beautiful quilt. where, may I ask, do all ya'll get your notions at? thread is so expensive on the internet, and my bf doesn't like going to walmart. I've looked at walmart and the internet for sewing machine needles that have the size number on them. Because I can not find them, I always universal needles. I can't find any 100 % cotton, just nylon and polyester mixed, polyester and cotton, metalic thread I've been able to find. I always get the cotton polyester blend.
