ALLTHREADS EMBROIDERY
Recently All
Threads Embroidery sponsored an annual Embroidery Convention,
with tutors and students from across Australia and overseas attending.
Every year, as part of their event sponsorship they contribute
to participants' goodies bags.
This year All Threads
Embroidery decided to give everyone a Challenge - to create a
needle accessory using a precut piece of natural linen, a skein
of red and white Gumnut Yarns stranded silk 'STARS', a
red/white button, some polyfil and a small number of beads.
Rising to the Challenge,

on All

and All Threads Embroidery for this challenge - for including
and using Gumnut Yarns stranded silk 'STARS'.
The fantastic needle
accessories submitted were -
