we have a trailer in a trailer park in the country, and spend as much of the summer as we can there. It's nice getting out of the city as I live in Montreal Quebec.
I love hosting a sewing camp for my. Granddaughters.
Unfortunately, during the summer I am usually homebound to the air condition due to physical needs. But, I do have more sewing time so that is a plus. :)
Great giveaway...I love summer to go to the beaches & go boating.
This year I will go for a girls only vacation at Hilton Head with sisters and friends. There will be reading on the beach, hand sewing project (hexies) and quilt shop visits! Can't wait....
As we are Farming I am in the fields raking hay for my Hubby.Thanks for the giveaway.
Camping every second I can!
We generally spend a lot of time at the cabin :)
I love to spend vacations with family or friends, relaxing, eating great food, going for long walks and having a small hand-sewing project to work on when time permits - such a lovely change from sewing on my machine which is what I usually do at home.
Well until I graduate (fingers crossed 2015) it's class time. After quality famiy time with place tbd :)
This summer we took a local vacation...just the hubby and I...as finally, the kids are all old enough to have their own plans. Bliss!
Thanks for the de-stash giveaway...looks lovely.
Hoping to make a trip to Boston to visit my son and daughter-in-law!
I hate to admit it but since we retired and moved to Mexico we haven't taken a vacation......living here is a vacation.

I help my mom garden or house sit :)
We take our 3 adult kids and their families to a resort to have some quality family time.
I hope to be riding my horse as well and sending some time designing and quilting.
"summer vacation" never meant anything to me other than "where in the world am I going to find daycare that I can afford...and why can't they have school year round?" as I had to work and my 2 kids were home alone often....and I worried and called them all the time! But what it did mean was my kids had a break from their "grind" and could sleep late and stay up late and have fun for a few months! I love those prints/colors, by the way!
We rarely ever get one 3 in 35 yrs, but we always go to Port Aransas,TX. 300 miles away, our honeymoon was there and we love it there. Wish we had a home, I found a quilt shop on the island last year, but she was closing-so sad. THANK YOU

We love having picnics and pool party's.
On summer vacation, I try to sleep in late and catch up on reading. Thanks for the giveaway!
We vacation at home since we live on the Gulfcoast in the Destin/Miramar Beach area.

We usually head to a cabin in Colorado. Time for R&R.
We plan to take some short day trips to visit some of the beautiful spots in our home state.
Summer vacation means so many different things to me. Whether it's my toes in the sand, camping by the fire light, flying through the air on a roller coaster, or simply lying in a hammock - I don't care as long as I am spending time with my loved ones and making memories.

Hmm I have a soon to be 3 yr old and another one due this simmer. I think I will be trying to get as much sleep this summer vacation as I possibly can.
I work in my garden. In September it's still summer here in the PNW and that's our best time to go on a good long camping trip.
To us, summer vacation means no school, since we were both teachers. Now, every day is summer vacation! So, I guess that means read, sew, knit, make baskets.
Would love to go the mountains where it is cool!
Our summer vacations are usually spent with family in Virginia.
Thanks,
Peggy

I sit back and enjoy having a break from routine, especially making school lunches.
Enjoying my home state, Alaska! We have much to do here in the summer and the long summer days help us accomplish them.
We are going to a family reunion, and checking out a new RV park close to Lake Tahoe. Would love to win this. Thank you

We plan to take lots of trips to the beach! Thanks for the chance to win!!
We have talk the D word at our house with an 8 yrs old it always comes up. So maybe mickeys world!
Would love to go to Minnesota to visit family. Sadly, staying here and working :(
it is still summer here in Australia and I am heading to the Gold Coast for a relaxing beach holiday and my daughters wedding
WE GO TO THE BEACH!
I just love to be outside! I live in Chicago so we spend a lot of time cooped up in the winter, so my favorite thing to do in the summer is be outside :)
Camping with my family! I love being near the water and the relaxing mode of camping :)
Visit the grands in Kansas City as often as possible!
We always go camping at least once, and spend a lot of time at the pool.
This year is visiting my brother in Oklahoma, and living at the pool with my kids, and whatever else comes our way :)
I usually travel to visit my children and grandbaby. This year I hope to move closer to them and that will be my big adventure for the summer.
My husband and I are going to Belgium with a couple of friends to attend Tommorrowland, an EDM music festival. So excited!
I LOVE to BBQ, Swim, hike, road trips and LOVE making new memories with friends and family :)
We're planning to stay at home. We'll take advantage of the local parks, walking and picnicking. I hope to do a lot of sewing and catch up on my reading. Looking forward to a relaxing vacation with a low carbon footprint!
I started quilting!

