Is is time to eat yet?

Okay, so I'm one of those gagillion people who decided it was time to get my ever growing behind off the couch and lose some weight. Oh my lord... dieting is hard, especially after the gluttony of the holidays. A person can get used to eating a cookie every five minutes if you let yourself - and I did. So, now I'm on the Weight Watchers wagon for the second time in my life and I'm hoping it will serve me just as well this time - last time I lost 45 pounds! I'm setting my sights on 20 at the moment... root for me wontcha?

On the quilting front I have been a busy beaver. A deadline for Quilts and More is looming, next week in fact and I'm on the binding. Shwew! That's a close one eh? But it's almost done and then off to the post office for a speedy delivery.

Also, keep a look out for this month's issue of Fon's and Porter - I have TWO quilts featured in it this month and it's pretty darn exciting. One of them "Sweet Hearts" is already sold out of kits on their store which just feels like a big giant hug from the readers. Birds of a Feather is missing from their site, so maybe it's sold out too? Hmmm... a giant BEAR hug then!

Off to work I go and I'm making an effort to post more. Oh, and did I mention I'm famished?

Your quilt is darling! I love the colors and the texture it makes. I have a quilt "under review" at Fons and Porter. I hope they accept it but we'll see.

Lets not mention diets, please.

There is no place better than Spark People.com for help with a new/healthy lifestyle...I joined last Feb and have lost 32+ pounds...I've lost before but never with the confidence that I can stick with this way of life forever. Try it....Good luck Sharon J/ Fort Wayne IN

Your quilt is lovely!

Best of luck with the weight loss. I did Weight Watchers last year, and the first 3 weeks are the hardest. If you can conquer them, you can get through it. I'm rooting for you!

Sounds as if you're far too busy creating darling quilts to be eating!

If you had a deadline mid Jan... and I had a deadline for mid Jan... both for Q&M...

OMG... I'm so excited! I think we're finally going to share an issue together! It will be a very Brady issue indeed! Ha... I made this deadline with only a few days to spare.
