After reading my dream list of quilting gadgets viewers to Quilting and Patchwork responded with their own.

*A self-healing cutting mat because Eileen’s is old and all gouged up.

*Noreen especially likes the dream of more storage

*Cyndi and Noreen thought one of each I mentioned would be great.

Another I’ve come across:

*We find particularly this one especially handy for cramped spaces…a folding cutting and work table, sometimes calld a hobby table.  The sides drop down so you have only about a 12-inch top.  When folded out, it’s about 60 inches long and 36 inches wide. 

We can have it open to work on for quilting and crafts.  then fold it down and tuck it away, or use as an end table in a small area.

What are your favorite gadgets…or ones on your dream list?

Quilting Gadgets – Readers Add to the List

New gadgets, or those you haven’t tried, aid in making quilting easier.  I’ve been amazed at all the items now available that weren’t when I began quilting as a business during the Bicentennial years of 1975-76.  A friend remarked today that she almost had to begin learning anew when she came back to quilting after being away from it for several years.

 As I browsed through a quilting notions and fabric catalog the other day, I came across these gadgets that could go on a “wish list” for me.

Mini Iron
Rotary blade sharpener
Needle sharpener
Neo color wax pastels
Scissors light
John Quinn’s improved Multi-frame system
Ruler and mat organizer
Rag quilting snips
More storage units
Needle felting machine – the ultimate on the dream list

What’s on your DREAM LIST?
