Out O' Thread Blues

No wordless Wednesday post today, because I have words. Frustrated words because, as I was putting together my barn raising red and white Christmas quilt, I ran out of thread. Grrr. And since my credit card info was stolen and we're dealing with that for the second time in a month, I'm without funds to get more thread.

Okay, technically I could drive to the branch in Pullman (there isn't one in Moscow), go inside and make a cash withdrawal, but that would waste even more time.

So, while I sing the "Out O' Thread" Blues, I'm prepping other projects.

Here's what I've accomplished so far:

• prepped the white strips on paper for the rest of my string quilt blocks
• cut the white pieces I need for my red/aqua pinwheel blocks
• cut the rest of the green material for my Christmas tree quilt
• prepped my Christmas stockings - all seven of them!
  

Still left to do, before I can go get that thread:

• prep my Sunkissed quilt
• cut the sashing for my Holiday Hostess quilt
• cut the sashing for my strawberry pinwheel quilt
• prep Laurel's purple quilt for her birthday
• finish prepping Cowgirl Salt Water Taffy quilt (just the girly prints)
• prep Cowboy Nieces and Nephews quilt (just the manly prints)

Then I will earn my trip to the store to buy a truckload of thread so this doesn't happen again for a while! But prepping is great because then I can enjoy the sewing without the fussing around with the rotary cutter every few minutes.
