Workshop in Progress - March 9

You would think after a week with Amanda Jean I would have something to share here. I do, but not yet. Sadly, I did not get any photos before it got dark today. I fear the end of the nap is about to come up and bite me on the butt. I guess it is time for me to regroup and listen to some of my own advice from the Little Feet, Pins and Needles discussions.

If you are new to the Workshop in Progress I encourage you to read the introductory post. Our goal is to not just post what you've got going on in your own studio, but to post your challenges, inspirations, and questions. Then invite readers and WIP participants to comment and help you out with your query. It's like being in a workshop room together and feeding off the energy and creativity of others.

So, what have you been up to? Inspire me. Inspire us all with your challenges and questions.

Workshop in Progress - March 2

Yes, it's still winter.

I'm taking a little break this week. Not from winter, but from my real life. I'm down in the US hanging out with Amanda Jean. We're having a great time, even if a tummy bug is running through the house. I'm enjoying the winter light in her house, and all our chats as we play and work together.

Workshop in Progress - February 23

Been quilting a lot lately, in a lot of different colours. This has me thinking about thread storage.

I used to have a box, just a paper box, filled with thread. Actually, I still have it, but I don't use any of that thread anymore because my Pfaff really doesn't like to sew with Sulky. Since switching to Presencia thread I've only bought colours as needed. Until this rainbow showed up it was all content to sit in a vase in my dining room.

Now, however, the vase is overflowing and I've got bobbins a plenty filled with pretty colours. Before I jump in the car and drive to the store I wanted to ask you, my readers, for your thread storage ideas.

Do you store the bobbins with the corresponding thread?

If yes, how?

If no, how?

Is it better to have it in a box?

I welcome any tips you've got.
