Note to Lynne: I just made the center of the Carpenter Star quilt. 2 hours from the time I started drawing lines to the final pressing and slapping it on the wall, and I'm not overly fast squaring up the HSTs, etc. It's the hardest 25% of the quilt although two colors are much easier than eight.
Note to Missy: the HSTs were easy. If you draw straight and sew straight, they come out fine.
My weight was down a few ounces today. Yippee. BTW, there is a 17 day diet in the First Magazine. I'm guessing it's a simplified version of the book. I didn't read it carefully yet but I will when I get tired of sewing. Right now watching the Tigers is too aggravating to read anything.
It's in the high 40s with 30 mph winds. It was little like walking in a wind tunnel on the East/West streets. The lake was anything but calm. Brrrr.
I want a cookie. If I bake some, will I eat just one? Nah, so forget it and go back to the birthday quilt. My son looked longingly at his sister's CS when he was here while it was on the wall. He never asks for anything, but I can read him like a book. His quilt is wildlife panels, but needs some fillers so he got his star. When he was young I had to force him to buy new shoes. We did not have a cash flow problem then, but he just wasn't comfortable with money spent on him. So independent and considerate.
I am losing weight and getting healthier.
