Annual Spool Count

nine spools and one cone used in 2021

Just by looking at the number of spools I emptied in 2021, it’s obvious I didn’t do as much sewing as previous years, but I was certainly not a slacker: these empty spools/cones allowed me to make nineteen Quilts of Valor and three community quilts for Prayers and Squares.

            2020 spools 

            2019 spools 

            2018 spools

            2017 spools

I haven’t turned on my sewing machine since early November, so it’s time to get in the sewing room and get busy.

  3. That is an amazing amount of quilts for a "slow" year. You are my personal inspiration for making Quilts of Valor.

  4. Oh, wow! I think I went through one this year and that's a big maybe because I really have lost track of the years.

  6. Who could ever think of you as a slacker. Maybe they were extra large spools!

  8. That is an impressive number! It takes me years to empty my spools because I use so many different colors!

  11. You probably had lots of spools close to being finished last year and this year you probably started a lot of new spools or cones. I think I’ve had a good year for thread usage but haven’t checked yet. Congrats on a good year of QOV.
