I love January for my Birthday and December for Celebrating the Savior's Birth. Each month has a reason to be a favorite, How can I choose just one? Thanks for the Giveaway. 2016 will be here before I' ready.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite month is November, because it is deep into fall and is the month of my fave holiday-- Thanksgiving! :)
ReplyDeleteI have never really thought about which month is my favorite. There are several good months, all for different reasons. August is great because it is my daughter's birthday, as well as mine. December is great because of the holidays. April is great because the weather is becoming warm and spring is in the air. May is great because berries start coming to the farmers market, and June's tomato season brings boxes of canning tomatoes. October is good because we finally leave the heat of summer behind for good, and have beautiful fall days that are easy to appreciate because the cold nights remind us that winter is just around the corner.

I love September when there's a crispness in the air and we settle back into a comfortable routine after summer craziness.
ReplyDeleteI love October as the leaves turn and the temps are cooler. What a beautiful calendar. maguappone@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI've never really thought of a favorite month... I'ld have to say July since that is my anniversary month. We just celebrated 14 years on the 14th.
ReplyDeleteI like July since it my birthday month and the month I spend time at Lake Erie. I just bought your book and have my first project planned!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is August. Then it's summer, I usually have time for vacation and it's my birthday.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Rike
April is my favorite month. Flowers are beginning to bloom, Easter is often celebrated and it's my birthday month! Thanks for the "sneak peek" of the calendar. Love the very modern version of March's Irish chain. Thanks for a chance in the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love may as we start and finish that month with a birthday. And it usually is the first month with lovely weather.
ReplyDeleteMay, Mother's Day, My Birthday, Memorial Day!
ReplyDeleteFebruary is my favorite, my mom and I share our birthday and then there's Valentine's Day (great excuse for my hubby to buy chocolate) and usually we have some snow!

I guess my favorite month would have to be December. I love, love, love Christmas and sitting in my living room with all the decorations shimmering and anticipation for the holiday building is just so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI really like September, when all things Autumn come into focus. September - December is my favorite time of year.
ReplyDeleteI like July because it's my birthday month - but I have to say my favorite is December for Christmas
ReplyDeleteMy favorite month is November its my anniversary month, it kicks off the holiday season and Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday to spend with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI love December because all the stores and homes are decorated for Christmas. I think the lights on the outside of homes makes everything seem more peaceful and friendly.
ReplyDeletelin.web.28 at gmail dot com
Every month has a reason to be special in my large extended family with holidays, birthdays and anniversaries. I guess February might be my favorite because it represents the month of love to me! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOctober-the Fall leaves & the crisp, cool weather & Halloween!
ReplyDeleteFavorite month? I love them all for different reasons. If I have to choose one, perhaps September with it's cooler nights.
ReplyDeleteI love June...everything is green and in bloom and it isnt hot enough yet to drive us into the airconditioned house. June is sun dresses and browsing the garden. :) (usually)
ReplyDeleteI love July, it works because my birthday is on the 4th! I love the quilt calendars. Congratulations on being Miss March. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love November! With the cooler weather, amazing colors and approaching holidays, I can't think of a better month!
ReplyDeleteI love September. The weather is starting to shift and it's my birthday month!
ReplyDeleteI like June because school is out and there is more free time.
ReplyDeleteEven though it is short, I love February because things are warming up and colors begin to peep, crocus and other bulbs. March is lovely here as well!
ReplyDeleteJuly - it is the month that my three grandchildren (triplets) were born and gave me new life
ReplyDeleteHI, love the month of December, as it is the Birthday of Our Saviour!

