So organised and then !!!!!

This is the 1st time that i have been so organised and keeping ahead ,i have all the stitcherys traced out and the separate blocks sewn together so i was already to start stitching.
So of i went to my local shops to get my verigated green and red thread only to find that not 1 of them had it,i wanted to use what Annette had shown us,  she was using needle necessities 1301,which i think will look good with my colourings,damn.
I am in geelong next week so will try there 2 patchwork shops .
cheers shez
