One of the things I've been thinking a lot about lately is expanding my skill set. I love to learn and am always excited to try something new. How about you? Is there something new you've been itching to try? To enter to win some Perfectly Perched, just leave me a comment here on this post and share something about something new you'd like to try.

To recap:

- I'll draw 2 winners this Saturday, May 5, 2012
- The winners can choose from any of the 3 color stories

And to close off this post, I've included some gorgeous eye candy of Perfectly Perched quilt tops...Sigh (insert dreamy look here)...So scrumptious!

I'd like to learn knitting. I have seen beautiful knits and always wonder how it is done. Love your fabrics. Each of the set colors are very pretty.
Wow, lime and aqua are so pretty.
Love to learn to make fancy macaroons and to learn sewing on a long arm machine
Perfectly perched looks perfectly beautiful! I want to learn hand quilting with perle cotton. I'm afraid my stitches would be so long that my pets claws would catch in them and pull the stitches out. Very sad!
so many quilters also knit. I'd love to be able to do that also. Kathie L in Allentown
I want to try stenciling, screen printing and stamp making (kind of all related)
love to learn to knit!
I actually have a list of 12 new sewing skills to learn this year..but I got distracted with learning to quilt so I've only checked a couple off so far! Some of them are to be able to make a real actual collar, to try my hand at french seams, and to fully line a garment.
Thank you for the giveaway, love those colors!
I really ant to learn paper piecing! I'm about to step over....:D
thanks for the giveaway!!! love it!
new skill--- drawing :(
Okay, free motion quilting would be nice to have as a skill, but I would really like the skill to organize my day. I am still studying so my days are spent at university and the libraries but the tasks I have to do at home usually get cramped into the last hour before going to bed because I "had" to watch the latest series first :)
Thank you for the giveaway, I love those chairs!
I'd like to learn to paper piece!
Well, we do I start? From an artistic perspective; I would love to learn to paint with watercolors and use that skill in my fabric designs! I have been doing Crossfit workouts for the last 9 months and I would LOVE to learn to do a Pull-Up! Just one would make me extremely happy!!! Maybe before I am sixty (which is not far away)!
I love love Perfectly Perched! I would like to try free motion quilting this year! Thank you for the giveaway! amyd14_1999@yahoo.com
I love, love, love this collection! The prints and the colors are wonderful. I have many skills to improve---hmmm..organizing, time management...oh sewing? I would like to try machine quilting and paper piecing.
Knitting and crocheting. I can do the basics but I can't actually make anything, other than a scarf in one color that is as long as one skein of yarn allows. I have a lot to learn.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new design!! I always Love your fabric line! I wanted to try more of free motion quilt...always afraid to make curving ..instead I make straight line.
Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.

Crochet. A lot of people say it's easy, but I find it intimidating.
Oooh, I love Perfectly Perched! How will I ever choose a colourway?!? They're all fabulous! I would like to learn how to change a tire on my car. It seems like a good thing to know how to do, but I've always been intimidated.
I would like to learn how to do paper piecing.

Perfectly Perched is awesome. I am particularly taken with the lime and aqua. It's a little random but I've been wanting to take up archery lately. I did it for a couple of weeks way back in high school P.E. class and I just feel like picking it up again.
I would really like to learn garment sewing. Even it is only the simple stuff.
I want to try some English paper piecing before Sewing Summit.
Curved piecing!!! I'm intrigued by the process lately and want to learn more.

Well, I would really like to overcome the fear of machine quilting! This middle aged woman doesn't give up easily, so I should be able to tackle this. As for my other dream...I want to learn to play the Cello. That may be a bit trickier! Thanks for sharing -
I want to learn paper piecing or something else with the machine. Love those fabrics.
I would like to learn needle turn applique this year from an elderly friend who does spectacular work. Also, tatting if I can find someone who knows how to do it.

I love the raspberry and lime colourway. My skill-to-learn is quilting. I haven't done any quilting since I stitched in the ditch on a quilt as a teenager. Now I get it professionally done. SO I would love to learn how to do it and practice so that I have the confidence to do some smaller projects.
I want to learn the left hand (and the coordination that goes with it) on the piano. My hands just don't want to work together.
I'd love to try needle turn applique ... thanks!
I don't know which color story I like best- they are all so scrumptious! I want to improve my machine quilting and learn stippling. Thanks for a chance to win!

I am working on free motion quilting- Ive always been stuck in the ditch- which is better than being stuck in a rut.. but I have climbed out and have been playing a bit with echoes.
I would love to learn to free motion quilting. Thanks
I'd love to learn to free motion quilt. I've only done straight lines so far on the 2 lap quilts that I've done.
Love that fabric!! I want to become much better at FMQ than I am now. I've done a few smaller projects and gotten okay on them, but the last large thing I tried to FMQ proved to me that I really need to work on more large projects to I can become proficient!
I would like to learn how to knit. I crochet atm, and am a bit scared of having two implements to use at once ;-)
Love Sarah
