Hi Everyone:
As I was appliqueing a tulip quilt block this morning I realized there are several things that I use EVERYTIME I make a quilt or sew. I thought it might be fun to share these items with you all and hopefully you'll all share the things you can't sew without. I'll attach a picture of my MUST HAVES!
1. Long Tweezers-helps thread needles, arrange & tucks applique/seams
2. Spray Starch
3. Sidewinder Bobbin Filler
4. Rotary Cutter
5. Big and small Scissors
6. Iron
7. Sewing Machine or two
8. Spray Bottle of Water
9. Seam Ripper or two
10. My music

:oops: :( I FORGOT ONE OF MY BEST TOOLS....the lint brush...I use it for sweeping across my cutting board and my ironing mat plus sometimes when you dig in your stash (especially scraps) there is lots of thread and lint stuck to the fabric so I just brush it and all the loose stuff comes up quick and easy...soooooo, there are actually at least 11 MUSTHAVES...not 10 as I originally indicated :oops:

Ahhhhhhhh Feathers! What an adorable kitty. As I said in the recent post "cat pictures", I'm a kitty admirerer.
As for 10 things, I need
1. Music or a video
2. A small vacuum for those stray nubs
3. SHARP scissors
4. NEW rotary blades
5. Needle threader (getting old is hell)
6. a kitty
7. A diet Mtn Dew
8. Lots of full bobbins
9. Knowing my housework is already done, supper is planned, so I can RELAX
10. You guys on this quiltingboard for ideas and questions! THANX.

Just don't close the box up on him/her!
I also have my music, but have a small tv too. Sometimes I'll want to listen to a show while I"m sewing.
