Eclectic Elements Craft Thread

Just a quick post today to talk about Eclectic Elements Craft Thread.  We introduced Craft Thread for use in hand stitching on sewing projects but I have found myself using it over and over in my everyday crafting projects.  In fact I am using it extensively in my Christmas class this year.
The Craft Thread is sold in three palettes made up of 4 colors each....you know the pack with the reds is my favorite. 

I created this stitched pillow for the spring Quilt Market.  It was here that I really got to experiment with the Craft Thread using different stitches along with vintage lace and grain sacks.  Annette Millard wrote a great blog post about the pillow and her experimentation with the Craft Thread.  You can read it here. 
If you are a sewer, you can also download free project instructions for Airmail Patchwork Tote Bag using Eclectic Elements metal zippers and Craft Thread.  This looks like a fun project!
Hope these projects give you some ideas for using the new Eclectic Elements Craft Thread.  Whether it's stitching or crafting...you are going to love it.
Now carry on,
paula

    I've not seen this in stores here. Don't know if the Doodle is carrying it. I would be partial to the blues and greens! Those are "my" colors!

    great projects - hopefully the thread will hit northern Canada soon! is it a heavier weight? looks like perle cotton 12 weight - is it thicker than a single or double strand of embroidery floss? ... I'm all about the reds also!

    You read my mind Paula, I was looking for the thread online yesterday, but couldn't determine the packaging or product numbers. I see in an earlier comment that someone found it at Hobby Lobby, I will try there. Thanks so much for the info.
