That is the sound of the clock ticking the moments away, as the dolls quilt swap deadline nears. I’m close, so very close, but at he same time, I’m thinking it will be a tight finish. But it’s worth it, and I am really chuffed with how it’s turning out, so I hope my swap partner likes it.
In other news. I need to buy more bobbins. {please tell me I’m not the only one who does this?}
I used to do that with my bobbins… but then got my hands on 100 new bobbins… but now I have no where to store 100 bobbins with different coloured threads… perhaps I should go back to the double duty bobbin like you do.
I’m hoping to get a big pile of them and a nice bobbin case – the double duty works well until you need the colour underneath and have to unravel the top colour!
Looking good on the mini quilt, can’t wait to see them all revealed. As for the bobbin thing I think it’s hereditary, you must have got it from my mum :p
Thanks Esther! And if a mum does it, it must be right 😉
I’ve never thought of doing that with a bobbin!! How silly am I!!
Desperate times call for desperate measures!

I used to do that too, now when I haven’t got an empty one, I find the one with the least thread on it and unwind it.
I’ve been known to do that too, but all of them had too much to unwind!
Had never seen it before until a friend did it; tried it and it jammed big time so ow I buy new bobbins when I run low (which reminds me, getting short again!) however I have been known to wind colour from one to Other to free up a fresh new bobbin!
Quilt looking awesome 😉
I have jammed once, and now I’ve very particular to make sure all loose ends are well and truly tucked away!
