Hi, hopping everyone had a great New Year.

I am hopping that I will get some things accomplished in 2016.

Starting with hand quilting a baby quilt for Joshua, who was born 12/22/2015. It is taking me a while as I did not realize that the fabric in the kit is flannel. Having a hard time as it keeps moving around on me. Well basted. I have to take out the basting thread, where I am quilting on a hoop. Was going to machine quilt it, but the fabric keep moving all over the place expect where it was to stay.

Margarita

Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	Happy New Year everybody! I wish you all good health and happiness! I'm still struggling with the re-vamped forum and site. It seems to take longer to do things, and having very little spare time, I often don't even try. But I'm alive and kicking, and very busy. Norma, I'll be at FoQ again this year.

Wendy,
This is my time to reduce also. I read recently that when we give ourselves a whole year to take off X number of pounds, we usually start strong then fizzle until Sept or so, then we get all in a tither about it. Her suggestion was to chose a reasonable amount for a twelve week stint of focus. Then you give yourself a week to relax, just a bit, before your next 12 week go. She suggested writing something down for every day of your 12 weeks that will have a positive impact on your goal. I've written down my first 12 weeks in my planner. I'll keep you posted on how it's working for me.
Best to everyone trying to do this sort of thing.
