New Threads

After starting the quilting and not liking it, I came across some new threads, embroidery threads.  I think I first came across them on this blog, which sent me surfing for more info and then a place to buy.  An etsy shop had them, but were charging

 way more than I wanted to pay, unfortunately.  Then I found some of the threads here, but not the 2-strand variety.  Those I found here.

I think I did a damn good job picking threads to match my 2 background fabrics.

Though they look the same, all 5 are slightly different shades.

While taking pix this morning IN THE SUN!!, I had a 5 year old hand show the size of the spools.

not to be out done by a 2 year old, who unwrapped the threads also.

This is a close up of the area I had started quilting....some of the threads have already been picked out.

And just because, a feather drying out after a night of drenching rain.
