By chance, I found this vintage four-drawer silverware cabinet (in like-new condition) in an antiques warehouse not far from where I live. I thought that it could be re-purposed as a sewing thread cabinet so I bought it. I really love it! I didn't realize how many spools of thread I had until I started to organize them into one place. Not only can I see how many and what colors I have, I can see what colors I still need to add to my thread collection. So far, I have almost filled three of the four drawers. (My little treadle sewing machine music box is sitting on top of a small art quilt made by the late Karen Loprete.) My Thread Cabinet
