Now on to some show and tell! Through Flick and my blog I've met some wonderfully kind, talented and funny people. Alison over at Little Island Quilting and I have been emailing for a while and she has made some DIVINE quilts from my lines. Just spend a few minutes in her Flickr stream and you'll see what I mean. Take a look at this brand new gorgeous quilt she made from the Park color story of Modern Whimsy. The way she pieced the border and incorporated the solids along with the big cuts of Modern Whimsy is just lovey isn't it!? What a great quilt. Thanks so much for sharing it Alison! And thank your penguin for the help with the styling. :) (You'll have to read Alison's post...)
Good luck everyone. And see you tomorrow for the announcement of the Day 1 winner and for the start of the Day 2 giveaway!!

great fabrics!
What a beautiful quilt- I love all your fabrics!
What a fun giveaway series! 12 drummers drumming would be fabulous - I'd turn them into a drum corp - love them!
Seriously, I'm posting only the third comment? Great giveaway. I'd pay the 12 drummers to cease-and-desist! Would love to win one of your giveaways - love your fabric!!!
Hope you feel much better soon!
Noise-cancelling earphones and if that doesn't work, I could well become the thirteenth. Mad about your design style it hits the right note!
Oooh, fun giveaway. Twelve drummers drumming? I'd ask them to put away their drums and help me clean my house - what I couldn't do with 12 extra pairs of hands right about now!

If I had 12 drummers drumming, I'd have to find some ear plugs!
For me, I hope within the twelve days I get to receive both my orders from (Black Friday & Cyber Monday) Fat Quarter Shop. Let's hope the postal service is good for me to send it halfway around the world.
Is it greedy to enter this giveaway when you already kindly gave me this bundle? Yes? Well, you'll need those 12 drummers to drag me away from a prize this good!
I agree about the ear plugs. I think I would take them down to the local football field and let them make a ton of noise.
Wow! Visions of quilts keep circling in my head! These packets are awesome!
I would have the 12 drummers give me a drumming lessons. I love the feeling you get in your chest with the sound of drumbeats. Kathie L in Allentown
What a sweet giveaway! :) I'd take them to visit my sweet neighbor Karen, who is currently in a nursing home. They'd love that!
I love this quilt!
12 drummers drumming? I think I'd listen to two or three songs, and then I'm afraid I'd have to show them the door.
Someone else mentioned my very first idea: take away their drums and set them to cleaning my house. If they felt the need to beat on things, though, they could put up dry wall in my basement.
(By the by, I didn't notice anything up above, but can non-Americans enter? Curious Canadians want to know.) (Also, clumsy(dot)chord(at)gmail(dot)com)
12 drummers drumming? Hmmm I might pinch their drums and swap them for mixing bowls and spoons. Might get some Christmas food mixed up instead - their arms must be pretty strong from all that drumming they'd mix up a cake or twenty in no time ;-)
Love the fabric, I am a huge fan of yours. I would use 12 drummers drumming to get my husband out of bed, it is next to impossible to get him up in the morning!
I love this line! It's so adorable. I'd use the 12 drummers drumming to wake up my husband on weekend. My daughter yelling in his ear doesn't seem to work. :)
I'd join in so there would be 13 drummers drumming! that might spoil the song though so I would have to get rid of one and take his place!
Wow how superbly generous you are! 12 drummers drumming? I think I'd send them on their way pretty quick I think! Failing that they could give my children a drumming lesson or two!
with 12 drummers drumming I'd get them to march down the street and see if we could start a flash mob in quiet, sleepy Yorba linda, CA. Thanks for a chance to win. Love your fabric.
love your fabrics! thanks for the giveaway!
Oh, what a great giveaway! Thanks!!!
I would station the twelve drummers on my front porch and they would play every time visitors arrived during the holiday season.
around here, twelve drummers would certainly turn into fourteen once my girls heard them! thanks for the chance to win some of your fab fabrics :)
I think I would take teh 12 drummers drumming and turn it into a parade
that pile of fabrics is great eye candy! I'd lend 12 drummers drumming to my nephew's rock band - it would make for a great jam session! :)
such pretty fabrics! 12 drummers drumming? i'd add them to my boyfriend (also a drummer), to make a lucky number 13!
oh what a great treat ... 12 drummers drumming, to compete with my neighbors stereo. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Oo, what a fun giveaway Laurie!! No idea on the drummers but I have several ideas for what I'd do with this lovely fabric :)
I am a new follower and with 12 drummers drumming, I would ask them to drum to the beat of what a great giveaway this is. Thank you so much for a chnace to win.
You are so generous, are you sure it's not the plague drugs speaking!!
I think I'd like the 12 drummers to take my 3 kiddies off to make noise elsewhere, so I could sew in peace!
I would ask the 12 Drummers to lead the parade for our high school football time- Super Bowl Champs!
And then make a twirl skirt for DgD out of the sweet fabric!

