I would suggest batiks and black/white for future months.
This is my first day to not see Allie. I am having withdrawal. LOL The other grandparents are here for the weekend so I don't feel I should go over there.
I am also doing the new mystery quilt. My first priority right now has to be my Ireland quilt. What I really want to work on is a baby quilt for Allie.

Oh Cindy those fabrics are beautiful. I had better behave myself. I love them all. I think I need them. I am trying not to buy fabric this year. Trying to use up some of my out of control stash. I have used up quite a bit of the fabric that just isn't my style on the last Mystery train ride and I started a chemo quilt for a friend last night. I am doing a quick pattern I found on Pintrest. Most of it is up on my new design wall now.
I have a lot of fall colors which she loves. I had to really dig thru the mess to find some light colors to complete it. I have made several quilts totally from my stash:-)

Teriffic Tuesday --- read a neat sidebar article in a Dec/Jan Arthritis Healthg Monitor magazine during a recent doctor's visit - good info -
Head off weight gain
*Trick yourself into eating light. ...wear fitted clothes instead of baggy sweaters, having that snug layer close to my body reminds me not to overindulge.
*Have a 'food exit' stragety. If you find yourself overeating at a party, get away from the food by taking a tour of the house. Ask to see the upstairs, the basement, whatever it takes.
*Sneak in exercise. If you know you'll be skipping a workout, find little ways to inject aerobic exercise and stretching into the day. Take the stairs, park far from the entrance and it'll make a huge difference.
Stay healthy everyone!

The pattern is on www.ricochetandaway.blogspot.com Go under tutorials and scroll down to Beyond HST. That is the pattern. You sew 2 squares together, right side together with a 1/4" seam around all 4 sides. You cut them both directions from corner to corner. The you recut them. There are 5 different ways to put them together. I started with 6 1/2 inch squares and my final block will be about 8 inches. I haven't decided what configuration to use yet. It goes really fast. I just cut a bunch of squares and started sewing. Hope this makes sense.

i'm lurking. haven't been around here for a while. been busy. had the grdsn all last week. he was home from daycare/preschool because he was sick. evenings and weekends, i have been working hard on my 2nd jane. 2 more kites to attach, and it can go into the quilting frame to be done slowly.
i gained towards the end of xmas season, and just can't get back on track, or leave the crap alone. going to try to start using tic tacs to keep my mouth busy. i know i have some around, just have to find them. might be in the motr home. keep on keeping on ladies. you give me motivation.
