I like Moda Bakeshop
There are SO many inspiring sites and blogs, but three pop into my mind right away:
Kameleon Quilts http://kameleonquilt.wordpress.com/
Eldrid Røyset Førde has an eye for color, some really unique patterns, and shares her travels into Russia and other places.
Exuberant Color http://exuberantcolor.blogspot.com/
If you love color, and are drawn to the textures of Kaffe Faccett and all, Wanda Hanson has a lot to share.
Postcards from Cairo http://jennybowker.blogspot.com/
Jenny Bowker is an amazing quilter, and travels in North Africa, sharing their textile traditions with us.
Thanks for the chance to win!

I think for quilts I'm most inspired by Red Pepper Quilts & Oh Fransson
There are too many cool blogs to pick a favorite - -I think the fabric itself inspires me to make it into something new and fantastic.....This batch has be convinced I'm having a girl (due in 10 days)!
There are so many! A couple of my favorites are SouleMama, ModabakeShop and Jayird Quilts.
So many inspire me! I love reading U create, Creative Kismet and Sew mama sew - just to name a few.
Great giveaway! Thank you.
While Elsie Marley started me off with great inspiration, Made by Rae has some great tutorials. I also like The Sewing Dork. There are many others as well, of course.
Thank you for this lovely giveaway. This week the site I'm using as a jumping off point for inspiration is: http://www.quiltmaker.com/blogs/quiltypleasures/2010/11/08/100-blocks-blog-tour-day-1-2
Wonderful new quilt blocks are shown on each designers web site.

I spend so much time on Etsy, I had no clue what I was missing. All the sites listed above will keep occupied for weeks. What a great site you have here by the way, I love it.
I follow 58 bogs daily (I just counted) & about 10 other websites. I can't pick a favorite! But I do love The Missouri Star Quilt Shops tutorials - Jenny is the best! I also love all the free patterns at Moda - I love bright colors & they feature a big variety of designers. I love the colors in the giveaway fabrics - just yesterday I told a friend that I needed to make a pink & green quilt!
sewmamasew has had so many great tutorials! i usually check there first.
i love checking to see what V is making at bumblebeans.blogspot too. http://bumblebeansinc.blogspot.com
and i am love seeing Sarah Fielkes blog http://thelastpiece.typepad.com. thanks for a chance. love these fabrics.
I follow 58 blogs (I just counted!) daily & often get sidetracked to more. Love them all. Moda is probably the most inspirational as I heart bright fabrics & fairly simple patterns - precuts are GREAT. been loving Moose on the Porch Quilts for the quilt-a-longs with pre-cuts & a wonderful variety of designers. Thanks for the gievaway.
follow way too many blogs to all name them.... all about inspiration in a different way. I find Alisa Burke at the moment the best. (found yours via Bloesem)

Have you already visited vermiljoen in Belgium. mjammie. And I find a lot of eye candy and inspiration at made (http://www.dana-made-it.com/) and luvinthemommyhood (http://www.luvinthemommyhood.com/) to stay in english blogs. Furthermore you should learn dutch, because Belgian blogwriters and their creations: whauw.
love, from belgium.
I like Sew Liberated.
There are a lot of lovely inspirational blogs out their. I love clearly illustrated tutorials found in Sew Mama Sew, Oh Fransson etc.
One of my favs not mentioned here is The Purl Bee. I like a range of needlecrafts and they have tutorials for a number of different skills. Thanks so much for an awesome blog - have already learned something I didn't know and I've ben here five minutes. Found you through Irene's blog, as well!
Hi, I'm also from Belgium so I read a lot of dutch blogs to get inspired (Eloleo, Very Vixi, Mme Zsazsa,...). In English I love 'Sew mama sew', 'Oh Fransson' and 'Noodlehead'.
Hi, I'm just a beginner sewer, so I don't know much websites about that. But I do have a lot of favorite inspiration sites, mostly bloggers who write about the process of creating like AnnaDenise, Ninainvorm and Gennine.
