For my GFG, I use a plastic school pencil box for threads, scissors, binder clip and other small tools, two plastic shoe boxes, one for 2 1/2 squares, hexie papers, and basting thread and the other for hexies basted but not sewn together yet. The pencil box fits in the shoe box and either is ready to go at any time. Even if it's just to the recliner in front of the TV.
