Skinny quarters are what I call the Fat quarters since we all are trying to lose weight. So please still 18 x22 in size.

Not a good start for me. Dad, 86 years old had his gallbladder out this morning. So I've over done carbs the last few days. Oh we'll, I'll start again tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well with their personal goals.

Please pm the address for mailing the fabric. Thank you

Bookish One rec'd your FQ today...........oooh so pretty. I love playing with all the FQ's that arrive.

Cindy glad you are feeling a lot better, and that your blood sugars are evening out too. My husband goes tonight for a second half sleep study, due to the first not being complete. I will be going too to sit by. I am doing pretty good keeping with it too. I haven't weighed yet again though. A big hooray for all of us. :thumbup:

My FQ's in the mail today.

I have noticed that some of the newbies have not contacted me yet for the address to mail their FQ in. If you are here for support only that is awesome. If you are here for the prize you need to send me a PM for the address.

So far I have only rec'd FQ aka skinny quarters from 2 people, I have seen that a few are out shopping and a few have them in the mail. When I get a bunch of them in I will post a picture of this month pile for the winner.

I will be working on cutting some fabric for several swaps that i am in and for a few scrap quilt project I am doing.

You look great Teddybear Lady!!!!

My FQ have not been sent yet. I hope to get them out by Monday or Tuesday.

Worked on several quilts yesterday and last night. Our little quilting group at church are making 10 quilts that are going to Romania this July with our Missions team. 6 of them are ready to quilt, one is already started on the quilting 2 just need borders attached and the last one the top is done but we are waiting for the backing that I ordered to arrive.
I also worked on a 1/2 square triangle quilt from an exchange our group did in August. We hang quilts around the church for Mother's day and we are all scrambling to get our 1/2 square quilts done so we can hang them all together. We hope to be able to hang several of the Romania quilts as well as other quilts that we have make during the year.

I have my skinny FQ ready to mail. I hope to make it to the post office Monday. I had to buy a purple. It will kill me to part with it. Purple is my favorite color.
I am down 2.7 pounds so far for the month. My bootcamp class will start being 2 days a week this week. I am also in a running club at work. I walk. I do about a mile before school 2 days a week. I need to start riding my bike. The weather is finally nice here. 67 degrees today.. The weather here is up and down a lot at this time of year. We had snow last Sunday. I might just have to wear my new capris to work this week. All of mine from last year fall down:-)

Would not be good to wear something that is falling down when going to work. Or something a child could grab ahold of and pull down. LOL

I can't wait to feel like riding a bike again. Now that the crude is gone I am going to start walking before work and during my lunch.
