Clean Slate

 I completely cleaned off and then just cleaned the design wall so I can start with all new projects.

 I found this fun paint brush fabric;  it is vintage as the width is only 34'.  

The fat quarter pack on the right will go with this and I have to add an orange!

And here is another idea from several years ago;

I taped the pattern together and now I have an idea of the size of the background fabric

I will need for this fun quilt.

Then I dug this out of the pile so that this might be the year I make it!

I know the background fabric I had purchased has gone into 

another quilt so I will need to purchase more. 

In the meantime, I will be collecting scraps--

First, I have to decide what color families I want in my quilt, though!

Florida Breeze Shop Hop Day Two

 What a sight this morning--

such a bright and cheery centerpiece for breakfast!

(a surprise bouquet from my daughter!)

The conclusion of the shop hop and the charm packs;

I have enough charms to make two lap quilts.

You will see the blocks up on the design wall very quickly!

But first--
I need to finish the top for the owl quilt and decide how I will be quilting it
I want to machine embroider the new pillow for March
I need to finish the birds wall hanging on the frame
I want to catch up on the machine knitting course
I need to knit the thumb on the Nordic mitten
I want to machine knit the next baby sweater
I need to add the border to the Summer Blooms quilt and put it in the quilting queue!

I'm pretty sure I can get  all most of these things done today!
