Here is a link to the finished thread case. It is one of three views showing the completed case. It has been a lot of fun taking you along on this ride. I appreciate all the comments that you have shared and I hope that the finished product is as good in completion as it was in anticipation. It is for me. Which brings me to the next phase of this whole thing. You will see the case sitting atop a small oak table. That is not the final resting place for this case. I am now in the process of building a base for the Thread Case out of Cherry, that will match the style of the upper case and have 2 doors on it and will provide storage for large spools of thread and a sewing machine. I never know when to say enough, it seems. I originally thought to have this case sit atop a long table,adjacent to another case that would house the cones. But, I have reconfigured my sewing room and moved some things around including the Janome 1600 Sewing Machine to an upstairs room that I will use for finishing off the assembly of the quilts when I stitch the quilt sandwich. I pretty much use that machine for that purpose only, so it seemed I should utilize the main sewing room for just that, sewing. Well, this sewing thing is always a work in progress, it seems, and probably will not be finished until the day I die. I hope so, anyway.
Enjoy,
