Welcome to the first posting of the TUSAL (Totally Useless Stitch A Long) for 2021!
The TUSAL was started by It's Daffycat, a fellow blogger. It is all about saving your ORTs, (Old Ratty Threads), those cast-off thread ends which are than saved in a jar next to your sewing spot. Saving these threads in one place creates a collection of colorful threads and they don't end up all over the place, on your clothing, sofa, floor, etc..... And you might just forget a stitch and need a little piece of thread to finish a cross stitch project. Some stitchers have made them into ornaments and save them from year to year. It is fun to see all the different thread colors! I emptied my jar on December 30th to have a fresh start on January 1st.
So on or about each New Moon, I will be posting a picture of my ORTs jar. This month the New Moon is January 13th.
Here are my ORTs from January 1st until January 13th:
I am loving the colors already.
The next New Moon is February 11th, 2021.
Thank you for visiting and happy stitching!
