November is my favorite month of the year because all family get together, food is fabulous, kids home from college, no gift exchange, and no politics.

[@rosannamize6622]

August!! Because that's when my 2 sons were born! Of course, I also have to say December because that's when my granddaughter was born!! She's 18 years old now and has really kept me going in all my trials and tribulations through these last 18 years! She was a real joy to raise! I asked God to let me live long enough for her to graduate from high school. He did that! He's awesome! I'm trying to quilt as many as I can for her and my grandsons to remember me by when I'm gone. I was diagnosed last month with another brain tumor. I haven't talked to the neurosurgeon yet to get a game plan. I would love to have the calendar and sew along with Kimberly!! I pray everyone has a great weekend, and God bless you all!! Chrish every person in your life, and no matter how angry you get at someone, always make sure they leave with a hug and an "I love you ❤️". You don't want your last encounter with a loved one to leave with hurtful or negative comments!!!

[@louisecrowe2527]

November is my favorite month. A special time when family and friends come together to give thanks for all our blessings.

[@tonijones7599]

I love the summer months of June, July, and August, not because of the heat and humidity. I love the slower pace of life, no more rising at o'dark thirty to bustle kids and hubs off to school and work. No more running to a packed schedule of soccer, football, basketball, and baseball games. I love the longer days of taking time by the pool enjoying time spent family and friends. I love the anticipation of a lazy week at the beach watching the beauty and wonder of the ocean, eating scrumptious seafood. I love more meals cooked on the grill, giving the chief cook, me, a break. I love planning my quilty projects for the fall and winter; collecting, prepping the fabric in anticipation of the fast pace approaching come September and reveling once again in my solitude in my sewing room.

[@teraramage6210]

I love December because things slow down at work and get time to enjoy the holidays.

[@sharond.2237]

My favorite month is May. It has the first long weekend, Memorial day and it would kickstart our camping summer adventures. Being a camping family is awesome.

[@angeliaharron]

I love April here in the UK all the different tones of fresh greens of the trees and hedges which, as the summer builds become a more uniform green. The variety of spring flowers in my garden makes my heart sing! Many thanks for all your teaching, Angela Houlden

[@jla1728]

August is my favorite month!! Not only my birthday, but my niece's, my dad's, and my best friend's! Plus usually it's the hottest and the start of the end of the hot weather! And! Because of all the birthdays, it's usually the time when everyone does something so it's full of memories whether it's just get togethers or trips!

[@ellenbeallstratton]

My favorite month of the year is November. It's a time when lots of our family come together to celebrate Thanksgiving and give thanks for the many blessings that God has given us. Lots of great food is also fun and one of those many blessings!

[@adelacalandrello3373]

Thanks for all your inspiration. Sometimes I will get into a slump, then I will watch your videos where you show your progress on the quilt a longs and it gets me wanting to work on a quilt. I doesn’t happen to often but it does happen. My favorite month I have to say is December. I love the colors of the Christmas season and the joy of it.

[@dawnpollock2060]

I love March, the colors are waking up on Mother Earth and celebrating my son’s birthday. Very special time of the year.

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

I love April as it is the month of rebirth, nature comes alive, so we have spring, summer and fall to look forward to, and hopefully sew alongs with them. As well it is my Dads birth month, and without him I would not be here. Have a nice sew filled weekend.

[@barbcrowe9966]

July is my favorite month because my entire family vacations together on a lake in Michigan that I have been going to for 65 years. All of my siblings, their children and grandchildren all vacation together for one week. What great memories we have made.

[@donnaboyd5108]

Kimberly you have really had the pedal to the medal on your sewing machine! So many great quilts and blocks. Enjoyed this video very much and will be looking forward to the new quilt alongs coming up. I starch outside when possible and hang smaller cuts on my drying rack and larger pieces on a PVC rack that my husband made me. My favorite months are probably May and October. I just like those times of year the most.

[@sherriparsley2423]

April is my favorite. It is my birthday month, but I love it because it is the beginning of Spring, my favorite time of year.

[@peggyarchibald506]

[@rosemaryknoll5805]

October has always been my favorite month of the year. The temperatures are cooler, but not usually cold! The air smells cleaner to me. I remember shuffling the leaves back in the day when I walked to elementary school and loved the scent of the fallen leaves.

January is by far my favourite month of the year. As here in Australia, it is summer. It reminds me of long school holidays, hot days, swimming in the and, many memories on the farm with cousins and family 😊

[@debkeller77]

I love the change-of-season months as there are always to celebrate. But I think my favorite would be April, with the coming of spring. It is the renewal of life, with all of the trees, plants and flowers sprouting. The colors are all so pretty, and truly reflect the colors I love to quilt with!

[@lisarogers4564]

Favorite month is April..love Spring!

[@martiacampbell6323]

Ohmygosh Kimberly, mentioning my sisters and I while talking about Mr. Dunn’s anniversary quilt was so special. Humbling too. We are missing you and Kevin and hoping to visit soon. 💝💝

[@juliannaburgess9177]

I ❤ a month's time between Sept and October because you get to see "true" colors of the trees. Magnificent! PLUS Indian Summer occurs there as well, the BEST weather.

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

I am so glad you are finally carrying Fireside. I quilt with a domestic and cannot do Minky on my domestic, but have found this is a breeze to quilt with. Especially works great with baby quilts. It does not overwhelm them and as they are often about 48 inches, the Fireside is the perfect width.

[@ellen89]

I love October. The weather, my daughters bday, the fall season, everything pumpkin. My favorite ❤

[@kaelynnbeecher3331]

My favorite month is September. Life slows down after a busy summer and I have more time to sew and start getting presents ready for Christmas!

[@stephaniez.hironimus4007]

Besides my birth month (June 🩵), April is my fav. Living in Pennsylvania, our winters are long & cold. It starts to warm up in March BUT, there's always a chance of a super cold, windy day. In April, flowers are starting to bloom, trees have leaves again, grass is green & birds are chirping - I love it!!

[@frandaoust1548]

You’re right, my favorite month in December. My birthday, Christmas, and 2 of my kids birthdays. So much to look forward to in 31 days.

[@kaysanderford8560]

My favorite month of the year is October. The heat begins to subside in TX by then, and finally I get to decorate for fall ... wear fall colors ... drink fall coffees ... eat fall foods ... and bake fall treats! All my favorite things! 🍂 I try to decorate for fall the first week of Sep and it stays up until time to decorate for Christmas. Pumpkins, pumpkins and more pumpkins!

[@annweber5586]

I love the month of April! After the cold and short days of winter, I love the all the blooming flowers and longer days that spring brings.

June! The end of the spring flower show brings the anticipation of summer fun.

[@tamlynjordan6159]

My favorite month is March. I love the winter months, but spring is starting to pop up here and there and the sun is shining a bit longer, but there is still the crispness in the air which is perfect for snuggling with a quilt and cup of cocoa. Can't wait.

[@annaddavis1890]
