First Thread Basket
Hi everyone,
This is my first year on Chooky's SAL blog and I'm excited to be here.
Here is my first thread basket.
A few years ago I was trying to teach myself Redwork and this little block was lying around so I made use of it.
I'm loving all the pictures of shoe bags and baskets!
Looking forward to the next project.

Hi Margaret, I love your thread basket! It is a such a pretty pattern. Do you mind if I'll keep a picture of it on my PC?
Not at all Radka. I'm glad you like it :)
The redwork design was a freebie some years ago on the Bird Brain website but I think it disappeared a long time ago now.

What a fabulous way to use your Red Work stitchery..

Your thread catcher is so lovely and I think it showcases your stitchery well.
Great idea to use a little block for it... so pretty...

Welcome Margaret! How beautiful is your threat catcher! You have really inspired me to 'spiff' up my next one. They really are adictive.
