I thought I was going to run out of thread for the angel's wings, her gown, and the background - so I ordered some more thread.

134 skeins of DMC Pearl Cotton, Size 5. Paid $45 (includes S&H)... so only about 34 cents a skein!!!

I've named this collection "Divine Sweetness" as it was inspired by The Quilted Fish's "Sweet Divinity" collection. I bought yardage of most of the prints in this collection that will be used to decorate my daughter's new bedroom when we move house, and this collection of threads in a 40wt would be perfect to piece, applique, embellish and quilt the cushions, quilt, bunting etc.

Threads combine to form an infinite number of patterns.

Thread gauges and cutting dies. Tools of the trade.

The light box I made from 1/2 PVC pipe works rather well. I used a piece of bed sheet to defuse the light of 3 lamps.

LW goes to work on Sat and I go to garage sales. This time I hit the jackpot and found these Thread cases full of silk thread on wood spools from the 1950's or 60's. I am thrilled.

This is my second (first and last) attempt at thread painting on a quilt. It was done on a small quilt already finished, which pulled everything in. It was fun, but definitely not my forte.

"Threads of life." It is a collection of ancient textiles from Amatlán de los Reyes, Ver. Garments made traditionally in waist loom and commercial entela such as denim, blanket and linen. Hand embroidered with mercerized cotton or satin threads. This collection has more than 18 garments, some correspond to the last century and others are replicas, taken from old photographs. The range of colors and nuances of the embroideries captivate both locals and strangers. His iconography preserves the indigenous feeling and worldview of the Amatecos. The symmetry of their embroideries shows the delicacy and patience that the women of Amatlán had when making their clothing.

Fine crochet threads bought for pennies at local Charity shop.

I just love the idea of string becoming a 3-D structure.

Definitely didn't need to worry about losing the way with all the thread marking the path many pilgrims walked!
