Do you have some cool quilt tools that are usually something else? Read on and be sure to leave me a comment at the end!
Let's start with something simple. Like a Tin. An adorable tin... as you can't use just ANY tin for you quilting can you?
This cutie pie tin came filled with Valentine sweets from my best buddie Pam Kitty Morning... she does find the BEST things EVER (be sure to read her BLOG)
This little tool came from my friend Stevii Graves. We were at our sewing group and she pulled it out of her bag and handed it to me... now what in the world was I going to do with this? What do you think?
Stevii knows I travel a lot and she told me the suctions can be put on my car window so I have a holder while traveling!!! She is SO Brilliant.. I love her!
Do you know what these are? No? Neither did I when during a workshop one of the ladies passed out one to everybody. think on it.... ready?
They are SLICED POOL Noodles! She told us they make PERFECT pincushions.. and if you are clever you could stick them to your machine with something. Super fun and she got a zillion of them from one noodle!.
ok.. one more.. read on!
Keeping bobbins organized is a constant battle for most of us. I happen to be of the 'fewest bobbins used' school of sewing. I will use up colors when piecing so I often just have half of one of these rings filled.
But many of you are of the 'More Bobbins are Better' school and i have some ideas for you that I spotted on Pinterest.. here we go!
I SO LOVE these ideas! Bobbin Storage Mania!... the pretty valentine heart is super cool.. you could stack them!
