I confess, I am new to possibilities books and I only have one. It is "super simple fat quarter quilts". I am currently trying my first quilt from it. I picked the book because I loved the patterns I saw there. email is redwee@hotmail.com
Positively Pineapples. There are so many neat patterns in this book. Plus I got the ruler to go with.
PS I love you I or II (I can't remember!) for the pinwheel quilt. And the Christmas Pickle. You are awesome!
I love Super Simple Strips. It's great! Such wonder inspiration!

Oh, Time for a Chain and Time for a Chain II. I love the Irish Chain quilts and loved the books.

My favorite book is Super Simple Strips. I have actually taught a class from this book.
The Kids' Sewing book is great. Thanks for the chance.
My favorite possibilities book is House Warmers. I have several others too, and enjoy them all. email rahnd@mchsi.com
My favorite is Wildflower Sampler. I love the quilt on the cover. I'm going to make the Mountain Sunrise blocks as pillows to go with the quilt.
My favorite Possiblities book is Super Simple Strips.
I have quite a few Possibilites books with more on my wish list. Top of that list is The Art of Stitching on Metal, something I have been wanting to try but have held back because I don't know enough about it!
My favorite is your Pinapple book, Positively Pineapples. I have made two and have one in progress. Thanks for a chance to win.
I have two favorites - Positively Pineapples and Toppers. Both have been the basis for Christmas gifts that have been loved.
I like any of the Possibilties books. e-mailszil949@yahoo.com Thanks Sandi
Home for the Harvest, my go to book for fall and traditional quilts as housewarming gifts.
My favorite today ( can change from week to week) PS I love you two. I love how cute and easy quick these are.
drhodes9@cox.net
I have two favorites. I love Home for the Holidays and Wildflower Sampler. I love you all at the GAQF and wish I still lived in Denver so I could visit more (every week, or more)!

Friends Forever is my favorite from the Possibilities books.

Super Simple Squares is my absolute favorite Possibilites book, with Super Simple Fat Quarter Quilts a close second. I have made so many quilts from these two books. They versatility of the patterns is wonderful! I also love the tips on how to use up extra squares by making interesting backings or matching pillows or pillowcases.
Oh my gosh, I must say that I love the Forever Friends! I just finished a quilt usin the hoochy borders I made in Mary Lou Weidman's Asilomar Class....in fact, you both, Nancy and Marilyn, were in that class and sat close to me. Such talent in the room!! I had not used the borders for anything until recently and did your August calendar girl, (blown up 200%) for the actual quilt. It is currently posted on Mary Lou's site, August 23,2009 blog, if you wish to see it. Thank you both for great patterns, designs and inspirations. Smiles, Lynn
I have the three books in the PS I Love You series. I can't say I love one more than the others. I bought them when my daughter was young and I keep going back to them each time I need another baby quilt. Any chance for a 4th?

