Hi Everyone! We received some snow yesterday, just a few inches, and I think the plows were ready for it because when it was time to go to work the streets were clear!! If there is one positive thing to say about living in Chicago (suburbs) this has to be it. We have one of the… Continue reading Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #8 – “The Next 5 Pounds”
Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #7 – “Must Love Chocolate!”
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!!! Isn't chocolate something that we just crave on a diet? I know for me it has been, even though… Continue reading Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #7 – “Must Love Chocolate!”
Building a Quilt Design Wall – Part 1
I've seen them out there, rather elusive, in their exposure on blogs or quilt websites. Usually they're hidden behind the cropping of the photograph but I know there must be a way to have one too, the Quilt Design Wall that is! But I don't want one that is a permanent fixture, I just don't… Continue reading Building a Quilt Design Wall – Part 1
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

Hey Everyone! Yesterday was weigh in day and just as I'd feared this day would come, I'm even for the week.

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. "January Thaw!" is a traditional block pattern that has just the appropriate name considering it is supposed to be 60 degrees today!!!

What ‘Diet’ Food Looks Like — What’s For Breakfast? Strawberry and Banana Crepes!
Hi Everyone, I'm sure some of you are interested in what I've been eating on this new Weight Watchers Points Plus program. I've been asked more than a few times in the last week about what you can and cannot eat on the program. The answer to that, about what you can and cannot eat,… Continue reading What ‘Diet’ Food Looks Like — What’s For Breakfast? Strawberry and Banana Crepes!
Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #4 – “Points!”
Hi Friends! It's time for another installment of my Weight Loss Journey Quilt project! Today is weigh in day and I'm still losing!!! I'm actually quite stunned this whole point counting thing works! Really, I'm just at a loss for words.... So since this whole point counting is my inspiration I've interpreted that routine in this next… Continue reading Weight Loss Journey Quilt Project – Block #4 – “Points!”
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”!
