what a beautiful bundle! thanks for the chance
I follow your blog already using GFC
I am also an instagram follower! and to answer your question, which I should have done in my FIRST comment, LOL most of my inspiration comes from instagram lately, and show & tell at my modern guild
I think my greatest inspiration is my Mom truly. Ironically she doesn't even like to sew, but she has all the skills.
I follow you.
My mom. She has made so many awesome quilts and she taught me this wonderful hobby.

Nicole, blogs, such as yours are my greatest inspiration! I follow you on all 3!
My mother-in-law was my inspiration. She always loved my projects and was a great encouragement to keep trying new things.
My greatest quilting inspiration was, and always will be, my grandmother. She hand stitched everything – all the piecing, quilting and binding. Amazing!
At this point in my life, my biggest inspirations are my children. They are also the reason I don't get to sew very much these days! 😉
My family and friends are my biggest inspiration! Among them all, only one friend sews, and she DOESNT quilt! It may be something a family member likes, or a unique and crafty way a friend meets her needs with her sewing machine that set my brain whirling and picturing all kinds of future quilts! Thanks for the chance to win!
I follow you on Bloglovin'.
My inspiration comes from either the recipient of what I am making or the modern quilt movement and the freedom to mix it up with great fabrics!
My greatest inspiration is all the quilting blogs out there. Everyone always seems to come up with really original pieces of work and it always encourages me to find my creativity. Thanks for the giveaway!

I am inspired by other bloggers and pinterest and, lately, by things I see when I am walking down the street.
My biggest quilting inspiration is the person I am making the quilt for. I know that might sound a bit silly, but I will even tailor the playlist I listen to while I am working if I know the person well enough! Lots of love and good vibes just for that person are put into my quilts. Or at least, I really try to. 🙂

My biggest inspiration is being part of a world-wide community of makers. It is as if all these stitches keep us connected somehow. It's a blessing, isn't it.
My sewing heritage comes from my great-Grandma who could sew just about anything without a pattern. I have her little sewing table with the flip up top for thread storage. I am inspired by the resurgence in home sewing and quilting that is popularized by bloggers like you! basaran.family@rogers.com

I'm a new follower, but I forgot to answer your question. My inspiration mostly comes from online bloggers. Fabric is usually the jumping point for me. Right now I'm loving Charlie Harper.
Quilt blogs are by far my greatest inspiration!

My greatest inspiration are the "modern" quilters – I'm not going to list names because I'll be sure to forget somebody – but I love bright solid colors, new twists on classic blocks, the use of negative space, etc. There are so many beautiful quilts out there that I want to make!
I am inspired by quilt bloggers like yourself!
It's a toss up between blogs and Pinterest for inspiration.
I follow you via Bloglovin
I'm a new quilter and it may sound cheesy to say this, but I get a lot of inspiration from the quilting community as a whole. Online, in local quilt shops, in guilds, at shows — I've found quilters to be friendly, eager to share, and eager to help. That's inspiration right there!
And I follow you on bloglovin!
Greatest inspiration is watching people, seeing how they move, walk and dress – that all goes into my art quilts.
I follow on instagram.
I try to find inspiration in everyday life…whether it is an antique quilt I come across, an interesting building downtown, or a subtle pattern in carpet tiles.
My greatest quilting inspiration is Bonnie Hunter with all her marvelous scrappy quilts. She uses all the tiniest bits and pieces, nothing goes to waste.
I follow your blog via GFC.
My greatest inspiration is my family…they're always requesting something I'm not sure I can create, so it encourages me to try new techniques I probably wouldn't have otherwise!!!

Hi Nicole, I've been following your blog for about 6 months. I'm inspired by the unfathomable volume of those that create and share with others. One innocent visit to YouTube last spring and now I can't stop quilting and sewing!
Hello! I subscribe to your blog by email.

My grandmother quilted and I feel she has inspired me. I secretly quilted a few stitches on a quilt she was working on and somehow she knew it was me. hmmm
Mary @ Molly Flanders is my sewing inspiration! Anything she makes is very special and very "Mary"!
I am an old fashioned follower on my Blogger dashboard!
And I follower you on IG too!
I think the internet generally is my greatest quilting inspiration–the quick and extensive access to any sort of quilt or quilting I can dream up is a quick Google or Pinterest search away. It's amazing. And I love scrolling through Instagram in the middle of the day and seeing the different projects various quilters are working on!

