Blessings!!

It is always a goooooood Quilted Feeling....like the old song I am
hooked on a feeling......to see a Quilt finished up.
Using the French General fabrics I think this Swoon is unique and
specially made for a dear, close friend.....
In the Process

Dear Jane Quilt.....Born Again Today...1863 & 2016

Yes, Dear Jane was Born Again....on my DR table....230 pm today...Relief starts the minute you stitch the last stitch into a quilt that has taken your time and love and life for 4 months.  When I started
 Dear Jane  I knew it was a total commitment and had heard and even
Now, how to Quilt Her?!
repeated the phrase, No Pain No Jane.  My body took it literally, when
after I started it February 12th of this year I soon came down with
Sciatica .... I felt like I had the flu....my legs were weak and then I had no stamina in my right leg especially.  Piriformis Syndrome must involved too, according to my night time pain in my hip......not much sleep in 4 months.....



Always Enjoy Music while you Quilt and Play.....Enjoy it below...

Auditioned on our bed.....


  We tried different things ourselves, thinking whatever it was, it would leave soon.  We finished up the kitchen and the new bathroom too and I quilted on Jane Baby.....Finally, as God would lead us,
we found what we needed.

 I tried deep and painful muscle massage first and then acupuncture; along with seeing our holistic MD.....he is getting my blood sugars back into normal ranges too....so now we are at the Chiropractor two times a week.
My sacrum is twisted and my left leg is longer than my right leg....the sciatic nerve runs from your ankles to your brain....I guess this was a NO BRAINER for some, but I have been blessed with good health....no issues, even with heavy hard days and nights as a Nurse...but...it is what it is.

I am just preaching a little as us quilters need more exercises in our life....develop a
NEW PATTERN!!...in your life.....please, never experience what I have....
It may take 4 months to get this conquered.....good news is my xrays showed a
very good spine; slightly swayed inward....but no arthritis.....
So, I am done teaching......I took a few pics with my Iphone of the top on
our bed....over 5200 pieces and 226 fabrics involved....and a Crazy Lady who
lives and loves to Quilt.....
I must add.....my Hub......he is a saint....our vows of for Better or Worse, Richer or Poorer, in Sickness and in Health......46 years......Perfect.  
My Perfect Companion....My Gary.....
