For several years I have kept and counted my empty spools at the end of the year. Silly? Maybe, but the art teacher enjoys them, and I enjoy the counting.
The total for 2021 is 23, again. How have I done that three times?
Here are past years for comparison:
2020: 48
2019: 23
2018: 23
2017: 36
2016: 40
2015: 103 (the year of partial spools and the 52 in 2015 project)

Sounds like a fun thing to do. Maybe this year will be one more
Very impressive!
My count would never be that high but I think I will give it a try. Who knows it might encourage me to quilt more. 🙂
I too count empty spools. I had 21 this year. I string mine on a strip of selvedge and it hangs around my sewing room. Looking at it makes me smile, and since I have saved spools since 2012, I have gotten lots of smiles from it.
Wow. Lots of sewing to get that many spools.
Consistent!
