Curses!

The guild's potluck is Monday night and we're supposed to bring 2 new
spools of thread wrapped up in fabric for the gift exchange.

No problem!, I think to myself. I have fabric. I have thread. Except of
course that most of my thread is used, so whole spool is not there. Except
this one spool. But wait, I like that one! I can't give it away I might
need.

Well, I just go to TSWLTH and get a spool of thread. Except they're in the
processing of closing so they can move to a bigger location. And they're out
of thread.

Hmm, well. It's Friday. I take the 20 minute drive to the LQS at lunchtime.
No one is likely to miss me if I'm a little late getting back to the office.

So I read my email. There is one from the LQS. They just got in the
"Blueberry Crumbcake" line from Moda. I have a jelly roll of that. I'm going
to make a quilt from it. I'll need border fabric. And the LQS owner says
it's flying off the shelves. I need it! I need it now! I may need lots of
it since I don't know how big my borders will be!

This is going to be one really expensive spool of thread!

If you want to see what's causing Maureen's very expensive spool of thread,
here is the fabric line. If you root around there, you can also see a kit
from the Blueberry Crumbcake line. 'Not' that I would ever buy a kit, but
the kit (it seems to me) loses the beauty of the designs by cutting it into
sharp points. Methinks the fabric should be used with larger pieces and a
gentler pattern. Also 'Not' that I would ever play in subtle colors.
Subtle is just not in my repertoire but the fabrics are lovely. Polly

oh, that's really really pretty. the thread will be worth it hee!

IMO it is wicked to name fabrics after food in this way.
Good luck getting thread :-)

Just goes to show, going into the LQS is bad for your wallet! But I
love the story and I bet that quilt is going to be lovely!

Sometimes (but only sometimes, few and far between) I thank my lucky
stars for NOT having a LQS or even TSWLTH here in Spain. Now that the
newly elected government has decided to drastically cut into my
already less than substantial physician's pay, I really do NOT need
the extra temptation.

Sigh, why is there so much temptation out there; new fabrics, new
gadgets, chocolate, new machines.....

I don't usually go for subtle either Polly. But for some reason when I saw
this line I just started to drool.

Yes, I ended up with yardage. And a spool of thread.
