Welcome to Sew Red for Women's Block 3! Sew Red for Women was created to raise awareness of Heart Disease among women by way of creativity and camaraderie within the modern sewing community.
From February 3rd, 2012 to January 3rd 2013, Sew Red for Women will feature an original quilt block designed especially for you by some of today's most inspiring designers & bloggers. A special link is provided to hop on over to the blogger's site for details and instructions for completing the featured block.
And without further ado, this month's block is brought to us by the talented Katie of Swim, Bike, Quilt.
Katie has been dazzling us with her modern take on quilting for awhile now, so I was super excited to have her join Sew Red For Women's Blog Hop.
And don't forget! April 4th is the American Heart Association's National Walking Day! It's time to bring the sneakers to work and get out there and walk during your lunch break!

ReplyDeleteI am already a follower of yours! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteRecently I have started to eat carrots when I get hungry after work, instead of grabbing chocolate or something else easy that is laying around. This is just as easy and (don't tell anyone) probably more fulfilling :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a blog but I am already a follower of this one. I'd love to see the email box to be notified when a new post is made here if that's possible though. I rarely go to my reader.
ReplyDeleteI eat tons of fruit or drink fruit juice often. Most of my snacks during the day are fruits if we have them in the house or veggies.
ReplyDeleteI have added your button with pride :)
ReplyDeleteI am a proud follower ;~)
ReplyDeleteAnd not only did I eat two oranges today and a bowl of peaches... I also Walked to work!! 3/4 mile! {{{BIG GRIN}}} Have a great day! Thanks for the personal challenge!!
ReplyDeleteYour button is on my sidebar. I wonder if you have the kit for this block at Burgandy Buttons or when it might be up?
ReplyDeleteI had been out of town and forgot to post the kit- but it's available at BB now!
DeleteWell I don't have a blog but I have told all my friends and family about your site and about the great fabric you sell! :) Two of my sisters, myself and my mother are doing the BOM together because I suggested we all do it together..its been fun so far!!
ReplyDeleteMy interenet blocker/guardian won't let me open the "follower" link but I "follow" you anyway since I am always checking your site and the Burgandy Buttons Blog and fabric site! :)
ReplyDeleteI ate raw veggies with my dinner tonight and starting April first I am back to walking 3 miles several times a week as well as cutting our dessert. :) It feels good!!!

I now have almonds as my mid afternoon snack. They are a great source of energy and don't have all the sugar from fruit which is definitely bad for menopausal women because sugar turns to fat and fat produces estrogen which is turns contributes to heart disease!

I am eating fruit for snack time since a few weeks. It is great!
ReplyDeleteI almost always eat a piece of fruit every day. I work in a school so the cafeteria always has fruit. It's good to make friends with the cafeteria ladies.
ReplyDeletethanks

With high blood pressure and heart disease running in my family, I try to watch my sodium intake. Since I became pregnant with my first child, over 30 years ago mind you, I have had problems with water retention, also a family trait. I have at the very least one serving of fruit every day.
