I just found some very fun stitches that I didn't know my machine could do!! Also just found out while sewing buttons on to the crazy quilt that it really really hurts to stab needle in to thigh instead of fabric

I am doing the embroidery stitches on my crazy quilt by hand. Even though I have an embroidery bernina sewing machine that I have never used. LOL. I just like the hand stuff. For my partner.....it is turning out really nice and I like it so much. I might want to keep it..........lol. Then I would have to make another one. This one takes a while because of the hand work in it.

I do have one quilt finished, and talking about crazy? wow it really is. the circumstances I have gone through the past couple of months, and I know there are others worse off than me.
a bit of the circumstances, first off I found out I got diabetes, then the car broke down, no transportation since Feb. car is now getting fixed, but oh the money, and now that is resolved. I worry so much about things! and then of course, foodstuff, I even got to the place I was afraid to eat anything! That also has been resolved (dietitian)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and I did some longggg conversations with Him too.
I had to realize this is an ongoing thing( diabetes) and I have to live with it and change my lifestyle a bit. exercise more ......Sorry ladies, long winded today.
things are being resolved, and with God's help it is.
so what someone said here, quilting istherapy!!!!!
I don't know which one to send this one to. but just FYI its a therapy quilt!!!
