While picking out the Signature variegated thread, I really began to question my choice of it on this little top in the first place. So, when I got it all set up to quilt again, I decided to switch to the Rainbows Autumn. I did some stitching on my practice sandwich, tension was perfect, and did a row on the top. It looks so much prettier than the Signature did! I really think the Signature was too heavy and stood out too much, where the Rainbows complements it without stealing the show. I only did one row, as I was already tired, but now I look forward to finishing it. Perfect tension on this row, too. Oh well, live and learn.
Sometimes things just work out like they were supposed to all along

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.
