I'm not much of a traveler these days but I went to Moscow once and loved it!! I would love to go to London or Rome.
Posted by: Sarah | May 20, 2010 at 08:18 AM
I should say Paducah, for the quilts ... or Savannah, because of "Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil" ... but I've never actually been to either of those places. :)
So I'll say Raleigh, NC - because the men sound so sexy, the weather's beautiful, and there's just SO MUCH to look at!
(Amazing patterns, and astounding fabrics. You are a true wonder.)

London happens to be my favorite city to visit too. I lived across the street from Kensington Gardens for a couple of months many years ago, and I've never gotten it out of my blood. Thanks for the giveaway!

Savannah, Georgia is gorgeous, historic, spooky and full of great places to stay and eat. I'd go there for every vacation if I could--beaches, seafood, lighthouse, cemeteries, ghost tours--love it!

Wonderful giveaway - I'd love to try the Paddington Station pattern for my daughter. My favorite city to visit is Portland, OR, just because I have so many wonderful friends there. For vacation, I'd pick Vancouver, BC. I want to take a cruise there some day!
Posted by: Evelyn | May 20, 2010 at 09:22 AM
Wow - these all look great!!! My fave city is Cape Town, South Africa. Seriously - gorgeous, delicious, inspiring. Wish I was headed there for the World Cup but alas, it's quite a hike from NYC.
Have fun at quiltmarket!
Ooh, check out my blog - just finished a quilt using "Poppy"!

Laura,
You are doing amazing things. Tell Miss Lily she is just beautiful and she looks so grown up, I can't stand it. That is a handsome blouse and it looks fabulous on her. Check out my blog if you would like to see the Bird Condos.

My favorite city to visit is Portland, OR, more for the memories and the close by family, but it is also a place for great restaurants, shopping, beautiful landscape.
Posted by: Christa | May 20, 2010 at 09:30 AM
Right now my favorite city to visit and explore is Austin, Texas :-)
Posted by: Belinda Gelhausen | May 20, 2010 at 09:32 AM
The Bond St bag looks really neat. Favorite city to visit is tough but either Stockholm or Nairobi (really different, I know!). In the US, Portland, OR wins hands-down.
Posted by: 2hippos | May 20, 2010 at 09:33 AM
Hmm- my favorite city to visit would have to be Portland, Oregon. In fact, on my first visit here, I stayed and have never been back home! There's just so much to do!
Posted by: Amy | May 20, 2010 at 09:53 AM
And by the way I love the new patterns! I think my favorite is "Bond Street".
