And no, this is not a piece of conceptual art, it's how the box with my embroidery thread looks like. That is how I left it when I was about twelve years old, after a few attempts at embroidery. Now I am trying to use this thread for Lucy's quilt, I can not throw it away!

what a fine piece of work you got there!
I don't know why I can't see the pictures but I'm sure your work is lovely. I'm certain of it!
I will definitely try again later. I'm dying to see what you're working on.
I love your embroidery.
The rainbow nest... where have I seen that before...? It looks strangley familiar! lol
Sabine! You need to sort through the birds nest of thread! I would do it for you -I love that kind of thing - but I think you're a long drive from my house in Sydney...
hi- i like the novel look to the embroidered designs on the quilt- did you hand draw the design to the fabric or is this an iron on. please advise. amy
I drew the designs by hand on the fabric with a pencil.
I found the designs in this book: "Cute japanese embroidery", and I bought it here:
