freshly back from the estate sale. this home is every hoarder's dream come true. this woman was a hoarder for sure, there is no other way to say it. there was so much stuff in the house there wasnt much room to move around or shop. she hoarded everything. not only was there the thread that was in the posted pictures, but there were two more rooms full of thread and even some in the basement (i never made it that far but someone else mentioned it).
the estate sellers had everything priced way way to high so many folks were not buying anything. the thread was still there. i couldnt make it through more than 3 rooms because of all the stuff and no room to turn around. just about everyone was finding it hard to shop. i'm trying again tomorrow as there was so much stuff there is no way they can sell it all today at the prices they had listed. too bad.
to those who inquired about embroidery thread.... yes there was PLENTY of it in every imaginable color, brand new and untouched. i never even got to the pfaff sewing machines. they had the sergers priced at $400.00, can you believe that? i will go back tomorrow at 9am sharp when they open to seek some treasures. if i score embroidery thread at better prices tomorrow, i will certainly be willing to offer for sale as i do not have an embroidery machine.

I didn't know that I had a thread adsiction, but after looking at the thread pictures all I could think is I WANT IT - I WANT IT - I WANT IT! Storage? I could stash it behind the couch, put open shelving in the guest bedroom, stuff it in the atic with the Christmas decorations. Actually it would take me the remainder of my life to use 1/2 of the thread and I do not have sensible storage. But, I WANT IT, I WANT IT.... My name is Marguerite and I am addicted to all things to do with quilting and other sewing.

I would love to be at that estate sale, I love thread, I love the different shades and colors. It is small enough to organize, some quilters love fabric, my space is limited, fabric can go out of favor, but thread is always thread and I have room for it. My addiction started when I was weaving, all those large spools of thread, beautiful colors and textures, then we downsized and I sold my looms and my stash of fiber. I had too many fabric hobbies, so I have concentrated on quilting and rug braiding. I wonder how long it would take me to drive to Missouri??? (ha ha)

I love it!!! I love thread too!! We need to start a thread topic, like the Featherweight and vintage machine topic for people like us who love thread. My husband buys thread for me at auctions, I hunt in the Goodwills, and thrift stores for thread first, then fabric. I WANT THE THREAD TOO!!
