    My favorite tool for crafting is creativity and imagination. With those two things, no matter what "real" tools you have, you can make/turn anything into something extraordinary. And, I mentioned the giveaway in a post. Hopefully, you have TONS of new readers.

    i'm digging squares over stripes and i'm loving the fabrics used on the last pictured pillow. If we get to choose our own color theme, i love anything with blues, aquas, teals, greens and pops of warmer colors.

  2. How awesome are you?!?!?! What a wonderful prize!!! My favorite tool for crafting...hmmmm....scissors!!! Lame, but true!!! You can cut out so much and make your own embellishments and designs!!! A close second would be paint! Make your own pages, change the look of anything, you get the picture. ;)

  14. Just became a follower... found you through emjay's blog.

    My favorite crafting tool is my sewing machine... no contest! I just LOVE to sew!!

    I honestly love all of your pillows and color schemes but I think the rectangle shape the best. I think I like the patchwork squares too. And the colors you chose (especially in the last photo) are perfect!

  17. Oh, what a great give-a-way! I love all the pillows! So if I would win I would chose the same color theme, i think. :-) It would be soooo Perfect inour home! :-)
    My favorite tool would be a pencil. Not really exciting, but almost everything starts with a sketch in some way. Other favorite tools are brushes, my sewing machine and scissors. I realized we have so many scissors in this house! They are for paper, fabric, the once we use in the kitchen, others for cutting hair and so on.
    You can find a blog post about the give-a-way here: http://sagoliktpysslar.blogspot.com/2009/06/run-with-scissors-saxar.html

  26. Hi Janel,
    You sure have been busy blogging!
    Is seems like that is the only way I can keep up with you anymore. Anyway, I am a follower, I love all of the pillows and my favorite tool for crafting is the snappy tweezers that you and Nicole got me for Christmas a few years back. I use them all the time for adding bling and sticky stuff!!!:)

    Last of all I am not going to promote you on my blog since you and Janet are the only ones that read it....no point!

  28. Hey!

    I'm also a follower...

    I love the square patchwork pillow. I would like probably blues, aquas, "anthropologie" yellow, and maybe some greens in my pillow. If I'm choosing...otherwise I'm sure you would come up with something gorgeous and fabulous on your own!

    My favorite crafting tool...or the one I get most use out of...is my scizzors! I use lots of felt, fabric and I scrapbook so I wouldn't be able to do any of those without them!

    Thanks so much! :)
