And also I have to make and prepare something presents for my stitching friends for our next meeting.
I hope that the member won't be increased than before we met, otherwise I have to make lots of stuffs!! ('~' ;)
By the way, here is a Thread Holder which I made experimentally, hoped this could be the presents for friends, but it was too hard to open the eyelet holes (because there are two pieces of cardbords inside...), and thought I won't be able to make many of these, so I will just keep this for myself. :D
I used black x white gingham check fabric and black rick rack tape for around the edge.
The sample of this chart, it was used red thread, but I used black (DMC#310), this time.
I don't know why but I wanted to stitch in black very much this time!
I like this very much, and I'm quite satisfied how this turned out!
You just need strength when you open the eyelet holes, other than that it's very easy to finish off!
Well... This couldn't be their presents, I have to think about what to make for them...
The deadline is 17th of June... Oops!
Design : Miniatures d'Alphabets "Vent du large"
Fabric : 32ct Belfast Linen (white)
Thread : DMC #310
Finished as : Thread Holder

That is GORGEOUS! I love the black and white combo.
I love everything about this Yuko! It's very pretty and so clever. I love the design stitched in black with your choice of fabric.
Thank you for the compliment on my daughters! A lot of people say that Shana and I look alike. Unfortunately they are not interested in stitching. Oh well! Shana used to when she was little but not anymore.
Very cute Yuko, love the gingham and trim!
The black and white combination is very striking - I love it! I can't put in eyelets either - I think it takes a lot of strength to be able to do it which I don't have.
Glad your sweet son enjoyed his birthday gifts - tell him I need a hug now LOL
Love the thread holder - too cute!!!
Oh my goodness, that's so cute!! I love the black and white, and the fabric is perfect with the design.
So cute, I love it !
Another beautiful finish!!! Your so creative!!!
Such an awesome, creative finish :)
Another beautiful idea. Love the gingham and trim. I didn't realise that it was so hard attaching these eyelets. I learn something everyday - Sandra.
I LOVE IT!!! Another clever and creative finish, and so beautifully stitched too! I think I may have to run out for some bigger eyelets and copy this idea!
Oh wow, Yuko, that is gorgeous! Your stitching and finishing are absolutely wonderful:)
What a great idea for a thread holder and so well finished. I don't blame you wanting to keep it when so much effort has gone into making it.
Wow, this is a really neat idea for finishing. Great stitching and finishin g!
Very nice threadkeeper. I just love black and white, the gingham fabby is just perfect.
That really is a cool little item. I love the black and white. What you need is a tool known as a 'crop-a-dile'. It makes setting the eyelets so easy. You don't need a lot of strength and no hammering.

Its Wonderful I'll have to try and so one of those I think if you don't mind of course.
It's a lovely threadkeeper. So cute. I'm very impressed.
Another stunning piece.
It's beautiful, a very nice threadholder
what a great idea, your thread holder looks perfect and I love this black and white fabric!!!
What a great thread holder and such a unique approach! Your creativity and finishing skills are inspiring. And, as always, beautiful!
A very clever finish. You did a great job.

Hi Yuko,
Haven't visited your blog for quite sometime.. How are you? By the way, I love this thread holder ! It's so unique and you are absolutely so creative.. what did you use to make the hole?
Great idea!! It looks FAB!
Yuko, it's so lovely. The black and white is really elegant and I love the black ric rac, it's so pretty. It's a great idea and a very useful thing too. It's nice that you can keep it for yourself. What about making the little threadholders like Su made as your gifts for your friends?
Warm hugs, Angela

Another fabulous project Yuko!
You are so creative and everything you do is finished to perfection.
It's a shame these were too difficult to make in any quantity as they are different and very special.
Hugs,
Margaret
Lovely job, I think I would of picked more of a solid finishing fabric, the checker seems to make things very busy.
This is beautiful work Yuko!

Beautiful!
If you know where you want to place the holes, use a small paper punch to punch holes in the cardboard before you put the piece together. Just be sure that the holes are the same size or slightly smaller than the grommets that you use.
