The Sewing Mom

So, I’m walking along, minding my own business when it happens. “Oh look! Someone has dropped their wallet right here in the middle of the sidewalk!” I open the wallet only to find the identification of one of the most famous quilters of all time! I begin looking around to see if the lady who owns this wallet is around and I don’t see anyone, not a single person. Where is everybody? What will I do with this wallet?

I begin looking further in the wallet and I discover credit cards as well as the driver’s license. Just think of all the wonderful quilting supplies I could go buy at my favorite quilt shops! I feel lucky that I’ve found this wallet just in time to attend the Paducah Quilt Show later this month! I’m thinking, I look an awful lot like this lady, even if I’m only a beginning quilter and she’s an expert, but maybe I can pass myself off as her! With the credit cards, I can even buy my own plane ticket and book my hotel.

What do you think, can you guess who I’d be impersonating?

  Truthfully, I would only open the wallet to find out who it belonged to. I would also hope that whoever it belonged to knew the importance of identity theft protection such as life lock for their own safety.What would you do if you found someone’s wallet?

With all of the sewing I’ve been doing I decided I had to stop procrastinating and get my thread organized! I purchased a stand up organizer for my regular sewing thread and a portable storage box container for all of my embroidery thread.

I know, I know, this seems like such a no brainer. My problem was that I buy thread any time it’s on sale and I really had no method of organizing it, so it it was all in bags. This made it fairly time consuming to find the color I needed, especially when I was doing embroidery design work.

So, I finally forced myself to sit down and organize it! I didn’t take before pictures, just imagine several zip lock bags full of thread.
