Does anyone remember Bruce Springsteen's song "My Hometown"? Well, Fat Quarter Shop sent me this awesome kit several weeks ago, and I've been stitching away on it. With every stitch, that song has come into my mind. I always loved it anyway! The name of the fabric is "Hometown" and it's by Sweetwater by Moda.
Okay, enough of that. They are also going to give another one away. I mean, we are talking full kit AND the backing. Every single thing you need to make this kit except your thread and your sewing machine. Are you interested? Wanna see what I'm talking about? I just love this pattern!
Fat Quarter Shop was more than generous on this giveaway. This is well over $100.00 worth of merchandise.
If you would like to win this, the first thing you need to do is sing to me...."My Hometown". Sing loud. Really loud. Of course I won't hear you, but hey, I can pretend. LOL (and I WILL be listening, so don't try to cheat! LOL)
Seriously, I do think this should be for followers, so you need to be a follower of my blog to enter this one. Please let me know you are.
For another entry, tell me what hometown means to you. Is it where you were born, or where you live now? Please tell me on another post.
If you would like another entry, go over to Fat Quarter Shop and pick out your most favorite kit and come back and tell me what it is.
And if you would like once last entry, blog, tweet or facebook about it (counts as only one).
Please make each of these a separate entry, so Mr. Random Generator will count them all. That is four chances to win. PLEASE, PLEASE let me know how to get in touch with you. There are still so many "no reply bloggers" out there, and it's so frustrating not being able to let you know you won.
This giveaway will go until midnight CT on October 1 and will be announced here on October 2nd. Good luck to everyone!
Have a great week full of stitching and sewing and whatever else you love!

I think hometown means where you have the best/most memories - that's how it is for me. I'm from Phillipsburg NJ, where I've lived since I was nine.
My favorite quilt kit from the FQ Shop is the Apple Dumpling kit.
The first random numbers hardly ever win, but I guess someone had to be first, right? :) Oh well, we'll see!
I am a follower! Thanks for the giveaway!
My hometown in Orange,Tx. My favorite thing about it is the Lion's Club Carnival that happens in the fall. It's a local charity carnival. It's a (relatively)cheap night out that helps other in the community. And it's old home week because you see everyone you know. It's good to take my daughter to, and she's a really good rider @ 5!
I am a follower! Love the quilt pattern and fabric!

Okay, I looked up the words to Bruce Springsteen's song "My Hometown" and I sang it to you at the top of my lungs. Granted, it was sung off-key because I can't carry a tune in a bucket. But I sang it for you. I know you're thankful you didn't have to hear it. So - that's my comment. And my next comment is - I'm a follower.
Even though I live in a different town across the state now, I still love to visit the places I loved while growing up in my hometown. Lots of great memories to look back on.
My blogger name may be "Deborah in Atlanta", but I'm originally from Augusta, GA, and that's what I call my "hometown". I lived in Augusta from the time I was born until I was 47 years old. But I think "hometown" can mean something different to different people. I imagine it's the location where you have the fondest memories.

The place I grew up is so much busier than what it used to be, doesn't seem like home to me anymore.

My favorite quilt kit over at the Fat Quarter Shop is Apple Dumpling Quilt Kit Featuring Little Apples by Aneela Hoey.
I really tried singing "My Hometown", but I can't carry a tune...hope I didn't break any windows! :)
My favorite quilt kit at the Fat Quarter Shop is Summer Lovin' Quilt Kit Featuring Terrain by Kate Spain
I love the Seville quilt kit too!

