Winter has finally arrived to central Florida this week with brisk cool mornings and chilly afternoons and today sunshine instead of those dismal gray clouds that have been hanging over us nearly all last week.
With the New Year in full swing I have a few new projects I am working on for the coming year, I joined an online quilt challenge, Project 48 Quilt and have made the first block for this mysterious quilt.
