Nancy, a FQ is a fat quarter - 1/4 yard of fabric made by cutting a half yard in half. 18"x21-22". The people on this thread can join the contest by posting their intention by the 5th of the month and sending meanmom their fat quarter. Some of us follow and only join when the weight starts sneaking up. For me, it was a great incentive when I had pounds to lose. I rejoined in August when I needed to lose a few. (August was batiks). Recipes are shared, encouragement given, a sounding board offered, plus other benefits. All in all a win-win situation.
Pat, it all sounds good. I just went to a local Guatemalan restaurant with my son. Fajita salad. His burrito looked good, too. Off to take the dogs to the dog park, then a bike ride to work it off.