ReplyDeleteSusie
I love September! The crispness in the air, colors are starting to turn and we all slow down a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI love October, because it usually signals a break from the long, long summer we have here on the Gulf Coast! A welcome relief from heat and humidity!!!
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be October since the weather is getting cooler and the fall foliage is gorgeous! chocolatewiskers@aol.com
ReplyDeleteJuly is my favorite because it's finally fully summer.
ReplyDeleteMay is my favorite month, because the weather is nice, AND I celebrate my birthday, anniversary, and Mother's Day! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite month is May. The days are longer, it's getting warmer, summer is coming, but it's not too hot yet. Just perfect.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite month is March. This is the month that my only daughter was born on, plus here in Southern Oregon many spring flowers begin to make their appearances, things always seem to look brighter and more cheerful in this month also. Could also due to the fact that I do have Irish blood LOL. Congrats on having your quilt chosen to be in the calendar and thank you for the opportunity to win this fabulous prize! Have a wonderful creative day! my email brend_ack@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteJune - family birthdays and Mother's Day! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite month is February because there's my birthday and it's such a short month. And it's the only month which is a day longer every four years ... pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteOctober - I just love fall, fall colors, and cooler weather. Also it is when I go on my annual Quilt retreat!
ReplyDeleteI have great dates all through the year...but, I would say in this life as a gramma, whichever month the next grandbaby is due. This year it's December!
ReplyDeletethanks
congrats on being Miss March!!
I don't think I really have a favorite month, although November is great - my granddaughter's birthday and Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday!
ReplyDeleteJune. It is my birthday month!!
ReplyDeleteOctober. The month our son was born. And since we only have one child his birthday month can be a favorite without hurting anyone's feelings!
ReplyDeleteOctober. Not too hot and not too cold and such beautiful colors!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being Miss March!!
Definitely December. Its my brothers birthday, my birthday, Christmas, get to-gethers with family and friends (lots of it), lots of fun times. Not too crazy about the weather here in Illinois in December, but all the warmth from family and friends really makes up for the cold.

I like september because it has good weather and the rush of family birthdays dies down.
ReplyDeletejen dot barnard at btinternet dot com
I don't know. Each month brings different favorite events or holidays, celebrations or relaxing. So each if them!
ReplyDeleteOctober, as the weather turns to crisp cool mornings and sunny nice days, piles of leaves that crackle as I walk through them, and a wonderful, like-no-other-month, smell in the air.
ReplyDeleteI think May. Summers coming, flowers and grass, and longer days.
ReplyDeleteNovember. It's my birthday, and I love Fall.
ReplyDeleteI love the fall - weather, colors, smells, food - so October when all the fall festivals are going on.
ReplyDeleteI like the month of June. It isn't to hot yet and the flowers in my yard look the best.
ReplyDeleteI love October. It is absolutely beautiful in the Catskill Mountains of New York where I live. It's also not too hot and usually no snow just yet! It even smells good!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite month is May. I met my hubby in May, it's my birthday month, and the weather is nice.
ReplyDeleteI like the month of October with falling leaves, log fires and long walks!

ReplyDeleteOctober - I love Fall!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a cold climate. So, when tulips & daffodils start breaking through the ground announcing the end of winter, it's special to me! March is a good month for me - as well as having my birthday land next to St Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteI love May.....summer is just around the corner.

ReplyDeleteJanuary. The craziness of the Holidays is over and we're still cozy with wood fires in the house.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite month is April because the trees finaly get their leaves after the winter and in April they are such a beautiful light fresh green - a hopeful sign.
ReplyDeleteSeptember. Winter is over, the weather is warming up. Summer holidays are not too far away.
ReplyDeleteThat is hard. April is my husband's birth month, May is mine, October is our Anniversary. Now the interesting part is we were both born of the 13th, and we married on Friday the 13th! But if I have to pick a month it would be December!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say December but I really love every month! Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteDecember is my favorite month for a few reasons. 1) It's my birthday month 2) It's Christmas 3) I get to see family I don't get to see enough. 4) They cook better than I do :)

ReplyDeleteSeptember. My birthday is that month, summer is FINALLY over, new school year (and I homeschool, so it's not just that the kids are gone all day because they're not)... I really think the new year should start in September instead of after the holiday hangover from December.
ReplyDeleteMelissa,
ReplyDeleteI like October. It is the start of fall. The beautiful colors and the cool, fresh air. There is nothing better.
