    OK since I can not get to the post office who would like to do it? The FQ would be sent to you and they would have to arrive by the middle of dec then you mail them. If a person misses the dead line they then will have to send the FQ themself.

    I am so in!!!! I am just starting with building my stash so this is a great incentive for me to get the prize!

    I have to say you guys on this board are awesome! I went to a message board (not quilt related) that I used to read a lot, after a few threads I remembered why I don't read there anymore and spend my time here. They say hurtful things to each other and complain. Everyone here is full of encouragement and support. This is the place to be!!!

    I want and need to do this! I am hoping to get DH to exercise w/me too! We have an entire weight room down stairs and we need to be using it! It's a large room and if its not going to be used I want it cleared out for a sewing room! Need to exercise though. I have water in the back of the van!! I need to drink it! :oops:

    I am so glad I found this place, but I spend too much time on here instead of at my machine sewing. I am sure that none of you have that problem ;) .

    Count me in again. Apparantly I like giving away fabric too. Gained 3 pounds last month. I don't see this month being any better with all the baking I have to do but i'll try.

    I can forward the FQs to Bonnie.

    Okay, it is December and I am not going to lose this month. I'm not even going to try to lose this month. I'm going to eat well, sleep well, walk every day, enjoy my family, and see if living right will help me get my focus on the right track.

    Since 2011 will be my year, I am also going to make a center for a weight loss/get healthy quilt. I haven't finished designing it yet, but something in each block will account for each pound lost. The center of each block will represent the new habit/life change for the month. January's block will have a mirror in it because the focus will be "Me First" when it comes to my health. January will be all about getting those annual check-up things I really hate out of the way.

    February will be something about improving heart health.
    March will be "March into that kitchen and take control." get rid of junk.
    April might be "Get outside every day."
    May:

    If you have ideas, let me know. I'll post pictures of my blocks as I go.
