    My hubby and I have become spur of the moment trip planners, we saw a Tv ad for Prince Edward Island, Canada, we looked at each other and next thing I was on the computer booking hotels room, theatre tickets to see the musical “Anne of Green Gables” and day trip bus tour….. Needless to say we had a very relaxing mini vacation

  2. Carmen says

    We plan where we’re going in advance, but don’t generally plan what we’re going to do while there. We just figure it out when we get there! 🙂

  4. Laura says

    I like a mix of both. Some days all planned to the max, and some days of just figuring it or add we go along. Thanks for the chance!

  5. Jennifer Hunt says

    I am a planner, my husband is totally “go with the flow”, so we’ve both learned to adapt a little to make trips more enjoyable for the whole family. 🙂

  7. Allie and me says

    Oh wow! ❤️ This fabric looks fantastic! :0)
    I would love to win and we like to go with the flow :0)
    I wish you all the very best

    I plan for vacation, all reservations are made for our Oct, vacation to Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Thanks for the giveaway. I follow on IG (_bosissy)

  19. Melissa says

    I’d plan to an extent to have a general idea. I have a brother that’s a planner/scheduler. When he goes on a trip he know what they’ll be doing at a particular time on a particular day.

  20. Melissa says

    I follow you in instagram (missourimel). I saw these fabrics at Janie Lou. Nice small prints.

  21. Sarah J says

    We dont take many vacations right now. While I love the idea of “go with the flow”, right now we are planners because we have 2 little kiddos.

  22. Lorrie says

    I try to plan the basics, but mostly wait and see what’s happening locally, and follow my own whims! It’s a joy to travel solo (mostly!) ?

  24. Virginia in AK says

    I’m a planner. That’s half the fun for me! I’m not opposed to spur of the moment trips, though

  26. Margaret says

    Due to work commitments, we go with the flow and plan a few weekend trips along the way.

  36. Sandy Allen says

    I usually plan ahead, but this year am having a hard time figuring out what to do. It will probably be a go with the flow week!

  38. Ann T says

    I
    My vacations are carefully planned. Sometimes I wish they weren’t but I enjoy the planning.

  41. Rebecca K says

    My husband is very go with the flow and I like to plan so we usually comprise somewhere in the middle! Lately we’ve been stay-cationing which has been amazing since we’ve been taking advantage of everything our area has to offer!

  45. Melissa Q says

    Has to be planned. Life is way too chaotic already. Not every minute planned out, but at least some activities that we want to do.

  46. Machelle says

    I like to do a little of both, since I travel all over the world. I’ll have definite things I want to see, and definite times to move to the next place. I do love just to get out and ramble around to get to know the city and get into the culture! This give away is very nice, thanks to you and FA Shop!

  47. Julie Quigley says

    We like to choose a destination and then just wing it when we get there – exploring is half the fun!

  48. Julie Q says

    I just signed up for your newsletter, and I’ve been a follower on IG for a long time!

  51. Vivienne Franklin says

    If we travel around New Zealand or Australia we go with the flow, maybe just booking that first night, but travelling to the US ( only once to go to Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show) we planned very well!

  53. Christine says

    I definitely like to know where I’m going but once I’m there, I like going with the flow.

  56. Pam says

    What gorgeous fabric! I usually plan the destination for a vacation and then go with the flow once we get there. This year it will be 5 days on California coast with my husband, two daughters, and my six year old granddaughter. I can’t wait to explore tide pools with her! Thanks for this wonderful opportunity and thanks for your inspiring blog!

  61. Karen L. says

    Depends on the type of trip. I usually combine it. Have a few planned things and a few days of unplanned in case we find something along the way. No reservations, just driving and look for a hotel when its time for dinner. Found one of our favorite Hotels (Benbow Inn) that way in Northern California.

  62. Tracy H says

    We definitely are planners! It’s hard for my husband to just drive and see where and when we stop!! But there has been a couple of times recently where we did just pick up and go! It was fun!!

  64. Susansquiltstudio says

    Going with the flow and staying close to home this summer, have started planning a BIG trip for summer 2017.

  66. Laura says

    We have always been spur of the moment, go with the flow people. It has taken us on many memorable vacations.

  68. Lisa McGriff says

    I’m a planner for sure! Our vacation will be in October and we are going to Phoenix, Arizona!

  69. Carol g says

    Thanks for the giveaway! We like to plan ahead, but squeeze in a few quick trips, too!

  71. Brenda P says

    Most definitely a planner, plans are all in place to be at the AQS Quilt show in Chattanooga Tn in September so excited it will be my first show!!

