Love the pink panda fabric, my fav tool is the thimble, I have sensitive fingers.
My most favorite “tool” are my sticky gloves. They help move the fabric along to feed under the needle. I also could not live without my seam allowance guide so I guess that’s really two for me :)
I haven’t looked for Pink Panda, but I’ll look for them online. thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway. My favorite tools are a good fitting thimble, and my really sharp small scissors.

My seam ripper….grin. Love the fabrics
i love your fabrics you are presenting this week. Besides the quilting mat and the rotary cutter and, my fav tools are the seam ripper (heaven knows i use it quite a bit) and the sewing machine seam gauge (helps me keep my seams correct while sewing). Thank you for sharing your website with us!
Great fabrics!
My favorite tool is the quarter inch foot for my sewing machine.
Without it my squares would end up different sizes. LOL!
There are so many tools that are my favorites, but if I had to choose just one it would be the leather thimble. I could never get the plastic or metal thimbles to stay on my fingers and the leather one I have stays on just fine. Thanks for the contest. Those fabrics are fabulous!

Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. Love the fabric, won’t hurt my feelings at all if I find it in my mailbox one day. LOL!
Pat Lancaster
The pictures are awesome, too! Thanks for giving us a few glimpses of your beautiful country!

Forgot to say that I really love my Creative Grids rulers. Without them, the rotary cutter wouldn’t be as helpful. I love the way the CG rulers stick to the fabric and make my cuts look good.
Pat Lancaster
I guess my favorite tool would be my quilting friends, we meet once a week, and laugh and cry and share, I have learned so much from all of them. I think sharing your passion is the greatest gift!
Ruth Oblinski’s latest post: Post
My favorite tool is my ruler and then it is a toss up between the iron and the sewing machine. Happy Thanksgiving.
The fabrics are awesome…I would have to say the needle threader..lol and the seam ripper then it would have to be my thimble. Thanks for having the give=a=way and Happy thanksgiving
I have to say that my favorite tool has to be my new Gammill long arm. It was a gift to me from my husband. Everytime I work on it I think of him. He surprised me with that for my birthday. I was so surprised when I received a birthday card in the mail from the company congratulating me on joining the Gammill family. I looked at the card and then at my husband – he signed to me “What?” and I signed back “Someone made a mistake”. He grinned and signed “Happy Birthday – We are both deaf and hope to build a business for our retirement years. But, I have to tell you – that surprise was that best surprise I think I’ve ever had!
The fabrics are very colorful and fun. My birthday is on Oct.8. Occasionally when I was growing up on my birthday the calendar would show “Thanksgiving Day in Canada”. My dad would always say, “They are thankful you weren’t born in Canada!”
My newest favorite tool is the Easy Dresden by Darlene Zimmerman-Makes awesome Dresden pieces.
My favourite tool is my kaleidoscope ruler. I love triangles!
Those fabrics are great.

My favorite ‘other’ tool……. is my 15″ square ruler.
Couldn’t live withour it and all its markings for a very accurate block.

