I know ya' all think I've left the country to hide away with all the new thread, designs and stabilizers that arrived here at IHAN....but I didn't.
Yes, Floriani...Floriani Thread, Floriani Stabilizers, and Floriani Software galore....where is the army who is going to inventory all this?
I have almost finished checking in the order and then I'll have the joy of arranging it in a fashion I can easily see and find the threads to fill orders.
Just look at all those colors....YES I have every single one of them...and not just one spool of each either....nope...I have at least 5 of each one...the world is looking so colorful right now :)
While I'm buried in thread..... I had to speed clean the house because I had invited some friends for lunch and the guest of honor was Lyn Gladwin, the gal from Australia who visited our guild meeting last month.
I've not hosted a lunch in I don't know how long....really...it has been years and I have no idea why I don't do it more often because it was such a treat. There were 7 of us and some of the gals brought some quilts to show. I'm only going to post Lyn's quilts because I need to get back to all that thread!!
I really liked the way she cut her fabrics...and the bead is fun too.
I thought the quilting was interesting...the border and how she lined up each of the stars...I just know it would not be that straight had I been in charge...yikes.
This is a quilt Lyn made for her new daughter in law. It is different than the one I posted about previously. Unfortunately, the light from the window takes away from the beauty of this quilt.
I know it is Wednesday and I am working on an E-Notion IQ post....that will be coming soon ....I'm roller skating as fast as I possibly can...I promise :)
Smiles,
Kelly
Oh what beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteIf you have to be buried alive, at least it's in quilting stuff! Oh what fun to open boxes and see all the new stuff and it's not even Christmas yet!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Shelley...what a way to go! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to hear what you think about the new thread. Is it comparable to Aurifil?
ReplyDeleteLike Shelley said ... there are loads worse things to be buried in, huh? If you need help, I'll be happy to come dig you out!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I was making cupcakes and was thinking, Where is my friend Kelly, I even came to the computer twice to email you and twice, by the time I got on and answered a few emails forgot why I came to the computer in the first place. Glad you are alive.....
ReplyDeleteWow what amazing quilts - I'm totally in love with the one she made her son! Kelly, you get the best mail ever, I'd die if I saw a semi pull up to my door, lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat beauty! And you're so right - having lunch for friends is a treat that we don't give ourselves nearly often enough. I think I'll plan a lunch for mine during the holidays! blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a ton of great looking thread. I wish I had all of that, but then again I'd have a hard time finding a place to put it at the moment.
ReplyDeletelol Oh, to be buried in colorful thread! You know....they say that when you've eaten too much, you should exercise, so if you've got too much thread maybe you should quit cleaning and start quilting... Oh, wait! Maybe we ALL should start quilting, from the size of that pallet! lol
ReplyDeleteThe quilts that we got to see from the luncheon yesterday were beautiful. Thanks for inviting us to be there remotely.
Good Grief, woman! Now you know what "palletized" means! Oh, yes, to be buried alive in thread, oh, so colorful thread. Must be what it's like to live inside a rainbow! I can only imagine!! If it were only a bit warmer there, I could just hop on my pogo stick (or more likely, engage Driver) and pop up there to help you out! Of course, I'd have to try out some of those CDs and maybe a few spools of thread or something...just for quality control, you know. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, I'd better get back to work, my own self....people are wanting Christmas presents made - aren't I lucky!?
Oh, but I'd love a window view like that!!! Australia is certainly on our list of must-see places!! Thanks for sharing all the goodness with us!!
Thanks for having this giveaway. My mother's sight is declining and the light would be perfect to assist her when reading/working.
