My thread ran out


I was quilting along after a VERY lengthy internal debate over how to quilt and in what color, when my thread ran out. I knew it would happen but it still hurt! I decided on Gutermann 100, a soft grey that they call silver. I only had half of a small spool of this thread and JoAnns was sold out. My friend, Amy, was able to loan me another spool while I continued my search. Last night I learned that the two area JoAnns were going to be closed today due to the snowstorm so I couldn't even get an answer as to whether or not they had restocked till Thursday. I ended up ordering it on line and now I wait. Fortunately, the 18" of snow we are expecting today will likely keep me occupied.

  3. My husband works for FedEx and they even gave him the day off today...so I hope that ordering it online gets it there in a decent time for you!

  5. I can't believe the snow you guys are getting! I just hope the electricity and heat stays on for everybody!

    Your quilt looks awesome. Bummer about the thread. I was trying to figure out your pinning (I haven't really tried quilting my own yet). Do you use a combination of straight pins and regular pins?
