Groundhog month

I've been looking over my January 2009 posts and am surprised to say how little has changed - snow on the ground, grandchildren going home after New Year, sorting out my sewing room, first Quay Quilters' meeting of the New Year and making the blocks for the Autumn quilt that I am currently handquilting! Oh and my Silent Stars quilt being put away on Twelfth Night and being replaced by the Millennium quilt.
For a photo here is the bag pattern I won in one of those magazine Giveaways - I don't know which magazine even as it arrived without comment but timely as I intend to make bags for the Oast Showcase tombola in May this year.
