My username is a reflection of the tangled threads of my creative life, which includes embroidery, knitting, quilting, sewing, ribbon, collaging, rubberstamping..when I was trying to pick a username I was looking around my sewing room, trying to come up with something then got distracted when I noticed a mess of yarn, ribbon, embroidery thread and quilting thread in a basket and said "look at all those tangled threads" and that is how my user name came about!
