Harbor Freight
Yes, another "have to have it" find at our favorite non-quilting store!
The heater in my car is practically non-existant. I've been putting off getting it fixed, and I saw that HF has heaters that you plug into your cigarette lighter but at $20 each, I've put that off too. Well the temp dropped enough to talk me into it! And I came home and found the HF ad in the mailbox and on the front page was a coupon to get the heater for $11!! Hooray!!
Anyway, I was looking through the rest of the paper, because I want to get one (or two) of those magnet bowls (which are $1 off too!) and went online to see if it would be better to order it... anyway, after looking around the site, I saw THIS: http://www.harborfreight.com/magneti...and-96533.html and I knew I had to share!!!

That is cool. Wonder if they know how many quilters use their "non-quilting tools". I bought a small storage box that was just right for storing bobbins. Pd 1.99 for it. Lots cheaper than a "bobbin box" at a quilting store. Thanks for the link.

This is neat. I am going to be all over this as soon as I get feeling better. I love Harbor Freight, I use their blades all the time, love the magnetic bowl too. Thanks for sharing.

I actually bought the wrist magnet the same day that I bought my telescoping magnet wand (for picking pins up off the floor), and the magnet bowl. Spent well under $10.00 for the bunch (probably closer to $6 or $7). LOVE Harbor Freight!!!

I went to the store last night. They were out of the telescoping magnets and the small (cheaper) magnet bowl. I got the larger one. I never found the wrist band.
I might have to try to make one of these. I can't imagine how handy this would be!
And the car heater? It was a waste of time. I took it back.

I have a magnetic wrist band that i never use. I have several magnetic pin holders but the bowl looks interesting. I think I need the head lamp because the lighting in my room is so bad. I have been meaning to order the blades but haven't done it yet. Thanks for sharing the link.

I am also a Harbor Freight fan and gets many things for quilting there, but a word of caution. I bought several of those magnetic bowls and let me tell you, those magnets are extremely STRONG. I was afraid to get them anywhere near my computerized sewing machine so gave them to my DH for his shop.

Just make sure you keep your magnetic bowl away from the sewing machines. I was not bright enough to do that and now all decorative stitches are going backwards. My straight stitch still works as does the reverse.
