I have been saving snippets of threads cut from my machine embroidery projects for about 10 years and didn't have a clue what to do with it all. I was curious about this bowl idea also and did a google search. This is what I came up with: http://www.sewitalltv.com/content_do...structions.pdf

Very interesting I think this would be so neat to make. I don't have any thread saved up but will it looks like. Just enough to make a few for christmas presents.

I drop them in the scrap bag beside my SM and they go into dog beds and what not. Some of those photos are gorgeous, I have never tried anything like that. Goodness knows I don't need to start saving anything else!
