As you may know this is my 100th post so in true bloggy tradition I have little giveaway. Leave a comment on THIS post and I will draw a name on Wednesday evening ( 18th June ) my time ( GMT ). Here is the prize.

A little stitchery bag that I have been working on and which I have so enjoyed making. My lovely son Patrick ( 11 years old ) can't believe I am giving this away. I am going to do another one for myself though so that is alright.
_edited.jpg)
I also bought this 6 fat quarter pack from a fabric seller that visits our quilt group and this can be yours too. Very pretty fabrics. I have nearly used these a few times but I did buy them especially for this so have resisted. Aren't I a good girl ?
Now for a bit of fun and because I am avoiding doing my ironing - lol - I am doing another little MYSTERY prize. If you win this one you will not know what is coming to you til you get it. Now to be entered into the mystery draw you have to do the following...
On my last post I showed the 3D hexagons I am working on. If you would like to guess how many different fabrics I have cut from my stash so far I will put you in my mystery draw. Here are some pictures to help
_edited.jpg)
This is what I have sewn together so far and the little pile of completed hexagons ready to be joined on.
_edited.jpg)
These in the box are all tacked over papers and ready to be sewn together in groups of 3 and the stuff in front is a pile of fabrics ready to be tacked over papers when I have had chance to cut some more.
So if you would care to comment just for the bag and FQ's please do so but add a guess for the mystery prize. Clear as mud ? lol . I will give the prize to the closest guess.
Good Luck !! Anyone who reads this but doesn't have a blog feel free to comment as long as I have a way to get in touch if you are the winner.

Congratulations on POST 100 !
That is a beautiful bag, can I win it? Congratulations on post 100. I plan to give my Dear Jane wallhanging away for my 200th post probably in the States, as I am running out of time before we leave!!
Happy 100th post, may you have many hundreds more!
congrats on your 100 posts.......
Happy 100-post'iversary!!! Keep it up! I love your blog!!!
I agree with your son! Can't believe you'll be giving this gorgeous bag away! But if you pick my name, know it will be well taken care of!
Hmmm... mystery draw, hm? It looks like a whole lot, so my guess 380 pieces? I'm probably nowhere near the actual number *lol*
Have they have been great posts too! Lovely to have met you and Patrick (who is right! What a fantastic giveaway!! - pick me pick me LOL)
I guess at least 1000 pieces of fabric!
That was meant to say "and they have been great posts too!" Sorry about that, just too eager to post (and win LOL)
Congrats on the big 1-0-0!
It really doesn't take long to reach 100 posts does it?
The bag and fabric bundle are awesome and I'll guess 850 fabrics so far.
Becky in SC - USA
Congratulations on your Blogiversary! I'm guessing that you've cut 280 fabrics so far.
Hello, Congratulations on your 100th post. I would also love to use your little bag but I would have written anyway. I would love to know how you made the handles. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. I guess you have cut from over 250 pieces of material. Could anyone own that many?!! LOL. Cheers Cherrie
Congratulations...100 posts...the world of blogging is most enjoyable....I never thought it would be this much fun either...your bag is so lovely...
Congratulations on your 100th post! I would love a chance to win that beautiful little bag! Thank you.
Love the bag, and I would feel so honored to win it. Re the hexagon pieces - I once read the definition of a true scrappy quilt is that it must have at least 99 different fabrics in it - hence that is my guess - 99.
OOOaahhhh!! What a beautiful bag!!
Congrats on your 100th post! I love reading your blog!
Oh me oh my! You're making this quite exciting, Andrea! I'm going to say 69 fabrics.
LOVE the stitchery bag!!! Patrick does have fine taste, doesn't he. That gathered strap/handle is just adorable...and your stitching is exquisite!
I'm guessing 450 pieces of fabric! Truly, I have no idea. Those little piles can be really misleading... :)
The bag is lovely. Hope I win!!!
I am guessing 434 different fabrics cut so far for your paper piecing.
Congrats on your 100th!!! You are giving away some fantastic things. I love the fat quarters. Pick me, Pick me!!!! :)
Now on to the mystery, I guess 483 fabrics so far.
Congratulations on your 100th post! That is a lovely bag, you are so generous :)
I think you've cut about 275?
Congrats on the 100th. I too love blogging and I LOVE that bag. Count me in.
Andrea, the bag is stunning! I would absolutely love to have my name drawn for it!!!! Congratulations on your 100th post and I hope there will many more! I love reading your blog and seeing your projects.
Oh, I love that bag! And those fat quarters are really pretty. Congratulations on your 100th post! I just recently had mine too... As for the mystery... I would guess that you've used about 50 different fabrics on those 3D hex blocks... they look really pretty!
Oh my-I have to agree with your son-can't believe you're giving away such a lovely bag. I would love to be in your draw!
Congrats on 100 posts-can't wait to read the next 100.
Becca

Congrats to you and your blog!
It's a beautiful bag! And you know what? June 18th it's my birthday!
About the mystery: 250 fabrics...
Congratulations on your 100th post. I love the bag and the pack of fabrics!

