LW goes to work on Sat and I go to garage sales. This time I hit the jackpot and found these Thread cases full of silk thread on wood spools from the 1950's or 60's. I am thrilled.
This is my second (first and last) attempt at thread painting on a quilt. It was done on a small quilt already finished, which pulled everything in. It was fun, but definitely not my forte.

"Threads of life." It is a collection of ancient textiles from Amatlán de los Reyes, Ver. Garments made traditionally in waist loom and commercial entela such as denim, blanket and linen. Hand embroidered with mercerized cotton or satin threads. This collection has more than 18 garments, some correspond to the last century and others are replicas, taken from old photographs. The range of colors and nuances of the embroideries captivate both locals and strangers. His iconography preserves the indigenous feeling and worldview of the Amatecos. The symmetry of their embroideries shows the delicacy and patience that the women of Amatlán had when making their clothing.
I have no idea what I might do with a doily but I made one, it was much more fun than I anticipated.
We were walking back from Buckingham Palace and I have spotted this window
full of these colourful threads.
Definitely didn't need to worry about losing the way with all the thread marking the path many pilgrims walked!

Bought a tin of old thread and crochet cotton on wooden bobbin at an antique store on Saturday in Danville. Pretty cool. I'm going to use some of the thread as cores for corespun yarn.

+ shiny rainbow fade-y thread! Which of course doesn't look shiny in the picture. Both are somewhat temperamental to sew with, thus why I did a test before using them on any products. :) The regular rainbow fade thread is categorized as "texturized bulky thread," which apparently equates to sewing with yarn practically. So weird but so pretty!
