The Thread Nest - A New Blog


My Thread Tower


Today I'm announcing a new blog The Thread Nest which will be a simple pictorial documentation of the love of thread in the form of "thread nests".  This term refers to the beautiful mass of multicolored thread that often develops in baskets, bags, boxes, drawers etc. when artists and stitchers of all kinds work with thread.


Top Basket

I will be putting an image with a link to this blog in the sidebar of Studio 24-7 where you will be able to see that a new thread nest has been added.  From The Thread Nest you will be able to link to the new artist website or blog and perhaps find out something special about their thread nest.


Basket Two


Basket Three

This is wool needlepoint thread for a commercially printed canvas I purchased recently.  It might be finished in 2020.  Sometimes it's fun to just follow the pattern.


Basket Four

This is the bottom basket which holds everything from embroidery thread from my mother, beading  and metallic thread to string. I sorted the colors and types of thread a few times but it always goes back to this.

So click on the link and stop by.  Not much there just yet but it will grow.
