Today is a special day for me. I can remember this day nine years ago like it was yesterday. All the plans, all the people, all the preparing... And a beautiful day to remember. In the early afternoon on July 13, 2002 I married my very own Prince Charming and he is still my darling to this day.
So, like I said in my post last week, it's time for another giveaway! And this time, as previously mentioned, it's all about Jo Morton!
I sure had fun collecting things for this giveaway. I decided I would have a Jo Morton themed giveaway this summer some months ago and have been collecting a few items since then. The first on the list is this gorgeous basket book. I had a hard time parting with it, but I know that it will be just as at home with the winner as it is here. It is an oldie but a goodie originally published in 2001.
Next we have a set of coordinating fat quarters to add to your Jo stash - or start one! They are Canadian fat quarters cut at 20" wide instead of 18" and they will be perfect added into a project or for you to make something with them alone.
And then... My most favourite part... The BH&G quilting magazine that features a tour of Jo's home and studio and a private interview with her. Not only that, but she designed a courthouse steps quilt as a special feature in the magazine. It is beautiful and a thrill to make. I am loving every bit of making mine! Included is a copy of the magazine, the red fabric for the center squares of each block, and a few 1" strips to get you going.
To enter, it's the same deal as always, just leave a comment. If you are not a follower but would like to be, please go ahead, but it is not a requirement to enter. MAKE SURE there is a method for me to contact you. If you are a "no reply" commenter with no method to contact you, your entry will not qualify for the draw. If you would like to advertise this giveaway on your own blog, go right ahead, the more the merrier!
The contest is open until Sunday, July 24, 2011 at midnight your local time.!
Good luck and enjoy!
Heather

Happy Anniversary! What a wonderful collection of books and fabrics. A Jo Morton fan (and newbie) should be thrilled with this package. Please exclude me from the draw - I won the last one and would like to see someone else 'jump up and down'.
Happy Anniversary. I'm fairly new to quilting, and I'm not familiar with Jo Morton, but would love this wonderful smattering of items you have selected. Hope you and Prince Charming have a wonderful anniversary celebration.
Happy Anniversary. At first I thought it was your blog anniversary! I haven't seen that Jo Morton book before.
Happy anniversary! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
Hi. I love Jo Morton, in fact I am just working on a quilt for my parents using Jo's fabric. Her books aren't very easy to get hold of over here in the UK so I would love to get my eager little hands on it. Congratulations on your anniversary - wishing you many many happy years to come. Thank you Caroline

Wow what a great give-away. I love Jo Morton & I'd love to win all of the goodies. And I'm especially excited as Jo Morton is coming to Australia in September, she's attending a quilt show which happens annually to raise money for breast cancer. There's also a quilt that's raffled to raise money too & this year it's made using Jo morton fabric.
Congrats! You are blessed!

Happy Anniversary! We just had our 10th, it's hard to imagine, but time flies when your in love yes? This is a neat giveaway, thanks so much. I had never been a fan of pieced baskets, not sure why, Im thinking because it's missing the gorgeous flowers which I love. The appliqued baskets complete with floral arrangement might be fun, thanks!
Happy Anniversary. Who wouldn't love receiving Jo Morton goodies? Thanks for the opportunity.
All the best for your anniversary from one Albertan to another. I am new to the blogging world and I was excited to see a made in Alberta blog.
Congratulations on your Anniversary!!
