How long will this cone last?

Yes, I am wondering how long this 33,000 yards of Bottom Line, white thread will last?? This is one color of thread I use on almost all of my quilts? If I am not using "White" I use "Off White" so...


I guess I should show you how much off white thread I have used since October of last year.


I think the amount of thread used is more dramatic in person. But if you ask me It looks like about half of the off white spool has been used. I never thought I would use this much thread in my lifetime. Looks like about a years worth of thread. :) I better get busy quilting.

Now what I have been up to lately....


This is Lisa up front with this months block. She is giving the demo for how the block goes together. This was our first class for the "Redwork Revival" quilt. Lisa and I have been getting ready for this for a couple weeks, praying for red and white fabric to make a beautiful BOM with all the ladies that signed up for out class at the Parkland Parish Quilt Co. I have to say things went real well, and I think we had a good time.
So... why not peak at next block for the Redwork Revival Quilt (this is block two) ...


This is a block Lisa named Applesauce, Marti Michelle named it Applause. The story behind the new name is quite funny, I will save it for a slow day.
I have had the pleasure of making this block about 3 times now.. not counting the 2 times Lisa has been lucky enough to make this block. I am pretty sure I have all the directions down pretty good. I just have to rewrite a part so I can address the directional fabric that we had to use. At first I did not like this block, but the more I look at it from a distance, I think it has grown on me?? We shall see how I feel after a good nights sleep.

If I thought things were busy now, I am about to get a lot busier... I am not too sure how I will do it, but I have to get a few big quilts finished. I would also like to get a few of my quilts done, and I have to continue to sleep sometime?
At this time I am looking for a dog walker and a maid. I have given up cleaning and walking the dogs. Thank god for Dan or I would be in the marked for a cook or on a diet.

Well I have made this post while on the treadmill so. I have finished my walk and I need to go try to polish off some white thread.

thanks for following along...
