Good idea! What holds up the yardsticks?

Jingle 05-20-2011 08:19 PM

Nice thread collection. Good for you to get it organized. Pretty OBW pieces.

wolfkitty 05-20-2011 08:27 PM

How are the dowels that hold the thread attached to the yardsticks? Love all your thread!

Veronica 05-20-2011 08:29 PM

dh didn't use dowels.. he used screws right thru the yardsticks.. there are two screws under the yardsticks that they sit on., which holds them on the wall...

Candace 05-20-2011 08:39 PM

Looks like an art piece!

amma 05-20-2011 08:42 PM

Awesome blocks! I really like your thread holders too :D:D:D

gaby4v 05-20-2011 08:50 PM

WOW, beautiful to look at, like a piece of art!!! And the OBW will be beautiful too, very colorful. Love it.

Pam H 05-20-2011 08:56 PM

Way too cool!! Both your thread holder and your blocks!
Is there a screw for each spool of thread? I need to get my thread organized but I think I would only need 2 yardsticks. Although I am thinking of placing an order at CT.......

Painiacs 05-20-2011 09:02 PM

Looks like u robbed a thread store!! Lol

That is so pretty on the wall!!!

LoriEl 05-21-2011 04:06 AM

and a quick way to measure an approximate yard of fabric-just hold it up to the wall! Hubby sure made quick work if it, too.

Jaos 05-21-2011 04:07 AM

Ooohhh I love how it looks! Your OBW is beautiful.

and behind the door is the perfect sized storage spot

buckeyed 05-21-2011 04:58 AM

Wow a bunch of thread but clever idea to keep it organized. Mine is just thrown in a drawer!!

rwquilts 05-21-2011 05:04 AM

Awesome! So handy that way and colorful as well! I love the quilt you're working on!

leakus 05-21-2011 05:05 AM

Very smart and you use the space behind the door. Love the idea.

Ask DH how he hung them or take a close up picture please.

Love it, I don't have as much thread as you do but it bothers me that I have them in boxes and don't see them easily.

GrammaBabs 05-21-2011 05:06 AM

Holy Moly... LOL you should not need a trip for thread anytime soon... and i agree... it makes fantastic Wall Art!!! :)

izzybelle 05-21-2011 05:18 AM

that's a piece of artwork all on it's own!

Amythyst02 05-21-2011 05:19 AM

HCS2010 05-21-2011 05:48 AM

Maggie_Sue 05-21-2011 05:51 AM
