These new projects are my inspiration to have the website switch done by the end of this weekend.

Now, on to projects. I have all the fabrics ready for the Eclipse quilt! The goal is to get it cut out by the end of July so it can be my project for Maine.

In case you are wondering, this painting is the inspiration for the guest room and the colors for the Eclipse quilt.

The room is mostly ready. The bed is all set up and I had one side table. I got this little solid cherry table this past weekend at an auction….for $26!
I still need a bench or something for people to put their luggage on and I’ll keep an eye on auctions. Something will come up eventually.

These are the reject fabrics. They will work great in future veterans quilts paired with some patriotic batiks.

Another future project is a garment! A friend gave me this embroidered linen and I immediately thought about a jacket. The pattern came in yesterday. I’ve pre-washed the fabric. It’s ready to go but I’m going to make it from some other fabric first for fit. It will be something that can be worn but, if it turns out bad, I’ll be happy to toss it too.
I’m looking forward to making a garment again.
