Giveaway is now closed. Thanks for entering!
Welcome!
Welcome!
The short summary {because I know you just want to get to the giveaway...}
My name is Kate. My dad calls me Katie Mae.
I have two sons - the Dude, who is in second grade, and the Little Man, who is still in Korea. We are bringing him home this spring.
My husband is currently enjoying an all expenses paid vacation to an undisclosed location.
I have two cats. One is very fat and lazy. The other is very annoying, which means he is involved in my sewing as much as he possibly can be.
When I am sewing, I finish tops. And then let them sit foreeeeeeeever instead of quilting them. The links at the top have some of my finishes. The links on the side go to my Facebook, Pinterest, etc.
When I'm not sewing, I'm running. I ran three half marathons this year, and next year, I'm going for three in 83 days in order to qualify for the Half Fanatics.
And finally, the giveaway!
A layer cake of Millie's Closet by Lori Holt/Bee in My Bonnet {Riley Blake}
If you want it, you'll have to work for it. I want to know your favorite Beatles song. If you don't have one, you don't deserve to win. No judgment - but if your favorite is "Yellow Submarine" - you are my son and not eligible to win.
Winner will be selected Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. CST, by Mr. Random.
Don't be no-reply. It's annoying. Make sure I can contact you.
International entries welcome!
California Dreamin' :) love it!
ReplyDeleteI want to hold your hand!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway Kate!
Honestly, I had to google a list of their songs and then choose one that I've heard of because I don't really know the Beatles. Sorry.
ReplyDelete"Can't Buy Me Love" is the one I liked the most of the ones I recognized.
"In My Life". It gets to me every time. Good luck in your upcoming half marathons!
ReplyDeleteEleanor Rigby.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
I want to Hold you Hand---think it was my first exposure to the Beatles.. datin myself!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Anna (Go With Him) from Please Please Me as that's the song I'm named after! Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteFirst one that comes to mind is Let It Be. I know it's John Lennon, I just love the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say it's Come Together. Or Hard Day's Night, depending on how work is going. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Beattles song would have to be Across the Universe.
ReplyDeleteSince I am old enough to remember when the Beatles first came on the scene I have to pick my favorite from way back then, "She Loves You".
ReplyDeleteSorry, I really don't like the Beatles music. Never really got into it. Hope that doesn't mean I'm out of the running! : )
ReplyDeletei like earlier Beatles, like Ticket to Ride.
ReplyDeleteShe love me.
ReplyDeleteMy email is sshuttrbugg at aol dot com
DeleteRocky Racoon
ReplyDeleteLove your question, favourite song is Lucy in the sky with diamonds... I know it has a different meaning but in the totally innocent way my sister is called Lucia and we sometimes call her Lucy and her mind is always in the sky... well at least not in earth! So we tease her with that song. thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is one of my favorites
ReplyDeleteWhen I started dating my now husband, then boyfriend, I Want To Hold Your Hand was popular so it brings back good memories. But honestly I love Yellow Submarine. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say that Hey Jude is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
ReplyDeleteHello Goodbye -- been great for teaching opposites to toddler!! Love your quilts; thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love Eleanor Rigby
ReplyDeleteI love so many of them. My parent's wedding song is "Hey Jude." I'm not kidding, so I get really misty eyed whenever I hear it. I also like Let It Be and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
ReplyDeleteEleanor Rigby. . . we used to play it in high school orchestra. It was one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. My favorite is Hey Jude.
ReplyDeleteNorwegian wood
ReplyDeleteA day in the life!
ReplyDeleteI Want to Hold Your Hand!
ReplyDeleteOb La Dee, Ob La Dah !
ReplyDelete(Bet you are singing it right now...) Congrats on your addition to your family.
My favorite Beatles song varies from time to time, but right now it's "In My Life". I even like the spoken version that Sean Connery did (is it wrong to say that?) :)
ReplyDeletemine is hey jude
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Lady Madonna. I also make a lot of tops and then procrastinate quilting them... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI want to hold your hand... a classic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!
Hey Jude :) but yellow submarine is a hit with my daughter and I would have said that one, but i am not your son, however second grade was a good year for me :)
ReplyDeleteHey Jude - partially because it pisses off my mother-in-law.
ReplyDeleteOr Lennon's Grow Old Along With me (my wedding song)
Hey Jude...used to play this in pep band in high school!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
happiness is a warm gun.
ReplyDeleteor julia. that's the reason for my younger daughter's middle name.
or sargaent pepper's lonely heart's club band.
or while my guitar gently weeps.
i love the beetles. my four-year-old says it's her favorite band, too.
thanks for the chance!!!
