Lots of new things to share with you

I have a lot of new pictures and lots of items to share. However, Blogger is being obstinate so I'll start out with this post and add more later in the day so be sure to check back to see what I've got to share. The first thing I want to let you know about is that I am joining a patchwork challenge at   http://journeyofaquilter.blogspot.com/p/garden-party.html

We are making Grandmother's Flower Garden. The link on my sidebar isn't working but you can click on the link in this post if you want to join. I finished my first 'flower' this morning. I decided to try English paper piecing since it's portable and if I go out I can take it with me. I don't know how many of these I'm going to make because I don't know what I'm making out of them. I'm thinking maybe a tablecloth to spread on an  table by the garden when I go out in the morning to have  my coffee. Can you tell I'm hoping for spring?
