Good lighting!

I can't quilt without good light and dual (upper and lower) feed dogs. :p

Can't sew without any of my machines....glasses......aqqucuilt go system.....free time.....clearer idea on pattern.....TV noise.....motivation!

I can't sew without:

1. my Bernina
2. my iron
3. my fabric
4. music

Peace

There is altogether too much ruckus in my life. And I discovered a long time ago that if I sew or bake I get peace and very quiet footsteps tiptoeing by to find out what's in progress and if there is anything for the tiptoe-er.

The latest ruckus is a broken up ankle and foot thanks to an uneven entrance to a quilt shop (any other kind?) in St. A. What a mess - orthopedics guy first thing Monday am and painkillers now. BUT I am being waited on hand and foot (sorry!) AND my grandmothers Singer Slant-O-Matic 403 Special has a knee controller. YESSSSS! All is not lost!

Clumsy

I like to have all my sewing tools that I need and my I. D. channel on t.v, then I am good to go!!!!!

1. I need needle, thread and fabric.

I can't sew/quilt without my kitties, my imagination, and the Quilting Board.

I can't sew without time alone and worship music
and all the necessities that keep growing!

My Ott lights!

Just what I was going to say! I think my DH waits until I sit down at my machine before he does anything that he needs help with!
Also, I cant quilt/sew without my seam ripper.......my BFF:o

a good show on tv

I have to second this!!!

I cannot quilt or sew without fabric, thread, needle and some kind of cutting implement. Everything lease is added bonus :-)

I can't quilt/sew without my shoes.

Motivation which is missing in my life right now.

A good bright light and my fur baby.

I can't quilt without

1. Chocolate by my side, when I'm taking short breaks.
2. My water or other cold drink
3. Background noise, I have my TV on and although I mainly listen, I can't seem to do anything in absolute quiet.
4. My furry friend TJ the cat, who needs to be curled up on the bed to keep me company (my sewing area is in my bedroom).
5. My rotary cutter and various size rulers.

All the above suggestions plus .......my 1/4" sewing machine foot.

I can't quilt/sew without:
1.good lighting
2. 1917 White Rotary treadle
3. rotary cutter
4. Omnigrid rulers
5. good quality fabrics
6. Aurifil cotton thread
7.clover seam ripper

quiet. I am a solitary quilter and noise distracts me.

and phone so I don't have to run around to find it
thinking about what project is next & how much longer on the present project

My headphones/music. Music on speakers is just not the same. And I will admit, if you don't tell anyone, that when no one else is home, I belt it out at the top of my lungs. When I hear songs now, it always takes me back to which quilt I was working on when I was into that song.

The other thing is my utility apron. I keep my scissors, the small ends of the red snappers, my ipod and a few other odds and ends in the pockets. Each item has its own designated pocket so I know right where to reach for it. My sister in law gave it to me for Christmas one year, from etsy, and I've loved it ever since. It clashes with the color scheme in my sewing room, though, so I've been considering making one just for sewing-- especially since I also use it to clean the house. I think it would be nice to have one for each task.

Lots of light
Quiet
Diet Pepsi or water with lemon
