The red and white ones caught on in the 1930s through the 1950s because a colorfast red thread was created, which didn't bleed in the wash. Funny, I had clothes that bled in the 60s and 70s.
Exploring my grandmother's button box, I found a curved needle and a metal button and started playing.

This was one I didn’t use for MM. It took me longer to use the tool and get it thru the eye of the needle than it did to actually take the shot!! Port old eyes
Who knew these luscious little rings of colors were available for appliqué? I'm beginning a new technique- photos to show work soon.
After noticing the interesting shadow a piece of floss made under artificial light, I experimented with white thread on white paper. I rotated the paper in the morning sun and watched the shadows change. I tried a couple with black thread, and liked those better, then tried colored thread. It was so interesting to see how the shadows looked so different than the string that made them.
"Threads" by Patti Deters. Vibrant strands of yellow, orange, pink, and blue thread are stretched and interwoven, creating a striking pattern resembling a woven fabric. The string lines flow boldly across the image, giving a sense of dynamic movement.

Ha Giang, Vietnam. Those cloaks and colors of a different world, enveloping all of those thoughts and sentiments that begin to unfurl. It's a sight to behold, those times of old, right before your eyes as they unfold. It is lovely, as the joy you see, to be there with this sight and have it as you leave.

They are two brothers getting the auspicious threads on their shoulders, which well be there with them life long, of course to be replaced from time to time.
Our Daily Challenge - Order
Really battled to come up with something tonight.
Made to order?
Just saw that I misread the challenge as 'order' and not 'in order' - sorry!
A ripple of bright blue threads through this galaxy like a misshapen lake system. The foreground of this image is littered with nearby stars with their gleaming diffraction spikes. A keen eye can also spot a few other galaxies that, while masquerading as stars at first glance, reveal their true nature on closer inspection.

Part of Rae Lakes stopped me with this view. I loved how these water plants created an illusion of threads of hair spreading across the body of water reflecting the backdrop of the pines and Painted Lady and Glen Pass far behind them. The tranquility certainly called for a break and appreciation of what was before my eyes, but I still had to make it to the campground. The rain clouds traveling over the peaks looked quite uninviting.

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”
― Chief Seattle
These flat strips, about 30" long, are fashioned with an eye on each end and an eye in the middle. As you face the loom, they are installed vertically in a line, going the width of the fabric being woven. A thread passes through the center eye of each heddle. In a simple weave, heddles raise or lower every other thread in a weave with each pass of the shuttle. A wall-sized peg board in the back of the mill held a supply of various lengths.
Sometimes the hardest part of sewing for me is getting the needle threaded. This time I did without any help. Thanks goes to Diana for some inspiration. Taken with a Canon 60mm USm Macro lens. Type L for a better view.

I found this leaf hanging on my window pane by a very thin spider's web, a lone, clinging survivor of the storms that came through last night. It's been here all day.
