Kitchen project update:

Remember that?:

Now it is this:

Remember that?:

Now it is this:

Fresh paint and new hardware. Check!

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:

Not so much.

What’s your progress?

The Widow’s Mite – Part 6

Posted on May 2, 2012 | 16 comments

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.
