~ Classic Colorworks Threads ~

Hello dear friends.

Monday's are SO very busy here in my 

Studio these days! 

 SO many exciting 

 things are beginning to happen!

*******

It is very easy for me to say that of all the different antique

sewing collections I have, my absolute favorite 

collection is my metal animal pincushions.

The one I'll share today reminds me of Autumn....

~ Antique Pheasant Pincushion ~

This is the largest of all my animal pincushions, measuring

8" long from beak to tail.

The metal is very nicely detailed.  I love the feet!

Usually these hard to find metal animal pincushions will be 

stamped with a makers mark.  

This one is stamped on the underside "Japan".

The metal used on these types of pincushions will vary from 

Sterling Silver, Silver Plated, Nickel,

Copper, and more commonly used would be Pot Metal.

So many Autumn leaves.....

This rabbit friend sits amongst my chive plants and is 

completely surrounded by fallen leaves. 

*******

I so happy to give an update on my wild rabbit friend

Abigail (Abby), she is alive and well....

She been hanging around the barn every night eating her

supper!

Now that it's getting dark out so early these pictures didn't 

turn out very well :(

 I'm always so happy to visit with my sweet Abby!

She is definitely fluffier looking with her winter

coat filling in.

~ STUDIO NEWS ~

With so many different threads to choose from these days,

it makes stitching so exciting....

For many years DMC, Anchor, and JP Coats were the only 

embroidery threads available, but now we have

so many beautiful overdyed threads to 

choose from.

I'm happy to share my second package that just arrived

in today's mail....

~ Classic Colorworks Hand Dyed Cotton Threads ~

The full set of Classic Colorworks Cotton Thread includes 217 

different colors for me to now work with on stitching

my models!

Classic Colorworks was formerly know as Crescent Colours.

The new owner Ron Williams is the son of Designer Diane Williams

of Little House Needleworks.

I'm happy to have the opportunity to endorse this beautiful 

overdyed thread line!

I'll share with you on Friday how I'll organize my new set

of threads on the large ring shown in the photo.

I'm making very good progress on my Christmas sampler!

Hopefully another one of my packages will have arrived!
