With exposure to the sun, cherry begins to show off the deep, rich color for which it is known, but the heartwood is always a darker color than the sapwood, and it is this inconsistency that gives cherry some of its most distinguishing (and challenging for a woodworker) character....

Many quilters like to load several needles with thread before beginning so they can just grab a new duo when the first length runs out. Hand Quilting Needles Hand quilting with specific needles, also called betweens, involve short, very sturdy hand sewing needles that don’t typically bend or break....
