Have you ever heard about "those people" who buy something.....like a quilt book......and when they get home they discover they already have that book?
Well.....if I was ever one of "those people".....I would want to share one of my copies with a friend.
Hello Friend!
It is feeling like summer here in Minnesota.
Once Upon A Summer by Heather Mulder Peterson has 12 fun patterns that were inspired by her honeymoon trip to California.
Heather is a designer from Minnesota. Anka's Treasures was named after her Grandmother. You can visit her at http://www.anka'streasures.com/
If you would like to be entered in the drawing, just leave a comment. If you share this Summer Give-A-Way on your blog, I will enter your name twice.
I will draw a random winner on June 1.....when I get home from my dentist appointment.

Oh I really want to win that book! I just got some of her fabric and it would be perfect for the snails quilt I see in there! Thanks for the giveaway! (Pick me! Pick me!! LOL)
You are not alone! I have done it a couple of times.. buying duplicates. I get home and think... o my gosh!! Duh! And then I share them :o) I actually have this book, so please don't include me, but I just wanted to share with ya.
I'm afraid I have done this more than once. Love the book
I think we've all done the same thing haven't we? Would love this and I definitely haven't got it..LOL!

Looks like a lovely book. your blog is very nice. Lizzie
I am forever buying patterns/books that I already have. Honestly we must really love them that's why we buy in duplicate. lol
Good luck at the dentist. That is one place I do not like going.
I own this book...it is a good one and I could see why you ended up with two. Hee! It happens!!
OH I've done that! Many. many times....
I love that book, please enter my name in your drawing. I have totally done that, bought a magazine or book that I already had.
I think it's probably a really good book if you bought it twice! :) Please count me in for the giveaway!
The projects look lovely!
Thanks to Mary for letting me know about your giveaway!
Have a great holiday weekend!
Anka's Treasure books are always good. I have done the duplicate book thing too. Silly but sometimes we forget.
Mary from Quilt Hollow (quilthollow.blogspot.com) directed me to this wonderful giveaway! Please include me in your drawing! It is an awesome and generous giveaway! Good luck with your dentist appointment. June 1st is my wedding anniversary, 14years!
I would also LOVE to win this book!! And yes I have bought duplicate books and magazines...;o) So happy to hear that I'm not alone... Thanks for throwing my name into the give away hat!!

I would like to have this book. I usually don't buy the book because I am afraid I already have it. But I don't have this one!
Ms Quilt Hollow told me about this. It looks fabulous and I'd LOVE to win it, if I'm eligible as I live in the UK?
Oh, and yes, I have been there, done that and even got the t-shirt (2 t-shirts actually)!
A posted a link to this giveaway on my blog.
Mary told me too! I'd love to become your new best friend and win your duplicate oopsy. *wink*
Haven't we all made the same mistake at least once? I know I have. Oops!
Mary sent me and I would love to win this book too. :-) I have a dentist appt this week too~ I'm dreading mine!~ I hope yours isn't too bad. ;-) Thanks for the chance!
Yes...I have heard of those people and used to BE one of those people. Now I keep an alphabetized list on my computer of all my quilting books AND patterns and keep a printed copy in my purse. No more duplicate-buying for me!!! (People laugh but then they realize it is a GOOD idea to do what I'm doing!!!) Mary from Quilt Hollow told me about your blog. Please enter my name as this is a book I do NOT have yet!
What a great quilting book! I really like the tablerunner. Thank you for the chance to win!

I'd love to be entered into your giveaway! I love Heather's patterns.
I've done this more times than I care to admit! It looks like a great book - no wonder you bought it twice!
Cheers!
The perils of too much stash! When you keep buying the same thing over and over.
Please add me in for the giveaway
Hi, Mary sent me.
I would love a chance to win this book, it looks wonderful. Plus since the author made the projects because of her trip to California, It would be perfect because I LIVE in California.
Thanks for the chance to win.

I had to laugh when I read your post because I do that with quilting magazines that I don't have subscriptions too. LOL...One day your just going through your books and magazines and OOPS...there it is, I had 3 copies of the same magazine one time, that was a HUGE 'senior moment'. I love Heather Mulder Peterson's patterns. Thanks so very much for a chance to have this book. AND a big thank you to Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow for letting me know about this great giveaway. Good Luck EVERYONE!!!
I too am a big fan of Heather's patterns. I don't think I have ever seen this book before. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for entering me :-)

I just adore Heather. I follow her blog and love her fabrics as well as her books and patterns.
Not only have I bought "double" books, I've also bought double patterns and just when I thought I had a certain charm pack - I didn't...LOL
My brain just isn't what it used to be.
I really enjoy Heather Mulder Peterson's patterns. I would so enjoy this book.
Thanks so much for your generosity in offering this giveaway.

Oh my gosh!!!!, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee enter me in the drawing, I love Heather Mulder Peterson, but desafortunately I don't own any of her books yet!!!, I'd love4 to have it!!!
I can also relate to buying two of something- I chalk it up to being busy and wanting to be sure that I have that particular book- Someone is going to be real happy when you draw their name to win this lovely book.

I was directed to your blog from Sharlotte's blog (http://thehappyneedle.blogspot.com/)
Love your blog, and the book :o)
Hi Sheila. I found your giveaway on Sharlotte's blog. I'd love a chance to win. I love the pic of your grandson on the tractor. I have a 2 1/2 yo grandson and tractor was one of his first words. He loves riding on the tractor with his paw-paw. I have a daughter that just turned 14. I am not ready for the driving thing either!!! lol
cute book! So fun to find your blog too. Please include me in your drawing.
I would love to give your book a home!!
Sheila , thank you for the chance to win this lovely prize. Mary from Quilt hollow sent me.
Cute book. Think there must be a club of us who have purchased the same book (or item) twice. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
The info about the book giveaway's on the sidebar of my blog. I guess you're used to hear that, but how lucky you're to have a twin, it's neat!!!!, wish I was a twin, lol, hope you had a good appointment with your dentist!
Thanks for sharing. Please enter me in your giveaway.
That looks like a very fun book to have please enter me in your giveaway.
LOL! I can't tell you how many times I have done this - I am blaming it on memory lapses due to aging. Maybe though we should both consider it a sign of continued good taste?
Hugs,
Kerry
