My favorite tool is my rotary tool and mat. Recently, I quilted a lap size quilt that my grandmother had made. She had cut all of the pieces using scissors and card stock pattern pieces. She had hand pieced the entire thing. As I used my LA for quilting, I cried and laughed thinking of her. She was still piecing quilts when she died at the age of 93. I believe she was smiling down on me and enjoying watching me quilt. Loved her fortitude.

I have three
1. My That Patchwork Place Bias Square 8" ruler....for squaring up blocks, HSTs, Log cabin blocks, cutting squares.
2. My tiny Sticky Note Pad...as seen below for creating the perfect 1/4" seam.
3. My Clover awl...as seen below for a pusher, stabilizer, controller.

Right now, Amazon has 50 small Clover clips for under $13.00. That is a great deal! I've been using several of mine while making fabric covered rope bowls. They work great. Difficult to pick my one favorite notion.

Gosh how to pick just one? My favorite ruler is the one I need for what I'm working on- so thankful for them and my rotary cutters and Gingher mat. My awl,F & P marking pencil, surgical steel seam ripper, clover clips, small scissors, and my little light that fastens to my machine and shines right down on the needle area where I need it. Can't pick just one!

I can't survive without the leather coin thimbles by Clover...I do a lot of hand quilting but I also use them in finishing binding, closing seams and more. Does anyone use any of the under finger helpers for quilting? Can you feel the needle to know you went through all the way with any of those?
