Always plenty of thread to choose from in our house. These are the oldest reels I could find, left over from previous generations... given a vintage mono feel.

Taken for Looking Close on Friday theme: Spools of thread

HLCoF and 50/100 in monochrome

Make compassion the cotton, contentment the thread,

modesty the knot and thruth the twist.

This is the sacred thread of the soul;

if you have it, then go ahead and put it on me.

(Guru Nanak)

Thanks for views, faves and comments! ;-)

Diving into my sewing box again today for pink embroidery thread.

HLCoF!

You are my golden thread ♥

We don't accomplish anything in this life alone...and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads from one to another that creates something.

Just a small collection of my wife's embroidery threads.

Thread the needle, something that seems to get more difficult with each passing year. It was miserable outside so I decided to shoot a little macro inside.

When my husband's mom passed away several years ago, she left behind a tin with some sewing items. This thread is one of the items. I have never seen a spool of thread with two strands like this, so found it interesting. I wonder if it may have been used for embroidery. She never sewed much, but possibly her mother did.

I placed the thread on the back side of a small quilted wall hanging that I made...a bee printed shirting fabric was used for the backing.

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)

The Macro Monday theme for 1/30 is screw. This choice fits the three parameters of the theme for MM. It also has garnered the most views and faves. I like the other three for totally different reasons, so I think I’ll dither for a bit before choosing.

Btb, I had an incredibly difficult time getting any of these to post. I finally discovered a work around but I’m hoping that my iPhone and Flickr app learn how to play nicely together again— SOON

This petal was caught on a single spider web thread and was blowing in the wind.

This is looking from north to south. Thanks for looking.

This was a little bonus. During the latter part of our descent from Wild Boar Fell the whine of a pair of 158 units could be heard making their way uphill towards the nearby summit of His Gill. 158 870 and 158 794 form the 2H93 Carlisle to Leeds service.

I was happy to finish this piece. The method is called "thread painting" and I can see many more projects using it to applied appliqué pieces.

On summer sweet.

For Macro Monday - March 16, 2020 - Needle and Thread

Week 10 of 52 weeks challenge

In the Tulsa Botanic Garden...

In July 1984 on Wyoming’s Sherman Hill, a westbound Union Pacific grain train waits at Dale Junction, Wyoming, on Track 3, as an eastbound reefer train sits over on Track 1. Crossing over from Track 1 to Track 2 is a hot westbound led by a DDA40X and two SD40-2s, with the head end brakemen from both stopped trains on the ground making an inspection of the train threading the needle.
