I Didn’t Know I Needed One Until I Had One!
When I was at Beaver Island, Carol V. arrived with a box of goodies for us from her father. The really neat part about the gifts that he sent was that I did not know I needed one until I had one!
It sits on my sewing table, or beside my sewing chair and I love that my thread is not falling over or rolling off the table and that it has a magnet to hold my needle when I take a break or stop to cut another piece of thread. Varnished and smooth on the flat surface, he left the bark on with bits of moss attached.
I don’t know my woods well enough to tell what kind it is but I appreciate it for all of it’s organic loveliness.
There is a story behind this spool keeper (I am sure there is some other name for it) that I want to share. A tree had fallen on his car and he decided to make something from the all the wood. Apparently he made oodles and oodles of them. A silver lining from an unfortunate accident. Thank you Peter V.
I have been doing a bit of hand stitching lately …
Yes the pieces are very tiny!
Have a great week
&
Happy Stitching!

I have a couple of these! Very handy!
A couple of them … one at each stitching “station”. Good idea!
Super cool thread keeper! I agree, one of those things you don’t know you need until you use it. Thank you for sharing. Those pieces you are stitching are very, very tiny.
Have a super great sewing and stitching day.
I have to admit these are the smallest pieces I have ever hand pieced and I can’t imagine going any smaller!
I love your spool keeper and your pieces are really tiny.
Greetings Roos
Really small Roos, but oh so much fun!
How cool to see this on your blog. I’m one of the lucky recipients of one of these cool creations too. Carol is a member of the guild I also belong to and we all got one at our banquet a few years ago. Very handy!! Looking forward to following your blog.
Thank you for stopping by Jacqui. Nice to “meet” you!
Wow! what a great post, my dad will really appreciate it!
My pleasure Carol!
I also use those spool keepers, my husband made some for me soem time ago, they are very handy.
