Mid-Week Update

Not much to report quilting-wise. I had off yesterday and did finish the three QOV blocks for the second top our group is working on. I also started sewing my Quilting Diva jelly roll into strip sets to make the Strawberry Jellies quilt. I'm embarrassed to say that I spent 20 minutes looking for the Strawberry Lemonade jelly roll that I never bought! (Another sign I need to stop buying!?!?) I had been looking for it, but none of the shops in my area had the jelly roll, only the charm pack (which I have 2 of). So I ended up buying the Quilting Diva jelly roll instead.

I also decided that I need to get back on my exercise and eating healthier routine. So yesterday I walked one mile. (That's why I now have a weight loss tracker on my sidebar.) I had lost 12 lbs. last year but then gained it all back over the long winter. I'm sure the fact that I had a dr. appt yesterday had nothing to do with me getting deciding to get back on track either. ;0) I'm pre-diabetic so that makes it all the more important for me to lose some weight too. Next week I have to give them blood to do another diabetic test and they're going to do some other tests for some other issues as well. With working long hours for that project all last month, I'm not holding my breath that the test results will be good. But it is what it is and we'll get the results and go from there. I know I need to work on some stuff, and that's the first step.

The goal for the rest of the week is to get my Quilting Diva strips all sewn together and start cutting. I also would like to start on the pineapple blocks for Peg & Kathy which aren't due for a while, but why procrastinate?!?!

Happy hump day! We're halfway to the weekend!
