It's called a pen knife around here, a pocket knife too. I only know it as the knife boy scouts use

My rotary cutter and mat are my all time favorite. Couldn't do any quilting without them. The little light that makes my sewing area brighter is next and don't forget the wonderful fabrics we have to work with and can barely stand to cut any of them.

Does a Bendable Bright Light count as a notion? If so, that puppy is my all time favorite!!! Cannot hardly sew without it. For handquilting, my very favorite is the rubber finger cots. I buy them at Office Supply Stores & always buy sev boxes at a time. Cannot handquilt without them. As you can guess by now, I see myself really being set in my ways. LOL
