But im a planning on returning soon and ill explain whats been going on and share some quilting goodness with ya'll

New feel for life

Well I'm going to give a short story about this last year of my life and how it's changed 

For the last several years I've been suffering from depression for some Unapparent reason been on several different meds only to work for a short period of time I hated work I was tired all the time doctors said I have chronic fatigue syndrome yes it is a thing so now what they got no ideal apparently I have a chronic sinus infection I take a pill for on top of hypothyroidism 😲

Jump to June 2017 exhausted all my efforts all the ( energy giving potions ) I could find 

I turned to a great person I'd been following on social 

Now I'm getting into the game changer I joined beacbody about the time I started feeling bad just needs like minded people since I live in such a rural area going to a gym wasn't an option I didn't get a response from the free coach I picked so what's different now everything !!!

She suggested I try shakology its money back guarantee ok I'm not sure but I'm spending money on everything else by the end of that 30 day bag of gold I felt Amazing 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I hadn't felt that gin years jump ahead to august 9 on my 51 birthday I became a Beachbody coach part timefor life I just want everyone to feel this good 

Jumping ahead further my boss of 27 years passes away now I'm finding my way as a full time coach and can't wait to get up every day and spread the word 

Alrighty 

if I still have followers 

I love you I'll be back

Diana

Oh and I think I'll be cooking  more stay tuned!,!

Quick baby quilt

So I have been torn give a quilt I have done ...... Or rummage thru my stuff and see what I can do in a couple hours 

Yes I only want to spend 2 hours stop shaking your head it can be done !

So I got this panel   Somewhere and they had a couple yards of this minky too cheep!

So this is where I begin I am going to turn it so I don't have to do binding Ah!

Before I sewed these together I had a aha moment what if I attached some batting 

To the back of the balloon so I cut a piece the size of the balloon and used stick glue 

Voila!  Trapunto then I thought it would need another piece of batting cut a bit smaller

Pin it and start in the middle the top is flannel so no stretchy but the back ayaya

This after I sewed around the balloon sections it's hard to see I know

But I swear it's really cool😁

Another view

I only did the balloon and moon

Oh I forgot to take a pic of the moon

This stuff is not easy to freemotion quilt it stretches and squirms but if you do something small and pin and hold you can do it

2 hours cut sewn and in the wash

I almost have my hunters star complete Yaa 

Talk later I'm on a roll

Lol. Diana

Still sewing along

When I started these I actually thought they would be a breeze 

Using my cutter and all but not properly preparing for how many pieces each one needed

Jeez!

Stack of these

To up on the wall

Coming to a.close

Bears paw not sure if I'm going to do them straight with sashing or on point

Still waiting that new addition
