Thread +coffee+early AM sewing=diaster
 

Have a small spool of white thread in my hand. Bumped my coffee mug. Spool fell into coffee. Rinsed the spool but definately have to wash whatever I sew with coffee flavored thread. Did I mentioned this happened 4:00 AM? Luckily not a full spool. Lesson learned. Watch where I place that "required for sewing" cup of coffee! OH...I always have cream in my coffee. :eek:

I'd be wondering if the coffee stain would come out of the white thread, or even stain the fabric it was going to be against. I'd probably toss it.

I learned long ago, no drinks or food anywhere near the quilting things.

I bet its a pretty color. You might have started a new dying technique here! Something to think about!

You were up at 4am? Yikes!!!!

I was thinking the same! The only time I'm up at 4 am is when I'm having trouble sleeping and then I certainly am not in a state to even think about quilting.

I understand getting up early to sew - it's quiet, and nice to watch the sun rise and the birds are chirping. I used to do it, I would wake up and unable to go back to sleep so I would just get up.

My insomina got worse when I quilt working. Normal time for me to wake up is 4:00ish but I go to bed early. This gives me lots of time to make messes in my sewing room! :shock::rolleyes:;)
