Let the Game Begin

I've lined up my handwork projects for the Super Bowl tonight.  I don’t have a dog in this race, as my hubby likes to say, but I can at least keep him company and maybe catch some entertaining commercials. 

Close, oh so very close.  It’s a red letter sewing day when I finally empty one of these cones.

I'm linking up with Kathy's Slow Stitching Sunday.

Just Checking In...

Plaid Obsession is a flimsy.  Once the quilting is finished I’ll post a picture.  It’s hard to believe that after making two quilts out of these fabrics, I still have so much of it left.  Is the plaid fairy making deposits while I sleep?

Here is a picture of my most recent splurge.  I was so happy with the Omni thread I used recently, that I bought a color chart and three more small cones from Superior’s try me special.   I also got the color chart for Superior's Bottomline thread.  I love how much I can get on a bobbin, which greatly reduces the number of times I have to refill it.  Now I can check colors without worrying that my computer's monitor might not be giving me a true representation.

I have a growing stack of half square triangles that will become part of the blocks for the Jacob’s Ladder Quilt Along.  I decided to play with them a little.
