I just received an email stating that the new Sunlit shuttles are in at Handy Hands! I'm very excited, because I really need more shuttles! ;-)
While I'm waiting for my new shuttles to arrive, I need to stay focused on my newest project. Yes, I've started another Spinning Wheel in Perfect Quilter. This color is #088, Leaf Me Alone... funny name for a very pretty thread.
I've found that when I'm working with this really fine thread, I really don't mind using the shoelace trick at the end of each spoke. That little half stitch isn't noticeable the way it is in size 20. That's nice for me... I only have to wind thread on to one shuttle!

What a wonderful name for the thread! Sunlit? What's so special?
ReplyDeleteI do like that thread. I just started on a new colorway and it's so much fun to see how it tats up. Love your spinning wheels!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want your report on the sunlits after you get them. The colors are lovely, but I can't tell from the picture how well the points will work for picot joining. Let us know!
ReplyDeleteBahahaha more shuttles! You are going to be turned into a shuttle!
ReplyDeleteUnknown was me. Husband signed in to my iPad . Man needs his own!
ReplyDeleteI like the mix of greens in this one Diane, more subtle than in some of the other Perfect Quilter threads. It's a bit too fine for my own pleasure though... will make a tiny spinning wheel mat!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour Dianne :)Enjoy your new shuttles...I'm on (another) bobbin kick atm...added a few pretty bone bobbins to my collection.
ReplyDeleteYes of COURSE you need more shuttles, completely understandable.
ReplyDeleteLet me think what colours you may have chosen - I know!! - you bought the whole lot :)
My daughter is bringing some back for me from Canada - Jennifer Titus gave them to Ginny Weathers who gave them to Justine - aren't they all wonderful?
You must have quite the shuttle collection! Lovely thread colour indeed :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, you don't have nearly enough shuttles. You must have the Sunlit!
