Spools of thread

Just lots of thread ... I was given most of them by a friend who knows I craft (she might not realize the depth of my obssession with it though!). Most of the spools came from either clearing out her late mother's house or her boyfriend's late father's. I like the idea of this things being passed on to someone who'll appreciate them, and mostly they'll get used for patchwork - which recycles fabrics and has such strong links to previous generations of women who've quilted.
