Been sewing for years but this is my first attempt at quilting. Tired of all my thread spools getting messed up so I asked my Dad to make a spool holder. He did a great job, he made it out of cedar and it holds 60 spools. Now I can easily find the color I need. He also made me this ruler holder.

Thank you, i know he does a great job, and couldn't handle parting with tons of money for a cheap looking piece i knew i would hate hanging up. They are a lot of work to make. He likes making stuff but has a really hard time selling things for money. He hates taking peoples money.

bprayeredup 03-25-2011 08:23 AM

He might want to make some to sell i will ask.

Bluebonnet Sue 11-01-2011 05:44 PM

I'm sure they are alrady treasures to you, but as years go by they will be even more specia...l because your Daddy made them just for you. So special! I know you will enjoy them for many years to come.

Kittenquilts commented on your avatar. So, I went to see it and find it is a cardinal. I love cardinals. A friend has given me many small gifts that have cardinals on the.
