Yup, embroidery needles is what it was meant for when I made it over at the Piecemakers here in S.Cal. Of course you can keep pins in it too, but the original idea was for it to hold, in each little wedge section, the different type n sizes of needles that you have or will use in your stitch projects. The idea is to pre-thread a few needles ahead of time. A better plan would be to pre-thread the colors of threads or silk ribbons, in the proper size needles, that your next project will need. This way you don't have to stop and re-thread every time you come to the end of a thread.. Surely everyones peev of stitching?.. This way, you just keep on stitchin! Great idea, Right!? It really looks marvelous next to your fancy threads there. <br />Luv n Hugs ~Ingpineapple_inghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956229384179719881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-28870750094239486132013-11-01T07:11:25.003-06:002013-11-01T07:11:25.003-06:00Obi's are definitely Japanese - they are used ...Obi's are definitely Japanese - they are used to tie around your tummy over a kimono (I know because my Japanese penpal brought me one when she came to visit, and showed me how to tie it).<br />We get a lot of people coming into our opshop for fancy dress parties. Including men! We had a busload of guys last month, who bought up all the ugly and crazy womens' clothes that nobody in their right mind would have bought. They were going to a drag night or something...the mind boggles!Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-58117192275116359032013-11-01T06:43:49.071-06:002013-11-01T06:43:49.071-06:00Those threads look wonderful displayed on the ring...Those threads look wonderful displayed on the rings and rack!

You've reminded me though, we have some fab Indian fabric shops over on the south side that I always mean to stop at when I drive past, but they're always closed (probably because I drive past at night usually ;o) ) One day I should really make it over there...Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814262528756246837.post-28236091193985302062013-10-31T14:51:30.072-06:002013-10-31T14:51:30.072-06:00I too just love looking at my thread on rings....b...I too just love looking at my thread on rings....but it will take forever to get them all up.
