A couple of things finished and a little plan !

First of all I have finished a UFO - hurray. It's not an old UFO but it's done all the same. It's the 30's stars quilt I made recently which is now quilted, bound and in the home of it's new owner baby Carys. It came out lovely and so colourful and happy. I was a bit sorry to see it go. My friend Cath who is the babies nana was over the moon with it. I have asked for a photo of Carys with her quilt at some point and she has promised to get me one. I saw Cath a day or two later and she said the new parents loved it too. I have also quilted a dolls quilt ( which originally started life as a knitting bag - lol ) and that just needs binding. I want to get at least one more UFO done before the end of January and I know which one it will be - A log cabin that needs borders and quilting.

Just in the interests of research - I have made 1 block which I think I will be doing my nephews quilt with. I think it is called Paducah 9-patch. I plan to make this quilt using browns and blues of which I seem to have plenty.

At my Tuesday quilting group one of the ladies - Wendy - had made a little sewing bag featured in one of this months British magazines - Popular Patchwork. It was lovely and that was all it took. Off to shops next day for the mag and there we have it. Plenty of pockets for knick-knacks and a handy pincushion on the front.

So enjoyed making this - in fact I made two ! Heres where my little plan comes in. You see - every so often I notice my stat counter goes up quite a lot and it has got me wondering about visitors to my blog. For a long time before I started my own I was a blog addict and reads tons of them all the time. I would never comment or anything but just lurked - lol !

Anyway to get to the point I am curious about who visits and where they come from. So if you would like to win this little bag ( I will throw in a few fat quarters too ) leave a comment telling me where you're from and perhaps how long you've been reading my ramblings. Doesn't matter if you have a blog or not - as long as there is some way to contact you that is fine. Of course any of my other bloggy friends is welcome too. I will draw a name on Monday morning (28th Jan).

Have a great weekend. I am thinking about doing Bonnies mystery - Quilt As You Go to save having another big quilt top hanging around. So may try that over the next couple of days.
