Sigh....the never ending yo-yo's. They will all be worth it in the end once I get the projects done and get paid for them. Just really hoping the gal doesn't change her mind between now and then.
It's so hard to work with the invisible thread to put them together. It doesn't tie well, it comes out of the needle too easy, and it's hard to even see to get into the needle.
This is how far I am on just one of the valances so far and I have the table runner yet to go.
I'm going back to just making the yo-yo's for now. I still have a lot of those to get made from the fabric that is in my box. I want the same varieties of fabrics in all 3 pieces.
Do you think I can finish these projects before the Thanksgiving deadline??

I think you can. Six months has a lot of hours in it.

@celticeagle Yeah, and I have a problem with consistently working on just one project until it's done.

I am sure you will get them done if you keep pushing hard.

Pushing is exactly what I have to do to get it done....and taking the box with me everywhere I go to work on them on any down time at all.

Long term projects are hard. Is this for our Iowa friend? Or someone else.

I don't remember where the lady is from. She messaged me in Etsy for the special order after seeing the little Christmas table topper that I have for sale there.

If I used it double instead of single it wouldn't come out of the needle...but if you buy it new it's $7.99 a spool, so doubling isn't an option for my pocketbook. Not that I've bought any new as I've been fortunate to get it in with boxes of other thread and such.

If the money is right I am sure you will, I tried these 25 years ago and they got on my nerves so bad I stopped and did a plain squares patchwork quilt top, I really need to quilt it.
