Out of sight, out of my mind


While rattling inside my house during roofing, I decided to continue playing around in the sewing room. Karen's thread rack already had some embroidery thread and I decided to fill it with what I had, making it colorful and accessible. I found my thread box in the closet and all these threads I had forgotten about. Beautiful metallics, variegated, Madeiras, Sulkys and rayon threads, even Kreniks. So pretty, so glittery! I even found some extra spools to send to a friend to inaugurate her new White ATS 2000 serger. I know some people wouldn't dare leave their spools out, but they certainly were not doing me any good boxed and forgotten. In the very least, it is textile art. (The purse is a recent gift from Beijing)
