FNWF Progress

After having such a busy day sorting out paperwork and making lots of phone calls I hid away in my workroom and sewed......
This was my set up......... A drink, a DVD playing and my sewing

This is what I got done.... 4 thread catchers made with pink crumbs for the trade table

Then I finished this......
My GAIL PAN stitcheries design. Using COTTAGE GARDEN THREAD no... 1201.. PEACOCK




MADE INTO A THREAD HOLDER FOR COTTAGE GARDEN THREADS....


 It fits 24 threads...
 

And I got some more started but more of that later...

I'm linking up with.

Your thread catchers are so adorable. I have never seen this pattern. What pattern did you use? These look small and perfect for a gift. Thanks.

Some lovely finishes , those little thread catchers are so cute , what a terrific way to use up some crumbs .

Love the stitchery made up into the thread holder. I am currently making something similar for all my knitting needles so everything is in the one place. Going to take quite a while lol as there is no pattern to follow etc. Love those thread catchers too and all that you have achieved for April OPAM to

Just popping by from the FNwF sign up post. My goodness you got a lot accomplished on Friday night! And you certainly had a productive April as well!

I love that little stitchery that you finished and turned into a thread holder.

I've recently started a new weekly Stitchery Link Party for all things hand embroidered and I would love to have you come link up this post (or one of your other posts) and share your work with my readers. http://www.supermomnocape.com/2015/05/04/vintage-embroidery-monday-stitchery-link-party-4/
