from when I am making ANYTHING on the embroidery machine.

I just HATE the thought of throwing away even these thread scraps,
started saving them for a friend who asked me to because they was
getting into "mutli fiber" art quilts and thought the thread would be
"cool" to add as a dimension to the art quilts. Then she changed her
mind about making art quilts, but now I can't bring myself to toss the
thread in the trash.

MANY (most?) of this pile of thread are lengths about 6+ inches long.

Louise if you arrange that thread on a piece of material color or otherwise and put a piece of netting over it and do miander quilting you'd have a beautiful Doll Quilt add borders etc..