My hometown is back in Canada. I was born there and my parents live there. That's what makes it my hometown- the family and roots
I've been following and enjoying your blog for a while.
I like both the Apple Dumpling and the Big Brother kits :)
I follow.
For me Hometown is the island I grew up on. I mentally relax just driving over the bridge to get on to it. It doesn't hurt that my parents and some of my closest friends still live there. :D
I was raised from birth to 18 in the same home then I went away to college, married, moved some and have lived 34 years in my present home. I still get nostalgic about my birthplace. The old home, no longer in the family, is still there and the neighborhood hasn't changed all that much. But I've raised all my children here and they are finally starting to come back. There are great memories, funny stories and great friends.I may not go back as far as my husband but 34 years is quite a long time.
I don't know how to answer that because I've never left my hometown. I guess it means don't mess with a good thing in my case:)
After perusing Fat Quarter Shop's site, my favorite kits are twofold: the Apple Dumpling and the Kona Castle kits.
For me, hometown is definitely the place where I grew up. Youngstown, Ohio. It was a thriving steele town once upon a town, but now a very depressed area. But still home, and I get back whenever I can.
I really like the American Charm quit kit by Minich & Simpson. I love Miss Rosie's patterns.
Love Merry Gristmas flannel kit.

My home town isn't where I live now, or where I was born. It's where I grew up...where all my childhood memories lie.
I'm a follower. Thanks for the giveaway.
I like the Love Links quilt kit but I could also love the Swoon and the Pam Kitty Pinwheels. Thanks for the giveaway.
I think Hometown means where you consider home... could be where you were born or where you have lived or where you live.
Ooo..The summer lovin kit in Terrain is my new favorite!
Ok then now that you no longer have eardrums due to my singing I guess I should tell you that I am a follower.
My favorite kit is Peyton at Play Quilt Kit Featuring Urban Zoologie by Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman Fabrics. I love those fabrics!
To me hometown is where I grew up. I get warm fuzzy's everytime I go home for a visit. I always wish I could stay longer. My strongest friendships are still in that town.No matter how they change the roads in the town I never get lost. I seem to be lost all the time where I live now.
Singing from the top of the hill here at my house in Missouri, good and loud just for you to hear
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
Id sit on his lap in that big old buick and steer as we drove through town
Hed tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown, this is your hometown
This is your hometown, this is your hometown
In `65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come to my hometown
My hometown, my hometown, my hometown
Now main streets whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there aint nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they aint coming back to
Your hometown, your hometown, your hometown, your hometown
Last night me and kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
Im thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good
Look around
This is your hometown
You and Me Always is my fav FQ Shop kit right now. I am saving my pennies and some day it will be mine!
I follow your blog and enjoy it so much.
My thoughts on what "hometown" means to many people is where they were raised up at. Another train of thought might be where they lived the longest period of time as an adult. My thought is that you can live anywhere but the place you have lived and loved the most is really "My Hometown" and for me that is Yoder, Wyoming. 29 years ago, deeply in love with my new husband, poor as church mice and we didn't care, we were so happy there. That is "HOME" to me
My favorite quilt kit over at the Fat Quarter Shop is "Pieces In Time"
I blogged about your giveaway!
I tweeted your sweet giveaway. I so love Hometown fabric, I have asked for one yard of each design and colorway for my birthday.
Carolyn I have to confess I didn't sing. I can't remember the words! That seems to be happening to me a lot lately...could have something to do with an upcoming birthday. :( But I did hum a happy tune - will that count? And I'm a follower too so I know that will count! blessings, marlene
My husband and I moved quite a bit in our 47 years of marriage...oh my that's a long time! My oldest daughter was once asked why she said she was going "home" for the weekend when it was to a house she had never lived in (we moved there after she married). Her reply fits the definition of home perfectly: home is where my Mama is and where her stuff is. Don't you love that? blessings, marlene
I've just subscribed to you blog! This would be an awesome win!
I am a follower and am singing to you! Can you hear me? I don't know that song, but I am making it up as I go. I am good like that! :) (I might be a 'little' pitch-y)
I'm a follower but not a singer. Hubs is sitting here and thinks I'm crazy ebough!
My hometown is Tyrone, Pa and it means comfort and security to me because my mother still lives there!
I just love the You and Me Always Quilt Kit at the FQS. The name and the fabric!
I tweeted the giveaway at Lealee33
To me, "hometown" is like the saying, "home is where the heart is". My heart and home is now in southern CA with my hubby of 42 years. But we have lived in several towns over the years and wherever we are, that is my hometown!
I've been followin' :)!
I love the quilt kit, "you and me always!" I had just been looking at that pattern over at Cluck, Cluck, Sew and LOVE it! Thanks for the giveaway~
Ok, I am in a stalemate- gotta two way tie-- Summer Loving and Boemian Caravan! Love both :) Thanks!
Peyton at Play is a dang cute kit. They have too many to choose from there!
Of COURSE I'm a follower! Silly lady!
My hometown is Salt Lake City. Home of beautiful mountains and wonderful memories!
"take a good look around this is your hometown" bruce said it right. I've lived in this town for 39 years but whenever I go back I tell every one I'm going home (to the town I was born in & lived in for 24 years)Great question!
I am a follower of your blog. Thanks for the chance to win a great giveaway! Thanks to FQS too.

