that i mentioned yesterday. All the Deb Threads out of it, on the round Basket of Things, i looked at it today. Separately. As itself. the things that were in it prior to her Threads. All that i've had for a long time years . But the bag its Self. How i remember seeing it in that hallway closet with my mother's stuff and really wanting it……i think from when i was Emrie's age. Six or so when i was heavy into making Worlds of shoe boxes for my plastic horses. Wanting it to keep Stuff in but she wouldn't give it to me. It was one of the very few things i TOOK of her's as an adult, when she died. Photographed here on the old wool blanket that "keeps" me in winter….time to put that away till next time. Am not much into naming things, but the blanket is known as Big Pink. Some of these threads were also from that closet. The scrap of cloth…from Jude years ago…don't know how it made it's way in there. or why.

Lots of stories here.
That scrap is form Paris, passed to me from Perry Ellis, as inspiration for a plaid he asked me to design. He was a fashion designer, in my opinion, the most important of his time. He died of Aids in the mid eighties. He came to our office and sat beside me at the loom and said yes or no thread by thread. Things were so different back then. One of my fondest working memories.LikeLike

Love hearing these interconnecting stories. And how much my looking at the piece of cloth changed after hearing Jude’s story.

this is great. i was mystified. I don’t like stripes. and more…i don’t like plaid. i would sit and study this scrap….nothing made sense about it….stripes and now, i know it’s referencing plaid but it was so incredibly appealing

I love knowing this so much. It’s how things just GO and so often we might never know Why.

Those little or big plastic zippered bags, the kind sheets or pillowcases used to come in. I’ve always saved/used them. I like the story of yours and the treasures with it.
I’m touched by Jude’s story and yes, how it changes a scrap I may not typically be drawn towards. Isn’t that just the best?LikeLike

mind/heartLikeLike