Love your fabrics.
Loooove your fabrics! I'd have the 12 drummers lead our town parade :)
I would bring them all to Kindergarten with me!
What a fun giveaway. I love the colors of those fabrics. I totally agree with Flying Blind. Take my kiddos and make all the noise you want (somewhere else) so I can have an hour to sew in peace.
I work nights, so when the young fellow next door has his band over to his house to practice I don't get any sleep, I think I would gladly drop the drummers on his stoop at around 3a.m.
Such gorgeous stack for fabrics! Thank you for all the giveaways in the next 12 days! The 12 drummers drumming could go across the street to the middle school and play with the kids instead, ha!
pick me! :) I would take away all their drumsticks! I am in need of quiet time. When I was in college I used to yell at the hippies outside at night having drum circles outside my dorm room... lol maybe I'm just a scrooge?
Great giveaway, love your designs! I would let the 12 drummers play silent 'air-drum'. You know, like air guitar but with(out) drums :)
Thanks for the giveaway, Laurie! I just saw Alison's quilt top on her blog and I love it, as I have all of the quilts she has made with your lines :)
As for 12 drummers drumming...that may be just enough drummers to march my 3 kids to bed!!
obsessivecraftingdisorder@yahoo.ca
What an exciting 12 days coming up! As for the drummers......hmmmmmm.
Have them over to play and march around the tree on Christmas morning?
Thanks for the generous giveaway, Laurie! What a fun idea :) I'd march those 12 drummers all around our neighborhood... not sure I'd be very popular after that, but hey - it's the holidays!!!
I would take the 12 drummers to teach my nephews how to drum! :)
Hi Laurie! I'm not really entering, but think this is so cool that you are doing all of this. The fabric is awesome!
I'd make some spiked hot cocoa for us all and let them do their thing.
Drummer boys are Hot! : )
Great looking fabric. Let the drummers play...the grandkids would love to hear them!
That is a wonderful stack of fabrics you are giving away. 12 drummers drumming - We would have a party and invite my grandson over. He is 9 months old and he would get a kick out of watching them play.
If I had 12 drummers drumming, I'd lock them in a sound-poof room. :)
Thanks for the chance to win!
As long as they were marching at the same time as drumming I'd join right in! I love a good marching/show band and we just don't have enough of them up here in Canada. Thanks for sharing your wonderful fabric with us and feel better soon!
Great colors!
12 drummers drumming sound great, as long as it's before bedtime!
You're killin' me :) With the fabrics, the giveaway, the drummers... :))
Best 12 days ever.

!2 drummers drumming, I'd give them a football to play with.
I'd tell the drummers to shush.
Hope you get better soon. I am also down with the plague. Grr December! /shakesfist at the month
well, i know for a fact the noise four kids can make on pots and pans - so i imagine i'd be hollering "knock it off!" unless, of course, they were part of an excellent orchestra.
I spy Tufted Tweet purple - my favorites of your designs. It's really hard to get modern purple fabrics and when I first seen Tufted Tweets in purple I was in heaven (it's funny, because last evening I was thinking of buying more somewhere:).
Yay!!! I have found such a great blog and a wonderful designer AND a giveaway. Happy Sunday! chimenetm at yahoo dot com
I'm in love with the lamb-patterned fabrics. Thanks for doing this give-away!
Grab a guitar and play with them , belensmama at gmail dot com
What a wonderful giveaway! Such pretty fabrics.

