sbq Question of the week

What do you do with your orts?

I used to just junk them. Now my elder daughter has convinced me that they need to be saved, so I put them in a little glass jar. The jars look rather pretty with a year or so of orts in them, so for now they're part of the decor of my living room.

My friend Meredith made me a Christmas ornament out of orts a couple of years ago, back when Lewiscraft (now defunct) was selling hollow plastic ornaments specifically for filling with orts. It's lovely.

I'm back

Since May I've worked, stitched, written, spent ten days in Florida, and basically had a blast.

Now that I'm writing an article for Embroidery Canada on stitchers' blogs I figured I'd better check in here again. I've joined sbq, so now I'll have to post at least once a week.
