~Question~

How many bobbins does it take to sew a Schnibble project?
Answer in a bit~

I caved and joined Facebook, but please, please don't send me any friend links or anything yet because I have a huge problem. Somehow I ended up with 2 accounts and I can't get into either one! LOL :-) This is probably why it took me so long to even try to register. I have no idea what I'm doing most times! ~I'm techno-challenged! LOL :-)) I have an email into the 'team' and maybe it will work out... or not. But at least I tried. Right? ;-)

I've been spending a little time in the cottage working on my Schnibble Paganini and that question kept popping into my head~ kind of like the number of licks it takes to get a Tootsie Roll pop~ remember that one?

Well, the answer I came up with~~

Answer: One more than you have wound! :-)
I had 3 little seams to go. :-/ LOL

Hope y'all are having a happy Thursday!

Well being the longarmer I am was going to say depends on the weight of thread...thinner less bobbins. You humor me!

Come on! Is that all you're gonna show of your work in progress? Tease.

I resisted Facebook forever...until recently and I'm still not sure I like it.

Carol said...

I think that's the bobbin rule...never quite enough! LOL!

Diane said...

the question is how long did you sew before you realized you had run out of bobbin thread???? I seem to go for a while, embarrassing when at a stitch all day and my neighbor notices before me!! :)

I can relate to that Sandy, lol! I'm still waiting on my Paganini pattern so I'm spending my time playing with my puppies :^)

Shame on me, but I'm so glad to see this happens to others too! I was sitting the other night wondering how many blocks do you sew without bobbin thread before you notice? Kinda the tootsie roll center question, again ... :) Bridget, I'm a FB'r too. Newbie myself, so would love to be friends with fellow quilters/bloggers :) ... find me at wendyfinlay. ~hugs~

I've just started on my Paganini quilt but I want to do the year of little quilts this year. I love the fabric you chose... I made a quilt for my kitchen wall with the pack this spring.

Thanks for finding my blog & for the T's & P's today. :)

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
