I have done quite well today, tho' the backing might be a right bugger to line up, its bliss to sew through.

So I have quilted some gardens and outlined the skyline ... more on Sunday, tomorrow I go to the hairdresser courtesy of Imself (driving not paying) ... I currently look like cousin IT!!!

Just catching up with this thread, Imi it is wonderful but I don't get the smoked almonds reference (doesn''t help I read it as sugered almonds!).

Welling up at Fruit and Veges.

Step away from the Village, Iminei .....

I've had to step away from TV as I have tension issues with The Splurgess.
Is it because the reel of thread is coming to an end ???

I dont know ... but that in itself behoves another problem; Im right at the end of one of my greens (Oh Yes ... Lowena is going to loooove this quilt ... so many greens!)

So what to do ... Sensible Imi has stepped away from TV, turned off TS and is tapping away on here ... better that than try to continue, lose it and go down another avenue ... No OH to snatch the offending article away you see, and if he did, this time I could be hard on his heels up the stairs!

So a break ... Should I attempt a slow walk onto town to see if I can replace the Green ??? I have used it a lot and it might be noticed if it was suddenly absent ...
Return to TV in an hour ??? hoping the tension issues are resolved?
Or lose a precious day of work ???? and come to it fresh in the morning?

Decisions,. decisions

So a break ... Should I attempt a slow walk onto town to see if I can replace the Green ??? I have used it a lot and it might be noticed if it was suddenly absent ... NO. It's going to be the hottest day the year and it will wear you out. So not the best idea to do that today IMHO.
Return to TV in an hour ??? hoping the tension issues are resolved? No.  Hope won't resolve the issues .
Or lose a precious day of work ???? and come to it fresh in the morning? YES definitely! That sounds like the best idea all round. Get a cold drink, chill out and relax and you will be better able to deal with it tomorrow all fresh and ready for the challenge ahead!

OK a day off from TV!

But I did wander very carefully and slowly into town to get some green, so I am ready to go tomorrow morning with no delays.

It wasn't too hot a walk as there was quite a strong, warm breeze ... I enjoyed it, like being on holiday in the Med!
Although my foot is complaining ever so slightly.

Are you able to get some more thread locally? There's some online at Jaycotts. Delivery usually pretty quick..within 2 - 3 days, although I realise you're running out of time.

Good luck.

No, nothing locally.

I have found some at The Little House of Patchwork and have bought it. I have sent them a message ... (Why do all P&Q shops close at 4pm ????) begging them to send out as soon as is possible ...

I'm using it as the bobbin thread as it matches the backing so beautifully, I have a lil left on the bobbin and this ....

THIS is NOT what I need right now!

Oh, deary me.  :(  That's a sorry sight.

Hope they send it out quickly for you.

This piece of work has been quite challenging at times hasn't it?

I’d give Jaycotts a ring and see what they can do. Lady Sew and Sew also have some on their website if you want to try them too.
