thanks for ring welcomes and...
I joined stash buster ring ...and really appreciate the welcomes I have received-many thanks! I have been trying to check out the blogs of fellow stash busters...have enjoyed all of them to date...
I worked on hand quilting and made a fair amount of progress after running out of yarn for my knitting project.
I had an expert knitter as our hostess and wanted to be sure to ask her for help further along in my project. But, I failed to bring enough yarn to get to an asking point. Because I find using a thimble iresome, I have a pretty sore right index finger now. So, back home-I am pulling the yarn out and carrying on with that for tonight.
My son is also staying with us for the rest of the week- he is bunking in the fabric room. No worries as I cleared enough floor space he is not in danger of being smothered by bags/boxes of fabric! I am going to have to do some re-organizing before my sewing table will once more be clear for quilting. I also need to fix the backing problem. And tomorrow I have a job interview. I hate looking for work, but, I hate being broke more.
I am happy to be back home and able to tackle the sewing room mess and dive back into Codys quilt. I figure I will still find plenty of time for quilting this week...

Is your finger sore from knitting? 2 things to try - use 1 size smaller knitting needle and knit much looser so your stitches will slip easily (as always, make a quick guage to check the size). At first it does take a bit of concentration to keep your knitting evenly loose, but I find it much easier. Or, try putting a bandade on your finger with a piece of foam under the pad - the kind of foam you can get at CVS for corns on your feet.
Good luck.
Cheers!

That's the catch-22 of having a job. It takes time away from the stuff I love to do, like quilting and dog training ... but if I didn't have a job I wouldn't be able to afford fabric and entry fees! Dang!!
Good luck with the interview! We'll be rootin' for ya' :)
no, my finger was sore from hand quilting because I did not use my thimble Evelyn. Good ideas-thanks!
Appreciate the comments-thanks
laurie and jeanne
Good luck on the interview! I hope it goes well for you!

I hate using a thimble so I know what you mean about sore fingers. I have found that I can tolerate those little stick-on pads you can get at most fabric stores.
