Change of Thread

Hi Everyone! Boy, I'm enjoying reading all the posts and seeing what fabric you all have chosen. Such a diversity! And some have even finished their blocks....well, this blockhead has decided to change her thread. The stitcheries I did have done will just have to be used in the hexie bag from the book, which was the original plan. So what thread am I going to use now, you ask? I've decided to go with a Cottage Garden thread. It's hand dyed and variegated. I love the Hugs & Kisses colour, but have quite a few others coming, too. So I'll make the final decision when they get here. *grin* So it will be next week, I imagine, that I will get started on my stitching.....I wonder what I'll do with myself until then!

It is a woman's prerogative to change her mind.... and as often as she wants!!! Well.... that's what I say...

I agree with BubzRugz....also if you keep changing your mind about your threads, it will give me time to catch up!! LOL.....I still have not even recieved my pattern!!! Ugh! I am really getting worried now....except that we get a Spring Break Holiday next week so I will have 7 days to bunker down....in...out of the snow storms that are expected....and stitch...all week long! Total Bliss! So Sandy you just keep changing your thread as often as you wish...okay?!!!

Sandy, so I see I'm not the only one who changes her mind...ha.
I'm sure it will look lovely...the ones done in variegated thread that have been posted looked really good. I thought when I was doing "Peace" that I should do the star in yellow/gold...I thought of doing the who manger in other colors and I might still do that.