PS - delete this one so i don't get counted twice, but i wanted to say congrats on your son - what a wonderful thing to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteand thank you to you and your husband for the sacrifices you both make.
Back in the USSR
ReplyDeleteThank you for the fun giveaway!
Hey Jude for me.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Beatles - and when I went to Vegas, Beatles Love was the only show I wanted to see - and I did! I love Lady Madonna; Hey, Jude; Help and so many more. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleterocky raccoon :)

Hey Jude, I want to hold your hand, or any other Beatle's song my 18 year old musician is "jamming" on!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
My dad's is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
ReplyDeleteMine... probably Hello,Goodbye. So catchy :)
Hey Jude has always been a favourite
ReplyDeleteHey Jude.. don't make it bad.. lalalallllaaaalalalalala ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice christmas time...
Your description of yourself and your life totally made me laugh. I like Gotta Get You Into My Life.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's no way I could finish a top and let it sit there. On the other hand, I can cut everything out and then get distracted by another project! And since I've spilled the beans I have one top halfway finished, and two cut out ready to start? Who does that? Most people hate cutting!
Hmmm...probably 8 days a week.
ReplyDeletelimor477 at aol dot com
Come Together! And I love running, too. Congrats on your 3 halfs!
ReplyDeletehey jude
ReplyDeletelove hey jude,
ReplyDeleteLove most of them, but probably Hey Jude best. Terrific giveaway, thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteBut I was going to say Yellow Submarine! ;) Really, it's probably While My Guitar Gently Weeps, though.
ReplyDeleteWow -- Great intro and I'll now be following along with your blog. Hey Jude is the song, although really any of them! Thanks for the giveaway ... and a big congrats on your second son arriving at your home soon!
ReplyDeleteTough choice. I'd say Hard Days Night.
ReplyDeleteYesterday....
ReplyDeleteImagine!
ReplyDeleteHey Jude is probably my favorite song of the Beatles. I was pretty young when they first came on the scene, but enjoyed their later music. Congratulations on your son that you will be getting this spring.
ReplyDeletehey jude
ReplyDeleteo/' I wanna hold your ha-a-a-and. . . I wanna hold your hand. :D
ReplyDeleteOoohhhh the Beatles are my *fav* honestly, my fav.
ReplyDeleteRocky Racoon! I love so many but me and my Dad would sing this one all the time. Especially around the camp fire with his guitar!
I Wanna Hold Your Hand! Oh, I was in the audience when they debuted on Ed Sullivan - screamed until I was soundless!!
ReplyDeleteCome Together
ReplyDeleteI want to hear more about your wee son coming from Korea - what wonderful news for you. I'll have to go wit I wanna hold your hand even though I love yellow submarine (does it help that I have kids???)

ReplyDeleteA Day In The Life. colieblum1 at gmail dot com. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Jude!
ReplyDeleteCan't buy me love
ReplyDeleteYou know, it could also be your niece voting Yellow Submarine. And yes, I know, I'm not eligible to win either. :P
ReplyDeleteHands down, "Let It Be." That brings back memories of college!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite has to be "Hey Jude". It's one of those songs that can just cheer me up when I've had a really bad day.
ReplyDelete"Hey Jude". I remember collecting Beetle's cards, came in a pack with gum.
ReplyDeleteLet It Be - I don't think there are any Beatles songs I don't like though.
ReplyDeleteeleanor rigby. such a wonderfully sad song.
ReplyDeleteOb la di, ob la da (Life Goes On), is my favorite. It's a catchy tune and then you hum it all day.
ReplyDeleteI love "When I'm Sixty-Four" because it's bouncy, it's delightful, it's about 'old love' - love that's lasted decades and is still going strong.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me happy and I love singing it.
Hey Jude is my favorite. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI wanna hold your hand is right up there and I'm not sure there's a bad one in the bunch.

ReplyDelete"Yesterday" is my favorite. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteerrr..never really listened to their music
ReplyDeleteYou've got to hide your love away....
ReplyDeleteamandaj@cinci.rr.com
I Wanna Hold Your Haaaand...
ReplyDeleteI love all the Beatles, but if I had to pick one song, it would be "In My Life". Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is "When I'm 64." True love!
ReplyDeleteNever found a Beatles song that I liked, yet. :) Maybe there's one out there, I haven't sat down and listened to everything they did... ;) Maybe it was having older brothers who wanted to listen to them ALL THE FREAKING TIME and I never could play *MY* records. Hee hee!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Beatles song is Blackbird - always made me wish I could play guitar.
