“I personally like the chaos on the back.”

SARAH ADMITS that she’s probably the least particular person when it comes to scissors. “If it cuts, it’s fine” is her attitude. Using thrifted woven baskets, she stores a variety of scissors and thread snips alongside her color-sorted thread. The smaller amounts of floss are wrapped around themselves while the larger quantities are wound around paper tubes.

THROUGHOUT her years of working, Sarah has found that keeping bundles of threads in baskets is the best system for keeping things organized. Once she’s taken a skein of thread out of its package, she wraps it in a butterfly shape and places it in a color-specific bin. More recently, she’s improved upon this idea and dedicated entire baskets to all the thread she’s using in a specific piece. This is particularly helpful because she doesn’t keep note of the DMC thread numbers for each color she’s using unless she’s writing a pattern for others to follow. In her own work, as long as the thread color matches, it’s fine.
