I have a lap hoop that fits nicely in a tote I got at Joann's. I keep the thread I'm currently using in one pocket, and an old, hard-sided eyeglass case that contains: folding scissors, needles, thimbles (one is a little larger than the other, for when my hands are swollen), and an "Aunt Betty". It makes baby quilts very portable. I'll need to get a larger bag when I quilt something larger.
