Quilting tools, sort of. . .

I was thinking about some of my quilting 'tools'. Well, to help keep my tools together at least.
I have a nice fishing tackle box that I use for thread, tape measure, pins, rotary cutter, pencil, etc. My DH, who loves to fish thought maybe I was going to take up fishing with him when I picked it out. Sorry dear!
I have a model car box (like for storing Hot Wheels) that houses my embroidery machine thread collection
A hook on the wall is handy for the hoop I use when hand quilting and I have a Liquid Tide Detergent lid with a lid on it that holds a spool of thread, needles, extra pins and folding scissors to take along when I am working on a hand quiltihng project.
I recently purchased a new cutting mat, and in the tradition of quilters, passed along the old one, an assortment of 'extras' and some fabric that I owned to my DD3 for her adventures in quilting.
In that same tradition, a friend of mine was gifted with a sewing machine and passed one of hers on to this same DD. Now she is set up to begin work on her own!
Quilters are special people, willing to share and pass along their expertise, knowledge, equipment, and friendship.
