This week I played a bit with threads....
Meredith Woolnough is a very clever textile artist who I have followed for some time on socials. This last week she offered a free thread bowl course, as a way of introduction into a more detailed course that she runs.
It involves thread scraps and solveable paper .... machine or hand sewing
I did one with thread only, and another with thread and fabric scraps....
you can see a bit sandwiched here between the papers....
dissolve and mould.....
and I have two little dust catchers .....
It was fun to play and I would love to do her full course but that's not going to happen just yet.
If anyone is interested Meredith is present on social media and has a newsletter. She holds the mini course a couple of times a year I think ... and even if you don't want to do it it's worth looking at the lovely art she does.
Some hand stitching done in the evenings has resulted in 3 more Christmas stitcheries
I've also played in the sewing room, done some quilting, some piecing and some cutting..... really just squirreling between different things......
Another hospital visit for our daughter, which included a break out to watch Widgets last home junior game yesterday. Was so lovely of a committee member standing guard with witches hats so that a prime parking place was kept for us so Missy could sit in the car in her pyjamas and out of the cold... those small kind things that make a big difference.
Righto, Gotto Go....... the floor really needs mopping!
Have a wonderful week....x

Love, love those thread bowls Fiona. So effective. I think the same effect could maybe be achieved with mod podge - not sure.
I am so pleased that your daughter could watch the game in the car - you are right, those small things make a world of difference. xx
Those bowls look like fun. Sweet stitcheries.
Unfortunately those floors don't mop themselves, do they.....well done on your two bowls, Meredith's work is amazing; she has exhibited in a gallery here more than once and I have been gobsmacked every time.
An interesting method with great results. Lovely that your daughter got to see the game.
The little bowls are gorgeous. I have been saving the offcuts from my granny squares with a similar idea in mind, but will use it as a base for some embroidery. More nice little stitcheries and how lovely for Debs to be allowed out like that and to get prime viewing! xx
That does look interesting. A fascinating technique.
what a snazzy project! love how your stitcheries are coming together. They seem to take very little time to get done, are you finding that?
how kind of the committee to help your daughter get to enjoy Widget's special game.
An interesting way to make those lovely bowls….
Cute Christmas stitcheries.
So good Deb could enjoy Widgets game and great to a prime spot to watch the game.
These are wonderful new projects you’ve created.
It’s really fun to do something completely different for a change.
Your Christmas embroidery is fantastic.
Warm regards from Viola.
Wonderful dust catchers Fiona, they are great. Great squirreling, wonderful projects.
