Zippity - Do - Da......

The girls are back in school (wah!!!) and I am back in a regular routine.....I love it....no spontaniety for me....just give me the mundane....
Today I started a short-term project....with some fabulous fabrics from Sew To Speak...

I enjoy having a couple of projects going at once...a long term and a short term...usually if I have hand quilting to do....that is, evening-by-the-TV sort of work.... 
My long term is, of course, the Gypsy Kisses...and my short term is a new/old pattern....

I will only give a hint for now...it really should not take long to piece together...

So what is your first new project for the new year????
Happy Sewing!!!

    First project for 2011 is to finish my nieces quilt! No such cheer for me though I have to go back to work tomorrow. I really like the red birdy/acorn/flower fabric!

    I am swooning over your choice of fabrics! :o) So cute! I also create like you do, I have a little scrappy project going on in the background, while I wait for the perle 8 that I ordered. :o) So far, my first project completed in 2011 is the table runner I posted. :o)
    Have a super week!!
    Sincerely, Trish
    Ps. My husband and I always say, "we love our boring life!" :o)

    Hi Mary,
    First project for 2011 is to clean the sewing room, NO fun but needs to be done. 3 baby quilts for my nieces' triplets, 2 Christmas quilts for my 2 youngest,(did not get finished on time) and then some fun sewing a red/white dresden plate.
