Chookyblue........

So, One isn't enough Chookyblue???

OK, I got the message - more than one Thread Catcher is the go!

I am a bit of a matchy-matchy person - I originally started with a smallish bag - about 9" square and liked it so much I bought the big bag and then.... a bit more ...then I found the same fabric - so now I have a mug bag,  (and a black and white spotted mug), a coaster, a tidy bag that hangs off the table, a small sewing case and a block holder (not shown here).  Here is some  of my collection . . 


and of course I had to make the new-you-beaut Thread Catcher for my machine sewing away from home days.



I'm sure this is an illness.
