Windsor workshop

A fun day day sharing the Open Thread Bar™ workshop with 20 members of the Windsor QG. It certainly looks as if choosing thread is a very serious proposition, at least for Diane, Libby and Jeannie!
I love the way Libby organized her sample pages for each individual thread: a line of straight stitching with tension going from 0 to 10 so that she could see what was happening with the threads on top and underneath. Then she picked out a few very cool decorative stitches to stitch out. Now when she refers back to those pages she'll be able to see how those same stitches differed with each thread.
