you're sailing along on a WIP, make a few changes to the pattern, like make it rectangular instead of square, and suddenly you discover you may not have enough fabric. Then you sew some more to find you are running out of thread. I am making a QAYG quilt called sea shell for my DDIL (yes the same DDIL as the silk quilt). The sea shells are embroidered and have a stipple stitch around each applique, about 10,000 stitches each. I had gotten some polyester embroidery thread back before Christmas from some close-out place on the internet. Well, I am running out of the blue. So till I can find some close to that color I am done for a while. Dr's appt tomorrow in opposite direction of LQS where I can most likely find the fabric. So tonight is bubble bath and a good book. I guess it's time to start another quilt....
