It's been a long, long time since I promoted something that I would make money off of. Sure - I always promote Plan To Eat on Black Fridays - because it's an app I have used for 10+ years. I don't get anything from it if you do - but to be perfectly clear - if you sign up for Mochi and use my referral code - you will get $40 off AND I will get $40 off. Just wanted to be clear about that part.
Check it out if you want. Costs - they are upfront about their costs. While they do take insurance - mine wasn't approved (of course not - I only pay out the nose for insurance that doesn't cover anything)
I went with a 3 month membership ($199) plus the first months Compounded Tirzepatide ($199). Expensive - but so is my health. I figured it'll be about $800 for those first 3 months - cutting back on outside eating - that'll be covered. First Injection was today - sooooo simple and easy. I was so worried, put it off all weekend - but it was nothing. Starting weight today - 275.8. I'll be posting weekly at least - hopefully more often as I want to break my social media habit in 2025!!
I am so happy to have something to share this week. About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times . I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion . I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile. What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks. Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?
Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt. I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these. Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color. Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border .... eit...
A few weeks ago, Judy from Patchwork Times told her readers that there is NO EXCUSE not to learn how to make socks - with You Tube and the internet, it's almost like having someone sitting next to you teaching you. I've tried socks before - no luck. Maybe because I started with sock weight yarn, and it was too fine for my extra large hands? Either way, my daughter asked me for a pair of warm sock slippers. Why not? Should be easy. I checked what I hand I on hand, found a pattern that seemed doable, and made these - Now of course, pinks/blues are definately not her colors, so after proving to myself that I could do it, I bought a more "her" color (as close to black as I could find) and whipped up these, in just two nights ! So, don't ever give up - cause if I can figure it out, anyone can ! Next week - back to quilting ! To see what others are working on, check out Judy's blog at Patchwork Times !
