I have been doing the same thing. Thread is not suppose to last forever. They say if you keep it in the freezer it lasts longer. Do I dare suggest we purchase anther freezer just for thread........ DH would really think I need to be committed.
I just used all my mauve and yellow on a scrappy quilt. Scrappy quilt, scrappy threads!
I do try to watch the amount of dollars spent on this. I have all the "good stuff" but when it come to specialty things (rulers for just cutting dog ears?????) i pass.
I have a fantastic stash. I purchase sale sale fabric. I am now in training. When there is a new project I HAVE TO USE SOMETHING FROM MY STASH to go with it.
Then I crazy quilt, old clothes go into the bin after I cut it up. <---- i am hoping this qualifies me.
