OCD can create great options.

OCD can create great options.



Had to sew today after I had sorting dreams all night. Not sorting thread or fabric but dirty dishes in a huge house where I was working. I was willing to do whatever the "masters" requested but they were my worst enemies for organization of the dishwashers. Then I ended up taking all the glasses from the dishwasher to wash by hand but I was short of dishwashing soap.  Then guests were arriving and the tables needed set. Quite a busy dream and I know how it happened!!!! I woke exhausted and went right back to bed and got up at 11:00 a.m.
I went to the sorting container and happily dug out all the "kiddie" or odd prints. Worked great as these seem to pop out of the stacks of patches. And there were lots of them.



I now have 32 nine-patches of wild and happy prints. And I am still making them. I am also making small stacks of my favorite colors (pinks and browns) and another stack of '30's fabrics.



So my OCD was pleased and my sewing was carefree and happy!
YES...

My 70/3 bobbin thread.

It is not cotton but 100% polyester. It works great but I see no longer sewing time with bobbin fill amount versus my Presencia 60 weight cotton threads that I LOVE and have the entire collection of cones...I stocked up before I retired.
I am not affiliated with Connecting Threads just a happy customer.
