  1. Release Marine Bear - Sample block made
  2. Release Coast Guard Bear - Sample block made
  3. Release Air Force Bear - Sample block made
  4. Release Setting
  5. Decide on next BOM Theme
Quilts to Sell - 

Realistically go through my quilts and think about whether I really want them or have a place to use them and sell the ones that I don't.


So enough to keep me busy this year, and no, that first list won't come anywhere near finishing all of my UFO's, but it's a start.  =)  And i'm sure that I'll add to it since I can't stop designing ideas.

Gratitudes:
1. Being able to shop my stash when I need a new project

2. For the knowledge that even when things that are unfair happen, God is still in control of all.
