Well apparently not. I saved almost all empty spools for 4 years and when unpacked a few more boxes the other day I was dithering whether I should chuck them in the bin or not. In the end I decided to keep them a little longer..
(Never mind the more than 50 quilts these produced :-)
The thread, the quilts, the love that goes into them and with them! Great job Judith!
ReplyDeleteI keep my spools too. I don't know if it is silly or a good measure of sewing done! Di x
ReplyDeleteGood quality, thin thread goes a long way! Lovely to see your empty spools, I've collected mine for the last 2 years and it is fun to see at year end :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to save those spools! I need to add a little variety to my thread selections though as my bowl would primarily be filled with orange empty ones!
ReplyDeleteI keep my spools too. I think dense quilting utilizes more thread, most modern quilters don't quilting that densely
ReplyDeleteDon't throw them out in the bin! I donate mine to my sons preschool and they use them on the "making table" , or for threading on to wool etc. The kids love it. I've never thought to keep my spools. Too much stuff in my sewing room!
