My kids bought me a big thread set for Christmas and my sweet husband made me the lovely framed holder to put it all on. I'm ready for any design now!

I feel like a kid in a candy store....I truly do!
oh i love the wall hanger to about your age rotfl because i never know mine!!!
Yes, it's pretty much my motto. I kept 38 for a long time. I gave it up when people started patting me on the head when I said I was 38!
lol well there patting mine when i say 58 lol
Oh I LOVE it!! I have thread on several racks. Is it those metal hooks attached to the pegboard to hold them?
My husband cut 1/4" dowels that fit in the hole into 2" legnths. Then he used wood glue to glue them in. Push dowel part way in to back. From back, paint some wood glue on the 1/4" bottom edge of dowel and carefully pull back through to front until the peg is flush with the back, no further. He wanted it that way so there was no glue mess possible on the front. Nice huh!
yes excellent!!

VERY nice! Wish I had the room to store mine like this (and if it had a giant dust cover - arizona is tough with dust).

This is simply fantastic. Your husband deserves a medal for doing such a great job. I too love the hanger about the age thing! I hope you can keep this covered too as the dust and light will affect them. Love and blessings Chris

My sewing room is on the north side of the house and I keep the blinds pulled when I'm not in there. It's not very dusty either. I don't know why that room isn't dusty, but it's not. I'm not covering it, I think it's a decoration all by itself! Maybe if I keep using all the thread, it will always stay unrolled to a new spot! ;)

Your DH did an awesome job on the thread holder. I use pegboard for a lot of my sewing supplies and I like how this is framed in. Makes it look so much more finished :) Now to get busy on your projects :)

Wow - this is neat - I don't have a wall big enough to do that with mine - I have windows to contend with, but do have good lighting. LOl Tell your hubby that this is a great job.

I love it. As I am just starting out I have been trying to figure out how to store the thread. This is interesting. I can tell it is peg board. What is each spool actually hanging on?

Sorry I should have read all the comments first. I see that he used dowel rods. Great job!

Thank you. I told my husband he is getting flowers today!!
I just love it.
I just love it.
And, he painted the peg board the same color as my yellow wall because I didn't want to lose any yellow wall!!

This is a great idea but I don't have a spare wall and would also worry about the threads getting dusty???? Lyn

How wonderful! All of those beautiful colors and a thread rack to boot. I'd love to know the directions also if hubby agrees. Thanks for sharing. You should not need any new colors for awhile. LOL

He just took a piece of peg board, painted it yellow and framed it. Then he cut 1/4" dowels into 2" legnths and glued them in holes spaced far enough apart to hold your spools. Then he hung it on the wall. I could not be happier with it.
Technically, I figured it all out on how big the peg board needed to be by laying my spools on it and deciding how far apart the pegs had to be to fit the most spools on it. Took a little thinking before cutting!

Can you send him to my house please? I really need help, lol!
