do you use this quilting tool?

LOL, for years at school we threw out pencils 3 inches long and shorter so kids would be able to print properly. As it turns out some kids can print better with the short pencils! Your DH knows what works best!

I still like to sketch up a quick idea with a pencil, but if you got him EQ7, he would be HOOKED. Check out my post about 10 min ago. You should be able to find it by my name. BTW, EQ7 is 20% off at the EQ website through Monday, I think. Frame those pencils and go modern. :0)
Here is one of DH's most treasured tools - his collection of little tiny pencils that he uses for marking fabric. He does most of the cutting and won't use a rotary cutter. Makes his own patterns too. I tell him he is WAY out of date.
Anyway he won't throw any pencils out until they are so small the pencil sharpener eats them. He keeps a bundle of them like this and when they are all dull he hands them to me to sharpen.
I was using one today and thought you would all get a kick out of it.

I can't help but respond! Those pencils are just fine. As long as they are longer than your first finger they are not nubs and can be sharpened. I am a teacher and that is my rule. I appreciate the fact he saves what works instead of chucking it into the landfill. Besides, husband and wife that share an activity are precious beyond comparison. <3
