Bits and Bobbins

Here’s two pictures of recent developments.
Progress is good on the Panika piece. Getting the point where it’s stitching two Xs of one colour then having to tie it off and do another colour. But the end is in sight and I’m working out how to make the most noise about it when it’s done. I’m going to try and post on a couple of graffiti sites if I can. If you have any other suggestions of where I could post about this piece when it’s done, I’d be grateful.

The other pics are an effort at trying to get all three of my bobbin boxes in the same shot. Yes, after several hours of winding, I managed to get all my newly won threads together. And I am very content.
I got some good threads – some of those varigated ones, lots of metallic shiny ones and light effects. And quite a few neons. I think my favourite is the one Glow In The Dark thread I got, which I shall save for a special occasion.
But now I have a three box strategy, with all the threads in numerical order. It’s luurrvvverly.
Of course I still haven’t got all the threads I need to finish my current works. Part of me wants to get one of those eBay deals where I can buy sixty threads and choose the colours. And then just fill in the gaps in my collection… Hmm….
