Hi everyone....I joined the Totally Useless SAL. The idea behind this SAL is so fun! All you do is keep all your little bits and pieces of your stitching thread from projects you are working on...instead of tossing it, save it . These little pieces are called ORTS...... Find a fun little container, dish, jelly jar, vase, whatever strikes your fancy and put your threads in it. Here is my Ort container...I've been collecting these little threads for about a week or so...this should be a new collection. Each month, when there is the new moon it's time to show your Orts......for more information visit Yoyo and sign up. Hugs, Linda
Note....SAL means ....stitch a long....a group working on the same project
Ort......the dictionary says an ort is a small fragment or morsel left behind

I like how they look in that jar. I do have two questions though, what does SAL mean and what does ORTS stand for? It's a cute idea. :0)
Hugs, Sharon
Sharon was wondering what SAL means and what Orts stood for ----
SAL means stitch a long....a group doing the same project
Ort.... the dictionary says an ort is a small morsel or a fragment left behind
Hugs, Linda:)
A unique idea and so pretty in the glass container.
What a fun idea!

I collect my orts in a pretty hand painted glass I bought when we lived in Sweden.
I love the Elm Creek Quilts books too. Beware about reading The Master Quilter! It is what got me started on making Sylvia's Bridal Quilt. :-)

They do accumulate in a hurry, don't they. I finished my piece I was working on. I'm going to try and get it to the framers this week.
Are all the members of your group friends who live nearby or online friends?

Cute idea, and the little jar looks quite decorative with all those colours in it.
God bless.
You already have quite a collection going on. It will be fun to see how many different jars you store them in.

Now who would have thought ... clever idea.
TY for popping over. Gail is a wonderful designer, isn't she.
Have a great eve. TTFN ~Marydon

I am glad you explained SAL because I never would have guessed it. And boy did you inspire me. I am going to keep a jar by my machine to hold all the tiny useless bits of thread. Wish I had done that years ago! :)