  72. Betsy says

    If it’s an expensive vacation we plan and save all year long. If it’s just a local trip we just go

  75. Barbara says

    I am a subscriber to Uppercase and love the magazine. This fabric is just gorgeous.

  77. Emily says

    I’m very much a planner. I love to plan our vacations. That’s a huge part of the enjoyment for me.

  83. Kathy Jenkins says

    We often plan a destination and the first night’s accommodation then go from there. A couple of years ago we visited the USA bought a caravan (trailer) and tow car and headed west from Lansing, Michigan with only a few dates pencilled in after daughter’s graduation at MSU eg Indy 500, Pykes Peak Hill Climb, Bonneville (cancelled ?) and our flight home! Great way to visit a country. Husband went to craft breweries and I visited quilt shops and exhibitions!

  84. Barb N says

    The only thing I plan for a vacation is the time off! Then it’s Go With the Flow all the way! Gorgeous fabrics.

  86. Emilee says

    It depends on the trip! Some I plan out, (big city trips) and others I prefer to just go with the flow and have plenty of down time. (like at the beach)

  88. Terri Poinsett says

    My husbands work schedule is very unpredictable, therefore we are last minute vacation planners. Which is good because anticipation stresses me out so being spontaneous works out great for me!

  90. Vicki H says

    We like to plan where we go and maybe one or two activities and then just go with the flow.

  93. Rhona says

    We plan our vacation, but only about 3 weeks before we go away, which is usually in the winter, when we get there we then figure out our adventure, thanks for the giveaway, lovely fabric!

  98. Lori Morton says

    We pretty much have a basic plan getting to destination…then gow with the flow more…most fun experiences that way. Is just my Husband & me usually…the Kiddo’s are grown. We do plan things with his brother 7 his wife…but we 4 are so flexible about what we galvant around & do, once we are settled for the week. 🙂

  99. Lori Morton says

    Am already a Follower, thru Email, Bloglovin & Pinterest too… 🙂

    Thank you for chance to win your Give-a-way 😀

  104. Terry D says

    I plan vacations. Actually, I plan and plan and plan vacations and everything! 🙂 I love this Uppercase fabric and would love to win. Thanks for the chance!

  106. Erin Metzler says

    I definitely enjoy planning my vacations. It is good every once in awhile to have an unplanned trip.

  107. Gidget Shenefield says

    We try to plan ahead so we can fit on into everyone’s busy schedule!

  109. Celeste Delostrinos says

    A combination of planning but being flexible enough to go with the flow works best for me.

  110. De says

    It’s been so long since I’ve had a real vacation! I think I would like to plan where I’m going and go with the flow once I get there!

  115. Michelle Morrison says

    Definitely a planner, primarily because all our “vacations” are oriented around out-of-state medical care for my son, and those doctors have pesky schedules we have to work around. Okay, who am I kidding, they’re not really vacations, but it’s the closest we come! Maybe next summer… 😉

  116. Michelle Morrison says

    And I just discovered your blog via Instagram, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it, so I’m now following you on Bloglovin!

  122. Aileen says

    What a gorgeous bundle. It’s winter where I am, so I’m about to light a fire and do some hand embroidery.

  123. Judi Duncan says

    We are also a jump in the car and go kind of family….since the hubs and I are retired we can and do go on a whim!

  125. Kathy E. says

    We are planners, but as I get older, it gets harder and harder to get me to go anywhere! I am such a homebody, but once I’m out of town, I’m OK and enjoy the time away. I’d love to be more of go with the flow, but then maybe I’d never leave!

  129. Michele T says

    We plan every detail in terms of travelling days, destinations and hotel reservations, but once we are at our destination we go with the flow for activities and touring.

  130. Katy M says

    I’m definitely a go-with-the-flow-er! Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous bundle ? X

  132. Fireside Quilter says

    For the most part our holiday trip plans are planned on a day to day basis – it works for our family perfectly.

  133. Fireside Quilter says

    I am a new follower via email newsletter! Thanks for this awesome giveaway!!!

  135. Becky says

    I like to have some plans when I go on vacation, but they may not be set in stone. I guess I’m a little of both. LOL Thanks for the chance to win this awesome giveaway!

  139. Kelly Tadlock says

    We are planners, as we are both teachers and vacations come during school vacations. I follow you on Bloglovin. I would love to win this beautiful fabric!
    Thanks

  140. Naomi Gies says

    I do both at the same time – I let others people plan the vacation and then I just go! Lol. Otherwise, some vital booking or rental might be missed as I am not a good planner!

