An Old Friend

I was sorting a stack of quilts and found Water Works, a quilt I made in 2011 via prompts on someone’s blog. I haven’t seen it since we moved in Jan 2021!

I beat feet to hang it on the “short” wall in our Cape Cod style upstairs room that is my quilting studio.

Ah, I do love this piece…….and speaking of loving something, I am using Scanfil thread in my sewing machine for the first time. I used it for appliqué this summer and for both uses, I am loving it. I bought and used some Connecting Threads thread and, while it is 50wt (meaning it takes 50 kilometers to weigh 1 kilogram), it is thicker than either Aurifil or Scanfil. I have some Missouri Star branded thread that I will try next. Just thought I’d see what I think of the different brands. I have been using Aurifil exclusively for 10 or more years. So far, I think Scanfil edges out Aurifil. It is organic and comes on wooden spools 😊.

Happy piecing, Cherie
