I pull out threads from my orts every once in a while and just stitch a few stitches till its gone I am doing 1 year of Stitches and TAST this year along with the Crazy Quilt journal so lots of orts to use up. <br /><br />Oh the Facebook group is TUSAL link is https://www.facebook.com/groups/144865389484618/Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12013807144091997698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437652134511673127.post-48865997781796361092018-02-16T10:45:50.467-05:002018-02-16T10:45:50.467-05:00Mary Ann - The threads I threw out were all single...Mary Ann - The threads I threw out were all single strands or too short. No idea why I kept them. Just habit I guess. <br /><br />Carol - I had to Google Boro style. Interesting. I think those Japanese fabrics I'm using are for that type of work. The alternate colour choice to the brown bundle was blue. The fabrics remind me of old men's shirts for some reason :) Gently used fabrics. <br /><br />Lin- I'm really enjoying the random work. I'm like Carol in that I usually need a purpose when I do stitching so it's liberating to just doodle with thread. Plus I'm such a perfectionist when I do CQ that I pick out many times. Doodling means you are allowed to make mistakes and just ignore them.Mary Ann Tatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064111648107079739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437652134511673127.post-62905637169602312482018-02-16T10:15:54.730-05:002018-02-16T10:15:54.730-05:00I just bought fabric to work on a couple of quilts...I just bought fabric to work on a couple of quilts. I have a stash, but I needed fresh inspiration to kick it off. It's such a good time of year for handcrafts. I like the idea of random needlework--good practice and a cool result!<br />Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437652134511673127.post-39077599592920066932018-02-16T07:40:28.620-05:002018-02-16T07:40:28.620-05:00I once tried to save my orts, but like MA mine are...I once tried to save my orts, but like MA mine are as short as they can be. I have been stitching a Boro Style on a jacket and it's a perfect way to use left over threads. I thought I would do TAST, but I have a difficult time stitching unless there is a planned end purpose. Random is ok, but I have to have the stitching be for a purpose. I'm weird.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437652134511673127.post-83444018041847472872018-02-15T17:52:09.047-05:002018-02-15T17:52:09.047-05:00Finally!

Mine were always too short to be able to use for anything. Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.com
