Painted Thread Spools

Categorize this as things I didn’t know I should never throw away (that is, if all thread were awesome enough to be on wooden spools)…

If you’re unlucky like me to pretty much have all plastic thread spools, especially ones completely devoid of charming illustrations , then lucky enough for you there’s Amy Blackwell. She paints and sells these adorable additions to anyone’s craft room, and has given me serious inspiration if I ever DO get a spool that isn’t a wad of plastic.

You in or around the Twin Cities this upcoming weekend and looking for something to do?

We have some stitchy fun you should really check out. First up is the Re-Tread Threads, a show of fiber art made from recycled materials, opening this weekend with a reception Friday night.

Thanks to Mr X Stitch for the heads up!

Once you’ve looked at enough stitchy art, why not go buy some? This upcoming weekend is also one of our local craft fairs, Craftstravaganza!

I’m going to be wandering around, taking some photos, and looking for some handmade goods to buy. Come find me and say hi! Oh, and our most recent featured artist Adam Turman will be there, so be sure to check out his booth and buy some Twin Cities flavored prints.