My biggest quilting/sewing inspiration is my grandmother. My love for handwork grew as I watched her sew growing up.
I am inspired by the beautiful quilts I see on the blogs of countless quilters. Such talent !!
Great blenders. Thanks for the giveaway.
would love to win – thanks for the chance
My greatest quilt inspiration is my grandmother. She rarely bought fabric – used old clothes (hers or donated) – and hand-quilted all of her quilts. Even though she had so little to work with, her quilts are works of art to me; her use of color and making sure she had enough of this shirt or that dress to complete a quilt top still astound me today. Could I make a nice quilt without all of the doodads and gadgets I have today? Yes, we all can…but I'd like to keep all of the doodads and gadgets anyway. 🙂
Following you on my Blogger Dashboard!
Hi Nicole! Such gorgeous fabrics! I have started to spend more time on IG, but still most of my quilting inspiration comes from blogs. Reading the creator's thought process for design, fabric selection, intended recipient, etc. is motivating! Seeing beautiful work like yours just makes me want to keep practicing!!
You are on my Google blog reader list and I follow you on IG now too!
My favorite inspiration is old quilts. To see what others have done that have stood the test of time. 🙂
My youngest sister is the reason I started quilting 7 years ago. She wanted us 4 sisters to do round robin quilts that year. We made 4 quilts plus a memory quilt for my Dad. We live in 4 different states & keep connected through our quilting. Thanks.
I'm a follower with Bloglovin'. Thanks again.
Liking you on Facebook too. Thanks.
Probably not my current inspiration – but it was Gwen Marston who first opened my eyes to the possibility of wonky/improv fun quiltmaking.
I am a longtime bloglovin follower – thanks for the giveaway
I love the quilts of Gees Bend – the make do scrappiness, and a brilliant eye for pattern!
I think my sewing inspiration comes from the people around me for whom I enjoy making things.
Jinny Beyer, one of the first lecturers I ever saw.
My great aunt was a wonderful quilter and I think she is my inspiration
I am a long time email follower
We sleep under quilts made by my husband's great grandmother, who was an incredibly prolific quilter especially since she pieced and quilted entirely by hand! When ever I get frustrated I think of all the amazing things she created that are still being used today.

What a lovely bundle of fabrics! I get a lot of color inspiration from nature. And I see piecing patterns everywhere! Thanks for the chance!
I think the classes for beginners are your inspiration at first. You need someone to help and teach you the basics. You also need a teacher to make sure you make that first quilt. Then you learn so much more from tutorials and creativity from designers from blog hops. Thank you for being a part of Sew Mama Sew giveaway and for giving me the chance to win. Merry Christmas to you.

I'm inspired by the older women in our modern quilt guild that you would never suspect are so richly skilled until you see their handiwork. And I'm inspired by the young generation of mom-bloggers who create with little ones under their feet, and then blog to share it with the rest of us. I'm inspired by the visual feast that can be found on Pinterest and Instagram. And I'm inspired by young woman in our local community who have no network yet of fellow creative souls, but simply add to whatever they find to make fabric and clothes their own.

Love this bundle – I'm drawn to anything rainbow! 🙂 I'd say that the latest book I bought – Vintage Quilt Revival is giving me a lot of inspiration lately!

I'm not sure I could pick a single greatest sewing inspiration. So many things spark my imagination. But maybe other quilters as a whole, or artists in general, since I draw a lot of inspiration from architecture, artwork, and fashion.

My greatest inspiration is my surrogate mom, Margaret who lives in Newfoundland. She is the mom of my best friend who passed away in 2000 and Marg adopted me into her family. I commissioned my first quilt from her (in beautiful 'perpetual springtime' blues, yellows & white – colors that remind us both of her daughter) and after purchasing 3 more quilts from her she encouraged me to learning how to make my own. She is funny, feisty and will celebrate her 90th birthday early in 2015; she unfortunately has had to stop quilting this last year but continues to do amazing needlework. I often use her quilts as reference when trying to figure out how to complete something.
I follow your blog! Love your work.

My mom is my inspiration for quilting. She started when I was in college and the bug quickly caught onto me. Our quilting friends are jealous, because we love to go on retreats & shop hops together. I am so lucky to have a great mom who started quilting!

Hi- I look to the internet for inspiration. That is how I find blogs to follow. I pick something I want to sew then google it to see who has tutorials or exciting ideas.
My sister. She is always so excited about quilting and she inspires me to try new things.

My greatest sewing inspiration… I think it is a culmination of many great sewers I have known, starting with my Aunt when I was young. I have met many since then. And now all the quilters I know.
Melissa Corry is my favorite quilter, mainly because she is the one who got me into this world to start with.
My Grandmama is my greatest inspiration. Her meticulous attention to detail is amazing!
I love Maureen Cracknell because she hasn't been quilting/sewing very long and her work is already amazing. SO talented! Inspiring for a sewer like myself who has only been sewing a couple years myself!
Eleanor Burns has always been an inspiration to me!

It might sound weird, but Pinterest has been my biggest influence. It's where I first started seeing modern quilts, and quilts that don't have a ton of triangles and such. Cleaner looks, straight lines, solid colors.
Thanks!
My mom inspires my sewing. She taught me everything she knew. Unfortunately she passed away last year so I no longer have her to bounce ideas off of but the memory of her inspires me to keep creating.

