I was fortunate to receive my grandmother's sewing machine and craft supplies. I still use her machine, a late 60's Viking that sews well. I use her notions/thread tin for my buttons. And I am using her thread. This afternoon as I was working on a craft project, I pulled out a spool of red thread and threaded the machine. I realized fairly quickly that it was not your typical thread. It was many small pieces of red thread knotted together into one long thread. It made me stop and ponder and wonder...... What was she planning to do with it? Was she trying to conserve thread? How did the thread get to be in all of those small pieces anyway? And it made me miss her a little bit more.
