As per some requests, a rear view of this chap.
Anyway, the legs are heavily, heavily inspired by (or, another way, 'ripped off from') Will. So, chapeau to him for some great designs.
In Mobile Frame Zero terms, these would be in the scale where a 6ft tall human would equate to 2 bricks + 1 plate in height. Mobile Frame Hangar for thread can be found here.
The all-important stitching parts of a sewing machine. My mother-in-law's ancient Singer.

When we moved, I no longer had this nice "behind the door" spot for the thread rack so I cut it in half and it now sits on the work table behind my embroidery machine. It originally held embroidery, serger and regular sewing thread as well as a few spray cans. In its new form, it only holds embroidery thread.
The new version can be seen here:

The fraying must be from the cheap Wal-Mart thread - in fact, this was in a sewing kit I got from Wally World for like $ 1.19. Needles, thread, scissors, yeah, the whole bit ... I'm confident that it's of utmost quality ...
The funky background color (it is actually white - but I kinda like this) must be from the LED flashlight I used for illumination.
Can't buy grandmas old sterling silver thread snippers and a 100 plus year old quilt made by a great great grandmother. Coats and Clark's cotton thread still on the old wooden spools. All priceless.
Recently I swapped some fabrics for colorful threads and zippers. My husband had to add two additional rows. And now I've got even more wonderful rainbow:)
With a backdrop of quiet winter, the sign of spring blooms bring promises of life anew.

Rectangular table mat I made in 2004. It has over 100 palm frond leaves. The border was not part of the pattern; I added it to keep the leaf ends from turning up.
Made as an added extra for a swap from the scraps of the cushion I made for the PTS4.
Some thread sketching on top.
Just an interesting shadow that I happened to see.
Added a texture layer of threaded paper to take the thread thing to a different level.
Captured while out for a walk on the River St bridge to Lemieux Island last night. Taken hand held, but I might have to go back with a tripod someday and see what can be done. Nice target of opportunity. With no clouds, the sky was orange for all of about 3-4 minutes and then a duller blue/black.
