What quilter can refuse a box of chocolates? I have been using EQ since its conception and have appreciated each upgrade. Hugs to you and thanks for a chance to win. Happy 09-09-09!!
I'd love to win a box of Chocolates today - as it is the birthdate of my new grand daughter!
Lucky day!!! Chocolate without calories.
I love to win the pattern and fabric and of course a box of chocolates.
The opportunity to win something this wonderful is a beautiful thing! Today is my daughter's birthday and we are celebrating her "Magical" birthday as a family.
Thanks for offering this give away for 09/09/09. If lucky enough to be selected to win, I would love to make this quilt for my daughter-in-law to be. Pink is her favorite color and this may be just the quilt to get her hooked on quilting.
I would love to win the pattern and the fabric. I could snuggle down real easily. And I guess I would share the chocolates with my hubby. Since yesterday was my birthday I think I should win.
For the last 5 years, I've been limited to virtual quilts using EQ, which I've had since it's inception, due to a back injury. Today is the first day of recovery from a surgical implant, which I have been praying leads back to my making actual quilts. As a chocoholic, this design would be absolutely perfect for my reacquaintance with my Pfaff!
Add me please I would love to win
What more could a quilter ask for - fat quarters, quilt pattern and chocolate without calories??? Thanks for the chance to win!!
Oh my gosh! Who wouldn't love to win some of that absolutely GORGEOUS fabric and a beautifully yummy box of chocolates!
I have signed up for your newsletter and have also found you on Facebook.
Love your blog by the way!
Thanks!

Hi, I love EQ, chocolates and today 09/09/09 is my 31st wedding anniversary. What a great day!
Thanks so much for offering this giveaway. It is great way to celebrate the day!
I would like to win the box of chocolates. The fabric is a little funky and different from what I usually do, so it would be good to expand my horizons.
Wow I love your fabric. After a brush with breast cancer this year and now news that I'm going to have twin grandbabies in early 2010 I'm full steam ahead with my quilting. I would love to win and make the "Box of Chocolates" it would make my turn around from sad to glad complete.

Love this quilt. It reminds me so much of the box of chocolate covered cherries I gave my beloved Dad every year for his birthday and Christmas. My Mom started this when I was small child and I continued it until he was in his 80's when I found out he didn't even like chocolate covered cherries! LOL

What else could a chocoholic want!!! Please enter me in the giveaway. I know I would love to make that for one of my kids.
Lovely fabric and great pattern(s). There is a bed in this house that needs a covering, but how could I just not put that loveliness on the back of the couch or on the wall? Thank You!
I have been wanting to make myself a quilt for quite a while. The pattern is very nice and the fabrics are lovely. Please enter me in the draw.
I have several of your patterns and all have made wonderful quilts, would love this new one!
Count me in to win. I think I have made each of your quilt at least once. Thanks for the chance to win.

Isn't this a great day and at 9 past 9 it will be 09-09-09-09. My granddaughter is not lucky enough to have today as her birthday but yesterday she was so if I win I would use it to make her a quilt for her birthday next year when she turns 10.
Barbara
I love the names of your patterns! I just found your blog (lucky me!) and would love to enter for the fabric. I would make a quilt for ME since I always tend to give what I make away! Plus I love chocolate. :)

'Life's a box of chocolates--you never know what you're going to get.' But I'd sure like to get this pattern and fabric: the combination is fantastic!!

09/09/09 Giveaway... this is my dad's birthday! I would love to make a quilt for him with this fabric to have for the grandkids when they visit.
Thank you!
I need to win this because I am new to quilting... and I would love to win... *grin* I just bought the purse her mother made to match. love it love it love it... and I signed up on the nuzletter before I came to your site. wooohooo.
I love quilting but I don't have a lot of time for shopping for fabric, so winning this would be fabulous. I am fairly new to quilting and am currently working on "In A Snap" for my daughter. I have three kids and work 30 hours a week at home and quilting has become my "ME" time, but I am still able to sit with the kids while they watch cartoons or play video games. It is the best hobby.
I am so excited to even have a chance of winning a "box of chocolates" who can resist. The fabric and pattern would be wonderful, I hope my name is drawn! I am glad you are back full time with us! I know you had a great experience. I hope life is better for you and your family now!
I'd love to win this for my daughter who's currently battling breast cancer. I've used this fabric line to make her head scarf and the quilt would brighten her room and face :-)
I'd love the Box of Chocolates, especially since they are calorie free. I already get your newsletter and will follow you on Facebook momentarily.
Quilts, fabric, & chocolate... the finest things in life. Thanks for chance to win; this would make a great gift quilt for one of my friends.
Yum! Life is like a "Box of Chocolates", just like Forrest Gump said, quoting his "Mama". Thanks for a great giveaway on 9-9-09.
It's a beautiful quilt. I would be honored to win the pattern and fabric. Best of luck to everyone 09/09/09!
The warm and bright colors would make a beautiful quilt! Thanks for the givewawy of this kit.
I have been salivating over that fabric since i first laid eyes on it! I would love a chance to get my paws on it! The colors are fab and I always like trying new patterns :-)
What could be sweeter than to wrap myself up in a Box of Chocolates?
Ooh, chocolate and fabric - what a great combination!
What delightful and cheery fabrics in this quilt. It makes you feel young and happy. I would love to make a quilt for my granddaughter with this if I should be so lucky.

Chocolate, did you say chocolate? You can never have too much chocolate.
I love it all, the pattern, fabric, oh the pinks greens and browns! Just lovely!
A box of chocolates with the guilt and calories? Count me in!
I would love to win the fabric and to be able to combine it with "a box of chocolates", well, that would be heaven. :) I love the color combination.
How can I pass up a chance to win one of my all time favorite...chocolate!

I would love to win this for my mother. She has been my rock and biggest supporter throughout my entire life, and has always put the needs of her family first. Even now, in her retirement, her husband's health needs place a continual emotional and physical strain. How wonderful it would be to provide her, an obsessed quilter, with some treasured moments of tranquility and creativity.
Absolutely love the colors! And it would be fantastic to hear "fat quarters" and "chocolate" and not have them referring me! Just kidding!
Susan I would love to win this because the colors of the fabric are bright and vibrant. I want to make a spanish quilt for my classroom and this would be it.muchas gracias por la oportunidad.
Well this certainly the only way I'll get to handle any type of chocolate .... thanks
I would love to win some beautiful fabrics that celebrate chocolate!
wow great giveaway! I'd love to win your giveaway and make this fabulous "non fattening" chocolate delight!
Well, this is a very nice giveaway. My husband is currently without a job due to the economy and company downsizing. I am so tempted to buy fabric, but have really been trying to hold myself back a bit. THIS would a great treat for me, better than a box of chocolates. What a cute pattern, thank you.
I joined your group on facebook, but didn't see an option to type 09/09/09 Giveaway"!
What a fabulous giveaway- I love the fabrics and am a big fan of Michael Miller fabrics in general. Somebody is going to be one happy quilter when they win this giveaway prize.
Warmest regards from Western Canada,
Anna

Hmmmmm, I love the fabrics colours, looks yummy, I'd like to eat it all, lol, I'll be very happy to make some delightful quilts... happy 09/09/09
I would love to win too. How could anyone resist the colors or the chance to have the full package--great design (via the sneak peek)and enough fabric to do it right away.
Instant gratification with a box of chocolates that doesn't go straight to your hips (unless pulling the quilt over the hips).
Desperate to get back into crafting, been away from it for too long and what a better way to get back into it with Susan's gorgous box of chocolates design, and just think no calories either.
