do you own for quilting / sewing.
I have so many Ginghers of all sizes and kinds.
Is that odd.

I don't think so. But I am not tell how many I have.

I don't know! I've never counted them.

Including the 5 pairs in the kitchen, living room and other appropriate places, I have 12.

Only 3 for sewing. Don't ask how many dog grooming shears I have, and you don't want to know what they cost either!!

The up-side is that I attend enough dog shows with shear sharpening services that I can take all my scissors and knives to dog shows for a weekend and they come back sharper :)

I don't know. We are going to go with "Not enough" can never find them when I want them.

Let's see -
1, 2, 3, 4,

yep just 4 for sewing.

We won't count the total number of scissors I have around the house of all sizes!

For sewing, I'm ashamed to say 8 :oops:

My son counted 16 pairs of scissors in my sewing room just lately and he probably didn't find them all. My excuse is that I run a lot of workshops and teach 4-H and not everybody remembers or has the right tools for the job. I've always loved to cut right from the time I was five and gave my younger sister with the almost waist length curls a very short pixie cut!
