Motif 23:

This is the third thread given to me by Diane Jenkins. It's called Solar Active Yellow. It is supposed to turn yellow in the sun. It did change colors in the sun a little, but it was more like an ecru to me than a yellow. I tried leaving it on my dashboard all through lunch, but it didn't get any more color to it. The thread is the size of sewing thread and feels (and catches) like silk. I had a hard time getting the rings closed because the thread was catching on itself. The pattern is from the November 1975 Workbasket.



Motif 24:

Stacey Houston from Everett, WA sent me this sample of King Tut Quilting thread along with a maple leaf pattern modified and diagrammed by Tammy Rodgers. The original pattern is from the February 1975 Workbasket. The modified pattern can be found at

The color (number 912) does very well in making this leaf look like a fall leaf.
