Out of Thread...

G8-JustinsComet

I should have machine pieced this baby.  It took much longer than it should have.  G8- Justin's Comet, one little block out of "Dear Sammy Jane."

Why is it that when you have a project you are dying to finish... that everything possible goes wrong and prevents you from finishing?

I wanted to finish a table runner tonight and get it on Etsy.  After all, it DOES have a Valentine theme, and that's just a hint over one month away!  I ran out of thread mid-project tonight while I was meander quilting it.  Meandering soaks up thread like water on a sponge.  GEESH!  So after work tomorrow, it's hurry to the quilt store before they close, grab the thread, go home and make dinner, eat, and go to choir.  The sewing will have to wait until Wednesday.   Unless we get a snow storm...   Hey, God?   Are you listening?

2 Comments so far...could you please leave yours?:

  1. What a beautiful little block, though. Certainly worth the time and the thread. ;)

  2. Gorgeous block! So sorry you ran out of thread before finishing. I had my own disaster today. I inadvertently deleted all but one of my postings in my brand new vintage cottage home blog. Arghhh! I've taken all day to replace them since I didn't make copies so had to rewrite everything from scratch and I sure would rather have started something new. I also lost the lovely comments you made so......when you've caught up with your threading, maybe you can make another visit! That would be great!
