Basket of Threaded Jewels

Before...

During

After

A beautiful basket of threads from the church garage sale. I carefully took it home and wound up the threads, trying to imagine a world where you would need so many reels of orange, coral or variegated pink threads. There were even the sweetest little reels holding only 12 yards of thread, dearly marked "Nora". The basket is now nestled next to the couch awaiting it's next adventure. It looks like I have a little bit of sewing ahead of me..

must be a bright sunny, tropical world! Guaranteed to brighten up a gray NZ winters day. :)

You must have a lot of patience to do that - a labour of love!
