Hi Sue. I’m Nanette. Sandi sent me your way. I grew up with ginghers being almost scared in my home. My mom’s well cared for scissors were off limits unless I was sewing. I have great respect for them. One of my favorite tools? Hmm Probably my 2 1/2″ plastic template. I use that size more than anything else. I like using that size square in many of my quilts. I’d also say my reading glasses are a favorite (what would I do without them??) and last but not least my seam ripper. I have a love hate relationship with those things but I’m always glad I took the time to pick the stitches out when I make a boo boo.

Thanks!

Congratulations!!!!!!! I would say my one favorite tool would have to be my Quilt In A Day Flying Geese rulers. I have made the geese the other way at times but think they look better when using this method.
Love the ugly fabric and how your quilt turned out that you made using it. Peggy in SW Missouri

For me to pick only one tool would be very tough…..but I’d have to pick my longarm as my most favorite…..bringing the quilt tops to life is such a rewarding experience for me. Congratulations on your 20000 hit to your websight, I enjoy coming here is see what you are up to.

I love all my little gizmos and gadgets, but the transforming one for me was that rotary cutter! That changed my quilting life so much. No more templates and laboriously cutting out each piece…unless I feel like it!! I also love my companion angle ruler. And of course the computer to connect to everyone like-minded!!

Congratulations on your 20K + visitors! Way to go girl, quite a feat. My favorite tool is my computer. If I have a question or need suggestions on a pattern it is always close and someone can give me the info I need. But nothing compares to My 4H leaders, My mom and grandmother. Experience is the best tool. Susan

Yeah! I love that packing material(fabric)! Too cute that it goes so nicely with the scissors! lol
My favorite tool for quilting… the internet! I have no local friends that quilt. Central Vermont doesn’t have that many options that are feasible for me. So… I get inspiration for keeping with it from bloggers like you and websites such as Quiltville and Stashbusters.. and I get free quilt block patterns from various sites. Without the internet I would probably have given up long ago!
Thank you for hosting the giveaway! Congratulations on your 20K+ visitors!!

hiyall,
wow! gorgous fabric and adorable scissors! My favorite gadget is a little rooster timer. I have a picture of it on my blog. I call the timer ‘chicky baby’. chicky baby is my time manager. he goes up to 60 mins. I start the timer whenever I have a short time to quilt. I do something quilty everyday. sometimes its only 10 mins, sometimes it a couple of hours. chicky baby also reminds me to stand up after so long at the machine so my legs wont cramp up. CB is a cheap chick, cost only $1 at the local joann fabrics store. They have sold out but Im hoping they get more in, I have several friends who want one.
Keep On Stitch’n On!

Hi Sue,
I really like the new look to your website!!! And you giveaway idea is great fun–what a cool way to hear from quilters all over. I have a lot of favorite tools, so it was difficult to settle on one… so I chose my leather thimble. It is the most worn of all, but am unable to part with it and still pull it out to quilt with occasionally. It’s the one that won me a blue ribbon at the county and state fair!!! Thanks for posting the Daystitchers blocks–I like to share that info with distant family and friends. Take care. Joan

Hi,
I love the scissors and material. Please enter me in your draw. What has become my favorite sewing tool is my computer. I love reading all the blogs and get so many ideas, patterns and tips. If I win I’m sure those scissors will be a favorite too.~Susan
