I’ve held off doing this month’s Aurifil block because I’ve been anxiously awaiting this box of loveliness.

It should compliment the existing Aurifil 12wt that I have just wonderfully.

Now to stitch!

If you’re stitching along you still have a couple days to finish up your block for April! Pattern here.

Ready, set, GO!

In Seattle you haven’t had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it’s running.

Is that a challenge Jeff? I’ll bring my machine in with the hubby tomorrow morning. We’ll stop at a Starbucks (or ten) on the way in.

Ready, set, GO!

The Next Really Big Project… and some Randomness

November 11, 2008 in Fabric, Misc, Thread by emily | 2 comments

Liam’s Big Boy Quilt.  Yay!  But I’m a little sniffley that he’s getting towards the age of needing one.  I won’t start sewing it until after the holidays but I’ve started fabric collecting now.

At least I’ll have some (about 30 miles) thread to sew with.

I cleaned up all the fabric that was strewn about the room (except for some VHC, D&J and Christmas that is in neat stacks elsewhere – about 5 quilts total).  I was supposed to cut back on my fabric shopping.  That’s not going too well.  It used to all fit in the cubbies.  And then it overflowed onto the top.  And now it’s piling up in front.  I’d like to put myself of a fabric buying hiatus but that’s so not going to happen.

The week is all about patterns.  I’m working on three of them this week.  Hopefully they will be in the shop soon.

I obviously need more thread

I saw this idea in a blog post here. Of course, I had to have one and luckily found a drawer at a antique shop while on vacation. Popped it up and the wall and loaded it up.

It looks way too empty. I need to go shopping for more thread.
