I use a large empty wooden match box to store safety pins. I cut a slit in the top to deposit the pins like coins as I remove them while quilting. If I knock the box off of my sewing table, they don't spill everywhere. When I'm ready to pin something, it opens like a drawer.

Ok - I'm not understanding this hint -
"I use Dr. Scholls foot pads as a fabric guide,(thicker than the Q-Tools"
Could someone explain how, when, where you use it??? (i know, I know, it's probably something obvious but my brain isn't working today...)

Oh - how about colouring books for applique patterns?
I try to find the ones for younger kids (less lines & simpler) unless I am looking for something specific.
Also, stencils used for craft painting are good...
