Some days are just more
productive than others,
but no matter what happens or
doesn't happen
we're continually moving forward.
That is, of course, if you're not
literally moving backwards.
Yesterday my quilting progress
consisted of this:
threading 30 needles and
winding them onto my needle dome.
I guess I could feel some what defeated.
It's a pretty small "forward" activity.
But
But
the next time I do have an opportunity
to sit down and quilt
to sit down and quilt
I'll be ready!
It's all about your perspective.
Until Next Time-
I don't thread needles ahead of time but I can see it would be a time saver. My threads would probably tangle with each other and I would spend time untangling or throwing the thread away.
ReplyDeleteYou are nevertheless making progress, Kyle.
ReplyDeleteWow, 30 needles threaded! I'm not even sure I own that many needles. You are prepared to stitch! : )
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I've ever seen one of these needle organizers that you've mentioned. I'll have to start paying attention next time I'm at the LQS.
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely progress.....you will be whizzing through those needles non-stop! That's always my downfall when hand quilting.....I just start to get a good rhythm going, and I have to stop to thread needles. I've never put that many up at once, but I just might do that next time! Awesome!
ReplyDelete30 needles? Mine only hold 10
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way now that I'm hand quilting - it is SLOW
then there is all the housework I'm doing and cleaning out -
I know there are only 10 slots, but I put 3 needles in each spot. It's winds up fine with quilting thread. But even doing 10 needles, it's a great time saver.
