A New Beginning

Well, here it is April 4,2010 and I haven't blog in forever. Since this is Easter and a time for rebirth and new beginnings I decided it was time to start blogging again. I would love to say that all those projects I showed are done, but alas they are not. I will post pictures later of the progress on the projects. What I have decided to do is post my goals for the coming week. Just small ones. I've seen a few bloggers who do it month by month, but I hope by doing it in small increments I'll be more motivated. I've started a few new projects- which I'll show over the coming months.
Goals for this week:
Mostly I'll concentrate on a new project. It is from Crabapple Hill and is called "256 Pieces of the Past". I am doing this with a group from Plain and Simple Quilt Shop. We have met a couple of times and I have yet to start it. I have the fabrics and other supplies. I just need to start.
So for this week I want to cut out the blocks and trace one of the plates, color it and start the embroidery. Also I want to start the crazy quilt blocks. I bought machine embroidery designs that I plan on using in the middle of the blocks.
On the cross stitch front I hope to do a couple of hours on "The Quiltmaker".

Happy Easter,
Shirley
