Sandie Cormaci-Boles crafted a delightful pin pillow inspired by Abigail Adams for the Spring 2026 issue of PieceWork. In case silk is not your thread of choice, we have provided DMC substitutions for the colors used in the original.
The Thread Gatherer Silk N Colors are 100 percent overdyed silk threads with variegated tonal color in each skein. Please note that the listed substitutions of solid color DMC 6-strand cotton floss may give the project a different look.
