UFO DAY ON THE PP FORUM

I set up a UFO club on the PP forum and asked that everyone in it used TODAY as a UFO only day. Lots of the ladies complied, some are doing other days, which is fine, the only way to get those UFO's done is for me to nag nag nag nag, and believe me..................I do!!!!! hahahahaha

Well as I said they managed to get quite a few UFO's cleared so that has given me great hopes for beating last years total, which was 53 finished I believe. I am aiming a lot higher for this years number of ZAPPED UFO's.

I got in my sewing room quite late this afternoon but managed to clear three UFO's from my basket, wahey, also got some quilts ready for quilting, and some backings cut for others, along with the wadding, so I was really pleased with myself, imagine if I had been in there all day!!!!

Pictures tomorrow cos we use those EARTH SAVING light bulbs our Government makes us use, and they turn everything yellow in a photograph. Thanks Gov. NOT.

THE POST MADE IT

Now that Angela has received her gift from me, I can show you what I sent her. Because she has sent me some amazing gifts I had to make something special and 'different' for her. So I designed two different things for her to have. Hopefully she can make use of both. They were fun to make....

They went into this old box I found,

 for posting so they didn't get damaged...

First I made a little envelope style purse,

this is it closed, front view...

back view...

open view...

then I made a box from fabric postcards for Angela to store

her fabric postcards, this is the front...

all Batiks as I know Angela loves them

side...

back...

other side...

top view...

inside view...

Also, I enclosed her Postcard for January,

if you remember we had snow snow and yet more snow;

so I did a tongue in cheek card...

Hope you can see the writing...

Glad it arrived for you Angela, thanks for letting me know...

Enjoy

ONE WORLD ONE HEART - GIVE AWAY - I am No.604

Hi Everyone,

It is time for ONE WORLD ONE HEART, time for your ride on their Magic Carpet. Time for you to surf from Blog to Blog to see what is on offer this year and, on the journey, make new friends.

25th January was the day I was supposed to put up what I am offering but Blogger was playing silly wotsits so I gave up, hence I am a few days late!! So without further ado I will tell you what I am offering, if you go back a few posts you will see I have a long list of UFO's in a basket. I am offering for this Magic Carpet Ride, the very first item. It is a very bright lap quilt,

I WILL FINISH THIS ready for the person who wins. The size I cannot tell yet as it is unfinished, suffice to say it will be plenty big enough to cover your legs as you are sitting down, or to take yet another magic ride....

If you click on the picture, either here or at the right hand side logo..............................

.....................................................you will be taken to the site where you will discover lots more people taking part. So do remember to visit them all and decide what it is you would like to own.

You must leave a message at the bottom of THIS POST if you wish to win my offering, that's it folks, just a message, none of this malarky where you have to stand on your head trying to work out what it is you have to do...easy peasy eh?

This ENDS 15 FEBRUARY 2010

So there we are folks, don't forget to leave me a comment here, stating you would like to be entered for this and of course leave me some form of contact details, You have to have a BLOG for this apparently, so do leave a link for that if you wish, others will then be able to get to visit you, I know I would.

Wherever you are in the World you are allowed to enter this of course, but do be prepared to pay your countries Taxes if they zap you with them!!  I have no control over Tax.

Let's go ride that Magic Carpet.

Good luck to you all,

Jan

THANK YOU ANGELA - - AND MORE

Angela, my friend from the PP Forum and I are privately exchanging Postcards. This year we are doing one per month - so far - and it is to be what we feel the month is to us. Angela has sent me January and February as she is on a roll and got them both done. I love them, aren't they super, they are in the guise of The Edwardian Lady, I cant wait to have the whole year as I have a plan for these little beauties.....Many thanks Ange xx

I have done my January one for he but of course I cant put it here until she has received it can I?

BUT

It is going in this -

along with something else....

Meantime, I can show this,

I have finally sewn the label on the back of my Ice Cream Quilt from the PP Forum,

 I made up a silly little poem for it...
