Do You Ever Wonder......

.....how long it takes to use a cone of thread.


Today I found out - 9 months 10 days.
The idea came from JudyL at Patchwork Times when she had dated one of her cones, so I decided to see how long it took me.  I like piecing with Masterpiece Cotton Thread, I believe it's 50wt so it doesn't add much bulk to the seams.  I started using the cone on 3/8/11 and today it ran out.  I always cringe when I spend $20 for a cone of thread, but divided by 9 months it's only $2.22 per month - much more livable.

WOW - 2 posts in one day!
