Stool or side table from denim and 2 milk crates.

 

Chevron pattern for this denim and cotton quilt with some flannel.

Most of my current quilts measure 60" x 66" or some varient. In order to sell on Poshmark, I have to keep the weight to less than 5 pounds and that limits the size of the quilts.

 

Crazy Quilt made from recycled denim. No pattern, the quilt maker just went crazy with the fabric.

 

Made a couple of Boho style skirts from 100% cotton to sell on Poshmark

Skirts are simple gathered skirts with elastic waist bands. Can be worn on hips. 8" squares; cotton fabric.

 

Weight Loss Success: kept 73 pounds OFF for 4 l/2 years

I have my photo made every 6 months just to keep myself on track. 4 l/2 years ago I lost 73 pounds following the Ketogenic Food Plan/Low Carb High Fat. It was like a miracle for me. I work every day to keep the weight off. I can never eat sugar and stay at a stable, lower weight. Sugar is like poison for my body. 

 

More quilt making and a pillow cover.Windmill pattern

  Denim and bandana fabric; classic and pretty.
 

Denim Quilt Queen-size

Denim queen-size quilt I have been hired to make for a customer in Texas. I create the design using recycled denim from blue jeans, shirts, skirts, and dresses. It will be lined with a gray sheet. Sheets are great as backings as fabric does not come that width. 
 

For the last 4 and l/2 months I have learned how to keep weight off after losing 73 pounds from September 2015 until August 2016. I use the Ketogenic Food Plan, or Low Carb High Fat. I weaned myself off sugar and that made my appetite go way down and I eat mostly fatty meats, keep carbs 20 or under each day, and only eat when hungry and stop eating when my body feels full. I rarely exercise as I have a serious lung disorder caused from chemo. The dress is this photo is size 6. 

 

I've kept 73 pounds from weight loss off for 4 l/2 years. YAY

From size 16-18 to size 6-8 using the Low Carb High Fat plan known as Keto.

 

Two Denim Quilts ready to sell on Poshmark

Two denim quilts I made this week for the purpose of selling on Poshmark. I have sold 12 other quilts like these on the Poshmark Marketplace and think these will sell too.

The first one shown is 9 Patch pattern which is made by sewing 5 and 4 together. It looks like a checkerborad pattern, but is modified somewhat. The backing is made from random pieces of 100% cotton fabric. The quilt is about 66" x 62". 

Poshmark limits packages to 5 lbs, so that limits the size of quilts. 

This quilt is made using a Crazy Quilt pattern. The idea of a Crazy Quilt is taken from the fact that women would use whatever scraps they had leftover and had no pattern. They just went crazy with design. The backing for this quilt is a blue checkered which I purchased for $2 at a thrift store. That same piece of fabric would have been $12.99 a yard or over $25. Saving money is always great. 

 

I purchased this lap quilt at a local thrift store and have already sold it.

The pattern is Windmill.
