Happy Valentines Day!!! It has been a week or so since I posted my last block in this Weight Loss series and all this time I have been thinking about doing a block that involved chocolate!!!

Playing With Crumbs
This is my crumb basket, the last resting place for all those little bits of fabric that I just can't bear to throw away! I'm not sure it is actually possible to completely empty a crumb basket because there is ALWAYS something being tossed into it! But I try. I really do. Sometimes I'll spend DAYS just… Continue reading Playing With Crumbs
Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #6 – “Even Steven”
Hey Everyone! Yesterday was weigh in day and just as I'd feared this day would come, I'm even for the week. So in honor of being even my next block in this journey is "Even Steven" (faint reference to Seinfeld for those of you interested in the humor here). The block is rather a boring… Continue reading Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #6 – “Even Steven”
Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #5 – “January Thaw!”
Hi Friends! For the next block in this series I've chosen to do a block that will mark off the passing of time.

Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #3 – “Meetings”!
Hi Friends! The next block on this journey is "Meetings"! I made "Meetings" in the last couple of days after a long search to find a traditional pattern that would represent chairs or a group of people together but I did not have much luck...so "Meetings" was born out of necessity! The block represents the chairs… Continue reading Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #3 – “Meetings”!

Stringing continues…
Hi Friends Again! Not to be outdone by my little 5 pound, 5 star block I made yesterday I also wanted to show you the progress of my string piano key border for this string quilt.

Maybe THIS Year will be THE Year?
Hi Friends! Just maybe, just maybe this will be THE year that I am able to lose some weight. I guess I'll have to divulge this information eventually but I decided after many years of trying one type of diet after another I would wait a few weeks, you know, in case I didn't go ahead… Continue reading Maybe THIS Year will be THE Year?
Stringing Into a Flimsy!
Hi Friends! I have been stringing pieces together all week and have barely even put a dent into my string bin! BUT I did finish a little top ready to be quilted! This top measures about 45" x 45", just about right for a lap quilt. I had all this GREEN fabric in the bottom… Continue reading Stringing Into a Flimsy!
