Blue Coasters

I finally finished the coasters I've been working on. These were lovely to work with. The pattern is a alteration of a pattern in one of my tatting books. Not sure which book I got it out of. It was either an Anne Orr or Rita Weiss tatting book.

These coasters were made to go with our fine china. But I have gotten so many compliments I think I will make some to sell as well. 

Looking For Blue Thread

I realized the other day, that I needed some blue thread. I was sure that I had some somewhere in the house. It occurred to me that we had- after three long years in storage- actually pulled out the old three drawer sewing bin and placed it in the guest bedroom. I figured there should be some thread in there. Well, when I opened the top drawer, this is what greeted me...

I think a good cleaning and reorganizing of my sewing bin is WAY overdue.

FYI- I did find the blue thread. Can you spot it in the picture?