I have all of P.S. I love series and I just love them. I love making Quilts for my three grandsons from them.
My favorites are Seasonal Delights and the P.S. I Love Yous.
My favorite book by Possibilities is the Positively Pineapples. I have made quilts, place mats and wall hangings and used inspirations of other designs to assemble my "take" of the quilt. I even taught a couple classes to my local guild and they all bought rulers so they could get a great block too. The 2nd pineapple book is ok, but not my favorite. But surprise me with book #3. Kathy
My first Possibilites book and favorite is Wildflower Sampler. It just reminds me of Colorado. The quilt is absolutly beautiful!
drakezoey@msn.com
The minute I saw Fiesta, I knew it was my kind of quilt. I work at a quilt shop in Sharonville, Ohio. I put a sign on our first copy that said, New Class, Sign Up Now, Date and Time to be announced. The shop owner talked a fellow quilter into teaching the class. It was an immediate hit. Our "group" is exploring similar patterns you create for our next "class". Your sneak peak may be the next!! Thanks for color fun quilts. From eimay@aol.com
P.S. I Love You is one of my all time favorites. I really enjoy making baby quilts.
I think that "Time for a chain" is my favorite, although I also like PS I love you TOO very muc
I love the Home for the Harvest book with the Halloween characters. I make placemats for my neice's kids, they love getting them out every year.
Those quilts are beautiful! The new pattern booklets look amazing. My two favorite is P.S.I love you and Home for the Harvest.
My favorite Possibilities book has to be BEST OF SEWING MACHINE FUN. Since I teach a middle school sewing class of 6th-8th grade girls and boys, the book has been invaluable in helping to guide the class in beginning sewing. The activities in the book have really helped the kids to gain confidence in using the classroom machines, and attempting the projects that they have worked on.
With the "jump start" that the BEST OF SEWING MACHINE FUN has given to my students, they have been able to design and make quilts. They have taken the quilts on their annual mission trips to Juarez and on our Ministry in Motion trips to inner city Denver underserved children and elderly adults.
My favorite is Divide & Conquer. I love the techniques shown and of course the cover quilt!
Positively Pineapples for me :) LOVE IT!
Lesley Gosselin
Fireworks is gorgeous. Is it paper pieced? One of my favorites is Home for the Holidays. I even took one of your classes on the stockings to work on my applique skills. The range of projects is perfect for me as some are quick and some are more elaborate.
I have a copy of Hearts aplenty. I have made a few of these patterns. I wish I had more time to plat with them. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing the pineapple one.
hmm. i have at least 14.. love them all.. the color pics and directions.. are great!
Definitely Red Hot Attitude !!!!!!!
I just love the playfullness of this book. Judy C in NC
judyandmartyn@nc.rr.com
I haven't read any of these books; I don't buy many. But the Floor quilts one is something I'd like to try.
Love the new patterns! I have several of your books and love all of them.
My favorites are Toppers, Christmas Pickle, and Cabin In the Woods. The patterns are great. You just keep going. Kathie

There are so many "Possibilities". However, today I would have to pick "Christmas Pickle" and "More Joy to the World". I love all your books and patterns. Thanks for all you do.
e-mail: jaclyn.mcewen@gmail.com
I love, love your patterns and books! The one I am currently getting ready to start working on is Positively Pineapple, i have the ruler and almost set to GO! This will be my summer project!
I love "Seasonal Delights"--I'm planning to make the Halloween quilt once I gather the perfect fabrics.
digobrown@yahoo.com
Love them all but I especially like Positively Pineapples. thanks for the chance to win
I love those two new patterns, the colors are great. I think my favorite Possibilities book is PS I love you 2 and 3. But i also have several friends expecting this year so there may be some bias.

My favorite book is the Favorite Quilts Fast & Fun. I've made a couple quilts from this already.
Second one would probably be Positively Pineapple....
biokerristry@hotmail.com
Bedwarmers is probably my favorite. I just love the whole idea of it.
I agree with Ashley on Home for the Harvest!! But these new books look very cool and could easily be a new fav!!
Nancy Parker!!
Love em all! I have about 8 or 10 and it is so hard to choose just one. Keep up the wonderful work and I'll keep buying!

My favorite book is More Joy to the World. I have several pattern in the book I want to make and have the fabric ready for Juniper and Pine.
My favorite Possibilities book is "Deck the Halls" because there is a really cute girl named Kim on page 28 and 29. :) I think that she has done some hand modeling reciently for the clay button and paintsticks tutorials!
Kim :)
I'm sorry, I meant recently.
I'm new to quilting and like the idea of fat quarters so mine is "Super Simple Fat Quarter Quilts". The next one I want to try is the wildflower one. Email address is dmcm11@peoplepc.com

How beautiful quilts we can all look forward to in the new booklet. Fantastic fabrics used, wonderful patterns.You are just so clever. Thank you.
About my favourite book so far it is : PS I love you Four. It contains so many nice and easy patterns both for quilts but also for accesories.
But the Postcard book is an unvaluable ressource as well. Hard to choose. Christmas Pickle is also a favourite of mine.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas with us.
Fondly Monica -Spain
Hi Friends
Oh my - I´m looking forward to your new booklet. It looks as if it contains some beautiful batik quilts made in a wonderful design.
My favourite book is hard to choose. I love the : PS I love you Four. But also the postcard book is unvaluable. As well as Christmas Pickle. But if forced to choose I think it would be: PS I love you Four.
Warm regards Monica -Spain