ReplyDeleteI also would have to say "Yesterday." The Beatles got really big when I was dating my first husband! Of course, I was really, really young at the time.... ;-)
ReplyDeletelots of good songs to choose from.....i like I've Just Seen a Face
ReplyDeleteHey Jude, I mean Kate! I read hubby your post cuz it cracked me up & it cracked him up as well. I said I was putting "Hey Jude" cuz I sang it in middle school choir & he said, "It's not 'I want to hold your hand?'" Yes hubby, that's my favorite too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite would probably be Blackbird or Eleanor Rigby, but I will say Paperback Writer since I didn't see it mentioned. Great question and introduction!
ReplyDeleteEleanor Rigby or Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!
ReplyDelete"A Long and Winding Road". Just saw Paul McCartney perform a week ago! Lucky, Lucky, ME. Love to win.
ReplyDeleteYesterday...makes me tear up every time!
ReplyDeleteYesterday.
ReplyDeleteI love "I wanna hold you hand" :D
ReplyDeleteI love "When i´m 64". It´s gonna be my wedding song!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is 'Hey Jude' so I loved the end of the Olympics opening ceremony this year!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of your running ability - good luck in your 3 in 83 ! thanks for such a fab giveaway - I love millie's closet - my favourite beetles song would be all you need is love :)
ReplyDeleteI Love me some Beatles and some Riley Blake! My fave Beatles song is Maxwell Silver Hammer :) Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteDo I have to pick just one? It would have to be Hey Jude.
ReplyDeleteI love them all but Hey Jude is a fav
ReplyDeleteI love Here, There, and Everywhere and pretty much everything sung on the I Am Sam soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteHey Jude. thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour prompt is HILARIOUS. My son loves Yellow Submarine, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to Eleanor Rigby.
Why Michelle of course!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say Hey Jude for favourite Beatles song. Thanks for the chance in the giveaway. And if you feed the annoying cat enough will it get too fat to interfere with your sewing?! Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteJulia. I sing it to my daughter all the time. :)
ReplyDelete(Also? I also have a fat cat and annoying cat, and I've just started running again. I ran a 5K over the weekend & I'm raring to keep going.) xo
'When I'm Sixty-Four' is just one of them. My husband says I listen to hippie music
ReplyDeleteFavorite? Possibly Strawberry Fields, such a beautiful tune. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's pretty difficult to me to choose one. But since it's the one I had in my head when my third daughter was born, it is "Golden Slumbers" (but alone, without "carry that weight" following). Now, it's the song I listen to even during my working days when I get too angry...
ReplyDeletethat's an easy one! my fave beatles song is "Michelle".. because that's my name, and i always loving having "my" song :D
ReplyDeleteI Want to Hold Your Hand!!!
ReplyDeleteamyd14_1999@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteI Want to Hold you Hand. Thanks for the great giveaway!

In My Life or I Will. I Feel Fine is pretty good too. Or Penny Lane... or...
ReplyDeleteI wanna hold your hand!
ReplyDeleteI love Eleanor Rigby!
ReplyDelete"When I'm sixty-four" - it's creeping up on us! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWell, the first one I thought of was Yellow submarine and since I'm not your son I guess I'd better pick another one! LOL! Eleanor Rigby is a good one!
ReplyDeletehulseybg at gmail dot com
I want to hold your hand
ReplyDeleteThere isn't a Beatles song I don't like!
ReplyDeleteBeing for the benefit of Mr Kite is a favourite
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Strawberry Fields are my two favourites, but there are many many more I like! I am the Walrus anybody?! Thanks for the chance to win such great fabric!
ReplyDeleteSgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts club band is mine.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on my mood. Blackbird at this minute. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteElenor Rigby
ReplyDeleteBlackbird has to be my favourite, my mum used to sing it to me.
ReplyDeleteThat is hard!! I guess it would have to be Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds :)
ReplyDelete"Oh! Darling." My Dad would put Abbey Road in the car and we would listen to it while going to the bus stop and sing to each other. But that whole album is great.
ReplyDeleteShe loves me yeah yeah yeah! Well done on the running!
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm 64 would be my favorite unless it was Back in the USSR
ReplyDeleteHi there!!
ReplyDeleteOurs is definitely Birthday. I know, I know, but we hear it every morning on our way into town for work and school. Every morning our local radio show does a birthday call out and it's always the last song I hear before I hit work.
My 12 y.o. daughter says her's is Yellow submarine and she denies even knowing your son.
