Which country?




The machine in action!  How many pictures does it to to work out which country it is embroidering at 90 degrees?
It is the United States.

British Isles, France, Greece & Portugal coral map cushions




I was asked to make 4 cushions for a conservatory in a bright colour.  Each country is special to the client for different reasons. I am going to buy more of the fabric as they look great.

South Africa map

I was asked for a South Africa notice board last week a few days before the Oscar Pistorius shooting.  Surprisingly there have been a lot of views on Etsy.  No sales though.

Reetsweet Designer/Maker Fair


Thread Squirrel is at the Reetsweet Designer/Maker Fair at Leeds Corn Exchange tomorrow.  It will be the first chance to buy some of our new designs featuring France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Cyprus.


Don't worry, there's several spotty baskets of bags featuring our existing map designs too.   And spotty baskets full of pinboards and wheatbags.  Spotty baskets are the answer to everything.
