The Early Workbasket...
Metal Thread Stands; cira 1875~1940
Metal thread stands were typically made in either
England, Germany or the USA.
USA; painted metal, four spindles, pincushion; c.1935
Thread stands are perfect to add to any sewing room...
Both practical and eye catching!
Typically, a metal thread stand will include a center pincushion...
Corduroy was a popular pincushion covering during the 1930's.
The number of thread spindles will vary according to the style...
Double tier, center swivel mechanism.
Some will have the added feature of a center thimble holder...
Perfect for a quilter or wool applique project!
Here's a view without the thread...
USA; eight spindle swivel thread well, polished metal; c.1930
Some with have a fancier base...
Similar to the last one, but no thimble holder!
Wrought iron ones will tend to be more elaborate...
This style has everything...pinkeep, six swivel spindles, lower
storage area!
Love the old pinkeep mounted on top...
So many fun things to keep your eyes open for while
out rummaging and antiquing!
Hope you all enjoy spending time in your special
stitching room!

I'm looking forward to spending a relaxing Sunday
with my family as we celebrate my
55th Birthday...
It's hard to believe I'll be 55...I sure don't feel like it!
Some say when you hit your "Speed Limit" year,
you're suppose to slow down...
Nope, not me...not a chance!!!!!!

Weekend Soul Food...
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday...you young thing (I am 69) love the thread spools. I have a cute one that is plastic and I do not know what year it is from. It is like a carousel. I think I will post about it on my blog tomorrow and maybe someone will have an idea.
