WW Meeting - 3/22

-
Good Morning Readers - WW meeting today started off with a smile - our old leader called about 15 minutes before the meeting was to start - it was great to talk to her, and be able to pass my phone around so that she could talk to some of the "oldies". She may be stopping by the end of April - hopefully she'll take over a meeting or two !!!

I feel back on track - I only had a small loss this week - but promised myself to stay on track - just this one week - to see what I can do. Sooooo - got the journal out - and since the kids have NO swimming this week - there is no excuses. Gotta treadmill at least 3 times, and eat healthy everyday !!

Some of the meals I'm having -

Tonight - Bison Steaks on the grill - 1 pt per ounce

Grilled taters - 3pts per serving

SAVORY GRILLED POTATOES IN FOIL

Prep 15 Min./Grill 30 Min.

1/2 c. Miracle Whip Salad Dressing
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. each: salt, pepper
3 baking potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 lg. onion, sliced

Mix together salad dressing and seasonings in large bowl until well blended. Stir in potatoes and onions to coat.
Divide potato mixture evenly among six 12 inch square pieces of heavy-duty foil. Seal each to form packet.

Place foil packets on grill over medium-hot coals (coals will have slight glow). Grill, covered, 25 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Makes 6 servings.

And - salads or a steamed veggie.

Will make the pineapple cake for dessert.

Tomorrow is turkey fillets on the grill - already marinating in a mango/apricot sauce - should be good with rice and salad.

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit...

  A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands?  Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can !  Next week - back to quilting !  To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
