How many more stitches can I get out of this thread?
Don't you just hate when you're stitching away, nearing the end of a section/color/band/etc., and you notice that the thread left in your needle is growing short way too fast? Then you end up with something like this:
Another short length of thread later and the prework is done on Potpourri, in plenty of time for my class with Margaret Bendig next week.
Now I'll put this aside until the class starts!

Argh! You have my sympathy - that happens to me all the time. Two or three stitches left, and no way will the thread make it!
This looks like it will be a magnificent project - the kind that you can never get bored with because of all the little sections! It'll be fun to watch it develop!
Good to know that I am not the only one who tries to stretch that thread for a few more stitches.
Can't wait to see what goes in all those squares.
Well done!
That is soooo cool!
That happens to me constantly Jeanne and then I try to squeeze those last stitches out and end up having a hard time securing the thread. It's Murphy's Law of stitching I guess. This looks like an ambitious piece - looking forward to seeing it develop.
The real bummer comes, of course, when you've absolutely no more of that thread left!=)
