Applique
I always have an applique project ready to go. If you don't applique, now is the time to try your hand at it. Find a pattern or book, have your pieces traced out and ready to transfer to your fabrics or have your pieces pinned to the background. Take your matching threads in a bag along with your scissors, pin cushion, thimble and the background. This also comes in handy when you have to go for an appointment. You can sit and applique while you are waiting. I get a lot of blocks done using this portable idea. In fact, I got really enthused (sp?) and made a small carrying case or holder just for this purpose.
