While I was packing away things from Scrub Stitchin’ I came across something rather special that came home with me.
One of the original Scrubbers, Diddles, passed away a few years ago and her stash has been shared at Scrub Stitchin’ over the last couple of years. This year there were smocking items, which were used in a very creative way, and some threads. In amongst those threads I found two that I was happy to bring home.
If you look closely, you will see that they are hand dyed silk threads from Gumnut Yarns. So, what’s the big deal? Well, we purchased our current home from the lady that creates Gumnut Yarns. My sewing room was her work room. Those yarns would have been hand dyed in my laundry and packaged in my sewing room. They have now come home to roost.
It doesn’t take much to make me happy.
What a lovely coincidence.
