My Kingdom for Chrysanthemum {#1940}

Embroidery Library design

I have been wanting to finish up the embroidery for my storybook quilts, but I was running dangerously low on Mettler Poly Sheen Chrysanthemum #1940. Machine embroidery uses a huge amount of thread even for little projects.
Could not find it locally!!!!

Honest, I had to get a little more thread....Red Rock Threads have a $5 flat shipping fee.
 Sew now I have one more new embroidery design to stitch for the first storybook quilt, then 3 repeats for the second quilt. Then I'll at least be done with the embroidery for both quilts.

But before I do anything else, Humphrey really, really wants to go for a walk. It's supposed to be almost 50 F today!
Color Me Quilty!

  2. He really needed that walk. Almost as much as you needed that thread. Almost. I hope he enjoyed it almost as much as you enjoyed the embroidery too.

  3. We have had temps of almost 80F here! I had to laugh when I saw you ran out of thread. I have been trying to use up all my old threads so I can go try out some new lines of threads. Unfortunately I started quilting a project not realizing I had very little of a particular color of green! In the process of ripping out all of the threads, taking so much longer than I imagined, now that is a FMQ experiment gone wrong! I love how the castle turned out, it is super cute!!!
