Details & Description
Title: Great-Grandma's Vintage Sewing Thread #2 Size: 6″ w x 6″ h Canvas Type: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas Frame: Unframed; Ready to Hang Signed: On the front COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A still life painting with vintage sewing thread. The type of sewing thread your great-grandmother most likely used to sew her family’s clothes.
A unique still life oil painting featuring four vintage sewing thread on spools made of wood. Each spool contains sewing thread of a different color: red, orange, green, and blue. A sewing needle pierces a green spool, set against a neutral gray backdrop to complement its counterpart painting. This artwork is the second in a series and bears the signature of oil painter Teresa Bernard in the bottom left corner.
This small 6×6-inch work of art will fit anywhere there is a limited amount of wall space you want to embellish or spruce up. Great-Grandma’s Sewing Thread #2 is hand-painted on a small gallery-wrapped canvas. This type of canvas allows the artist to paint on the sides of the canvas giving it a polished look thereby eliminating the necessity of a frame. Nonetheless, framing is an option if desired. Regardless of your choice, it will be an attractive addition to your home, gallery, office, or any display space. A personalized Certificate of Authenticity (COA) accompanies the purchase of this still life painting.
The physical canvas artwork does not have the copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com.
Artist Comments
This painting is part The Wooden Spool Series. I call it ‘Great-Grandma’s Sewing Thread #2’ because we live in the modern era, and thread is no longer sold on wooden spools. Sewing thread spun on wooden spools was probably used by our great-grandmothers, but not so much nowadays. Sewing thread is now sold on plastic spools.
Manufacturers are no longer making these wooden thread spools, but that doesn’t mean they have no value. In some ways, they can still have some usefulness. One benefit of these vintage spools is their durability and the ability to repurpose them in a variety of ways long after the thread has run out.
I recall playing with empty wooden spools as a child. I strung them on a string and used them to make necklaces. When I played with my Barbie dolls, I also used them for doll furniture, among other things.
Vintage wooden spools are useful for a variety of arts and crafts projects. Using your imagination, you could transform them into beautiful artwork or something else that would give them new life. Use them yourself or for a project, your children could enjoy. Better yet, use them in a project that you and your children could enjoy doing together.

“My Grandmother taught me how to sew. It’s a beautiful skill. She sewed almost all her own housedresses. Never wore pants. Bought her underwear and outer clothes!” — Bobbi A, MeWe
