Little Gems Quilt top and Thread Rack

I have been working on some projects for my PIF and for some swaps that I have joined, so I haven't had alot to show you all lately... But I did get this little quilt top finished today. It is called Little Gems, the free pattern is here, from twiddletails.com The fabrics are not my usual style, but I just couldnt resist this time. They just make me happy... :o)

And another thing that made me happy today... :o) Jim made me a 4-shelf thread rack! We have these for sale on our Country Scrap Quilts site, with 2 swiveling shelves. But I have *alot* of thread (I do machine embroidery too) so I needed more than two shelves! (I actually have an ugly 100-spool rack, because I have so much thread, but it is now in my sewing closet, to hold most of my thread, with this new rack holding the colors I use the most...) This rack is really handy because you can tilt the shelves out and back, to get your thread out. If you need a new thread rack, maybe you can take a peek and see if you want Jim to make you one, too. He can make them in any size.... :o)
