    Isn't it amazing how little things like that can make you so happy? That is what I love about quilting, when you do something that you didn't think you could and it works!

    I posted about the waxed thread. Isn't it wonderful? Eleanor Burns suggested it. The brand I use is Beadwrangler's Original Silamide 2ply. I have an assortment of different color 100 yard spools that Eleanor sold on her website some years ago. I use it for most all my handsewing. Threads magazines said it was the best handsewing thread to use too.
    I love my life!

    Thanks for the suggestion...I am really pleased with the results on those hexies. I may have to increase my inventory of this thread in some colors too,
