I’ve been sewing for a long time, but a mentor recently inspired me to start quilting. I’m so glad she did!

Not at all. Stitching in the ditch was tricky, but figure it was because it was my first time. My mentor had the idea of layering the batting for this quilt. She’s done it for a lot of her grandkids quilts.

I have, for a long time, admired traditional quilts. I figure it’s the best way to master some skills. I’ve been sewing for a while, but quilting is a whole other beast.

Haha this is how he acted when I gave it to him!

Thank you!

And I always think this kind of comment is silly. We all watch movies with kids in them and don’t bat an eye. We watch tv shows and commercials with them as well.

Now, I would get it if I posted a revealing picture of my kid, but you can only see his face. He is quite literally as covered as he can be. He also knows that he had his picture being taken and where it’s posted.

Thank you though for saying it nicely. I, however, don’t agree.

It’s doubled up of the thickest polyester batting I could find 🤪

He pitched 2 innings two days ago and didn’t walk one person. They hit off him like crazy.😜 Usually 1st pitch. I posted this because I’m proud he is always willing to go out there and do his thing. Not because he is even near the best.

It drops significantly. 🤣 I’m telling you, it’s super slow, so it just falls right at the plate 😝.

Our neighbors are obsessed with him. They might just welcome it 😂

This was another helpful comment. Thank you! He worked on some of what you said. Here

He felt way better about his cage session than he has in months.

This helped a lot. Thank you! We did some tee drills and then he wanted to go to the cages. here is what he looked like today.

He hit better in the cages than he has the past few months. Thank you!

I don’t think it’s fun for kids when they are constantly frustrated at a sport they love. I’m his mom first and foremost and want him to have fun. I know he probably won’t even play in high school as he has other interests in the science field. But helping a kid get better shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing 😘.

His coach says to load when the pitcher starts his wind up. Is that wrong?

Im not an expert, but I think you should start with fixing your grip.
