A lovely rainbow of threads!

Better order a few extra. Empty spaces are scary!

Id love to but I counted & have room for only 1 more spool. I can't seem to figure out how to add more cones to the rack. Any suggestions?

It looks like you have your winter all planned out! Good for you! Share with us what you're working on later! Happy Sewing!

yngldy 11-05-2016 09:33 AM

I see room for 10 more. Aurifil or Guttermann, Mettler maybe (not sure of spellings) have skinny spools. Bet they would fit! Looks like you will enjoy your sewing for a few months!

orangeroom 11-05-2016 09:53 AM

That's a lot of thread. You ordered all that at one time?

rusty quilter 11-05-2016 09:54 AM

Wow! I can't imagine using that much thread in a lifetime!

meyert 11-05-2016 10:09 AM

I love it!! that is awesome and you are much more organized than I am :)

Oh no, this took almost 2 years & multiple sales/special offers/coupons! Love looking at them!

I work full time & am about to embark on a new course of intense studies, but seeing it set up gives me hope to continue!

Karamarie 11-06-2016 04:46 AM

Quite a selection. Happy quilting!

coopah 11-06-2016 04:54 AM

What do I think? I think you probably have enough for a day or two. :-)

annette1952 11-06-2016 07:18 AM

Great stash of thread. There is nothing worse though then to have a project ready to start & not have the right color or wt. of thread. Looks like you have it covered! Have fun!

StrayCat 11-06-2016 08:12 AM

You're going to need a bigger spool holder. I see some empty space next to the wall switch....

nancylg68 11-06-2016 08:14 AM

Thread racks,

I have three thread racks I would love to sell ...... then you can order more thread.
Are you a long arm quilter ?

Oh I don't know how about buying another rack? LOL!

Chytayzie 11-06-2016 08:59 AM

What a selection!

MargeD 11-06-2016 09:40 AM

OMG, what an amazing array of thread colors. I think you're set for a long, long time.

Jordan 11-06-2016 11:04 AM

WOW! You must have every color under the rainbow.

Mariposa 11-06-2016 12:51 PM

That's quite the collection of threads!

QuiltnNan 11-06-2016 03:58 PM

looks just like my thread wall!

zozee 11-06-2016 04:35 PM

What do I think? I think it looks like candy! Looks yummy and delectable. I see what looks like room for more skinny spools. Why not? You never know when you might you need a variegated Hulk-Meets-Shrek green.

wildyard 11-06-2016 05:57 PM

LOL, I see room for lots more than one in there. Be creative!!

rj.neihart 11-07-2016 04:27 AM

Yep, you've got that hoarder thing down with this thread!

duckydo 11-07-2016 05:22 AM

Quick make something using thread painting and it will use up some of your thead! LOL Nice collection.

Beachbaby12 11-07-2016 05:48 AM

Wow that sure is a lot of thread - thought the same thing, did you order that all at one time? Or did you just order a bunch to add to the thread you already have?

marytoddliz 11-07-2016 07:38 AM

I love it! I can't pass up thread when ever I see it at any kind of yard sale or 2nd hand store, So I am like you running out of space to put It! I still have some in bags and sewing boxes. I also love buttons and old time sewing notions! Oh yeah and Thimbles~ Who says you have to just have fabric in your Stash!

Quiltngolfer 11-07-2016 08:11 AM

Hurry! Run to the store! Fill that spot.

Alvie 11-07-2016 08:44 AM

Regarding thread but slightly off the center track -

Heirloom Creations had a visit from the president of Aurifil. They did a video and put it on You Tube. He had a lot to say about how the thread is manufactured - through all of the steps, how it is best used by type and weight, how to protect it from deterioration, and other things I never knew. Interesting and helpful.

if I poked my nose into the wrong QB thread, the wrong way, etc., please forgive me and let me know how to do better next time.

Thread for me is like chocolate truffles. More! More!
