Long weekend....

Usually on Memorial Day I would help serve breakfast at the local VFW.  This year my legs are a bit unpredictable so instead I'm taking the day off and staying safely in my sewing-room.  (The last thing I need to be is around hot stoves and breakable items!)

The past few days I've moved more supplies back into the rearranged sewing room.  I am sort of amazed at just how much thread I've found!  I mean I'm used to dealing with my fabric stash but a thread stash?  Who knew...

in tin containers...

in drawers...

project bags...

on shelves...

and even in some containers made to hold thread....

I must buy thread every time I go into a fabric store!  So I am rounding it all up and putting it the new drawers in the sewing room.  Now it will be as easy to find it at home as in the store!

yah, I hear ya. I have a ton of embroidery floss because I'd buy buy buy whenever I could find 5 skeins for a dollar. And when I was working a lot on threadies I added all sorts of rayons and metallics too - haven't used those in years... And why do I have 3 spools of hot pink quilting thread when I've never once used it for a project? At least you have a lot of pretty thread so it can be beautiful if nothing else.

Shopping your thread stash is going to be so fun! And what a nice selection, too! :o)

I have the same problem only worse. I have so many cones of machine quilting thread. It does help to have it all centrally located. Hugs.

I just organized my thread earlier this year, and sometimes I just have to open the cupboard and stare at how wonderful it all looks! : )

Excellent, a thread store at home! Hope the wobbly legs improve soon!
