And the winner is

I'm really sorry for the delay in announcing the winner of my birthday give away of the cat fabric but this week has been really hectic.

 I'm not sure where the time has gone but it has now been over a week since I did any sewing and I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms!

Anyway the winner was comment number 53 from Catskill Quilter. I have emailed to get her mailing address and the fabric will soon be on its way.

The comment that won was telling me she is a follower but her reason for liking cats is

"I love them because they are fascinating and somewhat aloof -- so when they choose you to be their Human, it is an enormous compliment! My first cat was born at almost the same time as me, at my grandmother's house, and when I was a year old he came to live with me. It has been cats ever since! I would be utterly lost without a cat! "

Your reasons for liking cats were interesting and varied and they really do seem to be the purrfect companion to any quilter. I enjoyed reading all your comments. I am sorry if I didn't reply to you but I seemed to disappear under a mountain of emails once Quilting Gallery's blog hop began. 

I'm now going to decorate the Christmas tree and work out what presents I still need to buy or make before getting down to some sewing. Oh and I need to work out some plans for projects for 2013 to link with Barbara's NewFo 2013 Challenge. For more information you need to visit Cat Patches.
