Conversation with a Needle

My needle has picked up some bad habits doing wild appliqué. I said to it, "Now, we're going to do straight vertical and horizontal lines within the rectangular patches to create a contrasting background for the wild appliqué." It nodded assent and went for 10 stitches, then it took off in another direction with a mind of its own, doing nothing but curves.



Sassy needle!

You can just be happy with a needle like that ! Good thinking, and very to the point !(as a matter of speaking .... ;-) !)

Looks like that needle has been taking design classes on the sly... ;-)

There must be a subversive group of needles spreading freedom around the world. They appear to have the power to hypnotize the stitcher so that she mindlessly meanders across the cloth. I know from my own experience...coming to and wondering how that got on my quilt! Love it...
