Yesterday I decided to try to finish the baby quilt top. And I did, well almost. I pieced two rows, sewed them together and pressed them – with the help of Mr T, of course:
Then I sewed the third third row to the second and … I ran out of WHITE THREAD! Can you believe it? How can a person run out of white thread? I was just two inches from the end of the seam. Well I decided I wasn’t going to leave a seam half done so I wound some thread from the bobbin onto the empty spool and continued to the end of the seam. But that is the end of my sewing until I can buy some more thread. So half a baby quilt…
I read in the Quilt Show Newsletter that Alex Anderson says quilters always forget about white but she was talking about white fabrics. Well I have plenty of those, I just don’t have plenty of white thread as you can see.
Hi there, wondering what you would recommend as a good white background fabric for quilting, and where to buy it online here in Oz?

I love the way you’ve organized your thread! (White or not. :-)) My first organizing job was for a quilter’s workroom. I am not a sew-er (had to put the hyphen, you know), so I had a blast learning all about the ins and outs of the incredible stuff you do. I’m so glad there are others in the world who have these gifts! Keep on quilting…
Thanks Tina. Just glad you can’t see the rest of my room. 🙂