  141. lee says

    We go with the flow! Just had this week off – decided to go north in MI – and just stayed where we could – best vacation ever – very relaxing! Thanks!

  144. Sharon T says

    We plan when and where, but when we get there, we go with the flow.
    Thank you for the give away!

  146. Margaret Aikema says

    In our family we usually see what the day or week brings. I am a new follower 🙂

  148. Ann says

    I’m disabled now so can’t afford to take any holidays. But back when I was healthy I used to love planning my vacations right down to the meals!

  157. Carolyn says

    Unfortunately we have to plan ahead as my husband is in business and can’t just up and go. Thanks for your lovely giveaway.

  159. Peggy Gibbs says

    I’m a planner so I plan our vacations (and lots of other things too)
    Thanks!

  161. Chris says

    We have 3 dogs and a cat so it has to be planned. These days we stay close to home but our Grandchildren come see us.

  162. Hayley says

    We’re planners. With kids and Australia being so far away from everywhere you kind of have to be if you don’t want to pay a fortune.

  164. Sandy N says

    We are not planners at all. We pretty much do everything completely last minute. Thanks for the opportunity to win that beautiful bundle!

  166. Sarah says

    Great giveaway- thanks for the chance! As for vacations…I’m a big planner and he’s not, so we compromise. I plan the big trip we usually take early in the summer. Later, we usually take one or two shorter trips, which we don’t plan until a few days before we leave and then only for hotel reservations and air fare, if we’re flying. It works well for us.

  168. Diane says

    I like to plan which beach I’m going to visit and then i plan to sit on the beach with a book and a cold drink all day every day that I’m there! I go with the flow and find good local restaurants for some good seafood.

  176. Emily C says

    We don’t really have the budget for planned vacations. We go on spur of the moment day trips. Usually if we hear of something fun going on.

  177. Lindsay R says

    It depends on the vacation, we recently went to Disneyland, so that had to be planned out well in advance, but for other beauty vacations, go with the flow!

  178. Diane B says

    Go with the flow. go wherever, whenever. If guests are in/out visiting and you get to know your own city that way!

  179. Diane Beavers says

    Rebecca, I’m already a Bryan House Quilts newsletter/email subscriber.
    Thank you.

  183. Gina S. says

    We’re a planning kind of family, but are sure to leave time for spontaneity while on vacation, too.

  185. Patty Flynn says

    We plan the bigger things–it takes a LOT of planning to get a group of adults together for a week or weekend. But it’s good to leave enough free time to do spur of the moment adventures

  187. Jayne says

    We never go on vacation! But when we do, every single detail is planned out. It actually drives me crazy, but my husband has to cover every base imaginable!

  189. Delaine says

    What a beautiful bundle of fabric! We just go with the flow-we do whatever strikes us as fun at the moment. Thanks!

  191. Kathie L says

    This summer it’s go with the flow. I have a grandson due to be born in the next few days, so we’ll have to work around his arrival. Usually I’m a planner.

  193. carolyn montgomery says

    since we retired, we just go with the flow because we can; we don’t have to work around anyone’s schedule. thanks for the giveaway.

  195. Mary D says

    I both plan and do spur of the moment trips. Last year some friends and I planned a cruise and paid for it over some months. This is the first time I have done this. I usually just decide to cruise, call my agent and book the cruise. My motto most often is have a plane ticket, do travel. But there have been some destination vacations I am interested in taking and that will involve some planning.

  197. Hannah says

    I’m a go with the flow lperson, even in the midst of a well-planned vacation. Without lots of room for spontenaiety, I’d go nuts!

  200. Sarah C says

    I have to say I’m a planner and hubby is fly by the seat of his pants we make it work and meet in the middle somehow and pull it off (thanks to my behind the scenes planning) he he

  201. Teresa Stanulis says

    We always plan, but when we are retired, my husband and I would love to just get in the car and head toward a destination and stop whenever and wherever we want along the way!

  202. Mary Emmens says

    With 3 children there has to be an element of planning but we always have to be ready to change plans with the weather in this country! Thanks for a great giveaway

  203. Kelly Williams says

    A little bit of both. We have to have some planning, but once we get started we just go with the flow!! Thanks for the opportunity.

  205. Lesley Gilbert says

    I don’t have holidays any more; just odd days out when I feel like it, which also depends on the weather 🙂

  206. Lesley Gilbert says

    I follow you on Bloglovin – thanks for the chance to win some beautiful fabric 🙂

  207. Pattie C says

    Haven’t had a real planned vacation in 15 years. I’m not a good traveler. I’d rather be at home quilting.

