"If all else fails and you long to be...something better than you are today...I know a place where you can get away...it's called a QUILT SHOP...and here's what it's for...

Um...yeah...better let her do it. I don't have a cone bra to complete the ensemble.
This week we are celebrating all things...Madonna! I know...she isn't exactly the matronly image one would blend with quilting...but...whatev. I don't stand above anyone else. This icon and Queen of Pop is a seven time Grammy award winner and is about to release her 12th studio album. Yes, even in this "Gaga-Inspired World" the original pop music chameleon is still very much relevant that she was asked to be this year's entertainment during the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show! I of course, am ecstatic. After attending three of her most amazing concert experiences...I just might wet myself. I brought the Mothership to Chicago to see one of the tours a few years back and...um...we were in the sixth row. On the floor. Next to her...CATWALK! I'm a tad bit obsessed. Oops.

Okay, don't tell anyone but I watched Desperatly Seeking Susan last week. So "In The Groove" is my fav Madonna song. It wasn't bad seeing young Mr blue eyes either.

Vogue, it's the funnest song to sing :D

Gotta be Material Girl! I don't think Madonna and I think of the same kind of Material though. Wonder if she knows how to sew? Probably doesn't have time for it even if she did.Thanks for being a "go to" place when I need my material fix!
Posted by: Judy | Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 03:39 PM
Material Girl is my favorite and is very fitting - since I'm a material girl too!!!
Posted by: Julie | Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 12:42 PM
Like a Prayer is one of my favorites.
Posted by: Susan Dulis-Rinne | Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 12:30 PM
I like Material Girl among others.
I love all the material in your store, its fabulous.
Posted by: Judy | Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 11:39 AM
I really like Don't Cry for me, Argentina and also Material Girl. 'Cause I'm a material girl, lol! And I really enjoy your blog posts, especially the videos you include. Thanks!
Posted by: Nita | Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 10:33 AM
Love "Don't Tell Me" because I LOVE the video (western theme, dancing in the dust with the cowboys!)
Posted by: Patty F. | Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 07:31 AM
Rain is my favorite because the video is so beautiful.
Posted by: Pattie C | Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 06:32 AM
You want me to pick one favorite? REally? LOL OK fine. I'll pick La Isla Bonita. There is something about that song that hits deeper than most of her songs. It's smooth and rythmic like a heart beat. It's a sip a cognac and close your eyes blissful.
Have a wonderful Super Bolt Party!
Posted by: Marcia | Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 03:43 AM
Fav Madonna song? It is a list but for tonight I will choose "Into the Groove" .... just like the beat and the words .... thanks

Vogue! Of all the MTV videos I watched when my daughter was a teenager (not that many really. . . oh, well, more than a few dozen but fewer than a hundred. . . I think) I remember this one above all. In fact, when the word "video" comes up, I think of that 'head shot' of Madonna with her beautiful arms going every which way, framing her expressive face. Remember?! Vogue, definitely.

I like "Lucky Star" and "Holiday"- makes me want to dance and I don't even like to dance. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
Posted by: Becky S | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 09:03 PM
Have enjoyed many of her songs, but always really liked "This used to be our playground".
Posted by: Lori | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 08:47 PM
Who's that baby. I used to sing it to my daughter while she was wrapped up in her towel after bath time

Madonna is one of my all time favorite artists. I grew up with her thru my teen-age years. My favorites are Material Girl and also Vogue. They are so fun to dance to as are most of her songs but Vogue was the first and only song I karaoke'd to. And yes I struck a pose.
Posted by: Erin Butrico | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 07:22 PM
Papa Don't Preach and Into the Groove are my favorite Madonna songs!!!
Love your store, have only been coming for a few months but I always find what I am looking for whenever I visit - thanks!
Posted by: Regan | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 06:53 PM
I have 2 songs by Madonna! The first is La Isla Bonita and the second is Material Girl! La Isla Bonita because I am a travel agent and this reminds me it isz time for a sunny vacation and Material Girl because I use a lot of material making beach bags to give my client! So you can see I would love to win and add to my stash to make bags!
Posted by: KarenLee | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 06:42 PM
You'll See - not sure about favorite, not a Madonna fan, but I do like that song.
Posted by: Louisa | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 06:38 PM
My favorite Madonna song is Don't Cry for Me Argentina.
Posted by: Rhodylvr | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 06:19 PM
Like a Virgin! But of course I'm not but I am a Material girl!
Posted by: Karen | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 05:37 PM
Of course my favorite song would be Material Girl, and I would like to win and add the prize to my material collection!
Posted by: Donna Hefty | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 04:30 PM
Vogue of course is my favorite Madonna song because I can take it on my walks and walk very fast listening to it!! Thanks
Posted by: Susan Fugate | Monday, January 30, 2012 at 04:24 PM
Hard to name just one favorite song by Madonna. Would be a draw between Material Girl and Like a Virgin.