I like the Dr. Seuss Bump Thump quilt kit.

Home is where the Army sends us. I have no ties to the place I was born, or the area where I grew up, so for me home is where ever we are.
The kit at FQS that interests me the most, besides this fabulous Hometown kit, is Debonaire. It won't be available until January. Thanks for hosting the giveaway and thanks to Kimberly and FQS for such a great prize! Someone will be dancing in the street happy!

My hometown is the town where I am living at the moment. Since our marriage 25 years ago we moved nearly every two years. Here in Basel it is the first time to stay and already 10 years have passed. So I really call this place my hometown and I love it. Basel is a city but still small and special. Love the Rhein passing through!
Thanks so much for the lovely give away!

My hometown is where I was born. I still refer to it as Home even though I left when I was twelve and never really moved home again (I went to boarding school).
Where I live now is home but not HOME.
BTW: HOME is Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia, Australia.
I love the Peyton at Play Quilt Kit for my little boy. I have a little girl too but she will have to wait. This is now on my wish list - WHY did you make me go to that site???? :)
I follow your blog. One of my bloggy friends made and posted a pic of that same quilt and I LOVE it! Sign me up to win.
I consider my hometown where I am right now with my husband and son. This is where I plan to spend the rest of my life -- East Canton, Ohio, USA!

I like the Love Links quilt kit at the Fat Quarter Shop... but I think it is in a tie with Pinwheels for Pops. I can't decide...
I have more than one hometown. The first is the town (Hannover in Germany) where I currently live. The second one is Zürich, Switzerland, where I spent a lot of time as a child (my father moved there when I was pretty young) and still visit every year!
My favourite quilt kit from FQS is the Apple Dumpling kit. Aneela´s fabric is just too cute!

I don't particularly like the town I was born in but I do get "home sick" for the people who live there. I love going back to the UK to see all my family and Friends. My home town now is Rochechouart which is a pretty little town in the Limousin in France. Linda
Ok you asked for it, cough cough, deep breath. ;-)

Yes, I am your follower.
I do love the Home Sweet Home kit, but my absolute favorite (this week) is Seville!
I grew up in a tiny town, Milford, NJ. I always longed to move somewhere else, more exciting, more interesting, and I've never regretted moving away after college. My "new" hometown, Snohomish WA, isn't all that exciting, but it is still 5x larger than Milford!

