I hand piece and hand quilt, here are my seven essentials (with links):
1. Quilting thimble: Comfort thimble -- they are comfortable!

2. (Leather) Piecing thimble: by etsy artist "nsmartist"

3. Omnigrid Travel Tool Kit

4. Gutermann thread -- grey or light brown, good for piecing and quilting

5. Thread snips by Farmore

6. Civil war reproduction fabric scraps to piece
7. Gingher dressmaking shears

Wow, seven items went fast, I didn't even get to the hand needles, or two of my favorite notions: my amish-made circular pin cushion with wooden base, or my small (thimble) storage pouch from a trip to the International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.
