This is going on my wish list.. actually I'd love to find a vintage 1960's one .. I've looked and often they are pretty beat up.

I love the Matchbox car boxes for thread storage. You can see what’s inside before you open it. I have labeled the handle end with the type/size of thread. I use 12 wt, 30 wt, cotton, rayon, variegated, etc. I am so fortunate to have purchased 3 boxes (not Matchbox brand) 20 years ago for $5 each at WalMart. (They no longer have them. I have been searching myself. It was 20 years ago!) Besides the 3 of those, I have a specially produced Mettler case of 60 threads, a case of rayons produced for embroidery machines, and next to my sewing machine I have 5 drawers with ‘extra’ spools and my every day use cottons and polys. I once counted my threads. Honestly, I have over 500, but only a dozen are cones, the rest are spools.
Girls rule, boys drool. My cousin Mark and I always fwere in wars about his cars.over So, my block is pink with flowers because girls rule, boys drool.
I have several of you ‘thread’ boxes. The kids have taken the cars out. I might have to ‘borrow’ them to hold thread.
Thank for these fun quilt blocks.
I also have two younger brothers and I played with their cars as well. First it were Dinky Toys cars and later on the matchbox ones that really did come in a box like matches. They were much cheaper, which helped their succes.
Luckily I also have a sister with whom I could play with paperdolls for days on end.
Thank you Pat for these fun sew alongs. I am not doing this one right now but printing off and doing fire I finish a couple of those kits you talked about today. I want to do the sew along in vintage material as I think of Childhood games that I played and you are hitting them all.
You are bringing back such memories and a smile when things are so difficult! Thank you Pat, for always being such an incredibly generous ray of sunshine!
I want to thank you for your on line posts. I know I can’t afford to order all the time, but I think you are my hero. I look at your site. All the time and I just want to say “God Bless you for all the joy you give to so many”.
I still have all the metal cars my kids played with and when the grandchildren come over that is the first thing they ask for even before Legos
this is fun… my sister and I were always begging our brothers to let us play with their hotwheels. sometimes they let us, and sometimes they didn’t. So we put “hotwheels” on our Christmas list one year. And we each got one. they were good for hours of fun. We’d make roads and buildings and towns in the back yard, with dirt and leaves and sticks etc. Sometimes we’d let the brothers play with us, and sometimes we didn’t feel like letting them play with us. ha ha ha-we figured it was fair turn around.
