My favorite childhood memory was living on a farm in PA. We weren't farmers but my dad had always wanted to have a farm for his kids. The place had been an old chicken farm so there was a huge barn with a concrete floor that, at one time, had been heated to keep the chicken's feet warm, I suppose. Anyway, it was a long structure and made the best all-season place to ride bikes, play hopscotch and create musical productions!

I love that fabric! My favorite memory is growing up the youngest of 8 and taking long family road trips from the east coast to the west.

We usually went on a lot of road trips during the summer & that is my favorite memory-but not the times spent at Ford dealerships in various small towns waiting on car repairs!

My favorite childhood memory (today) is of my grandparents driving my sister and me the one minute from my elementary school to the Safeway parking lot near Japanese school, parking under a tree so we could have our afternoon snack, and then driving the fifteen seconds from the parking lot to Japanese school to drop us off. :D
My favorite childhood memory is riding my bike to the beach every day in the summer. It was only a mile away so bike there in the morning, bike home for lunch, bike back to the beach and then bike home in time for dinner.

Favorite childhood memory...definitely long summers out of school, spent with my grandparents - fishing, learning to sew, and doing a lot of reading. Oh, to have that much free time again!
Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite childhood memory is a week @ Ocean Park Maine (where we'd go every summer) and finding shells early in the morning on walks with my grandfather. And nightly lobster dinners!
I tweeted the giveaway @stephmabry
Favorite childhood memory-going to the beach with my family.
Probably riding in the tractors and combine with my dad...and baking with my mom. These are still favorite things for my kids to do when they visit...everything is homegrown & homemade. (very different from the city life my kids have now)
when i was two and three my grandpa would take me along to run errands and hang out with the guys. he was a truck driver. i remember meeting lots of enormous men, some of them covered in grease, most of them smelly. they were also the kindest most good humoured people i'd met in my life thus far.
they taught me about driving and poker. there'd be 6 huge men jammed in a booth eating pancakes. if you looked a bit closer there'd be a tiny girl somewhere among them being dared to eat a whole stack. i remember falling asleep in the car and waking up to one of the most spectacular sights to a toddler. fireworks. in actuality, they were sparks, we were entering an auto repair garage that belonged to one of my grandpa's buddies.
those were the days!
also! it's my birthday on monday the 16th. wouldn't some lovely fabrics be a nice gift for a still very tiny albeit wise-beyond her years 22-year-old!?
i'm on the email list too!
looking for those big black furry caterpillars in the anise plants. they smelled so good.
Oh my so long ago it has to be the old tire swing on the ancient apple tree in the center of the orchard.

What is your favorite childhood memory?
That is a hard one... I'd say all the backyard fun I had with my friends, my family, my dogs - throughout all years of school I can remember A LOT of good times in our 1/2 acre back yard :)

Fav childhood memory? Swinging on my papa's arm.
I love that line! My favorite childhood memory is when my mom took me to Disney on Ice...and I was chosen out of the audience to ride in the boat with Cinderella. I was the most euphoric little girl in the entire world.

Hmm, does high school count as "childhood?" I'm going to have to say my first concert with my youth orchestra. It was a huge turning point for me.

I fell in my friend's fish pond and had to be taken home dripping wet and rather smelly!
Favourite memory? Skiing at Whistler with my family every weekend...with lots of stops for hot chocolate.
My aunt and grandmother kept me, my sis, and my cousins when we were little. They were our 'after school program'! They taught us to crochet, to embroider, and to cross-stitch. I'm probably the only one of the lot who still does any of it, but we all remember it fondly!

My favourite childhood memory is camping holidays at Otautu on the Coramandel peninsula. Lovely days of beach and sea

Love the colour! My favourite childhood memory would be life at the lake. We spent most of the summer at our cabin on the lake. Swimming in the lake is still my happy place.
We used to spend weekends up in the mountains, near Payson, AZ, when I was little. It was so wonderful to get away from the city heat and ramble around with my parents and cousins, looking for arrowheads, catching trout, and listening to stories about when THEY were kids around the campfire at night.
Going to my grandma's and sewing with her scraps!
We did a family trip to Disneyland when I was 10, I really want to be able to take my kids one day too :)

One of my favorite childhood memories is hanging out with a bunch of my cousins at their pool and doing lots of silly things. Conveniently, we had a camcorder to record some of our funny exploits, so my memory is regularly jogged.
i've never seen the little apples in this color way set. i really like it!! thanks for sharing.
as for the giveaway, my favorite childhood memory is playing hide-in-seek in the sugar cane fields behind my grandparents house in the summer.
Going out for icecream with my grandpa!

What beautiful fabric! This would be perfect for making a quilt for my baby's mini crib that we'll be transitioning him into this fall!
My favorite childhood memory, I had a pretty good childhood so I have more than a few. When I was 4 my grandma made me a Snow White costume and I got to wear it to Disneyland. At that time they had a Snow White themed boat ride and because I was dressed as Snow White, I got to sit on top of the housing of the boat, which wasn't actually a seat but made me feel SUPER special. On that same trip I got separated from my parents' temporarily and I ran into Cinderella and she actually CALLED me Snow White, I was totally shocked.
I'd say playing in the sprinkler in my grandma's backyard. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I think my favorite memory is sliding down the hill behind our house on pieces of carboard with the wind sailing through my hair.

