    For me it is scissors and rotary cutters. I seem to have gathered quite a collection!

    I have tons of threads and books. They will never reach the amount of fabric I have but it is close.

    New ideas: downloaded photos that inspire me and tutorials that I may want to do -- someday.

    Patterns and books. Then I use the same patterns over and over for charity quilts. For art quilts, rarely do I do the same thing twice.

    Sewing machines, patterns, books. I have so much stuff that when my husband wanted to re carpet upstairs and I asked if he was gonna help move all the sewing room stuff downstairs, he seems to have decided he doesnt' want to re carpet that badly lol

    I am fortunate to have married into a family who sewed. From a great aunt I was gifted several antique thimbles; and have also been given some old small scissors and shears and buttons!
