All the stores are having school supplies on SALE . Is there anything a quilter could stock up on this time of year ! I got a couple pencil sharpeners for my class bag and desk. :?:

Protractor
Compass
Graph Paper
Pentel Erasers
Automatic pencils

Storage containers, good for thread, cutters, misc tools and supplies
Scissors for paper (extras to leave out for family use :wink: :D:D:D
Elmers School glue
Glue sticks

I like the pretty folders, with the pocket on each side. When I pull stuff from quilt mags, I use the folders... Also, for patterns I print off, templates, whatever. Nice to way to organize a project too...

1. 3 ring binders to store your patterns that you print off from the computer
2. long three hole punch
3. plastic sleeves to hold patterns'
4. pencil holders to keep your scissors, rotary cutter in
5. desk organizers
6. new mouse pad so you can cover with fabric

Those black and white composition books make nice gifts when a soft fabric cover is added to them. Check on the board for a few tutorials on how to make them.

Notebooks for keeping your list of projects in
Color pencils
Sticky Notes
Printer Paper

extra lead for your mechanical pencils if you use them to mark quilts. Graph paper.

All of the above, but especially the glue sticks!

I love those notebooks ! Just bought a few . I will look up the covers.

I like No. 6. I had never thought about this. Great idea. Thank you for sharing.

I think I buy more glue sticks than anything else. DH said I went through my six pack of glue sticks faster than he did his six pack of beer :shock: I also use double sided scotch tape.

I had forgot about double sided tape... :D Thanks for mentioning this :D:D:D
