Well, I bought my white thread as well as some black, greys and taupes just to be on the safe side. I also invested in three more thread organisers.
Tina Bonifacio who commented on the beauty of my nicely organised thread collection should be happy about that. 
My thread collection is just about the only organised thing in my sewing room though!
Anyway, hopefully I’ll get the “which way?” baby/lap quilt top finished this week.
The Janome is home!
My Janome 3160QDC is back home again. I haven’t had a chance to put it through its paces yet, it’s still snuggling in its tote, but I’m itching to have another go at free motion quilting. I want to practice so I can use it for the “which way?” quilt.
Why is it the “which way?” quilt?
Because I’m spatially challenged and I don’t want to have to do any “unsewing” so, when I pick up each block I ask myself ”which way?” – so far, so good it seems to be working.
Hancock’s of Paducah came good
A few weeks ago I took advantage of Hancock’s of Paducah’s free shipping sale and bought some batting. Well they sent me one correct one and one wrong one. They told me I could keep the wrong for the inconvenience caused and they would send me the right one. And they did! It arrived yesterday. Thank you Hancocks! Don’t you just love good old-fashioned customer service!
Where did you find those nice thread organizers ?? I sure could use a few……

Ooo! I like seeing that good ‘ole Bernina 830 that you’re using. It’s a real workhorse, isn’t it? I started sewing with one but had to buy a Bernina QE153 when the old 830 just couldn’t handle free-motion quilting. The 830 would stop running, completely, when it overheated. Still, I love that machine, and even bought another 830 when I found it an estate sale. Would you believe I paid $52?! When I teach beginner quiltmaking, it’s the machine I loan to someone who doesn’t have a machine to use.
Hope you enjoy having your Janome back, working perfectly.

I love organization, which you can’t tell by my sewing room. Your thread is beautiful.
I unsew with my rotary cutter, yes dangers but fast.
Way to go Hancock’s.
