Get Heart Healthy
Did you know that heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States? Heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined (including breast cancer!).
i want to be around for my kids and grandkids and i make sure that i get exercise and moderate my chocolate and salt intake. :) the chocolate is a little harder but i try.
This beautiful follow-up to Knit Red
features stunning designs from more than 25 top sewing and quilting celebrities, along with three 28 x 40 black-and-white pattern sheets. But this is more than a book of breathtaking projects: it's part of Stitch Red, a campaign started by Jimmy Beans Wool founder Laura Zander to educate women about heart disease and help them take charge of their heart health. Each showcased designer—including Amy Butler, Denyse Schmidt, Anna Maria Horner, Ty Pennington, and Kaffe Fassett—shares his or her experience with heart disease and offers tips for staying healthy.i made a baby quilt for the book, and i am very honored to have been asked to do this book :) and to be included with an amazing group of people.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 220 of 220I am someone knows what it is like to have heart disease in the family. I am, so careful of what I eat, making sure I exercise, going to the doctors.
I need to make more time to exercise! I eat well but dont exercise much! thank you!
I have changed things a little since my hubby's heart bypass surgery this summer. I know that increasing my exercise would be the best next step to take.
I'm eating more fruits to reduce the amount of cookies I bake and eat. cburesh(at)gmail(dot)com
I would try to eat more fruits and vegetables in the winter. It seems so much easier when more is available in summer.
I know exercise would be the healthiest thing I could do right now! But that requires getting off the couch...
I'd love to start walking again.

I would add exercise, especially daily walking to my life because I need it to keep heart healthy as I am getting older now. The Red Book would be an honor to win. Thank you.

Thanks!

I would like to exercise on a regular basis to keep in better shape and watch my junk food intake, thanks for the giveaway!
I'd love to be able to get more exercise. I often get a walk in three days a week, but five would be better :)
I would try to de-stress my life more.
I need to get more exercise and eat better. I would be a better example for my sons if I did!
Exercise and to eliminate processed foods.
I need to do better about avoiding salty snacks...
This looks like an awesome book!
This year I have decided to cook as much of our family meals from scratch as possible.

I should cut down on red meat. Have a lot of heart disease in my family, lost my dad very young, his mom and brothers all from the same heart problem. I have some health issues but can walk and do water exercises. Cannot wait for warmer weather!!! Thank you for the give away. tjunger93@gmail.com
The last few months I have felt the effects of stress like never before. I want to incorporate some daily meditation / yogic breathing in my routine to manage my stress levels.
Nice to be here and see your post!