My favorite quilting tool? I love my acrylic templates & rulers — all different sizes and shapes; they make life so much easier! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! :)
Denise :)’s latest post: God is so good!
I am thankful that my kitty – Cynthia – is going to be ok – after a late night vet visit and pills for the next 13 days, she will be just fine. I am also thankful that I get to spend thanksgiving with my family on Sunday eating a big dinner.
I favourite tool is my sharp scissors given to me by my mom :)
My other favorite tools besides my rotor cutter is my sewing machine that self threads and my accut studio cutter. My fingers don’t like to cut triangles and I can cut them perfect with my cutter. Great fabric. Have fingers crossed.
seam ripper!!
Alex’s latest post: I am so behind…
I’m most thankful for my sewing machine! :) Happy Thanksgiving!
I think my favorite tool is my computer with the internet. I have seen so many fabrics and patterns I want to make. I have no quilt stores near me, so I rely on the internet…
Happy Thanksgiving!
My fav tool is the Fons and Porter flying geese ruler. Makes perfect flying geese.
Linda Smith’s latest post: October 3, 2009
Beautiful fabrics! There are a few tools that I just couldn’t sew without but I guess my studio is my favorite. It is small but has everything right where I need it. No need to set things up and put them away when I’m done.
robin(rsislandcrafts)’s latest post: Day 10
Well one would definitely be my sewing machine. I have carpal tunnel and can only hand sew for short periods of time. Without the machine, I’d never finish anything. Secondly I love my laptop. I store tons of patterns and hints on it, have design software on it, can shop online with it, and can find just about anything I need or an answer to just about any quilting question on the net through it. I also use it to chat with my quilting friends who would be my other favorite tool as they can answer any question I can’t find an answer to on my own, give me recommendations on tools and material and are a never ending source of inspiration!
melissa’s latest post: Saturday Small Talk
A couple of weeks ago I bought the strip tube ruler-my new best friend-I stayed away from 1/2 square triangles-not NOW
Seam ripper? Sad, but true. Also, super sharp scissors.
grace’s latest post: Blog Fun
definitely my 1/4′ ruler, marvelous little invention, and saves so much time… and grief!
Shiree’s latest post: Boo Hoo
So many that it is hard to choose. Seam ripper for sure and all the different rulers that make life so easy.
I am most thankful for my pieces of non-stick webbing (the type you’d stick under a pet’s food bowl) which I use when I’m quilting. I don’t like the feel of full gloves but still need something for my fingers to stick to.
Happy Thanksgiving Michele ….. we’re eating on Monday and I’m not doing the cooking :-)
Gail
Doodlebug Gail’s latest post: Rooster Quilt ….. making good progress!
My thread stand so I can use bigger spools of thread and save money while quilting!
Mandy’s latest post: WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!
HHHMMMMMMMM My favorite tool, has to be my rulers without them I’d always be wonky. lol Love the fabrics.
Lovely fabric. I would have to say my quick un pick would have to be the most useful thing in my sewing room. Of course I wouldn’t be able to do anything without my collection of thread. Happy sewing.
My favorite tool . . . my computer! I don’t think I’d even be quilting if it weren’t for all the blogs that share so much inspiration, not to mention online shopping for fabric, virtual quilting bees, etc.!
Anne’s latest post: Giveaway #3 – Amusez-vous!
my 1/4 inch foot. Can’t piece without that baby.
betsy’s latest post: Crayon roll
Love the fabrics, and just got home from visiting extended family for thanksgiving dessert. There;s nothing like arriving to a party with all the adults eating and two sweet babies grinning on the floor (no waiting for my turn to hold one!)
My favourite quilting tool is my _bigger_ cutting mat (I just upgraded to 24″x36″ and I love it) … but that probably doesn’t count, so I’ll say my 6″x12″ruler.
Also, for sewing in general my new favourite is the round rubber bobbin holder (Bobbin Saver) that keeps things from rolling everywhere when I drop them.
Lovely fabric!
The seam ripper must be my favorite. Not that I like it when I have to use it but it’s very good to have.
Lotta in Sweden
My favourite tool is my 12.5 inch ruler. Most quilting bee lock are this size, so it helps with making sure my blocks are squared up.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures of your country. I would love to visit Canada again soon.
As for my favorite tool, that’s just not an easy question to answer. I’m pretty much in love with all the cloth, rulers, and thread that I play with in my sewing room. If I have to pick one, it would have to be my rulers. Having truly straight lines is important.
my favorite would be my 1/4″ foot and my softgrip scissors.
The fabric is absolute gorgeous.
I wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving.

inge’s latest post: affo
My most favourite tool that I am eternally “thankful” for is definately my sewing machine. I love (need) to sew every day. Though I do need my rulers to help me use my rotary cutter on my mat.
Thanks for a chance to win some beautiful Katie Jump Rope fabric.
Happy Thanksgiving to you.
My favourite tool is the ruler that helps me cut my fabric. I should say rulers as I use different size rulers for different things. I cannot cut a straight line so rulers and rotary cutters are a necessity!!!
Anne D’s latest post: Quilt Festival
Awesome fabrics. My favorite tools are my rulers. I couldn’t live with them. Happy Thanksgiving!!
My third favorite is ruler,but I’d love to try this shape cutter ruler – it looks so good and interesting
I love these fabrics! I would have to say my favorite tool besides my mat and rotary cutter is my RULER. I know everyone probably said that but without my ruler I would go back to the days when I could not make a straight quilt, no matching corners. It was awful. After that I would have to say my blue magic marker that erases when it gets wet.
Love the pics too! Thanks for sharing them.
Stephanie’s latest post: Lindsay’s Horse Quilt
I can’t live without my seam ripper, but my favorite new tool is my beeswax for keeping my thread untangled when I hand applique. It is a dream come true.
I have two favs, one is sharp scissors and two is my collection of rulers. couldn’t function without either!!
My favorite quilting tool is my cutting table. I love having a nice, big space for using the mat, cutter, and rulers. And it’s just the right height, too!
Hands down! It’s got to be gridded template plastic!! I make a set for each quilt I do and then preserve them in a clear sleeve in a three ring binder!
Happy Thanksgiving all.
Hugs
Janet
Such terrific photo’s, thanks for sharing those with us, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Hmm favorite tool, would have to be quilt basting spray. It makes sandwiching a quilt so much easier and faster.
Happy Thanksgiving!
My favourite tool would be the Kwik Klip. After having sore fingers from securing all those safety pins when I discovered the Kwik Klip, I jumped for joy!
I LOVE Katie’s Jump Rope and just used the last of it…so sad…
I love my sewing machine. It’s my favorite helper. I can sew, quilt, hem, bind….and it helps me without complaining.
Nancy’s latest post: More Dead Things…..
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m thankful for my kitchen renovation, which will be completed in a few more weeks
What beautiful pictures of Cananda.
I would love to be in the draw for the fabulous fabric thank you.
My favourite tool is the unpicker or ripper. I seem to do a far bit of reverse sewing.
This is going to sound funny but my favorite tool is my iron lol. I have two Rowenta irons. I use the full sized iron for larger projects and the travel iron for smaller projects. It’s just the right size!
Rhonda Cooley’s latest post: Alien Coloring Bag
I’m most thankful for precut English Paper Piecing templates. I know I would not have been able to do as many EPP patterns if I had to make the templates as well.
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians! And I love Pink Panda Fabrics, shopped with them a few times, and love the fabrics they carry.
My favourite tool is a sharp pair of scissors, can’t live without it…
Happy thanksgiving!
My most favourite tool is an add a quarter inch ruler. Can’t do without the tool anymore!
And the runner up is definitely my Janome MC 6600, a fabulous sewing-machine!
i love love love my 6×24 inch grid ruler. i love the nice clear markings and how easy it makes for me to cut perfect squares. [i make things with loads and loads of squares from 6" down to 3", so this is the perfect tool for me!]
thanks for the chance!!

