Ron's brother and sis n law came through on their way back to Michigan from wintering in Fl and spent a few days. This is what they brought me, 70 spools. This is California Thread and Supply I'm not familiar with this brand. Can anyone enlighten me on it since I have never heard of it? Anyone use it and have any problems with it? Thanks much/Lillian

52686Wow! That is so cool! You can do a lot with this collection. I see so many colors that I love to use. The yellows are special this time of year. I was just thinking what can I do (fsl) to spruce up my kitchen window.

Thank you Joan especially for the prayers. There are many days that I know I would never get through without God's guiding hands/Lillian
9536What a wonderful gift! Lillian, I have dealt with this company on several occasions - that's where I buy my machine needles from - 100 Organ brand needles for $11.95 with free shipping! They are very fast with the delivery and are great to deal with. I haven't bought thread from them, however.
You and Ron, continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs*, Deb

That is a terrific deal on needles. I like the Organ brand. My girls buy most of my supplies and that's the brand they usually get. I'll have to tell them about these because I know they go to a machine dealer and purchase them.. Thank you
70755Hi Miss Lillian, wow, what a wonderful array of colours. I'm so glad that the girls below have found where they are from.
I'm so sorry that you are housebound looking after Ron. And I'm so thankful that you are getting lots of help from your family. Love Chris

I was amazed. No 2 threads are the same color. Just several different tones of the same color/Lillian

Thanks, that is true. I do believe our machines have a mind of their own. There are some threads my Babylock just will not use/Lillian

Thanks Toogie , looks like they are pretty reasonable on the thread . Also looks like a pretty big outfit, I'm wondering why I have never heard of them before./Lillian

Thank you !. Ron continues to decline, hospice continues and now my daughter or her hubby will come in evenings and help me get him in bed. He can no longer help..I can get him up into w/c. Nurse puts him in recliner. Aide after bath puts him back in bed, I get him up again in afternoon and the kids help me get him bank to bed at night. He continues to feed himself when out of bed(oob) but that's the only thing he can do for himself.Totally home bound and me too pretty much. He cannot be left alone. /Lillian

Thanks Toogie. Someone in the retirement community had purchased a machine and a lot of thread. Decided they couldn't do it and gave everything away. Sis n law was actually given 2 boxes. She took one home and gave me the other. Forgot to mention she also gave me a box of prewound bobbins. They do not fit my machine but I simply rewound 1 to an empty bobbin of mine and it works fine, but that's the only thing I've done so far/Lillian

No Toogie I asked why a d she said she just didn't think she could learn how to do it. She is in her eighties.. I bit my tongue , didn't want to appear ungrateful for what she did give me but really would have loved to have helped her learn to use it. She is a great quilter and craft person. Fantastic on her sewing machine and participates in craft shows all winter in Fl. She crochets also all kind of things.