AFter the Christmas Pickle class in Pigeon Forge this past March, that is my most favorite book. Lynda and Nancy are marvelous teachers, talented in fabric choices and color and such nice people! The light bulb came on for me in that class and there's no fear for me with paper piecing anymore. I've made a round table topper and am working along on my wall hanging. Lynne at psalms118@aol.com
My favorite is the Positively Pineapples book. I made the "poppies" quilt and am very pleased with the results. It is a nice technique, and saves all the paper from having to paper piece it!
Home for the Holidays and Kids' Sewing Book are very nice. And your blog about the Happy Halloween inspired me to order the kit from you. I am anxiously awaiting it. Thank you for this chance to win.
I have several of the possibilities books. I bought the book and took the class for the Calypso quilt. Fireworks will be another big hit!
I have many of your books and love them all. Since I have to pick a favorite, I will say it's Welcome to My Cabin" since I bought it in North Carolina where we have a cabin! All of the patterns are great and easy to read. Crossing my fingers for a winning entry!
I have several of the Possibilities books. Seasonal Delights has many adorable designs I love the Halloween Quilt and placemats. Simple to Sensational I took the class and made the Calypso quilt. Welcome to the Cabin has Quilts I can make for my son. I love Possibilities Books. Hats off to Nancy and Linda!
Its to hard to pick just one - but one of them is Housewarmers.
Loved your dinner trunk show in Pigeon Forge!
Hearts A Plenty --anything with hearts!!!

I love the Hooked on feathers book!
My favorite book is Super Simple Squares. I took one of my first quilting classes at Great American based on this book, probably in early 2003. In addition to getting me hooked on quilting the ladies in the class were wonderful. To this day we stay in touch and occasionally meet for dinner. Thanks Nancy and Lynda for not only promoting quilting, but encouraging friendships as well.
My favorite Possibilities book is hard to choose...you have so many great books...I have to pick 2 of my favorites "Toppers" & "Pillow Magic"...both have quick easy ideas that I love. My email is hopeful.5@sbcglobal.net
My favorite is Wildflower Sampler, I am still working on this quilt
It was hard to pick a favorite book from Possibilities because they are all so good. So my favorite three are:
P.S. I Love You Four
House Warmers
Toppers
my email is livinglight24@q.com
Favorite is Quilts and More, but a close second is PS I Love You. Have fun at Market.

Ellen Gibson

I love your book More Joy to the World. I think all of the projects are great but my favorite is the Hearthstone quilt. It has such a warm Christmas feel to it.
Since we live in the woods of Northern WI in the summer, I really like your book, Cabin in the Woods. Also like the PS I love you.
I love Super Simple Fat Quarter Quilts - great quilts and good information about techniques. I love the new patterns - especially the colours of the samples!
My favorite is Wildflower Sampler. The colors are wonderful, I did this as block of the month and really enjoyed it!
My favorite book is Hearts A Plenty. I just love the whimsy of it. I also have one of your Toppers books and like the option of making smaller projects that still add the charm of quilts to a bedroom.
email is glenda.mccrary@sbcglobal.net
My very first one - PS I Love You. I am actually addicted to your books, most of the ones on my bookshelf are yours. And whenever we come to visit our Colorado relatives, I try to get into your lovely shop.
At Pigeon Forge, TN, this spring, I loved your quilts that you showed at the dinner at Pottery Grill. I'm a new quilter and fell in love with your use of color. My favorite book thus far is Super Simple Fat Quarter Quilts. Since I'm new, my tiny stash consists of a few fat quarters and with this book I can make beautiful quilts without a large stash. Judy (judytickel@mindspring.com)
"Welcome to My Cabin" is just my style!
I don't have it yet but keep thinking about Home for the Harvest. I love the Halloween patterns. jatarb@msn.com
My favorite Possibilities book is "Fiesta". It is so bright and cheery. gloria.bailey@ucdenver.edu
I liked PS I Love You Two A sequel its full of nice baby quilt patterns and in really nice colors as well. Its an oldie but goodie. Evelyn evelyn_007@hotmail.com
I was just at GAQF and saw the new quilts that will be featured in the new book. They are awesome. I have used several patterns from P.S. I love you, two. The last one was "tiddlywinks". It is so cute. Thanks for all of your creativeness. Maureen - mbherran@msn.com
I love the Super Simple Fat Quarter Quilts book. All of the quilts are fun, colorful, creative and fairly quick, perfect for a beginner like me. Thanks!
jtraubenberg@gmail.com
I love all your books but since I make baby quilts for charity I am partial to the P.S. I Love You series. They are like chips I have to have all of them!
I really like "Home for the Holidays". I've started the Christmas Pickle & also think the cover quilt is lovely. My email is: judyforkner@comcast.net
i love possibilities books and if i had more time, i'd buy more quilting books! i have p.s. i love you two!, p.s. i love you three! and p.s. i love you four! i'd love to have p.s. i love you but it seems to be out of print. one of my last projects was the alphabet quilt from p.s. i love you three! i added strips between the blocks to make a twin-sized quilt. my email address is emory@grm.net. thanks!
It is extremely hard to pick just one book as my favorite but I think Pickle Dish is my favorite . I even have the kit for it and have decided it will be one of my next projects!
Susie B
sbrown@celerityinc.com
I am not sure if my first post went through, but Pickle Dish is my favorite! I love the greens in this design!

