Well girls just had to show you pics of how spoiled I am. DH did this for me and I am so happy. I now have room to store over 600 bobbins, large and small. What he doesn't realize is that now I have to fill it LOL.
Sorry for being such a show off. LOL
hugs
Michelle

Oh, Michelle, how wonderful!! This looks like the one at my dealer's shop, in the back room where they have the classes. I'm so jealous I'll tell you to go to Metro & look at their thread sets, hee hee hee. Just beautiful, your hubby is a dear. Hugs, Marji

Oh wow!! What a special man you have! Hang on to him.
I can see that he used doweling, but what kind of boards are the dowels attached to? What a great idea, to add a peg for the bobbin to go with each spool of thread. He is a good student; he must watch you work quite a bit!

Wow! You are so lucky. Just wish I even had a spare wall to do something like this.
1191✽
You are blessed! This is something my husband would do for me if I had a wall big enough for all the thread. I have mine on the holders that you put on the wall and he put those up for me for me without question. I have quite a few of them, Some hold 64 spools and some hold 30 either way it's good to know our hubby's have our best interest at heart. Enjoy! Roberta

600 colours of thread,you will never not be able to find that roll of thread that you need next. You know the one that ends up under something else and you find it days later. I have shown my DH your picks hopefully i get one that maybe holds 200 colours. Congratulations

I love it. I am always trying to match bobbins up with the thread. But if I got one, I would have to make it myself. Husband has been ill, not able to do these things anymore. Joyce

I'm sorry that your husband is not well. He'd do something like that for you if he could.

Who's a very lucky girl then!! How lovely to be able to see all you threads at once a wonderful rainbow.

Very lovely. My husband built me on that holds 340 spools. It is "a-framed" and sits on a window ledge. I love being able to see all the colors at one time. Becky

Good job!
How do you keep the dust and sunlight off them?
I have something in a much smaller scale and I use light weight clear plastic (by the yd. at JoAnn's) with a pocket sewn at the bottom, a dowel stick through that for weight, tack the top to the top of the racks, and it can be rolled up or down.
Just a thought in case you don't cover them.

Lovely. Am green with envy. Oh wait I need more green thread. LOL. Would love to have one that holds about 300 spools. That would take care of me now and allow room for growth. Gotta have that.

Ah! That is how your husband shows you that he loves you. He makes things for you that you want, need, and would enjoy! What a great gift! I envy all those spools of thread. Makes me wonder what on earth you did before you had this rack!!!

Your husband is lucky to have you!!! He ! He! Other wise, he would be building gun racks.

Reading this, just a thought: keep the direct sun off the threads, or you'll have fading and drying out. Dried out thread is fragile & shreds. Need a protective cover, especially in direct sun from window. My rack is on same wall as window, no sun there.

Well I sure didn't expect to hear from so many cuties on this one, so thanks for all your comments. Should mention that my hubby did this on our holiday when we were away visiting family. He took advantage of my BIL's
workshop to use all his beautiful tools. Oh course he mentioned to me a few times that he was doing this during holiday time, but he has a very good sense of humour so he was just trying to rub it in a little but all in fun. Love him to death, he really does take good care of me and knows how much I love to embroider so anything to make my life easier.
Thanks again and sorry I can't share him with everyone
hugs Michelle

Beautiful.It is my dream, all that light, the organization, the husband....Now your DH needs to complete his master piece with plexiglass doors, to protect the treasure from dust and sunlight.You can publish your sewing room in a magazine like BH.
Congratulations!

Absolutely stunning! I showed this to my DH, who made my (much smaller) thread wall with pegboard and 1/4" dowels. He admires your husband's design and how much effort went into creating your thread storage. Hint: I use an adjustable pressure curtain rod to hang a curtain of heavy clear plastic over my spools to keep the dust off.
