When we got home I got right to sewing and made this little teapot. I had a free pattern and thought it was paper piecing but wasn't numbered...when I actually looked at the tutorial I discovered it wasn't! So I did some creative folding and tucking to make it sort of work. I realized by then I should have used a dark background or a smaller print for my teapot so it would be easier to see. It was fun to make anyway and it is hanging on my bulletin board, lol.
I then found some actual paper piecing and made this tiny pineapple block--for no particular reason.
Next I paper pieced four flying geese sections (pattern was from Angela for Hawaii Sunset geese, but at the time I didn't know how to paper piece so I kept it for future use!). Can't show pics of that project just yet, but they will be coming soon :)
Paper pieced another Wild and Goosey block. Finally starting to seem like a decent amount on the design wall! It is all Bonnie Hunter of quiltville on my wall!
Then I traced out stitched up this freebie from Sublime Stitching for my nephew Ben. It went really quickly!
So far today watching the Packers. I did bike while they were on and realized that I haven't updated my trying to eat right and more more in a long time! I am still trying to do that and I have lost 32 pounds since I started June 1st of this year. I have a long way to go but they say slow and steady wins the race...:)

32 pounds is very impressive. Well done you!
Congrats on the weight loss. I've lost 13 since Aug. 2 and still working on it. Slow and steady.