I've made the most quilts from "Time for a Chain", the first one and love the way they describe the quilt construction. My new favorite is Positively Pineapples and took a fun class from that book not too long ago. Can't wait to get it quilted and post pictures. Love all the books!
Penny
These quilts are gorgeous! I haven't gotten any of the books yet, but definetly will soon.
My favorite books are the Super Simple Squares and the More Joy to the World. I have made a few projects out of both. My email is coloradobelle@comcast.net
I like Cabin in the Woods and the Christmas Pickle
I have many of your books, and it's just crazy to try and narrow down my favorites to just one! But I guess I'll say that my favorite would have to be my most recent one: Floorquilts! I had the hardest time picking the colors, but no trouble at all deciding that my first floor cloth would be for me! I like visiting my quilts in other people's homes, but wanted this quilt to be underfoot at all times! It's a fabulous book with clear, concise directions. Thanks! kathryn_sullivan@comcast.net
Wow! I cannot pick one- I own almost all of them, and I must make the new quilts, I just love the vibrant colors.
I love your Toppers Book.
My grandson's love your construction fabric.
Gosh, ONLY ONE??? I have several of the Possibilities books (Wildflower Sampler, I love you's, Super Simple Triangles, Cabin in the Woods, More Joy, the newer Batik & Irish Chains, to name a couple...) Each and every time I look through them they inspire me to create and work harder to make better quilts.
Super Simple Strips. I have been quilting for a long, long time and have a prodigious scrap stash that I have somewhat tamed by cutting it into strips. I also make a lot of donation quilts. These strips plus your book make for some happy kids. Thank you
I have several possibilities book and my favorite one is "Time for a Chain II". I haven't started a quilt yet but I'm excited to do an beautiful batik quilt from one of the patterns. My email is nancy.wisch@msn.gov.
Positively Pineapples! You made the block so easy to do. It also helps that I took a class from you on this block. BTW, the class was great! JoAnn (jleung@neb.rr.com)
It's hard to choose - maybe Bed Warmers or Plentiful Possibilities! I also have had fun with the More Joy of Christmas (I think that was the title), anyway, fun quilts!

My favorite book is the Seasonal Delights. I have done the Halloween and Christmas quilts and they turned out wonderful.

I absolutely love the "Welcome to my Cabin" book which has all of may "log" type quilts I will be starting this summer. I have the fabric--now that the school year is done, I just have to start! My email is ginny@grimestimes.org.
PS I love you ;-))))) but I might change my mind tomorrow....
I'm a beginning quilter and have a couple of your books. My favorite is Super Simple Strips - great patterns.
As for my favorite book...the first of your books I got is FOREVER FRIENDS and I still love it...as well as the last I acquired, CHRISTMAS PICKLE...and all the 10+ books I bought inbetween. Your books have wonderful colors, besides the patterns and I love looking at the Pictures!!!
Love and Many Thanks,
Cathi
Positively Pineapples is my favorite. Both Tradewinds and Fireworks are glorious. Pick Me! Pick Me!
It's hard to narrow it down to one favorite, but I LOVE all my P.S. I Love You books. The new book definitely looks like it will become my new favorite!
