Productive Sewing Saturday!

I finally got the center together for My Blue/Purple Heaven!  It is 7x9.  I need to get borders on it next!  I am really happy with how it looks and Lexi loves it too!

 Kathy whipped up this little quilt for AZ Quilts for Kids.  She brought home a few kits again and this is the first.  Cannot go wrong with all that purple!
 I decided I should try to get back on doing a few Wild and Goosey blocks each month so that I can continue to make progress on that quilt.  I have tons of little scraps to choose from...the cut off parts from the lozenges fit many of these spots perfectly, so each month I am getting more colors to pic from!
 Yesterday we picked up the 35th Ave. Traditions BOM.  Last night while watching movies (Diary of Anne Frank--Kathy had never seen it! and some shipwreck documentaries) I cut and sewed my block.  Not much contrast in some of it, but it is what it is!
And to round out my productive sewing day I also made quite a few green lozenges.  I have lots more green to go!
Well, I have already biked for thirty minutes and am ready to get back to sewing.  This week I lost 2.8 pounds for a total of 30 lost!  Trying to take it day by day, lately it seems harder than it was!

Awesome job on the weight loss. I hit a point where I couldn't loose any more, but I keep working at it as well. I just love seeing all the progress you've been making on your quilts. I have way too many started projects I need to get a few finishes.

In June, I wrote an article for a new online CFS Magazine debut but somehow it did not make the debut. I am not sure if the editor plans to ...