My Grandmother, she used to sew with me, although I suspect it wasn't her favorite thing, she was from a generation of women sewed out of necessity. She was patient, kind and taught me many things, she knew I loved it, and that is why she did it, out of love.

My inspiration was my Mom, I used to make anything quilty for her as she loved them all now that she has passed I've been struggling wondering who I'd quilt for but I've started making items for the Hospice she was in to raffle and they are happy for any and all items.

I would have to say Gwen Marston is my biggest inspiration because of the respect she gives to quilting history while still managing to forge a new path. Love her less than perfect methods and the spirit of her quilting.:) LOVE your mosaic!
these are gorgeous. thanks for sharing. My mom has been my inspiration. She is the one that first taught me to sew then later to quilt. She was patient, and a great teacher. There was no such thing as a silly question. Mom showed me the love of fabric and turning that into something for someone else. Something that would brighten their spirits for a long time to come.
My Mom is my greatest inspiration. She sewed everything … and I mean EVERYTHING … when I was growing up and into my adulthood. She sewed clothes but all kinds of other things, too. She was very creative and really enjoyed creating. I learned from her.
My mom. She's the one that planted the initial seed. 🙂
As the only crafty member of my family I really don't know what got into me! I think my mother encouraged me to sew so that she wouldn't have to!

I think the inspiration question is hard! My mom didn't really teach me to sew, and I wish I could say I sew for my daughters, but I really sew for me, it's my outlet. I guess I'm inspired by Pinterest. 🙂
I follow on Instagram
My Grandma and Great Grandma made quilts and inspired me to make my own, reading quilting blogs is a big inspiration, and the amazing fabrics we have now also spark creativity.
I think the Internet would be my greatest quilty inspiration. I'd always wanted to learn, but it wasn't until I discovered the online community that I finally made the leap. Your straight line quilting was one of the first things I saw that made me go WOW!

that would be my Mom, she made all my quilts and hand quilted each one.. so I didn't attempt to make any, until she had to get chemo, I stayed with her for months to help around the house and to pass time we assembled and quilted a beautiful watercolor quilt.. we made two tops from patterns in the book, but only one quilt was finished as Mom passed right after we finished my quilt, hers remains unfinished..
I'm inspired by some of the beautiful patterns for quilts on Pinterest.

My biggest quilting inspiration is nature. When colors and shapes look good in nature, they're going to look good on a quilt.
I get inspiration from all kinds of places – certainly I see new things I want to try from reading blogs.
my grandmother and my mother are my biggest inspirations. my grama did hand quilting up until she was 94 years old, the year before she died. and my mom has been sewing up quite a storm since retirement. amazing work.

I love this material, and it would look so good in my newest quilt, the one in my head that I haven't started yet, in rainbow colors. I take inspiration from my MIL who used to not only cross stitch all her blocks, but sewed them together and quilted them by hand. I will never be that kind of quilter, but she's my inspiration. cdahlgren at live dot com

I am new to sewing (at almost 40), but my mother is my greatest inspiration even though I started late. She did DIY before it had a name, she made wedding dresses out of sheets and they were beautiful. There is nothing she can't do. I hope she's around long enough to teach me the things I wish I would have learned when I was younger. Have a great day.

My DIL. She started sewing/making quilts about 6 years ago, started blogging 5 years ago and hasn't looked back. She will attempt anything, creates great patterns, tutorials, and quilt a longs. She doesn't let anything stop her. Despite sewing for a hundred years, I would probably still be tying whole cloth quilts if not for her enthusiasm and support.She has introduced me to a whole new world that I love and find so much joy in. thanks.
Wow, I can't pick just one inspiration. As a self-taught (for the most part) quilter, I get tons of inspiration and knowledge from the fabulous ladies in my local quilt guild!

My grandmother sewing quilts by hand and picking seeds out of her cotton to fill them was my inspiration for learning to quilt. We have such an easy way to make quilts today that I cannot not compare my skill to those who did not have the modern tools that we have today. However, I am also inspired by quilting bloggers like you who post for us to learn from you. Thanks for the inspiration you give us when we read your blog.
Gorgeous fabric. Anything in nature inspires me…the more colorful the better.
I love Cluck Cluck Sew. She makes really fun patterns and her fabric line is really sweet.
My greatest inspiration is my quilt guild

Jen Kingwell. She combines colors and patterns and blocks in a way that I would NEVER think to do, and I find the results stunning every time.
I am constantly inspired by Amand Jean's blog Crazy Mom Quilts.
There are so many influences! One is Mary Lou Weidman, whose books include lots of exercises on creativity. Another is Collaborative Quilting, and More Collaborative Quilting, by Freddie Moran and Gwen Marsdon.