I feel that your hometown is where you grew up. For me it is half way across the country from where I live now. However, home is where my kids are.
My favorite quilt kits right now are Home Sweet Home and Summer Lovin.
Sent over by The Learning Curve and now following you! :)
My hometown is where I was born but home can be anywhere in the world where I'm amongst friends and/or family and feeling at ease and happy - or home. ;)
The Kona Castle quilt kit is pretty. Love the colours. :)

I think that your hometown is any place that you can make your home.. join the community, feel involved, have great memories... I generally consider the "city" where I live my hometown, but the suburb that I live in is a community in itself and definitely fits the definition. I love where I live, I have a great group of (crafty!) friends, I'm involved in my local community.. <3
I am a follower :) - with google reader. Love your blog :)
Hometown - love the fabric - all of Sweetwater's fabric just speaks to me.
I've lived in one town my whole life, it is my hometown, and will always be my hometown, my whole family is here!
Hammonton, NJ is my hometown.
I love FQS, they are the best - and my favorite quilt kit is Love Links :) Thanks for the chance.
And I know it's a bit daggy, but my favourite kit on the FQS site is the Spot's Favourite Colours Quilt Kit.. I just love Spot!
I am a faithful follower.
hometown for me changes based on where my family is. I don't have ties to one city or another unless I have peeps there. :-)
I follow your blog! Thanks for the fantastic giveaway.
I consider my hometown to be where I grew up which is Pittsburgh. I've actually spend more years living in Kentucky in my husband's hometown.
I've never used a quilt kit but there sure are some cute ones at FQS. I like Jewels of My Garden, Merry Grinchmas and the Hometown kit in your giveaway.
I am a new follower! Thanks for sharing.
For me Hometown in the where I currently live. It isn't where I grew up but it is where we would visit when I was a child and I knew I would end up here some day. It is Mayberry-like and the epitome of hometown in my eyes.
My favorite quilt kit they are currently carrying is the Summer Lovin' one. I love the colors.

Hometown means where I grewup.

My fav kit at FQ Shop has been the Home Sweet Home kit for quite awhile.
Thx
To me, a hometown means where you experienced all of your "firsts"...first friends, first kiss, etc. It's a place you can return to and get that warm, fuzzy feeling you had as a kid.
My favorite FQS kit is Swoon, even though it's not available yet.
I follow you already!
Hometown for me is where my heart is. At this precise moment it is where I live right now with my husband and my children. When I go to visit my parents, it's the town where they live, where I grew up because my heart is with them. Just a little ole' town in Georgia.
I like the simplicity of the Cobblestone Cottage quilt.
I'm a follower. (:>)
My hometown is where I grew up, met my DH while we were in high school, where I got married and raised my children. It's where no matter where I go I will always meet someone I know.

Hometown is where my family is from, my mom still lives and where I love to visit. Hometown to me is where I "grew-up".
No need to put my name in the drawing for this one. I have tons of fabric I still need to use. But Moda is definitely the Best!
Favorite kit is a tie between Easy as Ten and Seville.

My hometown is where I live now - we moved all the time when I was growing up and it was hard for us to make friends when we knew we would be leaving soon. I've lived in Pensacola, FL for many years now and I consider it my hometown, even though I wasn't born here.
Thanks,

Hmmm...I think hometown is defined by friends and family and...a feeling. My friends and family are here, so this is my hometown, I guess. I recently returned to a village where I lived as a child. It had changed so much, there was no "home" feeling left there.
I sang really, really loudly, but you may not have heard me as I live in the UK? Actually, if you didn't hear me, be glad cos I have a drreadful singing voice!
I am now a follower.
Hometown, to me is a small country town where we lived for about 25 years and brought up our children. We now live about 200 miles from their.
I love the Hometown quilt kit that you are making, and also the Floating Pumpkins table runner kit.
I am a follower, I sang real loud.. did your screen crack?? Sorry I am so bad!
I count my hometown as where I grew up cuz my momma and daddy are still there as well as my brother and sister (one of each out of 7 kids). It is so far away, but I just went back and visited. Love that hometown feel.
My favorite kit is the My Sweet Tablerunner Kit. It is a Double Wedding Ring kit in a table runner, and that is one pattern I have always wanted to brave, but it is in a size I might be able to master. I will have to think about it.

I love Smitten quilt kit by Rachel Griffiths, and her new one not released yer Debonairre- they are both great! :)