I would have them go around my neighborhood and make everyone follow! Thanks for the giveaway! I'm really needing fabric to finish my quilt!
12 drummers drumming would be most welcome, they could join with my chidren who play cornets! Great giveaway!
I'd love to have the drummers on speed dial just to send as a wake up call to anyone that "needed" it.
Great fabric - I would tell the drummers to go eat some goodies - maybe some Christmas cookies.
the twelve drummers drumming would feel right at home with the two boys at my house who are constantly banging on things :). They'd have a ball.
What a fun giveaway. Thanks Laurie.
Cool! I'd have my son enjoy the drummers - he loves musical performances!
What a fun giveaway!
Twelve drummers drumming would be remodeling my basement!
Thanks for spreading the holiday cheer! If I could get my hands on some drummers, I'd drown out the call to prayer, just once, that I hear all the time here in Turkey...
I would make a band and dance all day!!
Thanks! Amy

How nice! Thank you! What I would do with 12 drummers drumming is march them up to my son's room in the morning to wake him up for school, sometimes he needs that help waking up :)
I would put them straight to work cleaning my house (and probably making dinner too). Can you tell I have messy kids (and a messy husband)? Thanks for the chance to win! stephydinger at yahoo dot com.
Thanks for such a fun giveaway. I could definitely use 12 drummers to drown out my noisy neighbors!
Twelve drummers drumming and marching down the street would be awesome, but if they showed up in my apartment--YIKES!! I'd quick brew some camomile tea to calm them down. While they were enjoying some Christmas cookies with their brew, I'd whip up some quilted drum covers out of fun Christmas fabrics. They'd be so relaxed and mesmerized by the fancy covers they'd forget to drum--ahhh peace on earth :D
I would totally send the 12 drummers to school and have them teach my music classes all day so I could stay home and sew!!!
Awesome giveaway. I'd pay the drummers to follow hubby around all day and annoy the heck out of him. It'd be funny.
Where have you been all my 8 months of quilting life??? I decided 8 months ago that I would try to make a quilt, and the rest of the story is exactly what you can guess - I'm addicted! I've made 5 quilts so far, and continue to love it more than anything I've ever attempted. The fabric - oh, the fabric! I love it so much, and today I was led to your site from a FB post. I've already ordered about $100 worth, and I love what you do!!!
You're very inspiring to me, and I would LOVE to win some of your beautiful fabric. So, here's my comment - I'm keeping my busy little fingers crossed!!!

I would use the 12 drummers drumming to enteratin my two kids while I sew!
Thanks for the great giveaways! I think I'd have to find a great bunch of kids for the 12 drummers to entertain :)
Great giveaway. I have no idea what to do with 12 drummers, I think it's lucky that it's never been a problem.
blue.crab.quilting@gmail.com
Always loved a good drumline - having 12 drummers in a room might be a bit much, but I'm sure they'd help me pick up the pace while sewing. I've been wanting to try my first quilt ... which would be delightful in these fabrics!
Kris (SparklyShinyTX at gmail)
I'd find some earplugs for me while my drummers do their thing! NOISY!!!
So fun! Was just helping my son work out lyrics for a harry potter 12 days of christmas. He was starting with One Voldemort with an elder wand in his pocket....
Thank you for the giveaway! Twelve drummers? Well they would certainly rock the house(and the neighborhood). But would make the best of it and dance along.

