My turn

Thank you Chookyblue for invitation to join SAL again. 
Loved the idea for using `Red Home`,`Tis the Season` and `Some Kind of Wonderful`. This was a wonderful way of making ear-marked projects. 
I think it`s about time I showed mine for the month of January.


I  started by making the small `Thread Catcher` and then saw the pattern on my yearly calender for the cotton reel.
 As you can see it turned out much bigger than it should be! A lovely storage container for me.
Till next month,
 Happy Stitching,
Clare.
