Keep your sewing space clutter-free with a thread catcher
Trina Gallop of Will Cook for Shoes did a guest post at Janome Life blog where she shares how she keeps her sewing table neat. Of the project she says,
This pretty little thread catcher definitely keeps my space a little neater and it’s a quick project!
This is much cuter than the plastic sandwich bag I tape near my machine. Click the link below to get the know-how.

I recently treated myself to “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” by Jennifer Chiaverini for the upcoming holiday season. As a fan of the Elm Creek Quilts series, I couldn’t resist diving into this heartwarming tale of Christmas traditions and family legacies.
The anticipation of exploring the holiday festivities at Elm Creek Manor is palpable, especially with Sylvia Bergstrom Compson, the Master Quilter, at the helm. Sarah McClure’s eagerness to bring Christmas cheer to the manor adds an extra layer of excitement as she uncovers a curious Christmas quilt with a rich history spanning generations.
As I eagerly await immersing myself in this delightful narrative, I’m already captivated by the promise of cherished memories, family bonds, and the timeless traditions that have endured through the years. With each page promising glimpses into the past and the present, I’m bracing myself for a heartwarming journey filled with love, hope, and the spirit of giving.
Being a part of the Elm Creek Quilts series has been a joyous experience, and I can’t wait to unwrap the magic of “The Christmas Quilt / The New Year’s Quilt” this holiday season. So, no spoilers, please—let the enchanting tale unfold as I cozy up with this beloved series once again.
Please make sure not to leave me any spoilers as I haven’t read it yet.
Hello Scarlett, Just browsing some of the links that you are so wonderfully giving us. I have not actually made this, but it seems to be an excellent tutorial. My sewing friend, has made one exactly like this that she uses all the time, but I do not know where she got the pattern. So I do think this calls for a double take and a couple hours of squeezed in time and walla I will have one also! Thanks for sharing and have a fantastic creative day!
