Amazing!
 

I recently started quilting again and my quilting stuff was kinda all over the place but contained if you know what I mean. Finding my fabric, thread and rulers and some other quilting stuff was relatively easy. But I knew I had some other things that I hadn't found. Tonite I found a whole pile of things that I knew I had but couldn't put my finger on them. I found my placemat tool caddy full of needles, timbles, sewing machine needles, tapes, rotary cutting blades all new. A baby quilt already quilted ready for binding and that was there too all ready to sew on, my Bargello quilt 3/4 finished ( couldn't believe that there was 45 fabrics in it) along with the border fabrics and binding fabric and pattern. Also found the pattern for the big quilted bag I made just before I stopped quilting that holds a cutting mat, long ruler 24" and you could put a huge quilt in there too. I feel like a kid in the toy store. Things are finally coming together in my little room.

Sounds like you are pretty well set to start quilting. Have fun!( and share pictures)

Oh, isn't that fun! Welcome back to the world of quilting. You will spend many hours cutting and sewing and creating wonderful treasures.

Welcome back! Sounds like your ready to dive back in! Start swimming and have fun!!!!!

can you share the placemat tool caddy?

Awesome, have fun!!!!

Hurray for you, Peggy! welcome to the Board and hope to be hearing from you as you start up a new project! Nothing like a new (old) adventure in quilting!

Hey, I am glad you found quilting again. And finding toys and tools too....yes!

Searching for things is a way of life for me these days. It is a good feeling when you find the lost item. Glad you found your toys, now it is time to play.

It is basically a placemat that you sew different sized freezer bags in the middle and add handles and Velcro to close it. Hope the picture helps it's really old and used[ATTACH=CONFIG]459427[/ATTACH]

Its like Christmas! How fun to find all those great things just waiting for you.

Have some fun and welcome back with us.

Its like Christmas all over...Enjoy your new found quilting....

Welcome back to quilting. And thanks for sharing the placemat tool caddy. I've been thinking about something like this to keep all my applique tools/supplies in one spot (I currently have 4 small pouches of "stuff").

I think that's great.

I recently went through a similar situation. It was like Christmas! I am still finding things and am having a lot of fun. Congratulations on returning to quilting.

Whenever I straighten out my sewing area and fabrics, I sometimes feel like I have gone on a treasure hunt as I will always find something I'd been looking for, something I forgot I had and sometimes a finished or nearly finished project or too. Almost makes it worth cleaning doesn't it?

How much fun you have had finding your new treasures. It is like looking through the tubs of fabric and realize how much special fabric are awaiting me. lol Enjoy yourself rediscovering quilting.

Love your placemat tool caddy. I have more fun with things like that!

You really found your treasure trove!

It was meant to be !!!!!!!!!!!! yay ....

How fun !!!! Good for you !!

Welcome back to quilting. I am sure you are going to fall right back into the joy of touching fabric, and taking one piece of fabric apart to put back together with many other pretty fabrics to make a new piece of fabric to place on the wall or on a bed. Good luck locating the rest of your treasures

I love those discoveries.

What is a placemat tool? I think I need one!!
