Thread Catchers Done!

Hi everyone, I'm back again to join in with this year's swap. I am quite excited about what we will be making this year, I know it is going to be fun!

Like many others have been saying these thread catchers are so cute and addictive I had to make three:


Hmmm... I have time this month to make more, don't I?!
