stitchin cricket Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I'm on the verge of completing a customer quilt on my Millie and I need another cone of Superior So Fine 50wt #403 Putty. I thought I had enough left on the cone to finish the quilt, but it turns out I was wrong. I've tried to find a similar color, but it just doesn't sit well with me to use anything other than what I started with. This quilt is going to be auctioned off at a local church in order to raise money to renovate their kitchen. I have donated my services for this cause and the lady I'm quilting it for is going to donate the amount I would normally charge to her church to go toward the renovations. A lot of people are going to see the quilting so I want to do it right. I'm trying to find a quilt shop that sales this thread locally in Charlotte, NC or a surrounding area of NC but no luck so far. If there are any long armers in this area and you would be willing to sell me a cone of this thread, I would be so grateful. If not, I'm going to have to order it and wait on it to come in. A lesson learned here for me is to always make sure you have enough thread color for the quilt your're working on. Happy Quilting, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Deming Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I wonder if Sheridan Carter (APQS store) in Hendersonville NC has some. She's still open today, I think. (828) 808-0065. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qltnbe Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Quilted Joy in Louisville KY carries that thread. I am sure if Angela has that color she would get it to you quicker than if ordering it from Superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchin cricket Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks ladies!! Sharon, I called Sheridan and ordered the color I needed and several others today. If I had the time today, I would have traveled the hour and a half it takes me to get to her and picked it up today. I should be able to finish the customers quilt Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. I know I will make sure going forward that when a cone gets down to the half way mark, I'll be ordering another one, particularly one that I use a lot. It's so frustrating when you're on a roll only to be stopped because you run out of thread, a real bummer. Thanks again ladies, I appreciate your responses.
