Joy in the New Year Winners

An amazing number of finishes folks...there are some totally empty closets and lots of us made a good dent in our projects. That's a nice way to start a new year.

In case you're interested, here's how I did this. I went through the comments and recorded your entries. If you finished all you declared you received double entries. If you had 5 finishes, you were assigned 5 numbers. For example, you might have been 300-304. I assigned the prizes in the order they were listed on yesterday's post.

Here are the winners and their comments. If you're a winner drop me an email. I'll try to get everyone contacted by the end of the day, but that would sure save me some time. Then I'll get you matched up with your prize!

Thanks for be a part of the challenge!

160 wins the quilt - Tami @ Lemon Tree Tales

'Happy New Year!! Well, I said that I had 10 UFO's to complete and ended up only finishing 2. I was sewing until 10:30 p.m. last night, but the vest for the doll just needed too much alteration to fit. (It's a patchwork one too!) It wasn't a failure though because this really inspired me to make a list and work hard on those UFO's. I wouldn't be this close to completing my Miss Molly cloth doll if it weren't for your challenge. Thanks!

'Hello Jacquie. Happy New Year! I said I had 3 quilting UFO's and 3 knitting UFO's to finish. Well, I finished only one of the quilts, but all three of the knitting projects. Unfortunately, I kept starting new projects (and finishing them) and my poor quilts languished in the to do pile.'

373 wins a $20 gift certificate from Pink Chalk Fabrics - rachel

'Well, I am quite happy with myself, and grateful to you for this challenge! I had 12 on my list. I had completed 10 by the deadline. I am happy to report that my actual list of completed items/projects for the time period of the challenge is 18, which means (to me) that while the list was not complete, I was highly motivated and able to produce without an real major changes...Therefore, I am thinking of adding to the challenge (for myself) and keeping the list on a personal level for every month this year. Just a thought so far...

At any rate, thank you SO much for hosting this event. I enjoyed it, and I enjoy reading your blog on a regular basis!