We're currently stationed in Europe so we're trying to take advantage of that :)
I'm thinking we'll probably take at least two short vacations - Lisbon and Milan this year :)
Golf! I'm retired and live on a golf course so my summer vacation is already planned.
Well, we usually go to historical areas for vacation. We both love that, but I always have mapped out every quilt shop in the area, in every town we plan to stop in. I have found many wonderful things by doing this...and I meet so many wonderful people. There is an added bonus....my husband does not mind me doing this! He loves watching me create things!
We go on a trip each summer usually around the end of July. My husband, two daughters and myself enjoy the time together away from home and our jobs. We have not decided where we will go this year. We are enjoying exploring parts of the United States we have not been to before.
Loving the giveaway! Wow! Last summer we went to the Outer Banks of North Carolina - BEST VACATION EVER! This summer I think we're going to stay closer to home and explore our home state a bit more (Wisconsin). I think sometimes your own state can be taken for granted and there are amazing things there to discover! We also do a 'Kids in the Garden' program at our apple orchard and my girls take swim lessons, gymnastics, etc - busy, busy! Thanks again!

Roadtrips and sailing.
During our summer vacation we used to camp all around the state of Ohio but now that our kids are grown, married and have children of their own my DH and I are just now adjusting to that so I'm thinking we are going to enjoy more traveling just the two of us now.
Besides visiting our daughter,we love to go to Branson, MO for a few days
That would mean planning ahead....not easy...guess I'll wait and see if I can travel to somewhere.
We always wait until the last month before to decide where we are going. Florida is our favorite place but I am thinking Ozarks this year.
Generally we visit family. This year we're hoping to make it "home" to Alaska to see my parents and brothers. For the "summer vacation" from school we try to explore closer to home at the river, ride bikes, and swim.
this summer we are going to drive to Wisconsin from Georgia to visit family and maybe a trip to the beach would be nice!

We always spend a week on the beach on the Gulf side of Florida! It is a great time to just relax and enjoy family time. melcrafts [at] Hotmail [dot] com
We go see our son who is in school about 800 miles away. It's fun to have a home base and explore the area. Thanks for the chance to win.
We don't have any special plans but the kids love to go outside and play in our kiddie pool or sandbox. That's our typical day during the summer!
Try not to melt in the Texas heat. I see a lot of summer dresses in my sewing summer future.
Oh summer... I (hope) to go to Trinidad to visit my sister and her little ones. Sun and sea and good company!

Summer is for working on the house. Repair, re-paint and remodel. Oh, and always for quilting. Great giveaway, thanks for the opportunity.
Garden! My favorite outdoor activity!
Our summer vacations have changed since my son was critically injured and is not a vent-dependent quadriplegic! We stay close to home and I sew and read!
I go camping at Assateague Island every summer for vacation!!! Love it there!!! Come visit!
Go to California to spend time with my Mom
This summer vacation we hope to be able to spread our creative minds to everyone. We want to spend time with our families and enjoy life as much as possible!
Our vacation for many years has been the national Council of Corvette Clubs' national convention. We have been from Maryland to Colorado and from Florida to Minnesota! So much fun and of course shop hopping! It is fun to see so many different fabrics in other parts of the country!
Stay indoors! I burn so badly in the summer, I tend to stay away from the sun, unfortunately... ;)
We go to the beach for a few weeks and this is when I get caught up on reading and also
most of my hand appliqué done.
If I get a chance I like to go to the beaches of Greece!
Being the great parents that we are,we do our major traveling during the year :). Summer is mostly camping.
We've just finished our summer holidays (southern hemisphere)
We go camping - cheap and fun!

We're hoping to go to South Dakota to visit my husbands sister and her daughter.
Sit on the beach as much as possible!!! Doesn't matter what beach....just give me the shoreline!
justmommy@sbcglobal.net
Go to all the summer festivals around the place!
Go to the beach and sit for hours doing nothing but watch the ocean and the beautiful blue sky!

I like to go fishing at the lake, go to the beach and if I can, go to Maine to visit my family.
Visit the family in England.
i am a school bus driver, and i QUILT during summer...i am a full time driver, so i am usually too tired, and my aching backs slows me down the rest of the year!
i love these fabrics...thx for the chance to win!
gorgeous fabric, thanks for the chance. WE usually go for a week down to Devon, by the coast and stay in a rented house with the rest of our family. We chill out, go for walks, make stuff, eat
We don't typically do much over summer break but this year we are going to Disney :)
We like to take day trips to see the local sites. Our favorite is Monterey!
*hugs*deb
I want to feel my toes in the water!
Our summers are spent with visiting grand children!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I usually end up working all summer since that is my busy time and take off in the fall for vacation. This summer/fall I hope to make a return trip to the outer banks with my hubby and his family for the first time in 4 years.
I don't know if I am a non-reply blogger so...

