My thread catcher
 

Went to a quilt retreat and saw several quilters using these awesome thread catchers in different shapes and sizes. They seemed super practical even to gather miscellaneous sewing notions.

Found a free pattern online and this is my thread catcher. I love that it does not take up working space.

Looks great! My cousin keeps one in her retreat kit and at both of her other machines.

nicely done... great fabric

Here is a better pic

Very cute!!!

I presume that the wee cushion thing is weighted somehow ?
Neat idea :) I admit I just use a wooden bowl to gather the threads.

Yes I used rice as that's what I had handy and bit of polyester stuffing so it serves as a pin cushion as well.

I use the padded part as a pin cousin, right next to my machine. Very handy,

Thanks for sharing this great idea!
