I check out the Dollarama regularly for supplies. I've never seen a great quilting book, great find! I have bought the mesh back support for my sewing chair. I bought a 24 pack of foam heart and star shapes for pinning to my quilt sandwich for free motion quilting. I can do those freehand but I had trouble getting spacing, so I pin them at regular intervals and do loops in between. I bought the metal 1/4 in poles with the refector for your driveway to use as wallhanging pole. I just cut to length with a hack saw. I buy the white cotton gloves for handling quilts at our quilt show. I used the thin plastic placemats for side supports in a bag. I use the metal shower hangers for hanging my rulers and (with a bulldog clips) for hanging up small projects. I use the big magnetic clothespins to put up notes and small projects on my metal outside door.....and the list goes on. :-D

I buy lots and lots of the scribbler tablets for grandkids and recently while working on a PP project grabbed one of their tablets, went to the sewing machine and using large needle and no thread stitched over the block pattern. I could make at least twelve patterns at a time. Having already stitched out the pattern on the paper and then sewing the fabric using that same stitching line allowed easy removal of the paper when the block was finished

Just the book, the dressform a friend gave me today.
