It's a treat to now live so close to your great store! After all the years of getting your books I can now see the quilts from them in person. Would love to win this great basket!

I look forward to your emails to see what is new and exciting. I love visiting your store.
Wow...I just found this blog through the fabshophop and you're having a fantastic giveaway! Fingers crossed!
I fell in love with your patterns when I saw Christmas Pickle and in Longmont in September I knew that I had to have the MARY'S? GARDEN cheater panel for one of the three baby quilt I needed to make by March. I usually design my own but chemotherapy slows things dowm - a lot. And now I find that all three new babes will be boys. I turned to Possibilities, immediately, but to my disappointment find no comparable cheater panel for boys: and if YOU don't have one the odds are slim that I'll find anything beyond pale pink or blue anywhere. I'll keep hoping that you have one in the works. It would be great to win - but I'd rather you had cheaters ready for me to choose. Hope to be in Estes Park, again, next summer.
Thanks Lorraine Gray
Love looking through your site for the bunny. Would love to win the basket.

When in Denver several years ago I happened upon your store-what a treat! I signed up for your e-newsletter and look forward each week to see what's going on! I live about 250 miles away, but stop by the shop whenever I am in the area, and have ordered online. I patronize my local quilt shop, but thoroughly enjoy yours!

One of my favorite things in life is visiting a quilting store. The Great American Quilt Factory is one of the best. The staff is always helpful and very friendly. It is a joy to shop and just visit your store. Thank you. Gloria (Glo) Bailey.

I just discovered your blog. I look forward to reading it regularly.
I have not been to your store but I met you two at Empty Spools many years ago. You were kind enough to have 3 pairs of small serrated scissors sent from your store to Asilomar for my mom, my sister and me to use that week in a Sue Nichols class. We still have them and love them.
I would love to win this! I am a beginning quilter following in my late mother's and grandmother's shoes. this would help alot.

Thank you for the opportunity!

I am one of the male quilters. I love making landscape quilts and making quilts to give to those that I meet who have cancer or know someone in a wheelchair. I lived in Colorado for a year and used to come into your store about once a month (the man with the leg braces and always shorts on) .. if you remember me. Anyway, I have about 1000 yards of fabric with my sister and we both love to quilt and make our own patterns and designs. I would love to win the basket and put it to good use.
What a pretty basket of goodies for some lucky quilter - I hope it's me.

Thanks for inspiring customers with a great store. BTW I am with you about Passionfish----it's a classy, yummy place to eat along with The Red House & Victorian Corner.
I have only been to your shop one time. My husband waited for your shop to open, on a Sunday, so I could shop prior to our 6 hour trip back home. I was so impressed with the shop. I know the gift basket speaks very well of the shop. If I were selected it would mean another great opportunity to visit the store.

GAQF is an oasis in my desert of stresses, trials and tribulations. Ahhhhhhh.
Hello from the wild and windy Aleutians. I am a customer who has frequented your great store for many years. It was the first one i ever visited and where i took my first quilt class somewhere around 1999 when i was living in Denver. I am now living in the infamous Unalaska, AKA Dutch Harbor, and only able to visit you all once or twice a year. I would love the basket as i have no place up here to shop at all. Judi (jjudim@msn.com)
Helloooo,
I can't wait to leave a "blog comment" in hopes of winning this great basket.
My friends started me coming to your store 2 years ago to begin the 1st/Sat.quilt block. Three quilts later I still can't get enough.
We make it a quest to go to all the quilt stores we can, and I can tell you, yours is the BEST! And the quilts shown there are the BEST!
You inspire us daily to continue perfecting our art.

I just purchased Nancy and Lynda's "Simple to Sensational Batiks" book that was printed in 2008. If you love batiks like I do, its a great book to own. Its very inspirational! Thanks for the opportunity to win the gift basket; as someone newly unemployed, I find myself with a lot of time (FINALLY) to quilt :)
Would love that basket and a NEW pattern too! yummy !wish I could be in your store for all the colors!/seasoned5@yahoo.com
I simply love the G.A.Q.F!
I love your shop! I remember when you had your first location and a baby in a playpen by the register. You were then, and are now, always more than helpful and pleasant. A pleasure to buy your books also! Thanks for being there!
Wow! Everyone seems to want your lovely basket with wonderful quilting goodies. After eleven years of constant shopping at your store, we moved to Idaho and I get my 'quilting' fix by reviewing your newsletter and reading the blog monthly. Thanks so much for sharing these with us. I still love the store and it is a MUST STOP TO SEE WHAT'S NEW every time we come to Denver to visit friends.
