Happy Sunday everyone, I am not making excuses for not posting last week yet wanted you all to know I had some kind of a bug that was going around and felt really ill.
This past week my vitals(as I call them) was as follows


VITALS -  FASTING and NON-FASTING

Steps 741 I slept most of the day.

As you can see from my steps above I lead a VERY sedentary life.  I need to find more ways to find movement in my life.

I can't believe I am actually telling my weight on here for everyone to see but there it is.  I want to let you all know if there is anyone reading this, of a couple of youtube channels to help me stay motivated.  The first one is Paul Reads Books and the second is Book Babe 88 , they both have other content on their chanels but I check in to see where they are in their journeys to become healthier.

Stick with me and I will do my best to check in every Sunday.  Want to know more about me and what I am doing please ask me below in the comments.

En Provence - Clue 6

YES . . . another clue, wondering how many clues there will be before we get to see what the quilt will look like when done. Had a chance to play with the greens so yellow should be next. 

En Provence - Clue 5

The 5th clue arrived Thursday night as a special gift for us and still it was Saturday before I began working on mine.  As we needed only 64 pieces it didn't take long before I finished them and could turn my attention to the Holiday ahead.

My Christmas gift

En Provence clue 4

I have discovered that Thursday is now the longest day of the week . . .it never seems to end. FINALLY . . . Friday has reared it's head and now I can get my next clue for En Provence . . .Yeah!
Looking forward to today's clue so I can make my way one step closer to having a completed quilt.

For my neutrals in this block I picked fabrics that represented spring and winter.

For pictures of this clue, other than mine, you can go here.  It is nice to know I am not the only person in the world sewing at any given time.

EN PROVENCE clue 3

Clue # 3 arrived and I couldn't wait to dig in and get it finished.  I can't believe how much I have accomplished by working only on weekends on this quilt.    Keep watching and before you know it I will have all the clues done and the quilt complete.  

Although this is my first mystery quilt it will not be my last.  I AM HOOKED . . . Thanks Bonnie K. Hunter for letting us sew with you.  Clue 3

Ignore the hanger, Twiggy has found she likes chewing on these as much as water bottles. LOL

CHRISTMAS 2016

Made a small quilted bag for the gift exchange with my quilting group.  It was a big hit and I was glad it was a desired gift.

Made this bag for Georgie, she saw mine and loved it, her favorite color is orange so both of our bags were made with one jelly roll.  The great part is the jelly roll was free from Piece of Mind Quilting Group.

This surprise gift is going to April Dawn...I know she will be surprised...hope she loves it.

Here is the Christmas pillow I made with scraps from my quilt group...

Thought I would add a picture of our fearless leader at Piece of Mind quilting group at GHS . . . Sammie Tate aka...Mrs. Clause.

En Provence clue 2

I was so busy sewing clue 2 that I forgot to post.  I finished this week's blocks by Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed myself.
  I placed the new blocks with the ones from last week to make stars. As of yet I do not know where each block will be placed but am happy with how well the colors work together.
