Thursday!


Thread!, originally uploaded by jenib320.
When I was taking out the garbage this afternoon, I noticed a BIG bag filled with thread next to the chute! Of course I had to take it with me! It was full of thread. Well over 100 spools. Mostly Coats & Clarks, and mostly on plastic spools so it can't be too old. I usually buy Gutterman, but I'm not about to turn away free thread!

  4. That's crazy! How lucky that someone left it there. Maybe a neighbour knows that someone in the building sews? Either way, that's awesome!
    You have such good luck finding vintage sheets! I've only ever found one or two when I go thrifting.

  5. Rad! I too inherited free thread. Lots of it. Mine is on wooden spools. Is there something wrong with old thread that I should be aware of?

  8. Yum! Any chance I could buy those pink plaid and aqua plaid sheets as a whole piece? A dream backing for a couple of quilts I've got planned. Just email me either way. :) Thanks!

  10. Free is always great. I use coats and clarks most of the time but really enjoy Gutterman. I am so jealous of your thrifting trips.