We will go camping several times over the summer - but this summer we will be sending the daughter off to college so happy and sad at the same time!
On summer holidays we spend a lot of time at the local parks, spray parks, and the beach. Our family is all about cheap fun.
We swim and play outside as much as possible!
Summer vacation is time to spend with family - my favorite thing is to visit the (extended) family camp in Maine -- long lazy days by the lake. Unfortunately, i don't make it there every summer.
We hang outside around the pool. We usually don't go anywhere special :)
This summer and 2012 was "have a baby". 2013 didn't get a vacation, so I guess that's the only way I get one!
We visit my family for a week in Myrtle Beach, SC. So fun to get together with the cousins!
I'm looking forward to Maine this summer with a few side trips into Canada. Love the weather there in August and September.

We spend summertime at baseball games, amusement parks and family reunions...in between working days, of course.
Taking my grandson on a train ride!
We usually take a few day trips to the beach and one of the bigger Texas cities. Pretty low-key!
Hope to spend this summer holidays by the sea with my husband and kids.
As much as I'd love to say we go on fabulous vacations to the ends of the world, nope, we don't. Most years we stick close to home and do day trips. Sometimes we end up staying overnight somewhere if we get a little further from home than originally planned and others we are back home that night. We don't do this as often as we used to, but hopefully this coming summer we can do more of it, or maybe go further away but, we used to hop in the car and make a decision which direction we go after we get near the highway or interstate. Then it's always a surprise where we end up, but whether it's a long drive ending up sightseeing somewhere or just finding a new place to eat, we are together and that's the best part.
We used to do this for our sanity when we first got together because I had 3 teenaged boys and he had 1 himself which we melded into one family. We never told them when we left if we were going away for an hour or overnight to keep them on their toes and give any advance notice so they could plan parties. haha That was only possible because we had cell phones which they could contact us at anytime and us them. It was fun though never knowing where we'd end up.
I spend the spring and summer in my garden. :o)
I plan to take one class this summer. And to make my first full size quilt. I've no idea what it will look like, but I have time to figure that out!
This summer we are going on a road trip and I will be hand sewing in the car!
We hang around the house, boring but true! Thanks for the chance to win. I don't think I'm a no-reply but just in case dawnm1993@gmail.com
I don't think we will be going on a vacation this year because of a lot of family commitments this summer, we'll only be doing one and two day mini trips.
I will be sewing and playing with the grandkids this summer.
no plans just to enjoy warm weather for a change. babscorbitt@gmail dot com
when the kids were smaller we went camping, now i relax on a staycation, much less packing lol
The best thing I do (or don't do, in this case) on my summer "vacation" is not work, since I am a teacher :) This summer we are also planning a trip to Niagara Falls and a short trip to Las Vegas.
For the past couple years we would float the Clackamas river from noon til sundown, spend the weekend at Rockaway beach, and go crabbing and fishing. But this year we have a little one who just turned 5 months old so we are going to parks and attending sewing classes so we can make him some baby clothes :)
For our summer vacation we like to chill out with no plans - sometimes a drive for a picnic, sometimes doing absolutely nothing.
No vacation plans this summer, out of budget.
We did a quilt cruise to Alaska in 2013
I get 2 vacations a year and during that time I spend as much time as possible with my granddaughter!! So, I do whatever my kids want....within reason lol
When I go on vacation I usually go to table rock lake or FL! My email is aleckerson90@gmail.com
I travel to table rock lake! My email is aleckerson90@gmail.com
We rent a house in the Outer Banks for a week.
We travel to a Florida beach and relax for the most part. But sometimes we parasail, zipline, go on dolphin tours, collect shells and have fun, fun, fun!
We love to camp on the weekends. The hubby and kids do long long hikes while I stay back and relax by doing some reading or crafty
Our plan is to 'staycation' and definitely catch up on some zzzz.
Narrow boating and out in the sunshine.
Rainy days will be patchwork, knitting and crafting!
Love the colours of this give away!
Hope your summer spectacular!
Thanks
Corinne Sykes
As little as possible - a good book, a bottle or two of good wine and a little EPP project!
The fabric is beautiful. I would love to be the recipient. On summer vacation I try to allot time for tending flowers and crafting, be it quilting, counted cross stitching, or paper crafting. Just like to keep my hands busy. Thanks for the beautiful giveaway.
We get together with family and do dinners, outings, and camping.
