“Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, Sauté it, whatever. MAKE.” ~ Joss Whedon
The Monthly Create, Make and Share Thread is a monthly gathering of people that love to create and make. From yarn (crochet, knitting), fabric (sewing, quilting), threads (embroidery, weaving), wood crafts, ceramics, artwork and anything else you create and would like to share, this is the place to do it. Sharing something you’ve created and/or made is pure joy...and we need joy in our lives!
From complete Newbies that are looking to start that first project, to experienced artists, we would love to hear from you. If you have questions or would like advice, there’s probably someone on the thread who would be able to help.
It is impossible to hijack the Monthly Create, Make and Share Thread. Knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, weaving, general crafting, art, wood working, patterns, articles on any of these topics, or even your own writing. There is no telling where it will go, and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us! Send a Private Message to Diana in Wisconsin if you’d like to be added to our Ping List.
NOTE: This is a once a Month Ping List. We DO post to the thread during the month. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to other Create, Make and Share fans are welcomed any time.
My house, every day! :)
How fun! Please add me to your list. I just finished crocheting my cat a bed.
Thank you
On May 3rd, we recognize all that textiles do to improve our lives with National Textiles Day. From fashionable style to everyday necessity, textiles provide us with a wealth of design possibilities.
Woven fibers of either natural or synthetic materials create textiles that make life easier and more comfortable, too. We use the resulting fabric to make coverings for a variety of uses. From the clothes we wear to bedding and furniture covers as well as rugs, drapery, and canvas for art and shelter, textiles cover our lives.
Not only does textile lend itself to multiple uses, but it is also versatile. Texture and color allow unlimited possibilities for design and expression. Fabrics also protect us from the elements. And while we manipulate them to our needs, they remain sturdy or delicate depending on their design. While some fabrics breathe for sport others resist wind, rain, and sun.
Sustainability and environmentally friendly approaches to producing textiles are an essential part of the manufacturing process in the modern era, too. Valley Forge Fabrics is a company dedicated to living and working harmoniously with the environment. They have a reclamation take-back program for many of their products that have been in place since 2008.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL TEXTILES DAY
Consider all the ways textiles improve our lives. Express yourself through the textiles in your life. Whether it shades your windows, accents your furniture, or brings comfort to your shoulders, textiles are all around us. What is your favorite fabric? Look around and let us know by using #NationalTextilesDay to share on social media.
NATIONAL TEXTILES DAY HISTORY
In 2016, Valley Forge Fabrics founded National Textiles Day to celebrate the beauty and versatility of textiles.
From the Dollar Store to Glam, Home Decor.
Recently introduced to this creative individual who
sees items in an entirely different way. Her ideas may
not be to your liking, but you must admit her creative
juices are flowing like Niagra Falls.

You’re in! Welcome! :)
Thank you! I love DIY crafts on a budget. :)
Any way to fix the width of these pictures? Thanks!
Nice work! I asked the Admin Mod to fix the width of your pictures so we can view them better. :)
I find the title of this confusing. When you say “Create, make and share thread,” do you mean fiber thread or conversation thread?
Anyway, I’m only here to pass on this hilarious joke (yea, it’s quite funny all the way through, but it builds up to one big joke.) A must-watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-tSzZVH5sk
Thanks very much for posting- I was smiling and laughing the whole way through 🤣
Fiber or conversation thread - your post is a good example of “conversation” where you post something of interest to those who engage in or have an interest in any arts/crafts (well, witch’craft’ & the dark ‘arts’ may be an exception LOL).
Looks like he had to delete them. Please re-post, but make sure your ‘width’ is at 500. Thanks!
The $ Tree would be wise to contact her
to speak as a spokeswoman. She certainly
has a great deal to offer.
Who knew they had such great ‘stuff’ on their
shelves? “Budget” is not a new word to most of
us here.
LOL!
(will look much better once it's stretched and framed).
