And the Winner is...

I've placed all entries in my trusty tupperware bowl

and enlisted my favorite (not to mention totally handsome) assistant to draw a name

mixing...

mixing...

more mixing...

VOILA!

And the winner is...

Fransson blogs, as well as many already mentioned: quiltville SewCalGirl v & co sewtakeahike Park City Girl p.s.iquilt Crazy Mom Quilts IHAN Red Pepper Quilts Cluck Cluck Sew. I do not have my own blog so this book would be most helpful to get me started (once I get the courage).


Here's what Marcia won...

Naturally, the much-desired book along with a couple of Mary Engelbreit emery boards, a little notebook I made for her to jot down notes from the book

and to give her sustenance (Bonetown style) while she engrosses herself in her reading - a cute little origami bag full of Cow Tales!

I wanted to include some chocolate as we know all quilters love chocolate, but wasn't sure it would ship unscathed thru this hot weather, so Bill suggested his favorite treat...naturally, because he gets to eat the leftovers!  :)

Best of luck, Marcia - I hope this book gives you the courage you seek to step out and start blogging!!!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated because now I have a long list of new blogs to check out once I have time after the construction project is complete.  I truly wish I had 25 copies of this book to give away to everyone who entered, but since I can't I'll tell you that you can get one at a really good price here.