Colleen ’s latest post: A Surprise in the mail Today
The best tool has to be the modern plastic PVC quilt frames. With the snap on sides to make it way easy. those are awesome.
Andrea_R’s latest post: Fall fell on us
I love your pictures, they remind me of how special Canada is. We drove through Canada about 10 years ago, and I still remember its natural beauty.
I see a lot of people like their acrylic rulers. Well, I like mine too. My all-time favorite is the Easy Angle. It makes cutting those half-square triangles a cinch. And I have one more that I discovered recently: Marsha McCloskey’s Precision Trimmer. It lets you square up those blocks 1-2-3!
Susan’s latest post:
My favourite tool is my super hot (and auto shutoff, for when I forget!) iron! And of course my ruler too.

Lovely fabrics, thanks for the generous giveaway!
Cheryl’s latest post: My Friendship Bag has Arrived!!
I love my Add-A-Quarter ruler. I do a lot of hand piecing, so it is great for adding the seam allowance around a template and I also use it to trim seams when I paper piece.
Happy Thanksgiving…I love my Clover seam ripper…use it too much!!!
Jean Kritenbrink’s latest post: Pocket Quilt…Blogger’s Quilt Festival

I’m thankful for the 1/4 inch foot I bought a few months back. I don’t know how I lived all the years without it! Well, yeah, I guess I lived with inconsistent seams. lol
Those are beautiful photos! I hope to one day visit Canada and see it for myself.
Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends!

Valerie aka Ausrose’s latest post: Birthday week!!!!
Oh Gosh, Besides the above mentioned, which is my favourite??? I have so many! :) But to pick one that I am so thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend, it would be the quarter inch foot attachment to my sewing machine… Not sure how I lived without it!!! happy Thanksgiving!

Ooooh a give away – love the fabric !
My favourite tool would be a new (sharp) seam ripper…. closely followed by my hubby’s metal ruler ….

My 1/4 ” foot for sure…as well as my fabulous machine that takes 3 stitches in the same place before starting!
Lately my favorite quilting “tool” is my new longarm!
My favorite ‘tool’ is the internet for all the patterns and the inspring community that can be found there!

Veronica’s latest post: Mecanismo de la máquina de coser
The 1/4 sewing foot is my favorite tool.
Thank You
And the fabrics are wonderful.
Happy quilting.
Lovely beautiful fabrics!
My favorite tool for quilting besides the sewing machine and rotary cutter are the rulers and mats… makes my life easier!
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Quilting!
The fabric is cute. My favorite tool, well maybe not favorite, but most used is the seam ripper because I mess up a lot. :)
I’m most thankful is the ever sturdy thimble! I can’t quilt without it.
I love my iron–couldn’t live without it!
My favorite tool for quilting would be the 1/4″ foot as I didn’t have one when I first started quilting and my blocks didn’t not line up at all … 7 years later, it is still a UFO.
Love the fabrics, and I am going to check out the website right away, and Happy Thanksgiving!!
My favorite tool would have to be my sewing machine!
I have a few favorites. My quarter inch foot because without that I didn’t have very good seams. My sewing machine because each time I use it, it reminds me of my grandma. And last of all my sewing cabinet because my husband made it for me!
My fave tool is my cutting mat!!! Thanks for the chance to win!! Love the site!!

