What I Did Last Night

 

Look, I know it isn't very exciting, but last night I wound 25 bobbins* with my favorite light gray thread. It's Presencia 60w, and I order it in large spools. 

I know it isn't particularly exciting, but, hey, that's what I did last night.

That and set up my Elsa machine back in the studio. It had been taking a vacation while I sewed up the Awash in a Sea of Blue quilt. The backing fabric is being shipped and I should have it to work on this weekend.


*Yes, I know this is 23 bobbins. One is in the machine and the other is still in the bobbin winding gizmo. And yes, I know I can buy pre-wound bobbins, but that just doesn't seem right to me.

    Lynne,
    Can you share what color thread you purchased?

    What comes next will be exciting. Better to wind your own since only can find white pre-wound. I like grey also.

    Light grey is a great bobbin colour, I use that or a pale beige. And having bobbins already done is a bonus. I just wish the machine manufacturers would have a warning light when the bobbin is almost empty !!!
