Your quilt is going to be gorgeous, Cindy. Love the colors.
I also love those batiks!
I found a Christmas candy that I can't overeat - peanut brittle - my jaw is tired of chewing it very quickly.

I will post later today the next 3 months. I am at the doctors with dad now.

Oh the batiks are yummy. I am pushing on and going to work extra hard to take home that hoard of wonderful fabric.

Keep warm ladies. Us, up north in WA, are cold, but no snow or ice which I can live with. The roads are clear. The sun is actually trying to shine and we are to get to a high of 22. Now if I can keep my fingers warm enough to do the data entry that needs done.

We have another snow day today. I am procrastinating (crafting). It is amazing the things I can find to do to avoid cleaning the house. I could get into all kinds of mischief today!

*peeks in*

I'm late to the fun, but I'll join now to hopefully not gain any this month!

Monday morning, I came in at 107, so I've got 12 pounds to lose. However, I'm very petite, so yes, 95 lbs is a healthy weight for me to carry, that normally puts me around a 20% BMI. I can safely and easily jump off things at 95 lbs, at 105 lbs, my knees feel the jumps a lot more.

Winter is my worst because I tend to overeat junk and I avoid going outside as much as possible.

That wouldn't help me, Pam, I just keep eating 'til it's all gone! :o Second snow day off for me, I need to get back to work. I can't stay out of the kitchen. :(

I brought work home and could finally face it today. I've also been finishing a binding on a gift quilt that needs to get in the mail soon.

Cold & windy here today with snow on the way. I just brought in the trash cans that had blown into the street & about got blown over myself. My body isn't used to this yet after 21 years in Southern CA! Finished setting up my sewing room today but have a few non quilting jobs to do before I do any quilting. I just shortened the sleeves on a winter coat. Not my favorite thing to do but I won't pay someone else to do what I can. Next is shortening some jeans. They are petites & still a few inches too long.

Some terrible winter weather happening around the US. Stay safe & warm!

Okay ladies,

Here is what I have come up with for the next 3 months.

January 14 -- black/whites in any combination
February 14 -- brights
March 14 -- Batiks again since this is a favorite.

Just remember if you send in your FQ's in advance you still need to post on the new thread to sign up for that month.

I have my spread sheets ready to track who sends in theirs for the quarter.

Good luck everyone.

Finally home from the doctors and then taking mom grocery shopping. She is doing well, just moving slow.
