Wonderfil Threads

Last week I visited Sew With Vision (Instagram link) in Halifax. It's not far from Bayers Lake Business Park, where I sometimes shop. This quilt store has lots of fabric, threads, patterns, notions etc. I was interested in seeing their line of Sue Spargo hand embroidery threads (saw them mentioned on FaceBook).

In the order of threads below, here's what I have: Razzle - 100% rayon, Eleganza Perle #8 (green & red), and Dazzle, a metallic rayon. I will probably use these in an underwater themed small piece.

Temari Ornaments

I don't know what's up with blogger but yesterday, Wednesday's post didn't show so I re-posted it to Thursday! Now I notice that there is no Thursday post when I did the post yesterday. I give up! Go figure . .

In any case, I've missed a day in April!

Verna has been busy with creating more Temari Ornaments. Did I mention that Lorraine, at Colour Compliments, has commissioned her to make a few more Temari? Verna uses Lorraine's hand dyed threads.

I believe I've shown this one before but whose counting. I wasn't sure when I took the photo this afternoon.
Enjoy!

Temari - Colour Compliments

As many of you know, I have posted quite a few photos of Temari Ball Ornaments that my friend, Verna, has created. You can see some of them HERE, HERE & HERE. Well, Lorraine, from Colour Compliments, is a follower of my blog. She got in touch with me about Verna's Temari Ornaments.

To make a long story short - that's now history!

Please check out Lorraine's Friday blog post to read all about it.

Colour Complements

I didn't participate in the Grow Your Blog hop last month but I did visit most the blogs listed there (what a pleasant job!!). I met a lot of bloggers (well, not met them in person) and quickly read a bit about them and what interests they have. I joined some of the blogs and had lots of people visit back. Some ladies even joined up to follow me.Thank you.

I came across a Canadian on-line shop called Colour Complements just outside Vancouver, BC. Lorraine Stobie is a mixed media artist who dyes her own threads. She specializes in beautiful, bold, vibrant, one-of-a-kind, over dyed threads in small quantities. It was her vibrant colour schemes that caught my eye. The threads are just gorgeous! You can visit her blog HERE. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Enjoy!
