I purchased a travel case for my "notions" a few years ago. It is called an Omnigrid (registered trademark). This case has both hand and shoulder carrying options. It is about 14" square and 3" deep. Zips. When open, the top portion has elastic holders for threads, scissors, cutters, pens, etc; plastic holders in a variety of sizes for other necessities. It is very versatile and can be purposed for what you need. The bottom portion has a mesh insert which measures 13 X 14" and handles my "quilt blocks" in various stages of development.
There is enough room (depth) for a plastic case of other notions, reading glasses, quilting pin container, large spool of thread, 12" ruler & other templates, etc., etc.
Usually, I carry it to classes over my shoulder, but when needing to travel with a machine and material I refer to my self as a pack horse with a roller luggage carrier.
I have not seen this at any of the quilt shops nor at the Maine Quilt Show, nor have I seen any quilter in classes or guild group have one.
Good Luck.
I can't remember where I bought it, but am sure it was an on line purchase.

When I used to go up to church to sew with our quilting group, I had a toolbox, a regular "bought it at the hardware store" toolbox. I still have it, but I don't generally go anywhere else to quilt but my sewing room these days.

I carry my smaller things, like pins,rotary cutter,seam ripper and scissors,etc.. in a tin that used to have Cadbury Lady finger cookies in it. My pin magnet is the type that has a cover on it, so no worries that they will fall out.

I repurposed a firm plastic electric razor case that my DH was discarding. It even has a zip closure. I can fit a scissors, spool of thread, needles (hand and machine), thimble, quilt pins in a small case, extra rotary blades, and my lunch money.
I've also used a school pencil case that has grommets to make it binder friendly. It's a bit lumpy but it accommodates a larger shears and my rotary cutter.
