The cooler weather just makes me want to snuggle under a new quilt.
Ann in NC
I had to laugh at your "granny" comment. When I was in my late 20s I was getting lots of mail from AARP. My now husband (but wasn't then) said "It's probably because of all of those quilting magazines you get". Even with that comment, we got married and are still married!
Melissa
I love your Union Jacket quilt. I just started quilting this summer and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Oh I will take any holiday as an excuse to sew, though I do like sewing things for Christmas gifts!<br /><br />Thanks for a fun giveaway!
Dora, the Quilter
My grandma made pumpkin chiffon pie too--her recipe is far less detailed than yours--just a list of ingredients. Since she died in 1932, we've been carrying on the tradition for decades (although some years we use a different recipe). I love Thanksgiving--it's a great time to trot out family memories.<br /><br />(Great Union Jack quilt. I could look at it for hours!)

This is such a wonderful blog hop and opportunity to win Sweet Celebrations! Thank you to all you talented gals and Moda! I seem to sew and quilt more around the winter holidays for gift giving, but sometimes that brings on stress meeting deadlines.....I'm a terrible procrastinator. So the time between holidays are really the most fun for me!

A gratitude quilt sounds like a wonderful idea! Ithink I would find the motivation to be more grateful everyday with a gratitude quilt.....life sometimes brings you down to a horrible negative space......need positives 'in our faces'....great idea for a quilt!

I don't sew holiday themed quilts, but I do love the colors of autumn, so that is the time of year I would associate most with my taste.<br />I am a relatively new fan of the moda bake shop "sweets". I could become a layer cake hoarder if I'm not careful!

Coffee Break Whatever
Christmas has always been my favorite holiday to sew and do crafts for. With no kids anymore, it isn't quite as fun, but I am entertaining myself this year by making a quilt for each season/holiday, placemats for each season/holiday and now...a quilt for each of my grand children for their christmas present!

I think Christmas is my favorite-there are so many possibilities with it. Tree skirts, table runners, wall hangings, gifts, etc.

I'm not u huge eating things pumpkin fan. It always looks good and fun with all the pies and cakes and cookies. It even all smells good. I think that recipe sounds great. Like a pumpkin "light" flavor with an old fashioned charm. Might just be right up my alley, thanks for sharing!

I'm really new to quilting, like really new. I've made 8 of one type of quilt, the "simple as pie" with the raw squares sewn on as a grid on a big square (or table runner) and that's the extent of my quilting. I've been sewing all my life, won the Home Economics award twice in high school and minored in clothing and textiles at BYU, but haven't been brave enough to

Heather A
I do like to give handmade gifts though I'm not very good at getting things done for particular occasions. I do manage to finish kind of randomly, though, so I've developed a bit of a reputation for giving gifts more "out of the blue" than when I'm supposed to. It's how I roll ... apparently.
damselflyadventures
I hope to become a really great quilter like you one day 🙂 I love your quilts. The heart quilt at top is too cute but the union jack is pretty awesome! 🙂

Brined turkey is the best, isn't it?
Jen G
I used to love sewing for Halloween, because where I used to work I had to be at work all day long and late into the night. I would miss the whole trick or treating so my making the Halloween costumes was my way of being a part of Halloween night!

I would love the book! As we just celebrated Thanksgiving here in Canada, I appreciate the pie recipe.