What a fun giveaway! I adore the whimsical nature of your designs, they make your fabric so much fun to work with! As for what I'd do with 12 drummers-a-drumming, I think I'd have them work on beating the dust out of my rugs, that would be quite handy :)
Thanks for the giveaway! I love modern whimsy, it is adorable! With my 12 drummers drumming I think I would use them to keep my daughter occupied while I prepare the house for Christmas! (She's 19 months old and loves music!).
I don't know what I'd do with 12 drummers... but I did love The Office episode with Erin and Andy's 12 drummers drumming. :)
Pretty sure 12 drummers would be the highlight for my music lovin' 3 year old!
Thank you for this wonderfully generous giveaway. Wishes for a speedy recovery :)
Id send the 12 drummers to the kids hospital I work at. Cute giveaway!!
First of all, I'm SO excited for Modern Whimsy to hit the stores. I love to support my LQS, so I'm really hoping at least one of them picked it up.
Second, I just remembered I need to email you back after meeting you at Market! Shame on me. :(
Third...12 drummers drumming? I might send them down the street to start their own parade.:)
I would love to win these. And the drummers? It would end up as 13 drummers drumming as my baby boy would be bound to join in - one of his favourite games is banging things!
I can't wait to see your new line IRL. The colors are yummy. What about 12 steel drummers drumming? I'm imagining an impromptu parade down my snow-covered street. That would be awesome.
Thanks for the giveaway. If I had 12 drummers drumming I would ask me to drum up and down the village so we could all enjoy their music!
Great giveaway!!
thank you
i love these modern whimsy circles! love working iwth your colors!
Let them play, they would keep me awake so I can finish the paper for school that's due tomorrow morning :)
Laurie, sooo excited to get my hands on some of the modern whimsy line!! LOL I swear we are all like crack addicts when it comes to fabric!! :D What a fun run of giveaways this will be! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us that love your designs! :)
Great giveaways! Thanks!
ooh, now you know I'm such a fan I can't resist this ...
and 12 drummers drumming? I'd like them to drum their little tushies off in the house above my flat, where two small children continuously in throws of tantrums or thumping ... at all hours ... they only have a xylophone and a snare drum ... but it sounds like a gazillion of em !!
i'd grad a tambourine and join the drummers! thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you for the great giveaways!
Thank you for the giveaway!
I would use the 12 drummers drumming to wake my daughter up for school in the morning! She sleeps like a rock :)
Such a gorgeous quilt - beautiful fabrics!!!
12 drummer drumming sure would make alot of noise.
Awesome giveaway - your fabrics are so yum. Twelve drummers drumming seems to me like instant sewing time for mama - it's dance party with 12 babysitters for my little ones, so I'd just slip quietly away to my sewing room....
I would have to conduct the twelve drummers drumming I always have to get in on the action
I'd line up those drummers and let my single friends pick their favorites for a hot date. (:
Hmmm 12 drummers drumming? Could be a bit of fun with a beat happening!
Oooh, 12 chances to win some of your wonderful fabrics? I'll just set up camp right here :)
Thanks for today's lovely giveaway - I'd love to be able to make something even half as nice as Allison's beautiful quilt.
I'd definitely be sending my little one off to play with the 12 drummers while I enjoy some peaceful sewing :)
I'd ask for a lesson - movies like "Drumline" get me thinking that I should have a bit more of a beat in my life!
Thank you for the lovely giveaway. The twelve drummers would have to let me beat on their 12 drums too! What fun that would be. Then, would turn them over to my 5 little grandnieces. Wow, 12 drummers would become 17!
Thanks for the great 12 day give away. I sewed a cute sack today as a secret Santa gift. I'd have those drummers doing the first number at our elementary students Holiday North Pole Musical this coming FRiday 7 PM sharp!
Fabulous giveaway!!! If the drummers were cute I'd say take off their shirts. Otherwise I'd send them over to annoy some people I didn't like, lol. Loving everyone's answers so far.
Mmm 12 drummers drumming. I would go to the movies, I bet they would make entertaining babysitters!!!!!
