Almost Done 12 more caddies to go and I will be ready for Fridays show!!

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! I will be done with sticky gluey fingers today!!! I was really worried I would not get through this when my thumb started giving me issues and this is definitely what did it (building caddies) cause I am sore again!

Thread Caddy Sizes that are Available

I have 3 sizes I am currently making they are Medium holds 12 bobbins for $13, Large holds 18 bobbins for $20 or the one that was designed to hold all 36 pre-wound cardboard side bobbins (from Superior Threads or Piece-O-cake) for $25. I will custom make any size in any fabric you like

I LOVE to hear from You!

I just received an e-mail from a woman who bought a caddy from me at a quilt show last year while on vacation here in Florida. She said my caddy was featured in a gadget gurus session in Illinois! Word is getting out there from quilters sharing their love of using Thread caddies while sewing on the go!
 I designed the caddy to fit a need I had, to take a large selection of colors of thread in a small amount of space that was easy to use when I sat and waited for Doctor appointments or in the car, etc...
When other quilters saw mine when I would stitch at meetings they wanted one too and that is how I "wound up" (excuse the pun) here! Making thread caddy after caddy as fast as I can. I have actually aggravated the joint in my thumb and wrist from over use to the point I had to get an injection & have to wear a brace when it really pains me.
I love to hear from you tell me what you like or even what you don't like about the caddy.
I may have to kit it up in the future and teach classes on how to make them if  the arthritis in my hands keeps giving me trouble.
Until then I will keep on keeping on!
Thanks Peggy for endorsing The Thread Caddy!!!! Hope to see you at the show!
