I am not quite sure which is more scary – opening a new reel of 5000 Moon thread – or realising that the last one did not seem to last all that long considering how big the reel is.

I tend to do all the inside and under stitching ion either of these 2 basic colours – and only match the pattern fabric when I am doing top stitching.  I have found that it cuts down on the quantity of threads you get through – and helps me keep them neat and tidy.

So – sitting – ready cut – on the bench at the moment are loads of sections to make ball toys for your pals

– and I am going to break into these bad boys!
