Hubby is finishing up the glass cabinet doors, and then on to that floor!
The Widow’s Mite project update:
Applique pieces are being secured with free-motion zig-zag.
When the zig-zagging gets done, then I’ll stitch in some details with thread painting.
Update on the Weeding project:

For those of you following the Widow’s progress:
A closer look:
Now the fun of choosing threads:
I like to use Mettler 60 weight cotton embroidery thread. It is a fine blending thread. Besides using this thread for fabric portraits, I use it on applique when I am using a satin stitch that I don’t want to shine, or to stand out too much. It covers beautifully. I don’t carry this in my shop, but I’m beginning to think that I should. It is hard to find…at least in my sphere.
Anyone else use Mettler 60 weight cotton embroidery thread? If you do, I’d love you to leave a comment sharing how you use it.