Send the drummers to my church to join the praise team for a concert! Thanks for the chance!
12 drummers would be fabulous entertainment for my two young boys!
I'd start a parade!
I am a bunny who would flip for a bit of your bunny print. As for the drummers, I would start a neighborhood holiday party. Thank you for the giveaway.
Oooo fantastic giveaways! I love drumlines so I would get them to form a circle and go for it! After that they could help me finsh my decorating!
Have them give my kids drumming lessons!!
What a great giveaway. I'd send the Drummers on a tour of the neighbourhood to spread the cheer. Hope you feel better soon.
12 drummers drumming?! Throw them in a room with my equally loud 2 year old! :) Great giveaway!
What would I do with 12 drummers drumming? Well, I live on a military base, so I'm sure we could find something for them to do! They could drum the soldiers out of bed, or to the mess hall.
12 Drummers drumming would certainly cancel out any other noise around here. I bet they would be really good at entertaining three little ones so I can get some sewing done.
I'd send them to my neighbours so they can create a bigger racket with the kids there!
12 drummers drumming? Easy. They'd hang out at my desk at work and they'd start a rum-pum-pum-pumming every time someone started complaining about anything. Just cut 'em right off with some holiday cheer, ha!
I would rent them out. If you calculate it out paying by the hour, every 24 hours I could make $2,500.
12 drummers drumming . . . hmmmmm. I think I would kick them out . . . a lot of noise gives me a headache ;) Thanks for the generous giveaways!!!
If I had 12 drummers drumming we'd have to have a Christmas Parade!
I'd send those drummers down our town main street for a nice festive drumming parade!
What a fantastic giveaway - I have a 2 year old that likes drumming with the saucepans, not sure I could cope with 12 of them!
Sweet giveaway!
Thanks for the chance :D
I could use the 12 drummers to get the teenager out of bed in the morning. He sleeps in a sleepout and I can hear his alarm from the house, but somehow he can't!
12 drummers drumming might help me get up easier in the morning! Hope you feel better soon :)
The 12 Drummers would be useful to plant in front of my neighbour's home to drown out the noise of the new trumpet player.
Wow, what a great giveaway! Hmm, 12 drummers drumming. What to do, what to do! I'd send them down to the pier in our little town and have them play and pass the hat to earn enough money to buy Christmas gifts for all the kids here that might not have a Christmas otherwise.
Uau! 12 drummers to star 31 december and end 1st january.... :)
I could use the 12 drummers to wake me up in the morning! I am so tired these days because it is the busy season and I am in the midst of writing school reports for my students!
Oh my god! Look how many comments! I'd set those 12 drummers on child minding detail. They don't all need to drum at onece, I'm sure one could change a nappy, make a sandwich or otherwise amuse the kids while I sew! lol
It could be cool to have 12 drummers doing the drumroll when I pull something delicious out of the oven. And if I filmed that I'm pretty sure that would be an instant YouTube hit.
I'd probably cope with the 12 drummers, but I don't know what I'd do when the 11 pipers piping turn up! great giveaway - thanks!
This really is a great giveaway project! :-) I didn't find a bundle I wouldn't like to win. 12 drummers?? They would have to make a coffee break right now. I have a lot to do and need to concentrate so quiet is required :-)
What else could I do but rock on! Embrace the drummers!
12 drummers would nicely line up along my driveway!
Everyone loves a parade, right?
Great giveaway! And I woke up fretting over what to get my neice's husband - who is a VMI grad - and you solved my problem with 12 drummers drumming - he'd love it! Thanks.
take them shopping to clear the way. Oh how fun !
I am one of your biggest fans!! 12 drummers drumming... I would send them to my daughters house each morning to wake her up for work. Her alarm clock just doesn't do it..jmichaelpike@aol.com
Nice giveaway. What a fun place to stop by.
Love! I adore your fabric and I would be so excited to win! With 12 drummers drumming, I'd start a marching band! :)
How fun! With 12 drummers drumming, we'd have a dance party!!

12 drummers, don't have a clue what to do with that. Now the fabric, I do know what to do with that.
