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!
