A little about Jo and her family...Jo lives in Iowa, and her family are farming folks. That is my background too, so I instantly just loved Jo's blog and her quilts too, of course, and I read their blog every day. Jo and her husband recently bought a new home and are in the process of making the house just right for them. Jo is the kind of lady that you love right away. She would make the perfect sister, best friend or neighbor...too bad I live half the world away! I love that Jo and Kelli, Jo's daughter work as the perfect team doing the quilting. Jo designs...Kelli cuts and sews...Jo sews too...Jo quilts...they just work as a well oiled machine!
The best thing is...if you leave a comment here, you are eligible for a drawing to win this book from Jo!! So please leave a comment, and if you are selected, you are also eligible for a bigger grand prize from Jo's Country Junction. The drawing is on the 17th of March.
Please see her blog HERE, at Jo's Country Junction, to order your own personally autographed copy of Jo and Kelli's book. Jo has a book store now!! This book is a great gift idea too, because there is something in the book for everyone. It is published through Kansas City Star quilts. Jo has also been published many times in quilt magazines and different venues, and I am always tickled to see her name in my quilt magazines.
Please see all these fun bloggers too on the blog hop! I am day Three...Bonnie and I from Quiltville switched due to Bonnie's teaching schedule...so there are so many fun blogs to go to and enjoy.
