Wanna see what $385.46 worth of thread looks like?
Nope, that's not all of it....
And THAT's not all of it (love those luscious turquoise blues - one's a heavy mercerized cotton, and the other is a poly);
This lovely gold/brown/copper set
this mixed soft set,
this lovely grey/silver set; and
and these metallics.
Here they are all together!
As you can see, they've been temporarily installed on one section of my new peg board which has not been installed in my sewing room yet (which is wowzer/holy smackeral crazed right now due to the half packed, half un-packed totally disorganized state in preparation for full packing due to the new floor going in) (phew!) - anyway - the peg boards will go in once the walls are painted.
But in the MEANTIME - I went to
The Creativ Festival today, can you tell? lol I go every spring and fall and stock up on thread and fusing products (which are both hard to find and expensive when you do, here); and I was hoping there would be an Aurifil representative there, but no such luck; so I bought my usual - about half
WonderFil thread and about 1/2
Gamut threads (which may both be Canadian-only thread manufacturers - I don't know that, but if you can't find those threads where you are, that may be the reason why).
Anyway, what I like about BOTH of these companies, is that though all of my sewing machines are "fussy" about what thread they'll use, the one thing all seven have in common is that they all like these two brands.
Wow, I can talk a lot about thread, can't I? I'll stop now!
See you tomorrow. :)
