Many thanks to all who took part in our pennants extravaganza, either making or winning or buying a ticket and not winning. The total for four days was £5,364.83, but that’s only the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning. We had such a wonderful response, that we still have pennants whic may appear in a raffle (or tombola) near you. The above totoal will increaseover the next few weeks- keep checking. Here’s an increase, Jane Steward, Marilyn Lovett, Vivien Finch and friends had a pennants sale over the last weekend at Hever and made an amazing £1443.61. So the total to date is £6808.44. Thank you to you all, sellers and purchasers. Perhaps we can get to £7,000 Please send in pictures of winning pennants in situ, we’d love to know that they’re in good homes. Thanks to everyone, Judith
2010 in review
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:
The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.
Crunchy numbers
About 3 million people visit the Taj Mahal every year. This blog was viewed about 31,000 times in 2010. If it were the Taj Mahal, it would take about 4 days for that many people to see it.
In 2010, there were 1962 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 2003 posts.
The busiest day of the year was July 5th with 256 views. The most popular post that day was Templates (Patterns).
Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were quiltersguild.org.uk, lindakemshall.com, quiltingonline.co.uk, search.virginmedia.com, and mail.yahoo.com.
Some visitors came searching, mostly for pennants for patchworkers, pennants4patchworkers, http://www.pennants4patchworkers.wordpress.com, pennants4patchworkers.wordpress.com, and pennants4patchworkers.wordpress.com/.

Final Totals
It’s now November 2010, and we have finally reached our target of £7,000. Many thanks to all involved including our President and Trustees. To everyone who made, bought, or manned our stand, thank you. And the bonus was to meet lovely people who enjoyed our quirky brand of humour. Watch out for the next fundraiser which is being organised by the Traditional Group. Judith
