Last Day of May

-
Went to WW this a.m. - The subject again was storyboarding - and what surprised me (well, not really) was that my backrow mate and I both started with the same word - Journaling. The first step in WW. Why don't I journal every bite? I used to. We were taught "if you bite it, write it" but somewhere along the way, I lost the habit.

Posting my storyboard this week next to my desk, at least I'll see it every day, and have no excuse NOT to journal.

If I just do one step each week - adding something new to the step before, I'll be back on track by mid-July - and I'll be where I want to be by the time we go visit our old WW leader down South - so, that's my goal.

Menu is made for most of the week -

Today we had waffles - higher in points - but since it's both breakfast and lunch, it's ok. Dinner tonight is turkey on the grill with mashi rice (white rice made with onions, cabbage, dill, cilantro, tomato paste - totally good for you) I'll make a cake with pumpkin again - kids like it last time. Or maybe I'll try brownies this time around !

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
