2. Then, when you see the layout for your blog, click on "Add a Gadget"
3. Click the "Picture" gadget.
4. Enter this address as the link: www.flickr.com/groups/1152665@N22/

6. Now the button is on your blog at the top of your sidebar. You can move it around on your sidebar by just dragging it where you want it.
Installation in the stairwell, made in conjunction with the exhibition Threads of Feeling at the Foundling Museum. All the ribbons came from V V Rouleaux, the ribbon shop in Marylebone.
About the exhibition: "Threads of Feeling will showcase fabrics never shown before to illustrate the moment of parting as mothers left their babies at the original Foundling Hospital, which continues today as the children’s charity Coram.
"In the cases of more than 4,000 babies left between 1741 and 1760, a small object or token, usually a piece of fabric, was kept as an identifying record. The fabric was either provided by the mother or cut from the child’s clothing by the hospital's nurses. Attached to registration forms and bound up into ledgers, these pieces of fabric form the largest collection of everyday textiles surviving in Britain from the 18th Century."
I picked these colors to embroider the sleeve for my new phone. The thread name is Farao Egipcio. It's a twisted 2-ply thread. I've never heard of this thread before!
thanks, jrad! for letting me borrow your sewin machine and scissors (damn those are great scissors) at the NNN offices. i was able to finish my dress in time for the ball. unfortunately, i was too tired to attend the ball after pulling an all nighter to complete episode 18 of thread heads...:)
Size 10 thread, DMC Cebelia for the solid blue, Royale's Ocean for the variegated. This is only 12.75", and it should be larger...gotta work on those double-crochets--they should be taller than that. This project really was an experiment to see if I could find a pattern that would cooperate with variegated thread instead of fighting with it.

These threads made the cut. Used 15 different threads. Filled all the holes. Should have looked at Karen's work again before starting. Thought every hole needed to be used and also was stressing because there were gaps between each one. The paper I'm using is quite thick.
Attempted some thread sketching flowers and leaves and swirls, mug rug made from scraps from the pillow I made, added extra for the pillow talk swap
