a fat quarter bundle of Joel Dewberry's Aviary 2 from my stash (including a coordinating fat quarter of Kona Charcoal.)
and a Clover Hera marker (this thing is so neat!)
International visitors are welcome to enter. Please make sure you leave your email in your comment if you are a no-reply blogger so I can get in touch with you. If I can't contact you, I will choose another winner.
The winner will be chosen by random number generator and announced on Thursday, May 26.
At my house, summer starts today so to enter, leave a comment telling me what you think the best parts are about summer.

The best thing about summer is just being able to spend time outside and truly enjoy it! I love having picnics, going to the seaside, going for walks, hula hooping in the park... as I get older, I think I appreciate summer even more (what little we get of it here in the UK).
Thank you for the generous giveaway!
