I thought I was the only one with a large, horizontal thread catcher! The funniest is my 9 year old son - he's seen me do this sew much that it's exactly what he does when he sews! He went to a "quilt camp" and the ladies were laughing when they told me he had the messiest floor area. I had to confess that he got if from me!

So cute, and very useful. I could have used one while making my big scrappy quilt. I ended up with thread clipping everywhere!

I made one last night too and so easy and fast to make. They would also make cute ornaments too and you could put a little wrapped candy in it and hang it on the tree. You could also use it for a little trinket box too. Huggies, Fay

Your triangle thread catchers are adorable! I checked out the link you posted. As I was reading the directions, I realized that I have the triangle template it calls for. So, you know what I did? Yup! I made one! I like the idea of putting a votive candle in it and giving as a gift! It doesn't call for that much material at all.

Thank you for posting this and the link to the tutorial! Have a great day!

I seen that and I like the jester hat thread catcher too. Neat webstie! I can't wait to make some. Thought these would make such great little Christmas gifts for our quilter friends.
