While most of the world is in Shelter in Place mode, I can’t
just sit and not create something. I’m
like the kid that can’t sit still; I can’t not create. So, when I saw a post
about Tat-a-Renda’s Challenge design, I decided to join in. But, what thread to
use?
Her design is starting out like a vintage doily. So, when I
spied this bit of vintage thread, I thought perfect!
This is what it looks like so far:
Remember the vintage shuttles I picked up on this trip?
Well, this one is labelled Justrite. I do like working with it. I normally
don’t like the feel of a metal shuttle. I prefer wood. But, this one is
balanced better and almost feels like my ivory shuttle. Since it twists apart
to fill, I wondered if it is the inspiration for the Moonlit shuttle. Incidentally,
today is the last day to pre-order from Handy Hands. I ordered my bag in blue!
