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:)
Baseball balls someone left for free in the lobby of my building. I've never played the sport. But it reminded me of the good times spent on our school field playing Catch.
I actually finished this today, but the sun had gone down and I have a project for it, so I will try and share the completed project tomorrow! More blogged here.
The pattern is Toast BFFs and was created by the talented Amanda and her talented friend Ahsleigh and can be found here: The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery.
"With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread"

The surface of the rose is worked in various shades of green. The golden leaves are stitched over with beige thread, but I might need to redo that part, as I'm not entirely happy with it.
This has to be my slowest project, lots of quilting and stuffing in thread works. At first I was a bit worry about the result because this project requires very good quilting skills. As a result, I need to slowly quilt this one. Yahoo !!! Finally finally !!!^^
Yet another selfportrait for that same assignment, except this one is sewn with thread! Into the paper! It took forever and I do not know if it was worth it!

Ever since I was a little girl I liked to sew. Even before I started school I was attempting to make doll's clothes on my mother's treadle sewing machine. When I left school I trained to be a Home Science teacher and I originally taught sewing and cooking and their related fields. I made most of the clothes for myself and the children. Later my hobby was 'applique' which I was almost as obsessed with as I now am with photography. I designed and made tops for women which I sold through a local boutique. These shiny threads are a remnant of those days. Now I only sew when I have to. No time really!
Doily designed by Kathryn White. It's in the booklet Annie's Hooked on Crochet! April 2008.
I used Cebelia crochet thread and a size 8 hook
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.
