This is a realistic still life painting of red and yellow onions. I wanted to try something different than the previous still lifes I’d done. The shapes, colors, and placement of the onions piqued my interest as well. This art piece will look great in a formal dining room, café, or restaurant.

A unique still life oil painting featuring four vintage sewing thread on spools made of wood. Each spool contains sewing thread of a different color: red, orange, green, and blue. A sewing needle is stuck through the green spool. The background is painted in a neutral gray color to match its companion painting. The painting is one of two in a series and is signed by oil painting artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left-hand corner.

Artist Comments

This painting is part The Wooden Spool Series. I call it “Great-Grandma’s Sewing Thread #2” because we live in the modern era, and thread is no longer sold on wooden spools. Sewing thread spun on wooden spools was probably used by our great-grandmothers, but not so much nowadays. Sewing thread is now sold on plastic spools.

Manufacturers are no longer making these wooden thread spools, but that doesn’t mean they have no value. In some ways, they can still have some usefulness. One benefit of these vintage spools is that they last a long time and can be reused in a variety of ways long after the thread runs out.

I recall playing with empty wooden spools as a child. I strung them on a string and used them to make necklaces. When I played with my Barbie dolls, I also used them for doll furniture, among other things.

Vintage wooden spools are useful for a variety of arts and crafts projects. Using your imagination, you could transform them into beautiful artwork or something else that would give them new life. Use them yourself or for a project, your children could enjoy. Better yet, use them in a project that you and your children could enjoy doing together.

A still life painting of two antique wooden spools with sewing thread. The spools are filled with different colors of thread, one red, and one blue. A sewing needle is stuck through the blue spool of thread. The background is painted in the same light gray as its companion painting. This is one of two paintings in a series and is signed by vintage artist Teresa Bernard in lower left side.

This original painting is perfect for cramped spaces or rooms because of its small size. It was painted by hand on 6×6-inch gallery wrap canvas.

Artist Comments

This painting is part of the Wooden Spool Series. I call it “Great-Grandma’s Sewing Thread #1” because we have now come to the age where thread no longer comes on wooden spools. Our great-grandmothers would have probably used sewing thread spun on wooden spools.

Today’s wooden spools are over 50 years old and are considered antiques. Sewing thread is now sold on plastic spools, and most likely our grandmothers, and most assuredly, our mothers would have sewn their projects with thread spun on plastic spools.

I remember playing with empty wooden spools when I was a young child in the 60-70s. As I grew older, my grandmother began teaching me how to sew doll clothes and other items. However, I barely remember thread coming on anything but plastic spools. I remember raiding my grandmother’s sewing box for just the right color of thread I needed, and I remember finding some wooden spools there.

Unfortunately, wooden spools met their demise back in the 1970s when manufacturers stopped using them to spin thread on. It was purely a business decision. It was more cost-effective for them to use plastic spools instead. If you happen to come across a vintage sewing spool, don’t throw it away; hang on to it. Wooden spools are antiques and do have some value. Just how much it is worth depends on how old the spool is and its condition.
