again, Kelly said easy peasy and they were. Good thing I got these done because the next step is posted on Kelly’s blog!!I also decided to stop pouting about having to rip out rows on my pumpkin quilt. Stitched them back in and added
a few more rows. Now only ten rows left. I’m seeing the light on this one! Before I left for quilt camp I had ordered a BIG cone of Aurifil thread from here. Started using it at quilt camp (with my handy dandy cone thread holder), and my thread kept breaking. Very frustrating. Remembering a tip from my friend Deb about taping a safety pin to the side of the machine and threading the thread through the hole
…and YIPEE, problem solved. Must be an angle thing that I don’t understand, but no more breaking thread. If you have a chance head on over to Carol’s blog and see the beautiful FW blocks she has going. So tempting…..but I have way too many UFO’s around here!!! Happy Thursday everyone.

Your stars look awesome! And so does your pumpkin - good for you on ripping them out and getting them back on.
That's a great tip on the thread - sometimes the simple things work best!
Love those stars! That pumpkin is wonderful! It's going to be amazing. Thanks for the thread tip. I'll remember that one. Love Aurifil thread!
Look at your progress - woohoo!!! Way to go! That pumpkin is fabulous.
The stars look wonderful with the red polka dots. Ripping is not fun but it's looking great.
Oh I love your pumpkin quilt! You've done a great job on it! Love your quilt along blocks too! :0)
Glad you solved your thread problem. I find Aurifil generally too fine and fragile for my taste. (I know I'm in the minority.) I want my quilts to stay together! :-)
Love the blocks - I use the safety pin threading system too when using my cone thread - on both my machines - works great.
I love the simple things quiltalong blocks...they are just sooo pretty!
Thanks for the great tip! I'll remember that one! Cheers
CA-UTE!!
