It’s been quite some time since I’ve had these vintage thread organizers in my shop. So, I thought it was about time I added some! These guys are so handy to have & they’re neat-looking too. Get ’em here.

Clematis Climbers – Reusing Old Embroidery Hoops
Part Two
So this is sort of a follow-up to my garden art/bird perch post from almost exactly one year ago. Last July, I hung some old embroidery hoops in the garden. I did it for prettiness, but I also thought the birds might like them. I can’t say for sure if they did or if they didn’t, but this handsome purple clematis seems to think they are okay. And he was much easier to catch in the act.
Milady’s Dress Shoppe
This large, colorful embroidery is one of my latest acquisitions.
Picture was created using a crewel kit named “Milady’s Dress Shoppe”. Made by Vogart Crafts in 1976.
Embroidery has lots of details; the napping kitty is my favorite bit.

Vintage Crewel Pincushion
Sometimes I find kits requiring a little restoration or replenishing. This Hiawatha pincushion kit is mysteriously missing its Winetone-colored thread ~ all the other yarn is there. I happened to have a lovely wine-colored vintage wool yarn of the same type to replace it with.
