This was a test of thread and fabric. I’d received a cone of Glide thread from the manufacturer and was asked to give feedback on how it performed. I used a crepe-backed satin fabric – using the shiny side up on the top and the crepe side down on the back. The thread performed wonderfully.

    What’s your favourite Christmas cookie and how many dozen do you make each year? I think cookies should be made year round. Don’t save them up until the holidays! A cookie can make someone smile. My favorite is the peanut butter cookie. It is more of an everyday cookie than a holiday cookie, but it is my favorite.
