So - How do you like the new look?

-
Still experimenting - but I will try and get it all done before New Years.

I got out all my Fly Lady stuff from before. Not only will I be looking fine in 2009 - my house will too. Check out her site if you've never been - get your control journal ready to go !! You WILL get tons of emails - either just delete the ones you don't have time for, or get a digest version - but it will help get your home in order.

Also going back to Menu Plan Monday - if you've never heard about it - check it out. Working on next weeks menu's now.

Workout Journal - just going to make extra pages for my FlyLady control journal. So much out there - just find what works for you.

Girls did really well at the swim meet. None of the qualified for JO's yet - but there is still time. I am very proud of them all !!

What's cooking this a.m.? In my Zoji - I have bread baking, and it does smell good. If you've never made bread in a Zoji - poor you. I love mine. Almost my favorite kitchen appliance (that award would go to my Kitchen Aid mixer which is easily over a decade old and still going strong).

OK - off to clear the desk of paperwork, have another cup of coffee, and get ready for my day.

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Design Floor Monday

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit
