My favorite childhood activity was playing outside with my best friend, Carrie Lou. We would ride bikes, ride our scooters, and sneak down to the river at the end of our street, oops, we were not suppose to do that!

Susana said...

Then as now, it was reading. And going to the library. Also, drawing, often in the books I was reading, which makes for some chuckles now when I go through them: I read much better than I drew.
But I must not have spent my entire childhood sitting down, because I remember having scabby knees all the time.

Amy said...

One of my favorite things I remember doing as a child was when my Dad would mow the lawn, he would sometimes mow mazes for us to play in. That and when it snowed, we would build forts and have snowball fights.

Kim Hopkins said...

I enjoyed going to my grandmothers & spending the day growing up... Being an only child spending time with my grandmother & watching her quilt & cook & just spending time with her was great. I also enjoyed running & playing outside & riding my bike & roller skating on great warm days.

Thanks for your generousity.

My twin sister and I had many fun things we did as little girls. Such as hop scotch, making play houses outside, playing paper dolls with beautiful dolls with long flowing elaborate dresses. ( I am dating myself with that comment). :). Would love to win ths fab giveaway!

Carrie P. said...

Great giveaway. Thanks for letting me play.
My favorite game as a child was Chutes and Ladders. I still like to play it and one day maybe I will get to play with grandchildren.

I loved Barbie dolls. We had a neighbor lady who loved to sew but had no little girls. She would make all of my Barbie clothing...I was the envy of my friends. Sure wished mom would have hung on to these for me! It is a shame but I guess at the time you don't realize the worth.
Another thing I loved to play at the school ground was Hopskotch...always using my necklace....fond memories.

Taryn said...

favorites were definitely manhunt...we played across the whole neighborhood! And "Dictionary"...a made up game, in which we flipped through the dictionary, picked a random word, and everyone wrote down their best guess at the meaning...if you got it, you won, but points were given for funniest and most creative responses, too!

esiotrot said...

Jump rope in Spring and Autumn, jacks in Winter, roller skates and bike riding any time the pavement was clear. 8-)

Little Bluebell (Adrianne) said...

I liked crafty things. I went through a serious friendship bracelet phase. Remember those?!? :)

Janet said...

Well, I know I'm dating myself when I say that "Jacks" was one of my favorites games. These cute little dollies look like they may have played Jacks too!

Ellen said...

I'll always be a child at heart - and had many favorite childhood activities. Playing with my Shirley Temple doll, playing dress up, hop scotch and jumping rope are all at the top.

I love this collection of fabrics! Would make a great quilt for a new granddaughter.

Peggy said...

My favorite game actually was paper dolls! I made furniture for them out of note book paper and construction paper. When i wasn't playing with them I played hopscotch, jacks and jump rope! Adorable fabric.

Timpi Marie said...

I liked to roller skate while listening to the radio and dress up my cat in my doll clothes!!! Thanks for the chance for your give away!

lilfish said...

Climb trees (I was a tomboy), hopscotch, and play board games with my sister. Monopoly!

Kate said...

Well - when you grow up on a farm, you have farm games - like chase the chicken, and get out a red towel and shake it in front of the bull.... yes, that last one was always fun!!!!

kimmie's quilt's said...

i would have to say my favorite childhood memories would be christmas time, and also night games during the summer, kick the can etc. thanks for the chance for some beautiful fabric.

Julzie said...

Ooh my favourite childhood activity of all time was going to my Nanny's house and rumaging through her huge button tin and sorting all the buttons according to size and colour.....I could sit there for hours doing that, and then there was the huge bag of zips to play with too......my Nanny was very thrifty and never got rid of anything without removing any zips or buttons and I played with them for hours....I still have her button tin and its very soothing to sit and run my fingers through the buttons

Wendy said...

I think I played hopscotch every day. I'm surprised my knees aren't arthritic I played so much! Jump-rope was another one. Geeze, I sure liked to jump.
Anyway, thanks for the memory triggers. Always fun and the fabric is adorable! What little girl didn't love paperdolls?

AmyRay said...

My favorite activity was reading. And, as an only child, I loved playing with my friends. They all had siblings and tons of stuff going on at their houses. Of course, they always wanted to play at my house, where there were no little brothers and sisters in the way!

Jessica said...

I loved playing outside as a little girl. Actually, I still do :)

Estela said...

My sis and I used to play store ALL the time. Out would come everything in the pantry and we took turns being the shopper and the saleswoman. It was childhood bliss...lol.

Anonymous said...

When I was a kid, I was a tomboy and thought nothing of slogging through swamps and marshes to catch frogs, toads, and dragonflies. Then, I would take these "treasures" to school and trade them to my classmates for comic books and candy.

corvo cucina said...

This fabric is adorable!

Candyland was always my favorite.

Kim and Jim said...

I loved anything to do with being outside as a kid, especially sleeping outside in a sleeping bag on the lawn, with all our kittens inside to keep me warm!

Kim from Provo, UT

Barbara said...

My favorite thing to do as a child was to play Barbies and Baby Dolls. I woudl also atempt making them clothes as well. I made my first quilt around age 9 and still love to sew.

Red Geranium Cottage said...

I'm going to say my favorite thing to play would have to be Barbies. Didn't all girls love Barbie??
thanks for the give away!! Love the new fabric.

Heather Campbell said...

Well, we used to love to play board games - I remember Operation and Mouse Trap being a couple of favourites. Thanks for the great blog!

