Five Years in Blogland - Giveaway 1

On Friday 28th December 2007 Auntie's Quaint Quilts was launched with the following words:


Five years later I still have lots of UFOs BUT I have certainly finished a lot of projects too. AND I have friends both near and far who 'get' my addiction to fabric and all things 'stitchy and quilty.
To celebrate and say thank you for your encouragement over the last five years I will be holding five giveaways over five days. Each giveaway will be determined by a random draw. All giveaways will finish at midnight on Friday 4th January. (Penguin time!)
To enter just leave a comment on the post for that particular giveaway making sure I can contact you if you are fortunate enough to win. I always enjoy hearing where my readers are from, what you are currently working on or what your favourite fabrics are at the moment . I will happily post both within Australia and overseas.
Today's prize is a brand new copy of Molly Makes Christmas. 



As it says in the preface, the book features over 20 new projects from Mollie Makes magazine's favourite designers.

Good luck lovely readers and let the fun begin.
