Featured on "Threadnest"

A little while ago Terry Jarard-Dimond  sent me an invitation to contribute a picture of my ‘thread nest’ of embroidery threads to a new blog she was creating. Good for me that she sent an explanation of what she considered a thread nest to be, because that was not an active item in my English vocabulary! But I really liked the idea, sent her my pictures, 

This is the picture I sent to Terry for "The Thread Nest"

and while we were away on our family retreat I was featured on “TheThread Nest”.

In fact, Terry's invitation was what gave me the idea to write the post about  boxes and baskets, although I altered the focus to buttons. Of course, I have other  collections that could also easily count as thread nests, but Terry had requested embroidery threads only, please, and so I abided by her request, of course. The other collections are slightly less ‘nest-like’ anyway.

Terry is welcoming other participants, so if you have a nice little nest to contribute, you can get in touch with her via her blog.
