tick tock


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

    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!

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Rachel. I love making things & experimenting with new techinques & mediums. I am addicted to pretty paper, and make & sell letterpress stationery. Being creative is my sanity break from the rush of life as a wife, and a mother of four. I do a lot of my creating without shoes. This is the story of where my bare feet & creative heart take me.
