My ( iffy) tools generally get moved from the quilting stuff to the crafting or even the junk drawer- the scissors may wind up in a first aid kit, or just in a sleeve in the glovebox of the car ( I’m amazed how often I’ve needed scissors in the car- to cut a tag, those pesky plastic things- or just to break into a quick snack)
the rulers are usually still good enough for paper crafts, or any number of handy moments outside the sewing room. Fabrics I don’t use for quilting can still be put to use- my granddaughters used to love making what they called treasure boxes- usually a file paper box with a lid- they would grab my basket of those fabrics, ones that I wouldn’t use for quilting and they glued fabrics pieces all over the boxes- they love those boxes- smaller boxes and pizza boxes work great too. Lots of uses for those things we no longer use to make a quilt. 🤗
