Spools of thread

My favourite quilting thread is by Valdani.

Taken with a hand held Canon SX20 with a Raynox DCR 250 lens attachment. Edited using the Lomo Script in Gimp.

The thread is Baroque, ecru, 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.

Thread of society collection is the creations of Art Jeweller Samantha Mills who specialises in metal and textile techniques, this spool cuff and choker is part of an ongoing collection.

My best sewing organization ... Thanks to my Dad and a close friend who returned this antique thread drawer after she no longer needed/wanted it. My Dad had this and said it was a display for thread in a store sooooo to organize I was blessed with this for my studio. ... Best find was mint wooden spools and spools of thread at $2. added character and display to my thread drawer. Now I know where every color and type is. ;)

Still more brightly-colored threads, along with happy pockets of color. Find the simulation here: youtu.be/wZ-0Hg7VRcg

I love the variations in the orange color in this shot - it looks like a sunset.

At his thread ceremony. head shaved, the ceremonial rice grains thrown at him were hurting him a little... He was really happy, though.

Sometimes, when I see how everything constantly evolves, maybe there is no need for all these elaborate ceremonies. The purpose is not clear. These occasions were meant for something very practical. I was arguing with another one of my cousins, the very superfluity of such ceremonies, and why we don't need them in such magnitude in today's given scenario. But he proved me wrong. It was all necessary...

We are a capitalist society, and its prime aspect is the consumer. or SPENDING.

After all, we all are responsible citizens of the country. We must spend to keep our economy alive. This whole thing is fairly simple...

Spend, so that others may survive...

 

Red thread by Lou Baker was part of an amazing exhibition in Shepton Mallet prison as part of Somerset art 2019. The exhibition B Wing explored the theme of incarceration and was such an amazing setting. Red thread ran thrpough multiple cells on the second floor of the wing reflecting traces of grief, anger, blood... Powerful art.

Yay! I got a thread rack today now my sewing area looks a little less impromptu!
