I have to share these lovely new thread keepers that my friend Jodi's dad, Max Bloom, is now selling on his website Bloom Woodworks. He is the same man who has designed the thread kepers used in Judy Odell's new design: My Treasure Workstation. If you click on "products" and then "needlework products" you will see a link called "painted thread keepers" where you can get all the details. I think the black ones are very elegant! Can you imagine being talented enough to paint these?! I can't even draw or cut straight--LOL. I believe the lady who paints these is also a stitcher. Aren't they gorgeous?!
