Using one of Lucinda's beautiful photos, here is the blog button for the Traveling Threads Quilting Bee.
If you have a blogspot/blogger blog, here's how to add this little button to your sidebar:
1. when you're on the blogger dashboard, click on "Layout" for your blog.
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/
5. Enter this address as a picture from the web: farm4.static.flickr.com/3626/3574098149_fafd7f428b.jpg?v=0 and check the box for "shrink to fit"
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.

(Catching up for days missed)
This spider was spinning its web in front of the shed in my backyard. You can see it holding a thread in one of its legs.
Today I spent some time putting a bit of work towards an art piece I have been chipping away at for well over a year. It's one of those where I really wasn't certain of the end. I couldn't see it complete. I just knew I had to start it because it kept whispering to me. I let go and just started, allowing it to go wherever it went. I still don't have a vision of the exact finished piece, but recently I have started polishing the mirror again, which always makes things a bit more in focus. This is a pile of threads that I pulled from some pieces of fabric.

string the flaxen weft
with love on your fingertips
to create a new
fabric for this world
blanketing the hearts
that hold the heavy loads
strength in the warp
shoulders the burden
in the creating
is also the destruction
the pulling of threads
to unleash a new edge
a birth of time
folding over the weave
never losing
my line to you
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.

Threads from the original selection that did not make the cut. I still like these together and so I did a photo to remember before they go back in the boxes.
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.
This one was something of a disappointment. I loved the example in the pattern photo, but failed to notice until afterward that even that "perfect' one was slightly ruffled around the edges. So of course my (imperfect) one is even more ruffly. It's still pretty, but not exactly how I pictured it.
This was some non-mercerized thread I bought for practically nothing at a yard sale. Working with this has helped me decide that I definitely prefer mercerized (shiny) thread for doilies.
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

Took a walk from Hempstead Road to the Grove Hotel in Watford after a very cold night (11/01/2025), which was -6.1c the coldest for a good few years in Watford.
But with this cold brings out some hard frosts which makes nature glisten and sparkle in the winter sunshine. There was still some snow patches from Wednesday's snow.