Suzanne said...

If I was inside, I had my nose in a book; but if outside, the we were riding bikes, riding horses, or going near the river that we were supposed to stay away from!

Love the fabrics!

Kandus said...

As a little girl we spent a lot of time at my grandparents tourist resort in small town ontario. I remember at a very young age playing lots of card games and especially loved crazy 8's until I got a little older and learned to play canasta! Miss those days of happy memories!

Anonymous said...

I loved playing Barbies when I was young. I designed and sewed clothes for them by hand.

Jeannie Gan said...

My favorite childhood activity was staying over at my aunt's during school holiday...I loved the time spent with my cousins riding bike, played groom & bride, got up middle of the night to 'pick' neighbour's yummy mangoes.

Diane Quilts said...

My siblings and I played four square for hours on end in the driveway, sometimes with neighborhood kids too. Kept us entertained all through the summer and on nice weekends when school was in session. When I was younger I played with my troll dolls or Midge doll, and used to make clothes for them out of felt, or fabric, or knitting them. The good ole days.

Eddie said...

Reading would rank #1, but my second favourite activity as a child was definitely tree climbing (and I have the scars to prove it!).

Cynthia said...

I remember standing in the kitchen with my mom and talking about my Birthday Cake. Chocolate. I was 6.

I remember thinking "Wow, I can't wait until I'm 10!"

That was a long time ago....

Pam said...

I loved playing a board game called Uncle Wiggley (I think!). Card playing came in a close second.

Unknown said...

I loved paper dolls as a kid. Still do! In fact I still have many of the paper dolls I played with as a kid. Including Tricia Nixon's Wedding paper dolls. That dates me!

Ariane said...

Oh those fabrics are so cute. One of my favorite activities was doing crafts. We would spend hours doing crafts with my Mom. She came up with so many fun projects made with things found around the house. That was always my favorite time.

Julie Deuvall said...

I loved playing with my dolls!!! Bike riding was another favorite. Thanks for the chance!

Vicki @ DottyJane said...

I was the only girl in a farm family with 3 much older brothers and had to invent things to do on my own. I did a lot of reading, bike riding, crafts but I loved to play Chinese checkers. Sometimes my mom would play, but I usually played against my imaginary friend, Penelope! We did quite a bit of tree climbing, too:)

Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity.

Aimee said...

We had a neighborhood full of boys and me. We did all sorts of boy things like crawfishing in the ditches and sneaking into the local swimming hole but my very favorite was spotlight in the summers! We would stay outside until our parents forced us to come inside only because they had to get up and go to work the next day.

Cat said...

What a neat giveaway! My most favorite childhood activity was simply out exploring with my older brother. We lived in Oregon and there was A LOT to explore!
Thanks! Cat

anita said...

My favorite activities were reading, anything outside and board games. and I had generous partners in my siblings. we sure had fun!

CAlili said...

Reading. I was a major bookworm with my favorite place to go the library. I made sure to never leave the house without a book. My husband (who isn't a reader) is always patiently waiting for me in the car while I run back in and grab the book I forgot to get the first time.

Tales From My Empty Nest said...

As a child I loved all kinds of crafts. The more the better. I tried my hand at EVERYTHING!! My grandmothers taught me to sew and I also learned how to knit. I made lots of my clothes even from an early age and I feel like I have knitted most of my life. Sure, I enjoyed playing with Barbie dolls, riding my bike, playing outside, etc, but my true love was crafts and making things with my hands. Love & blessings from NC!

Nancy Page said...

As a kid I loved paper dolls. I think I liked the cutting out part and then dressing up the dolls. That was great fun for me. I am subscribed to the Fat Quarter Shop and to your blog. You have a great blog as does the Fat Quarter Shop. And, like you, I can't keep up with all the great stuff that is out there.

Have a great day.

Jenn said...

I never cared much for board games growing up but we did love to play outside. Hide and seek, tag, bike races and red rover (if we could get enough kids together). At least once a week, we would set up a demolition derby for my brother's matchbox cars in our gravel driveway. So many fond memories. Thanks for asking and thanks for the giveaway!

Brooke said...

My favorite activity was playing with the Snoopy Snow Cone Machine that my neighbor had. I always wanted one but my parents never got it for me. It was not until I was a junior in high school that I had a boyfriend track down one for me so I could have my very own Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.

Jen said...

We loved playing hopscotch and Chinese skipping!

BJ said...

Loved riding bikes, racing toy cars, go-carts etc. I was very active, but I also loved to paint with my mother's water colors and on rainy days I loved to play with paper dolls.

vivian said...

I made doll clothes out of my brother's socks and I loved to ride my bike aimlessly.

roseylittlethings said...

Gosh there were so many faves, but Barbies had to be my all time fave! Love all the clothes and shoes and fun house items!

OliveStreetStudio said...

hmmmm so many entries, but someone has to win, right?

Favorite Childhood memory has to be fishing with my grandparents on their boat...

Heather Jones said...

Those are so cute!

My favorite childhood activity was to play house, hands down. I loved playing with my babies and taking care of them, and I even loved doing dishes! To this day, my greatest love is taking care of my children, but honestly, I'm pretty over dishes. :)

Hi! I'm from Brazil. When I was seven years old, I loved to play with dollspaper, to cut her clothes and kind of hairs. It was my favorite because I had a lot of acessories and I stayed hours to playng with her. Kisses
