Where did January go?

It seems like I'd just started on my little batik project, and then all the announcements hit:  FIVE babies due this spring/summer and two weddings! Rather than spring into action, I think I was numbed at the prospect of all that sewing and spent the month in denial.

It's going to be a busy few months! I have a couple projects in the planning stages, one with fabric purchased and one in progress, but encountered a snag with it this weekend:  I didn't have enough coordinating prints for the tarragon Kona. But instead of going out to buy more fabric (because I really, truly do not need any more fabric in my house), I got out the PaintStiks and stencils and made some.

Cute, huh? I kind of wish I'd done these for the whole quilt!
