After joining the Crazy Quilt Journal project, I have decided I need some new sewing pretties. In my embroidery, I use a lot of silk thread -- so it seems a new silk thread wallet is needed. These little wallets or cases store your silk thread while you are working and keep them in a clean, snag-free and easy to access manner. In my typical fashion, I haven't really thought this through. I do know that I want to have rings to keep the clipped skeins sorted, and I do need pockets for unused skeins. <br />
<br />
So, flying by the seat of my pants, I put together an 8 x 8 inch crazy quilt square in french blues, creams and golds, to begin constructing the outer cover. (Sorry, the picture below was taken inside -- and household lights don't lend themselves to good color translation).<br />
