Followed these guys (Threads), around with my camera all day. Was meant to be helping them out by doing some filming but photos did a happen. Granted I did some filming but I was more interested in getting some shots. First ever photos i've done like this, i'd say I did ok considering!
This picture was taken for the Daily Challenge - something that starts with the letter 'N'. My first idea was to find household product that said 'New and Improved'. Oddly enough, I couldn't find any. My next idea was that ancient artifact - a newspaper. But I don't have any since I read my papers at the library. So, I went with the needle and thread. It works.

Most of these are pretty old and came from Birmingham's lovely Rag Market - where I sadly no longer visit but Lesley does - thank you : )

While walking Kelsey on a different route yesterday we passed a shop I'd never noticed before, "The Knitting Workshop" on Lincoln Avenue. Never having sewn more than a button on a shirt, its not surprising. But, the riot of colored yarn, thread, buttons, etc. jumped out at me. I went over today with my camera and here's what I found

A pair of Campagnolo Record hubs. These have French freewheel threads (34.7 x 1 mm.). Spacing is 100 mm. front, 120 mm. rear. The vermillion enamel inside the cut-outs must have complimented the c.1970 bike from which these were taken... a racing bike which was built by Rene Herse - which explains that minor attention to detail. But, otherwise, it is simply an extremely smooth Campagnolo hub and many were produced to accept French freewheels intended for use on top quailty French racing bikes.

We are passionate about thread. Thread has become a specialized instrument for creativity and stitch express. It can play a supporting, technical role or be the star of the show. Check out the chart on page 9 of the book Threads – The Basics and Beyond.

The little bee (or whatever) eaters project as of today. It's not finished - the black frame is just for picture purposes ! The padding REALLY is tricky on that one. Blending thread is even more difficult than on the squirrel piece (since there are so MANY colours on these two birds...) I wonder if I can complete it all before deadline (June 27). But hey, you can never stitch too much right ? ;)

The thread is Opera, light yellow, size 10. Crocheted with a Boye size 6 hook.
I made this some time ago so I'll have to search to discover which pattern book it came from. I think it may have been an old issue of Magic Crochet.

I forgot to upload the full thread sketch of my dragon. I used the paper as a stabilizer. On the real thing, I'll use some sort of fusible interfacing, I presume.
A crew member works with one of the permanent cable sets threaded through a bridge tower pylon. The protective white sheath, seen on the left, protects the permanent cables from environmental elements and prevents the cable strands from rattling in the wind. The Marquam Bridge is seen in the background.

When I'm alone
I know I go
I paid in leaves
to the sun
In light of god
I see myself
movieing things
every day
The open sky
The breathing stars

Thread Magic: The Enchanted World of Ellen Anne Eddy
Ellen Anne Eddy is an internationally known fiber artist whose wall art goes beyond the traditional concept of quilting. Fish, bugs, birds, and frogs are found throughout her art, blending her dreams and vision with the natural world. She uses hand-dyed fabrics, lames, machine embroidery, cut-away applique, and layered sheers to create the illusion of flames, water, and mist in her work.The chapters guide the reader step-by-step with everything from "Looking at Quilts" to "Rehabilitating Troubled Quilts." The gallery of quilts features both full images and detail shots. The photographs are bright and colorful, the illustrations clear and helpful. Ellen's quilts are divided into several series and themes, with each section offering her inspiration for that theme. It is Ellen's hope that by sharing her journey as an artist she can inspire her readers in their artistic journey.
Hand-dyed fabrics, layered sheers, and machine embroidery are spotlighted in these extraordinary quilts featuring birds, animals, and insects. Includes a step-by-step technical section.
