Default For all you hand sewers out there...

what do you keep your supplies in to take from room to room, place to place? I hand quilt and do needle turn applique, and am looking for a new receptacle to keep all my my little supplies in. Any suggestions? Thanks,Gina

I bought a really pretty fabric covered box at Tuesday Morning- it is big enough to hold my supplies and looks nice too. Everything is contained in one box- until I get to my sewing room that is.

Small tool boxes or tackle boxes work well for some people.

I picked up a zippered pouch about 6 x 8 x 1" thick in Lancaster a couple of years ago. Dirt cheap. Holds a ton of stuff. When I start pulling out tools/such it reminds me of the clown cars at the circus...they just keep coming and coming!

I have a plastic box that I call my "kit". It's made by Sterilite of Massachusetts. I have them in many sizes but the kit box is just about the size of a shoe box, and has blue snap handles. I bring extras of many things to church quilting on Tuesdays, just in case other ladies need to borrow something.

Small basket! iPad spells what it wants. I HATE the auto spell feature. Turn it off, but then have to capitalize! I want to throw it out the window!!
