Thank you so much for tuning in to the Cozyegg podcast/flosstube! In this episode I share my progress on Anniversaries of the Heart, a long-standing Chatelaine WIP, and Colonial Garden. Plus, what I’m reading and how I store my threads.

Thread Storage

All of my thread are kept on my bookshelf in our office/craft room. My overdyed cottons and silks (as well as miscellaneous threads like metallics and wools) are kept in these photo storage boxes.


Inside the photo boxes, I have the threads organized by company and in alphabetical order by thread name. In the case of AVAS or NPIs, they are in numerical order. I used my label maker to create the labels and everything is in Floss-A-Way bags.


My DMC is kept on bobbins in bobbin boxes and labeled. I have three boxes that are for specific projects and then the rest of my DMC is in numerical order. I hated the look of the bobbin boxes, so I covered some cardboard with this Blackbird fabric and can slide that over the bobbin boxes (Eric’s idea).
