    Man, this mini is so cute! If I were going on a road trip with a crush I’d definitely start my mix tape with “Get out the Map” by the Indigo Girls. Love and road tripping all in one song!

  2. Ohhh I just can’t wait to make this! Although I can ensure it won’t turn out as awesome as yours but I will do my best :) Thanks Lisa!

  3. Oh my goodness! What a totally rad giveaway!!! And I love the Poison cassette in your picture. :) I would have to say the first song on my playlist would be “True” by Spandau Ballet. Thanks for the awesome giveaway and you definitely have a new follower!

  4. I have those same little ice cream cups! My grandparents passed them down to me. I LOVE them, they are the perfect size! And I love this pattern!

    Anyway, on to my entry response: Crazy Love by Van Morrison. But maybe I have a soft spot for that song because it was me and my husband’s first dance at our wedding!

  5. Ummmm I LOVE this! My song would be Jim Croce . . . I have to say I love you in a song. Original, I know. But I really do love Jim Croce.

  6. Hmmmmmm that’s a tough one. Maybe an old Celine song, I’m your Lady, and You are my Man! lol

  7. I love your giveaway questions!!! AND you pattern ~ I would love to have the pattern!! I’m thinking maybe Uptown Funk. It always makes we get funky! So, I’m not real romantic…its more about fun!!

    yikes – I reckon ‘I wanna hold your hand’ the Beatles? or perhaps ‘Buddy Holly’ by Weezer?

    For my song I would probably pick Iron and wines version of “Such Great Heights”. Love that sound! And I love this pattern! Great give away!

    What about “Summer of 69″ from Bryan Adams… A classic and for me setting the right atmosphere :)

    First song would be “Your Song” but with Euan McGregor singing it… Can’t beat a bit of Moulin Rouge

    Reply

  12. This one’s easy — my huge crush is on Hozier, so the first song I’d play would be one of his — either “To Be Alone” or “Like Real People Do.” Great question and I am drooling big time over this giveaway! :)

    This is so cute and I know that I would love to be able to make this myself and then give it to my grandchild. It’s like a quilt from my world. Thank you for one of the greatest giveaway ever. AND you have even included 6 fat quarters from Cotton and Steel. Great fabric from a great manufacturer. Thank you for taking the time to be a part of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day and being so generous with your gift. Happy Holidays to you. Oh yes, I would play the songs I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Happy Together.

    What a cute idea for a quilt.
    My song choice would be “I Just Called to Say I Love You” by Stevie Wonder.

  20. Okay, that is an awesome question! I like Mary Ann’s idea “All I want for Christmas is you” or maybe Billy Joel, “She’s Got a Way”

  21. Well, wouldn’t you just know that I would LOVE to win this! As a newbie quilter, building up a nice stash can be a bit daunting, both for fabrics and patterns.
    So, in answer to your question, the song I would put first on my mix tape would be a golden oldie (of course), the Everley brothers’ All I Have to Do is Dream.

  22. Robyn

    I have never been one to make mix tapes… I really don’t know! I do know that I love Push by Sarah McLachlan though, I made sure it was in our wedding playlist. But that doesn’t really set the theme for letting someone know you have a crush on them, it definitely is about a relationship already in progress.

    Super good question! I think Love Story by Taylor Swift.

    I have the most terrible memory for songs… I’m like I like this song. People ask me: Who is it by? Don’t know… What is it called? Don’t know… What are some of the words? Don’t know… So this is pretty much an impossible question for me. But perhaps since you have him cornered in the car and there is no escape (for either of you!) it could be a good time to chat about how you feel. After all men generally don’t do so well with the subtle hint. :)

    I’d put “Fat Bottom Girls” by Queen. It was my first dance wedding song and certainly a conversation starter.

  29. I was struggling to decide what song would be first on that mix tape when I saw another post and it is so perfect! All I Want for Christmas is You.

  30. Monique

    That’s simple it would have to be Let’s Get it On by Marvin Gaye. Oh or if you’re feeling really naughty then Feelin’ Love by Paula Cole. Gotta be feeling particularly frisky and naughty for that one though. :-)

    I’d start my playlist with A Small Victory by Faith No More… :-) I love songs with content, not just lyrics. Thanks for the chance!

  32. Thanks for a great giveaway! Seeings how I’m engaged and happening to be going on a long road trip in 2 weeks I’d have to go with a song that we can both sing to and be goofy (even if it were just a secret crush I’d probably go with this option). Right now our favorite is the Christmas song where they say Christmas over and over again in the background. We enjoy being extra goofy with that one, trying out all the different ways we could possibly shout out that it’s Christmas :D

    That’s so cute! Um..that might be the hardest question ever, all the things I can think of are LOVE songs and that might be a bit heavy for expressing a crush ;) I’m going to go with the wholly inappropriate Violent Femmes “Blister in the Sun” since they are my favorite commuting/traffic jam music anyway :)

    I would put on some old school Journey probably, to signal my crush….or mabey Bryan Adams, Heaven…. geez,it’s tough because I basically communicate through my playlist, so every song has it’s perfect place. Maybe “right here waiting for you” my Richard Marx OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG hahahahahahahah yeah that one.
    Okay I’m getting weird now so I’ll go.

  56. “Falling in love in a coffee shop” by Landon Pigg. Hands down the most romantic song when he sings “I think that possibly maybe I’m falling for you………… yes there’s a chance that I’ve fallen quite hard over you….” Ugh, I die!

    Shoot, I don’t know the name of it — there was this song back when I was in college about someone missing someone far away, it had the phrase “now I lay me down to sleep”. I’d pick that one, because most of my husband’s and my dating relationship happened long distance.
