They're contagious......

I haven't signed up for Chookyblue's SAL, but I have still caught the bug. All the thread catchers looked so I good, I thought I could use one next to my chair in the lounge room. Hmmmm.......maybe I need one beside the sewing machine..........and one at the ironing board too.



I don't think I'm done yet. They are very cute, quick and handy. It was good to use a couple of novelty fabrics too.

Thanks for everyone's comments about which thread they use. It made for some very interesting conversations.

The hot weather is back today, so I'm laying low with some stitching. Hope you're having a good day and staying cool (or warm depending on where you are).

  4. They do look adorable with those fabrics!
    I'm afraid I'm weakening and could find myself making some once this weather cools down and I can go back to the sewing machine room.

  15. They are so cute and your choices of fabric are lovely. I do like the striped linig. This project and the scrappy trip around the world are popping up everywhere. Such great projects with universal appeal.
