Thread Works

Thread Works is in hibernation at the present time due to covid restrictions, illness and avaiablity of people.

The tutors who used to work from Nancy's Stitch Studio are offering these classes at Hutt Art Centre this year. Please go to the website if you want more information.

Hi guys.. Unfortunately due to work commitments at present we have to pause our weekly meetings of Thread works.
Hopefully we will be able to get back together sometime in the not too distant future 😁🤞

What amazing talent and patience to create this 🤩

700 Metres Of Wool Went Into Making This Epic Cross Stitch Mural In this larger-than-life mural, yarn adorns the entire wall of a building in the Lisbon district of Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal. The mural is titled Switch-over and was crafted by Ana Martins, a 22-year-old artist who used over 2,300 screws and 700 metres of wool to bring her work to life.

This Wednesday is our last for this year and we are meeting @ 12 for a shared lunch 🌲🎅🥗🍲.
We will be taking a break thru December and January, we will update here when we have worked out our dates and ideas for next year.

This week we are making covered boxes.

You'll need a box that you want to cover (a shoe or boot box), plus pva glue, fabrics and ribbons/laces, beads etc to decorate it.

Our floating teacup and saucer projects were so much fun to do today 😊 and they all look so different.
Two ladies still have some more they want to do on them so they will finish them next week.

What do a fork, a cup, saucer and side plate, glue and flowers become??

A floating tea cup of course 😁, and that's what we are going to attempt to create this week 🤞😀

(Not much to do with thread this time 😂)
