Picture Patchwork - 15 Charted Patterns for Novelty Quilts

Jo Ann Lepore

Summary

Quilters are forever looking for dynamic designs, especially ones that are both simple and eye-catching. All 15 featured Picture Patchwork designs can be made with simple squares -- the most basic shape of all, but the author has added some additional touches (optional) with the nine-patch, half-squares, and sawtooth, plus a few appliqué flourishes. In creating these novelty quilts, Jo Ann took her inspiration from cross-stitch graphs using a pixelated approach, which follows charts for color and placement. These are ideal for using pre-cuts (charms and mini-charms) as well as stash fabrics, and nothing will keep quilters of all skill levels from tackling any of the designs. They can even sprinkle in some of their own creativity if desired. Depending on the fabric a quilter chooses these charted designs can take on a modern spin or be utterly traditional. Picture Patchwork will have you looking at the endless supply of cross-stitch grids through a quilter's eye and serves as a self-purchase or gift title for all levels of quilting enthusiasts.

Quit Sports Betting Hypnosis -...

Adrian Berry

It probably took you longer than you would like to admit to actually press play on something like this.
Because admitting you needed it required admitting something else first. That this thing you started doing for fun, the small wagers on Sunday games, the parlay you put together with friends during March Madness, the live bet you placed in the second half because you had a feeling, stopped being for fun a while ago.
You are not entirely sure when. You just know that the games stopped being something you watched and became something you needed to watch. The notifications stopped being exciting and became something your hands moved toward before your mind had a chance to choose.
Hear me clearly.
You are not a bad man. You are not weak. You are not alone.
You are part of a generation of men who got caught in something that did not exist this way years ago. A trap that lives in the same phone you check a hundred times a day. A trap dressed up as fandom. A trap with the marketing budget of a small country.
You did not lose to weakness. You lost to an industry built by behavioral scientists to keep you locked in a cycle of anticipation, reward, and chase. Live betting eliminated the cooling-off period that kept gambling slower in earlier generations. Now there is no pause. No drive to a casino. Just the thumb and the screen and the next thing to wager on.
That is not a fair fight against willpower. But there is a fight that can be won, and it is at the level beneath.
For the next four hours, you will not be lectured. You will not be shamed. You will be guided gently into the deeply relaxed state where your subconscious opens, and carefully crafted affirmations will begin to do quiet, powerful work.
One day, sooner than you expect, a Sunday will come. The games will be on. Your friends will be in the group chat. And you will simply be watching the game. The way it was before. The simple thing. The thing that did not require a single bet to be enjoyable.
