Cotton loom detail
Augusta's major industries in the 1800's were cotton trading and cotton mills, manufacturing cotton cloth. Today there are only two functioning mills left.
....for my "balloon" of cross stitched appliqué.
That's what I think the two little guys look like. Balloons floating away over The Prairie Point Mountains...
Very happy to salvage my tiny cut out bit of cross stitched hearts...

$2.99, also came with macrame cord not shown. The colors happend to be in my color palette for the current book project.
Today I presented my methods for thread drawing - using four different techniques for this simple piece - to the Harbor Art Guild in Hoquiam, WA.
I used four different techniques to create this image - standard lock-stitching on a home machine, darning on a home machine, fabric applique with fusible web, and hand-embroidery.
a roll of thread from my mother's sewing box. this is my first shot ever (test shot, if you will), using a technique that i just learned of the other day. to say that i feel i've opened a door to a whole new world is a great understatement. this knowledge was passed along by a fellow flickrer who has used it quite extensively. i was so impressed with the effects on her photos i had to ask her how she was doing it. reverse lens macro, was her answer. the rest as they is about to be history. i've seen it (unknowingly) applied to flowers and lots of pretty things, giving them a softness and beauty beyond description. i can't wait to apply it to so many "man" things and see what evolves. thank you fellow flickrer....i shall be forever grateful.
We needed to replace an old 1/2"-12 bolt that was missing from our Challenge guillotine cutter. (12 threads per inch is not standard, 13 is, so new 1/2"-13 bolts don't fit.) Turns out that an old British size is a suitable replacement. British Standard Wh

He used a 3D nylon sintering printer. I figured it should be able to be made by hand.
My mistake was kerfing the sticks. I did it so that I could have slots to put the strings in. Unfortunately this a) allowed the sticks to bend more then they would've otherwise, b) made it so that the strings were "split." Each colour essentially flows down two "plains" instead of one. Oh well.
My thread is in the second drawer in my sewing cabinet. I used a package of long golf tees and a piece of pegboard cut to fit the drawer. I put a bit of glue on the golf tee and pushed it up from the bottom side of the peg board. I only used every other hole so there would be room for my spools. Once the golf tees were in place, I let it dry overnight.
To keep the bobbins and spools together, I put the bobbin on the peg and pop the thread spool on top of it.
I found this suggestion on a quilting forum when I looked for thread racks.
For now, I only have thread in half of my drawer. I can add more golf tees when I need more storage. Until then, I store my sandpaper board and a dozen pieces of felt in the drawer. I use the felt to lay out block pieces.
This quilt features one of my embroidery collection called Kimono Art. The Fabric was also designed by me.

Today's class covered simple book binding projects, including sewing a simple pamphlet. Which is supposed to be finished off with a square knot. Not a lot of folks know the difference. I tied up a bit of leftover string to illustrate it. However, the pace of the class was such that I didn't get a chance to share with the others.
I got a photo or two though.
This Tangled Thread Moss (Hygroamblystegium varium = Amblystegium varium) was growing on a rock next to Cascade Run. I had not seen this moss before even though it had previously been reported for Howard County, Maryland. Cascade Trail, Patapsco Valley State Park, Maryland.
Sew rounded coil of one of the LEDs the same way you did the others, being sure not to cross the thread over the conductive trace you just finished.

I used a free pattern by All About Ami. I used cotton embroidery thread and a tiny hook instead of worsted weight yarn to get him this size.