Love the fabric, especially the stripe! So new!!! My favorite quilting tool is the 1/4 inch pressor foot! I will not sew on a quilt without it!
Thanks for a great web site!
missd
I’d have to say my sewing machine, hee hee. That’s a pretty big tool. I’d have to say my favorite tool sized tool would be my new yo-yo makers! so much easier to use that trying to guess the size of the circle I want to make!
Emily H.’s latest post: Water Your Wishes
My favorite quilting tool is my husband! He also quilts but he’s the one who helps me with the pressing of those annoyingly long strips and crawls around on the floor pinning the quilt sandwich together for me. He’s also willing to sit on the other side of my table and help guide the fabric so that it doesn’t escape from under the needle when it’s so heavy. He’ll also let me raid his fabric stash! I just love him to pieces.
Love these fabrics – I will be forwarding the website information to all our guild members. My most favourite other quilting tool is my iron. You don’t realize how much you use it until it dies on you.
Happy Thanksgiving! As a newbie quilter I don’t have very many tools or gadgets. However, I recently bought an “Add a Quarter” ruler to help with paper piecing and I quite like it. I would love to add those beautiful fabrics to my minimal but growing slowly stash!
The fabrics are lovely and so are the photos. Thanks.
It is hard to pick one favorite tool. My sewing machine as I wouldn’t quilt much if I had to piece by hand.
Have mile long list of things to be thankful for …
My next favorite tool – newly discovered – keeps my fingers safe, guides the seams and flips the seam allowances when they aren’t behaving.
Linda’s latest post: Binding quilts
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. I’m always up for seeing the lay-of-the-land, it’s my favorite thing to do when traveling. Love the back roads.
As for the “Funky” fabric, I say funky is great. I have learned one thing over the past two years and it’s that “stretching” ones taste in fabric is a very good thing. I am having so much fun doing just that, and Pink Panda fabrics look like they would be a terrific addition to my stash.
I’m most thankful for a good iron. I JUST lost my Rowenta iron and I’m lost without it. :{ I need to get another ASAP. Secondly, I’m thankful for a good small scissors by my sewing machine and large scissors by my ironing board.
I’m having a blast looking around your site. Thanks for this chance to win.
My favorite tool is my rotary cutter as I use it for anything that needs straight cuts.
Darlee Byron’s latest post: Candy For Me?
My favorite quilting tools are my Bias Square rulers (I have both the 6″ and the 12″) and my Janome 6600 Sewing Machine. And of course all my scissors and incredible thread and ….. LOL. I love all the wonderful equipment and tools that we modern quilters have available to us.
Your site is wonderful. I’m now involved in several of the swaps and I love it.
Sunny
great give-away and pics
my favourite tools are the different acrylic templates, applique glue and a thumb thimble for all direction quilting
My favourite would be my very simple 4 inch square. I have only had it for a year or so, but have it constantly on hand for cutting small pieces easily.
Like Margaret, I like my iron. You get better results with “pressing” , not finger pressing. Love the pink panda fabrics and they are from Canadian company too!
besides the items you mention I am most thankful for my 3 roller quilting frame and my hand held thimble that looks like a paddle.

I have a draw for my favourite quilting tools…! First, my bent safety pins – love them sooo much! Second, my pigma micron pens for labelling the quilt!
I know I’m too late for the drawing, but I wanted to put in my fave tool to work with. The Lickity Grip. When I’m handling tons of little fabric pieces just a bit on my fingers goes a long way to help keep my fingers moist but not sticky. Fab Stuff.
I love square rulers for squaring up my blocks. It is SO much easier to square up a block this way than using my regular ruler and the grid on the cutting mat. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
I love the fabric, it’s gorgeous… I guess I’d have to say I’m most thankful for the big acrylic rulers, have used them for cutting fleece for years and now am learning the joys of lining up and cutting accurately with my quilting fabrics. I definitely appreciate them.
What beautiful pictures and the fabric is gorgeous too. My favourite quilting tool is my sewing machine. Are those of us overseas eligible for the draw?
Maggi’s latest post: In between the studies
I don’t think I can live without any of my tools! I think my favorite would be my 1/4 inch foot but if that’s not considered a tool then it would be my rulers. I enjoyed reading everyones comments and plan to check out some of the tools other quilters mentioned!
Deborah’s latest post: My Pride and Joy
Love Pink Panda fabrics, my favourite online fabric store.
Hope I can just squeeze my entry in here before you close the competition. My fave tool is my walking foot, but I think if I had a 1/4inch foot that might become my new fave!
