-----
To celebrate this, my 200th post on this blog, I'm going to have a little giveaway (because, really, with all of my blog absenteeism, who knew I'd hit 200? I'm so pleased!).
It's one of my modern patchwork pouches, complete with hand-printed loopy twill tape & a glitter zipper charm. For a chance to win it, leave me a comment with your favorite current music -- album, artist, or song -- & I'll pick a winner on Monday.
Comments are now closed, thanks!

All of your projects are fantastic. Thanks for holding the contest. I'd proudly own a patchwork pouch. My newest favorite song is Wrecking Ball, by Kate Shutt.

There has been lots of Death Cab for Cutie flying around our place these days. My favorite of their songs is Marching Bands of Manhattan. And I LOVE the quilt for your mom. Was she totally blown away??!

Love the quilt for your mom! Current fav music for me is Fall Out Boy, especially their song, Thanks For The Memories.

Favorite current music is Muse. Pixies are my all-time favorite, but they don't seem to be writing any new music, whereas Muse is. And I get to see them play in September (opening for U2). Whee!

I love your mom's quilt. Listening to Lisa Hannigan, over and over and over.
Posted by: Kristine | May 15, 2009 at 06:40 PM
Well, the quilt is awesome and I love the colors. As for what I like currently - Bloc Party, Anais Mitchell, definitely AlphaBeat and Robyn (the singer, not me).

Although I don't have kids of my own yet, I am the purchaser of children's music at the library where i work, so i listen to lots of indie children's music, looking for good stuff. my current favorite song is "blanket" by danielle sansone from her album "Two Flowers."
Cute pouch, but great quilt for your mom!

My favorite album just came out Tuesday. It's Sandra McCracken's "Live Under Lights and Wires" - like a live acoustic greatest-hits. You'll love it. Everyone will.

Current music: Johnny Cash "Hurt" is still one of my all time favorites. Also, a local Nebraska group: The String Beans. My tyke loves to listen to their silly songs.

I'd like to snuggle under that quilt and eat the pizza! Congratulations on 200!
Rodrigo y Gabriela - their album by the same name. I could listen to track #2 (Diablo Rojo) over and over and over and over and not get tired of it.
