The mill at the rear of the site was just as good as the first one we set foot in. As we darted across the waste ground towards it i snapped this action shot..
I made a wrapped thread detail....woohoooo what fun! And, then, I decided ...hey...this could be a button loop, so, I stitched on two lovely shell buttons.... wrapped my initial two threads probably a bit too loosely around one button for length....and carried on with wrapping. I will probably go ahead and do the second loop... try to get them the same length...and then, move the buttons a bit further away .. or not...I'll see what it all looks like when I finish my second 'wrapping'...more FK and other detailing to come at the base...
EEC 2013 (Embroider, Embellish, Create)
Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.
A needle and thread can make fabulous designs to make the eyes wonder. This needle has the power to sew their life too.
The photo was taken from the Internship Venue of ASAP.

One of the prizes on her Easter hunt was a sewing kit for making fancy hair pieces. She learned to thread the needle, make a start knot, stitch, gather, make a square knot, and make a finish knot.
Empicoris rubromaculatus, common name of this species is thread bug. A cosmopolitan assassin (Reduviidae). Found in my kitchen, Hobart, Tasmania. ~4.7mm bodylength.
This reduviid belongs in the subfamily Emesinae, all members of which tend towards thin bodies and very elongated limbs. Thus collectively called thread-legged bugs. Their forlegs are raptorial and not used for walking.

This embroidery thread came in a bag of vintage zippers from the thrift store. anyone interested in swapping some fabric for these? I don't embroider so I won't use these. There are 57 different pieces (not necessarily different colors) and some blank cards.
would love a FQ of Momo wonderland (like the butterfies). or try me if you are interested!
Antique Drawn-Thread Lace sampler that I found with my grandmother's things. She didn't sew so it must have been made in the late 1800's. Very fine fabric. Piece is a 5"square.
365 Days in Colour - 22/31 light blue. Spools of thread on a "new" spool caddy someone gave me. It came with the thread.
52 week project - week 4
Got a nice bag of these threads in a charity shop recently. Nice colours, design and nostalgic for a time when we used to actually mend clothes

i crocheted these shawls out of quilting thread a couple of years ago and then never got around to blocking them or listing them till a customer asked about them recently, so i pulled them out to take pictures. i'd forgotten just how many i made! :lol: i'll be blocking them all this weekend and then listing them on etsy soon. if you are interested in any before that my email addy is in my profile.
All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.
