I got these bags of spools last month in a thrift store:
The bags were $4 each
As you can see to the right of the pic I already had a spool jar where I was saving spools I had used for decoration, so these will be added to that eventually.
Tons of spools once I opened the bags
Small spools on display in my etched glass bowl
Medium spools on display in my small vase
Large spools lined up on a shelf, I will actually slowly use this for piecing to empty the spools then add them to the large vase of empty spools
Some leftover small spools that didn't fit in the vases will get used up asap and added to the empty spool jar too, so they are next to my sewing machine with all my other notions.
Quilting is an expensive hobby. How have you been thrifty lately to allow you to afford this hobby? Have you; shopped in a thrift store, bought 'on sale' or discounted fabrics, reused fabric from clothes etc?
