Thanks for your comments on my last post . Finally , I have a sewing finish to show .
After seeing thread catcher on various blogs , I decided to make one . It is a one day finish item and I did both hand and machine sewing . It was good to use sewing accessories - mat, rotary cutter , quilt ruler , marking pen which usually are rarely used . The free tutorial can be found here .
I have run out of some threads for my cross stitch WIPs and will hopefully receive in few days .
Here are some great pictures of the skyline as viewed from our seventh floor apartment and taken by Anshita in last two months .
Hope you enjoyed seeing the pics . Our front balcony is west facing so we get to see sunset everyday :) Some of these are very beautiful compared to the sunsets we have seen at various tourists places .
Have a crafty week ahead

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thread catcher. I love your pictures. Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, it could be used as a yarn catcher too, I have trails of yarn all over the house. Beautiful skies amazing colours. :) xx
ReplyDeleteI love your thread catcher. I've been planning to make one for a while but have never really had time to sit down and make it....it would take me ages as I don't really get along with my sewing machine ;) Your pictures are amazing, it must be wonderful to watch the sun set every evening.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those lovely sky photos.
ReplyDeleteA friend in California has made many of those thread catchers. Awesome sky photos. This is the best time of year for capturing color and clouds.
ReplyDeleteThread catcher looks lovely... The pics of sunset are awesome.... so many colours simply love it. Currently Delhi is battling smog .... so no clear sky only smoke filled polluted air :(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Preeti.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great view you have! Lovely photos. I have a thread catcher that I won from another stitcher and it's so useful. It looks as if you did a great job with yours.
ReplyDeleteLovely, your new thread catcher. I one received one as a gift from a stitching friend but I have never tried to make one myself. Thanks for the link to the tutorial.