Can't buy me love.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Beatle's song is Elanor Rigby. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteEleanor Rigby or Hey Jude (which my Beatles loving husband hates)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is The Michelle which is my name.
ReplyDeletemframe00@gmail.com
Eleanor Rigby-for some reason I sang it as a kid and still know the words. Haunting melody. Sad story.
ReplyDeleteI Will. Twas my wedding song. Although (ducking) I prefer the Alison Krauss version.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you, sorry! Was too busy ducking.
DeleteI want to hold your hand is my Beetles favorite. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI like yellow submarine...! Yes, others are more beautiful but in the end... no other song makes me instantly smile but this one! So while thinking and listening to different songs... I ended up with this :)
ReplyDeletenumber nine... number nine...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is "Hey, Jude!"
ReplyDeleteHey Jude has to be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a great giveaway.

Can't Buy Me Love
ReplyDeletesdspicer(at)comcast(dot)net
Let it Be.
ReplyDeletekristie_keely(at)yahoo(d0t)com
Elenore Rigby - we sang it at school in Vocal group and it brings back happy memories.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you describe your family, I wish you well with what I assume is an adoption and pray for safe return of your husband when his tour of duty (I assume military) is over.
Thanks for sharing
Nice fabric, and best wishes to you with everything your family has going on. I like "I want to Hold Your Hand" just because it's fun and happy.
ReplyDeletei have a couple but i want to hold you hand
ReplyDeleteLet It Be is my favorite song by The Beatles.
ReplyDeleteHello Goodbye! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love California Dreamin'
ReplyDeleteI love Blackbird :) Thanks so much for participating in Giveaway Day!
ReplyDeleteI like hello goodbye :)
ReplyDeletestarsandsunshineblog at gmail dot com
Hey Jude
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love your sense of humor!!! My husband is a Beatles fanatic so I'd have to say my fave Beatles song would be the first song he sung to me "You Really Got a Hold on Me"! Yep! He's a romantic! :) Thanks so much for the wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love I want to hold your hand.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite might be Norwegian Wood, but I mostly know it via a Cornershop cover, which was sung in Punjabi. My mom had all the Beatles records when I was a kid, but we were never allowed to listen to them, and then my sister traded them for pot in a fit of teenage misbehaviour and I never really got to know many of their songs, except via covers. Which are EVERYWHERE.
ReplyDelete(clumsy.chord(at)gmail.com)
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...did you notice most Beatles songs have the word "yeah" in them alot! I Wanna Hold Your Hand.
ReplyDeleteDeborah
pinkscissorsdesign @gmail .com
All you need is love! To be fair that is not a fair question. I love so many Beatles songs! I have all their albums...yes, vinyl..from when I was a kid. Passed down to me from my father.
ReplyDeleteI want to hold your hand! My daughters dance recital song at age 3 was yellow submarine. We listened to it over and over and she loved every minute of it. What is it with 3 year olds? :) Great giveaway! I love Lori Holt fabrics!
ReplyDeleteIn My Life! I used to be in a female barbershop group and we sang that one all the time.
ReplyDeleteThe "Hello Goodbye" song. My son was singing that before he could really even talk... seriously :)
ReplyDeleteSo many songs to love, but no one said Penny Lane so I'll go with that one. Thanks for the fab Giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHere comes the sun... Makes me think of when I lived in London... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLucy in the Sky with Diamonds! thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you Katie Mae--your intro made me smile... Hey Jude is my pick; My eldest has Jude as his middle name so maybe that earns me an extra point or something ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Jude - because we played a great arrangement of it when I was in my high school band, many years ago. :)
ReplyDeleteAll You Need is Love....
ReplyDeletesowingstitches [at] gmail [dot] com
I wanna hold your hand... sing it all the time to my daughters when we cross the street! mynojo at gmail dot com!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is While My Guitar Gently Weeps. George was my favorite Beatle.
ReplyDeleteLove love me do...thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the beatles! Esp. the white album. But my favourite song is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck with all the running- 83 days? yikes!
ReplyDeleteI really love The Beatles, so it's hard, but my favorite song has got to be You've Got to Hide Your Love Away. A more well known one that I like is In My Life.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Yellow Submarine. :( I have memories of learning how to to play it on the violin as a young'un. However, Hey Jude is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteHey Jude of course!
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible with names.. I think it's love me do? You know, the one that goes, Love, love me do, you know I love you, so pleaeaeaease, love me do... stuck in my head now, lol. :)
ReplyDelete
