I saw a tutorial today about Thread Catchers and thought
I would give it a try. They really do work!!! Also I am
going to Shipshawana this Wednesday and I just had
to make a name tag. I know, I know I didn't have room
enough for all the letters of my name so I shortened
it.

Those threadcatchers are very cute. Is there a pattern?

How cute!!

So cute!

Very cool, how did you make them?

Very cute ... But what the heck is a thredcatcher?? :)

The threadcatchers are to put your threads in after you snip them. That thread catcher is adorable!!

Inquiring minds want to know --- where's the tutorial? Those are adorable!

I think this is it:

they are very cute. my thread catcher - wait for it, my floor!

Those are just too cute.

Thanks for the link...these are so cute...and beats me forgetting to bring the trashcan each time I move to an area where I don't have one...

I use a mug for a thread catcher. Works fine and is decorative too...has a cat on it. :)

Than you!!! There is a tutorial on the QB for it.
Just search for Triangle Thread Catcher Tutorial.

Cute

Very cute thread catchers; and love the name tag. Thank you for sharing.

These will work good for taking to quilting too, Thanks for the link to the thread catchers. Neat Idea

Love them, glad you found the tute for us. We can use a little gift for our quilting friends, right?

Have to make one of these

so cute

Ditto for me too!

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!

Well,I will be making one or two to put wrapped hard candies in for little gifts to the patients where my daughter works,or on ones desk or whatever!

Cute!

That is a super idea!!!! Wished I would have
thought of that!!!

this is really cute. Love it.. Going to make a few to give as gifts thanks for the link..

I just went to the tutorial....excellent! Thanks for the website mhunt! And GABBYABBY thanks for telling us about them. I'm going to make them for my quilting friends for Christmas. 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.

Like the votive candle is a great idea. Could make them out of Christmas material for gifts.
