Vintage chica’s rag rug is cute and fun - love the colours - and she has a tutorial too.

gorgeous bags from melly & me, they sell the patterns at various online and physical locations, check their site for the list. They also have an etsy store and a blog. They are currently running a scrap cabin quilt-a-thon - with directions on making your own scrap log cabin quilt.

Thank you to everyone for entering, sorry if your entry did not make it to the final eight. It was a tough decision, there were lots of great entries. And now I want to see which one YOU the readers like best, to that end I will be running three polls to see which banner is going to be the new WhipUp Banner.

The first poll was close and some people were confused about which banner they had voted for - please make sure you check before voting.

You will need to go the banner competition page to view the eight finalists.

The second poll is STYLE - please ensure that when voting you are thinking about WhipUp’s particular clean and simple style.
