KNUJ

Whatever I hear on KNUJ today is where I am at with the weather.

I decided to stitch out a rather lengthy design today.

There were times, I would have 5 – 8 minutes before I would need to change the thread color.

Two boxes were gotten off of the top shelf here in the studio.

Talk about memorabilia in the form of fuzz and thread.  Working with threads and fuzz has been my innate being for several generations and I am still perfecting my skills.

I have items from my great grandmother Christine on my father’s side who came through Ellis Island.  I have items from my grandmother Laura who was my dad’s mother.  I have items from my grandmother Martha who was my mom’s mother.  I have items from Esther Schafer who was Orlin’s mom.  I have items from my mom, Lena.  I treasure every item I touched today.  Yes . . . emotional attachments. 

So here I am, my stitched out design is finished and I have put the covers back on the treasure troves.  At some time, I hope my children will be not only looking at those items as I did today, but also the items of mine that harken back to 1965.  As yes . . . fuzz and threads.

With that I take my leave.  ♥
