<\/a>Stitch this snail for storage!<\/p><\/div>Some time back I told you of Trish Nguyen’s project of stitching a reproduction snail<\/a> from an old pair of embroidered gloves to raise money to house a collection of gloves. I ordered the kit just before Christmas and then promptly forgot about it, in the Christmas busyness.<\/p>\n A few weeks ago, I had a lovely surprise in the mail when it turned up! I pulled the envelope out of the mailbox, noticed the unfamiliar US address, was a little confused, and then a light went on. “Oh yes, I know what this is!”<\/p>\n I thought you might like to see what is in the kit. I bought it to help with the fundraising, but mostly because I wanted to see some of these threads I’d heard of but never seen. The kit includes: If you’re interested in purchasing a kit, I’ve just checked Trish’s blog to see if she’s put an update to say that they’re all sold. She hasn’t given any update like that, but so she may still have stock, but maybe not. You can purchase one here<\/a> (and seeing the link is still up, I assume she must have them still available).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stitch this snail for storage!<\/p>\n Some time back I told you of Trish Nguyen’s project of stitching a reproduction snail from an old pair of embroidered gloves to raise money to house a collection of gloves.
