as i’ve been spending more time in my sewing room lately, i’ve realized just what a sorry state it’s in. consequently, i’ve been cleaning it up a little bit every time i’m in there.
last week i rummaged through a tote bag that didn’t seem to have much in it and found a missing box of threads needed to complete the handwork on “cheery (easter) quilt.”
i spent quite a bit of time going through every place i thought these threads would be last year when it was time to take the project on spring break with me, to no avail. i worked on the other colors in the quilt instead, completing the bronze bits and the sunrays. they turned out wonderfully, but i really did want to complete the other colors, too.
i don’t ever recall the thread box being put in the bag where i found them, and had quite despaired of finding them again, so this was a very happy discovery for me.
i was either going to just give up on adding more stitching or order new threads, which i really didn’t want to do as they are around $10 apiece and i only need them for the one project, which really needs to be completed. so i did nothing for months because the quilt was out of season and i wasn't sewing anyway.
problem solved.
now i need to figure out how to pare down and simplify my sewing room so things like this aren't an issue anymore.