Forgot to add a guess for the pieces in your box. I guess you have 380 in the box

Congratulations on your 100th post! I so enjoy reading your blog you are a very talented quilter!
I don't have a clue on how many fabric you would have in those! But I do know they are beautiful! I have never saw that pattern before! That would make the perfect take-along project to work on!
Kristie
Congratulations on your 100th post. I look forward to reading your 200th!
Congrats on your milestone. I'm guessing 373. They are coming together really well.
Congratulations - 100 posts and isn't it fun blogging....vbg. Looove the bag and I agree with your son (clever young man that he is) - how can you give it away and those fat quarters too!!! Please pop me in your draw - although you know I will continue to read your blog just for the inspiration anyway...lol.
As for the mystery prize - hmmmmmm - I have looked at the photos closely, pulled out the magnifying glass and still can't quite decide....roflmol....so I will go for a nice number of 485 - how's that for a guess.....lmol. I'm bound to be miles off but it's so much fun guessing.
OMG what a beautiful bag and how lovely it would look sitting next to me on the beach at the lake in August - LOL. I'll come back and figure out a good guess for the mystery prize.
Lovely bag, congrats on 100!!!!!wish I had the energy to do 100 posts......very nice.
Happy 100th post.
That is a beautiful bag. I would love to win it.
I'm going to guess 360 different fabrics in your 3d hexagons.
What a beautiful bag! I especially love the embroidery/fabric combination.
Aloha!
Oh I love that little bag! I made one & gave it to my dear daughter.
I will take a guess at 300 fabrics.
Congratulations on your blog too, it is always enjoyable, & your work is beautiful.
first, happy 100th post! I just started blogging again, and hope to meet all kinds of people. That bag is beautiful, and while I am not a crafty person, I love visiting craft fairs as homemade stuff is just wonderful! I also love the photo of the kitties curled up in a ball on the quilt, I have 3 of them who share the bed as well-but don't leave me & hubby alot of room! As far as the different pieces of fabrics bonus question, I am going to say 73.
Oh my goodness what sweet little stitchery! Very sweet :)
And I am rather impressed with your 3D hexes... I may just have to see if I can drive myself mad with those too. I have to admit, my first thought when I see those is- Why would someone make hexes more complicated?!?! LOL
Congrats Andrea on reaching 100th post.
The bag is fabulous.
I reckon that you have used around 200 pieces of fabric. Wild guess...
Hello there, I just came across your lovely blog whilst hunting through the UK bloggers on Quilting Bloggers, looking for someone who lives near me. Sadly, you don't. Well done on getting to 100 - I'm on my way, just over 50 now. I would so love to win the bag, it's gorgeous. I really like your hexagons too, what a clever idea. Let's make a guess at 460.
Congratulations on 100 posts! I'll guess low: 134 pieces of fabric.
Andrea - the bag is gorgeous I would love to be the recipient and the fat quarters - as for the number of fabrics I'll give it my best shot at 617 - how's that for a random number?
congrats on 100 posts!!!!
beautiful bag, are you really sure you want to give it away!
oh how many fabrics I just have to guess...688
Congratulations on 100 posts.. Calidore sent me over, I am loving those 3D hexagon blocks.. hmmm how many bits have you cut?? I am thinking 401 cut out thus far!
Lissa
Such a gorgeous bag.
Happy Centenary.
WOW What a yummy bag........
'I should be so lucky...'
forgotten the tune.
Oh boy I am going to have to do a make up....I am only now finding out about this 100 post deal....
My guess for the mystery amount is 864pieces...and the result will reveal with I am not a maths major.
Congrats on your blog...I did a happy dance the night I found it..
Well dones on your 100th post. What a beautiful bag, it sure would look good in my home, lol.

Now for my guess...419 pieces.
what a beautiful bag and how generous of you to off it as a gift to some lucky person.

Robin in VA
Congrats on the 100! I am with you, starting a crafty blog has brought me more joy and blessings than I could have ever imagined!
Your 3-d hexes are stunning. So delicate and precise. I found my way here from Catherine's blog. You do such beautiful work.
It is hard for me to imagine having so many different fabrics, but I am sure it will all make sense in a few years if I keep accumulating at the same pace. I am going to hazard a guess of 420 for the hexes. Since it is my birthday, maybe I will get lucky. Thanks for sharing this beautiful project with us. Love Stacy
Congratulations on your 100th post.
I love the Sewing Bag and if I don't win, would you consider selling me a bag? I looked to see if you have an Etsy shop, but I didn't see a link. I go to a sewing circle every Saturday morning and I use a paper bag to carry my supplies.
I think there is 800 different fabrics in that quilt.
Congratulations on your 100th post! That is a lovely bag.
I just had to come and join in the fun.
I guess about 465 pieces.
Julia / Perth

I just love seeing what you will work on next, and you do such lovely work! I can't believe you get so much done, too. I'd get more done if I were sewing instead of reading about other people sewing some days :)
I tried to find a number nobody else had guessed for the counting question and I hope nobody else said 256 because that is what I'm going to claim as my guess. I love the charm quilts. You are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your milestone.
Tanya in Idaho
