I got this pattern "by accident" from Pink Chalk Fabrics. It's brand new, still in the plastic sleeve. I only took it out to take pictures without the glare from the plastic. It's not my style and I will probably never use it, so I want to pass it on to one of you who will. It's a Carolyn Friedlander design. To enter, just post a comment on this post.

The draw is not limited to geogrraphic location. Just make sure I have a way to contact you (google+, facebook or email) if you win.
Now a word about Pink Chalk Fabrics: I just discovered them recently when I was looking for a Kona colour card (I will blog about this later) and they were selling them. They answered my questions promptly and were a pleasure to deal with. Shipping was quite reasonable and my order was shipped out quickly. I communicated with them both by email and telephone and found them very polite and pleasant. I have added their link to my favourite quilting links in my sidebar. There are so many quilting vendors out there that I like to share if I've found one I like.
Good luck on the draw.
It's time for me to host a giveaway. First, let's start with the prize:
These are 5 fat quarters from my local quilt shop, plus this book:
Now, the background... Earlier this year, I won a giveaway from Ada Kopitopoulou, which included this book. Here's what I won:
As far as I can tell, the book started in the USA from Dawn's Quilt Corner in November of 2011. Different winners have added their blog addresses to the inside front cover (about 8 of us so far) and it appears this book has been to Holland and Greece and I now have it here in Canada. Whoever wins my giveaway must agree to pass on the book in a similar manner. The fabric and any other surprises I include are yours to keep. You can add whatever fabric and/or surprises you like when you give the book away.
When I entered the giveaway, I wasn't particularly interested in the book, but free fabric is always exciting. I might not mind the odd mystery, but I'm not into graphic and gruesome and I found the cover and title of this book rather creepy. However, I decided to give it a try and it didn't live up to its creepiness. It was actually a pretty light-hearted mystery. The murder victim is an old skeleton, buried for 30 years, that was unearthed in a flower garden, so nothing too scary about that. The main characters are well-developed and I found myself liking them right from the start. My favourite line from the book is "It looks like a potato chip," which has nothing to do with the murder, but it made me laugh heartily. I won't spoil the surprise by telling you what that line is about. And, of course, it's a quilt-themed book.

Good luck. I'm looking forward to seeing where this book will travel next. And hopefully you'll share with me what you made with the fabric.