  208. Amy in UK says

    Depends on what sort of holiday it is. I am happy to go with the flow. For example – a cruise is ‘planned’ but I am happy to go with the flow once I am on board!!!

  214. Cathy Cavagnaro says

    Our main summer vacation involves extended family so it has to be planned. But we also do smaller unplanned getaways for just the two of us. They are both wonderful.

  215. Cathy Cavagnaro says

    I follow you on bloglovin. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity. That fabric is scrumptious.

  216. Barbara Showell says

    I loosely plan. I find out what’s there that I might want to do, about transportation, other people’s experiences and get an idea of how and what I want to do. A nap or good deal or anything can change what was on the agenda.

  220. Beth says

    We are going on our nearly first ever vacation that does not involve family or work. I am very excited!

  222. Rose Santuci-Sofranko says

    Me and my hubby usually take kind of ‘spur of the moment’ “Day Trips” instead of long planned, far away vacations. We just went to both Canandaigua Lake and also Chautauqua Lake (both in NYS) this past week. Thanks and God bless! ILuvTheEucharist (at) aol.com

  226. Rebecca says

    We enjoy planning our vacations even though they are far and in between.
    What a great looking bundle of fabric. I would feel like I was on vacation just winning that! thanks for the chance

  227. Claudia says

    Depends on whose going whether there is much planning and location. A trip to NYC is a little of both, especially when looking for show tickets. Just got back from a 5 day trip to the Oregon coast. Felt the need to spend some time with nature. Booked one nights hotel in advance and then each morning figured out where I would spend the night and booked then.

  229. Allison says

    I am a go with the flow vacation person! Actually writing this in a hotel with terrible internet on our way to Canada!!!

  230. Katy S says

    We do both! Planning trips that require air travel, but also taking little spontaneous weekend jaunts with no particular destination in mind. Those are often the best.

  233. Debby says

    I have only ever been on one vacation, when I was pregnant with my first child. The hubby came home and said we should go somewhere. The next day we drove to Maine and spent a few days in Bar Harbor. It was fantastic. Now that I have three little ones, if we ever do go on vacation, it will probably need to be planned because of kids and dog.

  234. Diane Ounre says

    We plan the trips to where we are going but we don’t schedule our time while there. Our vacations are usually to see family so we go with the flow of what they are doing

  237. Andi says

    We plan a bit but are open to spontaneous detours! I like to research ahead if we vacation in a new spot. Thanks for the giveaway!

  239. Rachel says

    Between being a visitor and a visitee, our summer usually ends up pretty well reserved. There are very few unplanned weekends between now and the end of summer!

  240. Trisch S says

    Most of our trips are planned around visiting kids/grandkids. Once we are there, it is go with the flow.

  242. L says

    I’m a major planner! Since marrying a go-with-the-flow guy and now having a toddler, I’m trying to ease up a bit. My current approach (which I love) is to do a lot of research ahead of time, so that I have a menu of options going into the trip. Then we can select an activity for the day based on weather, moods, etc. I hate wasting time on vacation to the “what do you want to do?” “I don’t know, what do you want to do?” “I don’t know, is there any place to go hiking?” discussions.

  243. Rebmara says

    We plan when and where we go, but during our stay we go with the flow, depending on our energy level, the weather, how the boys behave (or not).

  246. Jessica says

    We like to plan generally (like where we will sleep0 but leave the specifics to the whims of the day.

  247. Alison says

    It depends on the vacation — if we are going somewhere and want to do a lot of things (events, museums, etc.) then I tend to plan things out but if we are going somewhere to relax I don’t really plan anything!

  249. Paula says

    We don’t have any more vacation days this year, but usually we’re somewhere in between – we have a list of things we want to see or do, and then we plan our days based on the weather or what we feel like when we get up in the morning.

    I love this fabric line! Thank you for for the giveaway!

  250. Debbie Lorenz says

    We like to plan our vacations. This year is probably our last big family vacation (my two eldest are in university) so we’re going to Costa Rica. That’s not a last minute kind of vacation (for this have to get hiking boots/shots/take Dukoral kinda traveller).

    I follow you on IG and just bought your glorious Modern Rainbow book. This would be a great FQ to play with! 🙂

  251. Anita says

    Planner! Just arrived home minutes ago from a family vacation to Tulum. With 15 people in the fam, it doesn’t lend itself to spur of the moment.

  255. Cindy says

    Just signed up for your newsletter. Just found you today through “what’s next ma” blog.
