I am making progress on my tablecloth..it is a thread eater and a time sucker..I am on ball number 6 and according to the pattern I am halfway done... Tell me this...how many people do you know that have enough balls of thread of the same dye lot within their stash..to be able to make a tablecloth on a whim...I am such a hoarder...shoot you can't go in a store and get enough balls of thread of the same dyelot and plan to make something this large...I am thinking it is gonna take close to 15 balls, maybe a little more to complete this thing....I am such a hoarder..well it helps I am my own supplier..hee..hee.... Hey if you ever find yourself needing large amounts of the same dyelot in thread..get in touch I might be able to help you out....I have attached pics of progress so you can see it. Hopefully I will have it done in the next few weeks..right now it takes just about an hour to go around it..the more stitches like the next row..has dc all the way around is gonna take longer..so in a little over 4 hours I will have added another inch...I can't think about it in that way or I will never get it done....I should have done a quicker pattern...now I have too much time and thread into it...I just want feel like I have completed something you know the feeling..
Ok here are the pics..hope you all have a good week, look for the blessings because they are there..you just have to look a little more sometimes...thanks to all of you who take time to read my thoughts and to those of you who keep me sane and give me the encouragement to finish this project..thanks we all need a good kick in the pants sometimes or a few words of encouragement, or sometimes just a laugh or two...and you all bring me that...hugs and blessings to you all..

Ah, gotta love those days when the most important thing you have to do is grow your hooker butt. Too cold here, too, to go outside. Warmer than there (32) but still too cold.
The tablecloth looks great so far. It'll be worth it in the end. Just keep hooking and stay warm :-)
Your tablecloth is so awesome! I can't wait to see it. :)
Blessings always sweet friend.
Your tablecloth is looking fantastic! Keep up the good work! :D
I love you sweet sister. Love reading your blogs.
I love you sweet sister. Love reading your blogs.
Wow I can't wait to see after you block it, it's going to be so awesome! Go hooker butt!
That's certainly going to be a beautiful heirloom Vikki. Stay in and stay warm. :)
15!!!!! Wow...way to go! =)
Beautiful as usual! I am most envious of you because you perservere and get it done. I can't even push myself on big projects because if I do I dig my heels in and we know where that gets us. Stay warm friend. We have another bout of cold, freezing precip headed this way. Nothing like you but this is the south and we are wimps, not used to such weather. :o)
I believe Thread Connoisseur would be a better name, or Keeper of Thread, see it is all in the name, now you sound like someone who is very important in the Thread industry.

Looking good!! When I've made a tablecloth...I only look to the next row..then the next, and the next....that way I don't get overwhelmed with the project!
Brr! Stay warm! I would have to save my pattern books along with my photo albums if there was a fire. I had a house fire in 1986 and was able to salvage my photo albums with a little damage. Love your tablecloth, I have a hoard of thread but not enough of the same size, dye lot,etc.
Wow that is coming on amazing!!
I know it's a lot of work but you are going to be SO glad you stuck with it when it's finished, you really are.
Can't wait for the next picture now
:)
