Double Celebrations!

Today is my 1st blogaversary! I know, shocking isn't it, that I only started blogging 1 year ago. To every one of you, who have shared my random ramblings, thank you for coming back, leaving your comments of encouragement, I really do appreciate them. It's so nice to know we are on this journey together.



This sort of crept up on me, I haven't had a chance to prepare, forgive me, I will sort myself out for a Giveaway soon!



Secondly, and this is what I was going to blog about, I have completed my January UFO Challenge! Now that is cause for celebration! So today, Angela, Tina and I celebrated with home made cake!

So this is Boston Detour, made with the left overs from The Boston Quilt. A detour from the original pattern. A detour with the yellow fabric, this is more a cream with a distinct lemon tinge. And a detour from the pattern in the book, I managed to sew half the blocks the wrong way round. Fortunately, I happened to be on a quilting retreat at the time, so a friend, Joan came up with a cunning plan for a design opportunity. Didn't she do well!

I got this quilted just after Christmas (along with two others I might add!) It's such a satisfying feeling to complete a UFO, don't you think. Thanks Nancy for keeping us all focused!

Happy Quilting!
