Are You Ready?

-
After some deep though yesterday - I realize that I'm stuck where I am weight wise, not because I don't know what to do, but there is something "inside" of me that is holding me back.

I've heard some great things about Bob Harper's new book (Biggest Looser) - so I bought a copy. Supposed to be very, very helpful, not only with workouts and food recommendations, but getting to the root of what keeps you doing what you've always done to get to where you are. Just by chance I was thinking about it over the weekend, then this a.m. when I was reading my email - I had one from the BL - promoting the book - must be fate.

I did pretty well over the weekend - need to get up and treadmill today - but will do so. Very yucky, rainy weather here - I wish spring would come back !!



One more day and my big man turns 5 - where does time go?

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?

Design Floor Monday

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
