My hubby surprised me with these ear rings that I had favorited on Etsy recently. There are lots of pretty things in that shop.

Mom took me on our annual birthday lunch/fabric shopping outing. My mom is such a generous person! That little yellow polka dot was on clearance for like $6/yard, I totally should have got more than 1/2 a yard!


Yesterday, I started trying to quilt my Croquet quilt but very mysteriously the top thread broke about 4 times in a 25" section and now the thread is catching somewhere and making a big mess. It worked just fine the last time I used it and the only thing I did differently this time was use a different thread (Aurifil) when I usually use gutermann. I quickly gave up but am going to do a thorough investigation on it this morning.

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! What a fun tradition you have with your mom! I want to know where those yellow dots are from, I love them! I just saw a discussion in IG where someone was having alot if thread breaking problems & she finally realized she couldn't quilt with the aurifil. My Bernina dealer always recommends gutterman or mettler.
Happy Birthday! Enjoy your goodies. :)
happy birthday!
hope you get your thread issues sorted soon.
Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a great one this year!
Happy birthday! I use Guterman too. My machines practically vomit if I use Mettler; and I have some Aurifil, but I don't use it much because my (older) Bernina does not seem to have a place to put it and I just don't intend to mess with a detached spool holder.
Your fabric stack is wonderful. I keep meaning to get some of those Domino Dots.
Happy birthday! It seems like your family and friends appreciate you greatly!
Emily , is the Guterman cotton ? which thread weight ? …and which Aurifil weight are you using ?
