I use a desk file holder wire one and plastic that is elevated and it will hold rulers like no other. I also have used the pampered chef stone holder that has dowel rods and it works great to. I also have a 6" block of wood to use with the rubber mallet. I also use chocolate.

Those cute little baskets at the dollar store. - 1.They are the perfect size to stand my patterns on end, so I can thumb through them. 2. They are wonderful for storing elastics, trims, appliques (patches). Helps keep me organized.

I have a 4 1/2 suction cup and a small suction cup that I use to hold down my rulers I use a carpet cutter with a rotary cutter blade to cut strips of fabric for the accuquilt Go. T-Square, ruler with zero center and 1, etc on each side to find a quick middle of a small piece of fabric. An angle mark ruler for quick 60 Degrees. Magnetic pick up wand for pins. A makeup travel case for keep scissors, etc together.
