lym95 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 $.50 at garage sale, partial can Rustoleum Oil bronzed spray paint = new thread holder that will hold 50 large spools of thread. Happy Quilter = priceless No idea what the original use for this was, but I plan to mount it on the wall. Will post a pic later when I have it filled.

Busy Quilting Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Now that is a decorative find. When you find out what its original purpose was it will cost a lot more to find it some partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne from Guam Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Sweet! Remember how much you saved on this the next time you have to pay a late fee on a bill or something else equally annoying! The thread looks so great it will inspire you everytime you see it!

mestuart Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 was it a rack to hold shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 That is a terrific job. My threads are on shelves, and solid back boards with pegs, and some on racks he built onto the alcove wall. I am hanging out here at home, until he wil remove the shelves and the built in parts of peg holders.. and do up one whole back wall.. that will be such a boon. I also have a better spaced and lighter weight peg set up, that allows for the spools that don't quite set anywhere else.. The piecing and sewing threads, etc. Too many things, too many places.. too needed to do without.. but will give more room, even an inch or two counts and helps.

LibbyG Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Love garage sales. Of course, if I saw it, I wouldn't have seen that wonderful use for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
