I had posted a video of me auditioning fabrics for

I had posted a video of me auditioning fabrics for the binding a couple of weeks ago. I don’t tend to like high contrast binding but I really liked this dark fabric so I did it anyway. After I finished it, I regretted it so hard! 🤦🏻‍♀️ And then after I took these pics, I loved it again.
.
What do you think is wrong with me? 🤣🙃🤫

Swipe for a pic of the AMAZING border quilting @tracyloukota did on this for me.

Once upon a time I was a realtor and all I wanted

Once upon a time I was a realtor and all I wanted to do was make quilts all day long. That version of me would be so pleased with this current life. 🤎 She would also never believe that this was her quilt (I used a lot of black fabrics in the beginning). 🤣 It’s interesting how much we grow and change just by doing the same thing over and over again.

Something I mention very briefly in the book I’m

Something I mention very briefly in the book I’m writing is how I have NOTHING together. Or how I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time. And I’ve recently noticed whatever we succeed at means we are failing at something else. If I’m on top of my weight and exercise it means my house is probably a mess. If my house is clean and tidy, it means I’ve taken time away from work to get it that way. Nothing is ever 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 at the same time. Have you noticed this?
🤎
Whatever you are working on and no matter how bad you think you are, just do it anyway. Doing is the only real way to learn.
Do it anyway. Do it anyway. Do it anyway. 🤎
The house will get cleaned when it’s the houses turn. The exercise is important but I’m not going to make myself miserable over it. There needs to be balance in my work life or it won’t keep making me happy.
🤎
And though it may “look” like someone has it together….they most certainly do not. Nobody has it ALL together. We’re all just floating around, doing the best we can, winning at some things and losing at others.
🤎
I took this pic the other day. It’s for the #alifewithquilts book. I spend an obscene amount of time on my photography. But it’s something I really enjoy so I’m gonna keep at it. The quilt is the #mariposaquilt which is the only one I’ve finished completely so far. I’m hoping to release the book in august. That’s the goal and I might just pull it off. Time will tell. Hugs!

The #happyfolkquilt is officially available over @quilterscandymembership @quilters_candy . I’m so looking forward to seeing more versions of this one.
🤎
For mine I used #agfpuresolids in gingerbread by @artgalleryfabrics and Speckled in melon by @rashida_coleman_hale for my background. The low vols are all #agfsoftenthevolume and #agfpuresolids in sweet Macademia and blushing.

Oh and for the record and those who asked for the update…😂 the romper wearing is actually…ok. You do have to undress to go the bathroom, but you get quicker with it as you get used to it. Just don’t wait until it’s an emergency. Also, don’t have an updo because your hair gets messed up each and every time. I’ve bought another since this one. 🤣

Happy Sunday! 🐻 Don’t forget to post your #s
