Hand-painted orange, yellow and brown cotton thread and dark brown thread crocheted in a monkey-wrench pattern, then made stiff with fabric hardener.
One of the reasons I like oriental markets is that you can find anything there. Green threads, cream threads, rubber band - what else?
larger piece of thread work, this time with snippets of organza and loose weave cotton fabric included in the stitches.
Stitched on 28 count linen using WDW and Sampler Threads along with Just Another Button Company buttons.
My thread collection is gradually dwindling and will need to be restocked soon. I plan on show casing these beauties in the quilting of my paint chip quilt - the quilt has 36 colors, and I have nearly that many! Hopefully, it will work out. blogged here: shecreatesanoutlet.blogspot.com/2012/06/wip-wednesday-tab...
I bought these threads on holiday on a tiny French market. I've never heard of the brand. It's a cotton thread, twisted 2-ply and it looks really nice! Have you ever heard of this thread? And embroidered with it? Tell me what you think!

Aurifil Thread mosaic for the Aurifil Make-A Designer-Collection competition on Lily's Quilts. The title is a blatant ripoff of Lynne's first mosaic (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden), in part because the song is a total earworm now, and in part because the colors I chose remind me of a rainy garden, muted but still beautiful. Believe it or not, the first color I chose was the top right, 5015. It's a difficult color but it just called to me. I made several thread palettes, but this is by far my favorite! I chose 50wt thread because I find it to be the most versatile, good for piecing, quilting or applique.
I felt a need to stash some thread. I was actually completely out of white thread! So, I ordered 10 spools to keep the twitching down.
This was my first major attempt at free motion embroidery. I did it on a felt background that I had needle felted different wool onto so that I wouldn't have to cover the who piece with thread.
I really enjoyed doing this.
Paid 75 cents for this box of silk crochet thread. Some of them are from the Heminway Silk Co in Watertown, CT.
We purchased these in Dexter, NY, a small town on lake Ontario close to the Canadian border.
My first attempt at thread painting a table runner, using a panto as the bones for the quilting.

A lady threading flowers for garlands women use in their hair, still early evening so she probably has some more to be done.
