That reminds me of a recurring nightmare I used to have when I was a teenager. Weird. Your story was hilarious!
Along this "thread thread", I managed to break a bobbin that I had just filled the other day. One of the sides just popped off, just as it stopped filling on the machine. No way to save that thread. :(
I was actually thinking as I read that this could be fun ;)
Too funny!
I also got a kick out of MM - that is Pat's nickname for her hubby and it stands for Monkey Man.
I'm glad everyone enjoyed our "tangled bobbin thread" story. We did finally see the humor in it after all was said and done. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't run outta 'black' thread - our web was 'black thread'!!
The funniest part for me was the way MM (MM for me is "My Mr.") kinda reeled in my fancy dry twigs, like he was 'fishing for 'em'!! His fleece slippers kinda looked like reindeer with crooked antlers! :icon_woot: He's forgiven me for making him stand still to 'unthread' him and I did apologize cause it wasn't his fault!
Sandy's discovery of the Tangled Web filming is not too far off - we sure were in a tangled web!! Sylvia is right - seems MM is 'wound up in my new hobby' like it or not!! And Sylvia is spot on, this quilt for sure needs a name. This particular quilt is for my "Drama Queen" GD, Sarah, who is 16 and a quilt with a name and a story is right up her alley. I'll probably find a name for each one, since as a newbie at quilting doing '4 Quilts for 4 GDs' has been quite an experience and each one has a story to tell.
Today I'm starting #4, saving binding and washing 'em all for last 'n I just may pull this off - haven't slept much and every day, most all day, even to the wee hours has been devoted to this project. MM has been doing the cooking 'cause I just don't have the time!! See why I need to stay on his 'good side'??
So, when they're all done I'll post pics - I just love these quilts, hope my GDs do, too! :icon_sleep: LOL
Snip, Snip - don't you just hate to loose a whole bobbin full of thread?? I can't believe how much thread I'm using quilting 4 quilts and then to loose - not half used, not just a little, but the whole darn bobbin full!! :icon_crazy: "B"Quote:

But then we would't have any 'thread fun' in the kitchen!! MM asks if I think we need a new, bigger house??? We're in an 'adult community' so no 'quilting addition' allowed!! But seriously, I have a plan - adding a sewing armoire in my bedroom and clearing and using a 2nd small walk-in closet for tools, supplies, etc. - after the Holidays!! Gotta finish 4 Quilts for 4 GDs in time for Christmas!! :icon_eek:Quote:
