It’s always the way, that you find something missing when you least expect it and often where you least expect it. This happened to me a couple of days ago.
I was digging deep in my sewing storage area and came across these two paper bags. What on earth could be in them?
I had quite a little chuckle when they revealed the missing fabrics that I wanted to use in one of the Chookshed Stitchers’ Challenge months.
I had bought them on our trip to New Zealand in 2015. The batiks and the Paua buttons were bought at a gorgeous little shop “The Stitching Post” in Arrowtown on the South Island, which I believe has now closed. The woven flax fabric was bought in Coramandel.
I have a couple of other Kiwiana fabrics that had been gifted to me, so they will now all be stored together, where I can find them, ready to use in one of the challenge months next year.
Now to decide what to make with them.
What a happy find! I am sure you will find something beautiful to put the beautiful fabrics into :-)
