do you use this quilting tool?

My husband has a pile of "little pencils" also. He doesn't quilt but saves pencils. I think he names them because when one is missing he goes looking for it. Gets upset if he can't find it. Go figure.

HaHa! He sounds like a character that I would like! I am frugal so I use them until they won't work in my hand anymore and I have many this small size. I don't use them for quilting though, I use a mechanical pencil to get precision without all of the sharpening.

Does your sweet pencil-packing DH do binding?? (MY most hated job!) I think doing all the cutting is really neat, but I'd definitely get a second pencil sharpener for upstairs, unless you just enjoy the excercise!

The pencil sharpener is the old school kind that is mounted on the wall, in case everyone is wondering why I don't take it upstairs.
LOL at lynndiane and her DH!!

i can relate- i have a box on my table with a *bundle* of pencils that look just like that---i just keep them in the small box instead of rubber-banded together, but i use small pencils- use them til they are no longer *usable*...my (adult children) tell me all the time...pencils are cheap- but i seem to get attached to a good pencil- don't want to switch pencils til i absolutely have to...one of those...quirks

LOLOL! I would faint and fall in it if my precious hubby picked up any quilting tool, other than to ask what it is! If he would do my cutting, he could do it with a kitchen knife! Count yourself as one lucky girl!