I love remembering my Dad mowing the grass with his old push mower, then raking up the cut grass into a big pile and I would run and jump into it. I didn't care that I would get sooo itchy later, and I still love the smell of fresh cut grass. :)

My favorite memory growing up was just living everyday out in the country on our ranch, spending time exploring, playing with my animals, riding my horse when ever I wanted to. It was great. I miss it very much.

There are so many!! But I guess one of my favorites is any time we visited extended family in Culiacan, Sinaloa and Tepic, Nayarit in Mexico (where my parents are from). It was especially great when we were there for Christmas! :o)

Great giveaway! I'm on your mailing list. My favourite memory is spending time with my grandpa in our garden. He passed away at 96, when I was 5 years old.
Many to chose from! One of my favorites is sitting with my grandmother at the kitchen table eating spoonfuls of jelly together!
Hmm.. i think my favorite memory was playing on the floor of my mom's sewing room. I would fall asleep and she'd continue on forever. It might have been until 9pm, but it felt like forever.
Tree climbing :) No single tree, but just the awesome fun of trying to climb every tree I could!

Camping with my family. Wonderful times.

My favorite childhood memory is riding bikes with my brother in our driveway and up and down the street. We would draw chalk "road" lines down the driveway with a turn lane out to the road and everything! When it was time to come in, of course we had to park our bikes--right in the parking lot we drew at the end of the sidewalk at the front door!
My favorite childhood memory? Waking up really early, driving 3 hours, and crabbing. We'd be in the sun for hours and catch dozens of crabs. We wore shoes, so the crabs wouldn't pinch our toes. What great memories!
My favourite childhood memories are always about summer, rather than fall (which meant school!), and mostly about travelling. My favourite travelling memory was going up to northern Manitoba with my grandparents and camping at this place with massive rocks the size of small houses that you could climb (I want to say it was Flin Flon, MB, but it's been so many years I don't know if I'm remembering right). I was a rock obsessed kid, so it was brilliant.

It's almost too long ago to remember, but probably the big holiday parties with everyone around the piano singing and having a good time.
My favorite childhood memory was going to Rockefeller Plaza in NYC during Christmas time.
My favorite childhood memories are playing out side all day and just eating stuff out of the garden and off the trees so we didn't have to go in!
My favorite childhood memory....when I was 6 years old, my dad and mom woke me and my two sisters up at 5am and without telling us where we were going, bundled us up in the car and took us to the local airport where we got to see, pat and talk to the REAL LASSIE! It was amazing and my absolutely favorite alltime childhood memory! If I win, I'll post a picture of this incredible early morning more than 40 years ago! Thanks for a chance to win!

Favorite memory? A weird one, but appropriate for a bookish girl. I remember eating a plum, reading a book, with our dachshund by my side. (I also remember being very happy that we were sitting by a fire hydrant, because I liked the shiny, rubbery feeling of its many layers of paint. Yep, weird.)
I love Aneela's designs, and am especially hoping to win this week.

My favorite childhood memory is when the cousins would go to Georgia to spend time with my grandmother at her lake cabin on the farm. We would fish for bream in the ponds and then my grandmother would fry them for our breakfast -- and make eggs, bacon, grits, and biscuits.
The aquas of little apples are gorgeous. Thanks for the chance.

Favorite childhood memory---I had a great childhood. One of my favorite summertime things was when all the neighborhood kids would gather in the evening and we would play night games; kick the can, hide and seek, red rover, or just talk and talk and talk.
Wow, lots of childhood memories, but the one that sticks out the most right now is picking purple hull peas one summer weekend with my grandma. We never knew what we would be getting in to when we went to visit and one time she had a friend who needed her peas picked. It was hot & sticky and I had one of those "handkerchief" sleeve tops on that were all the rage (dating myself here) and Grandma kept wiping her sweat on my sleeve! :)
Thanks for the memory!

A favorite childhood memory would be going to my grandparents for a week or two in the summer. I loved spending time in the country.

My favorite memory is riding in the car with my parents. I was in the back seat laying down reading a book (no seat belts then!) Listening to them talk, knowing we were going some where fun.
My favorite childhood memory is huckleberry picking at the crack of dawn when it wasn't yet too hot. We would race to see who could fill up their container first.
My favourite childhood memory is sitting in the apple tree in our backyard, legs dangling, reading books suck as Nancy Drew and Anne of Green Gables. I'm from a large(ish) family and that place was my peace and quiet, where I could just be alone to read. Something I enjoy to this day, though I don't climb apple trees any more. lol

Spending a week each summer at my grandmother's farm...without my siblings. She always spoiled me and we baked whatever I wanted. Plus there were always kittens at the farm for me to play with (or more likely irritate...those poor wild kittens).

I remember summer vacation at my dad's boss' cabin in Wisconsin. We just loved Exploring the stream in the backyard and catching crayfish!
Since it is fall, it reminds me of when my family went to the picnic area at the falls. We would spend the day and make leaf piles, run around the paths and enjoy the falls.
