One tool I have purchased recently, albeit for a gift, was the 6.5 x 12.5 inch ruler by Creative Designs. I find it the PERFECT ruler for just about everything after the initial cutting is over. I use it ALL the time for paper piecing as the 1/4 inch line is clearly visible. I use it to do my sub cuts. I use it ALL THE TIME. This ruler has everything a quilter could need and is the PERFECT gift for a quilter.
Love the broken star pattern. Pat
I won an Eleanor Burns goose ruler and I would recommd it. Thanks for a chance to win Marie’s new book. I have read the Cobblestone Quilts series and loved them all.
I bought a purple thang and I’ve used it every day since helping guide fabric under the presser foot, pushing out little corners when something has to be turned inside out – loads of uses.
I got a flying geese ruler that is a large triangle with markings on each corner to ell you where to cut. I have tried to use it and have not been able to figure it out so NO I would not recommend it.
I purchased a new seam ripper..seems like I use it more than I’d like to.
I love using the Clover wonder clips when doing my bindings.
Water-erasable marking pen for hand-applique or for any kind of markings on the right-side of fabric. Test before using!
I LOVE the new Pin Pal Magnetic Pin Catcher. You wear it around the neck of your shirt by putting the large decorative part of the magnet on the front of your shirt and the other behind. As you need pins or take them out, you “wear” them and know right where they are. Best of all, they are always with you!
I bought a couple of Pat Sloan’s Sullivan Edge rulers. They help to keep the rotary cutter sharp. It fixed one of my blades. Thanks for the giveaway.
It’s a 6,5″ ruler and I haven’t tried it out jet.
I purchased the Clover Clips to use when I sew binding. They work great & it is so easy to get a quarter inch width all around.
I purchased a Clover needle-threader, but have not yet used it. Thanks for a wonderful weekly quilt show!
I just bought a stiletto and have not tried it yet. I hear it is a must have for sewing curves
I just bought the Angle Ruler for making HST’s. I think, but I’m not sure yet, that I like it better than any other method.
Would love to win this book. Thanks.
An 8 1/2″ x 24″ ruler. Works great for strip cutting fat quarters.
I’ve not really bought any tools recently, but I’d love to try a flying geese ruler.
The last notion
lil’ twister
everyone needs a tesselating ruler for fun
wordpress said I entered my comment too fast!
Here goes again
Please enter me into the giveaway for a copy of her book.
Latest notion, and everyone should have a fun tessalating gizmo, is a Lil Twister tool.
I purchased the Hunter’s Star Rapid Fire ruler. I haven’t used it yet. My mother and I are going to learn to use it together when she visits in the next few days for a couple of weeks.
Like a few others here I purchased a new seam ripper. It is a must have for every quilter/sewer but I seem to wear mine out and they go blunt!!
Recent purchase (why didn’t I do this years’ ago!!!!)
Easy Angle and Easy Angle II rulers are most wonderful for cutting 1/2 sq and 1/4 sq triangles!!!
I have the mini wonderclips. They are fantastic because the stay clamped on no matter how much I move the quilt.
Just today I bought Marti Michell’s one-patch template for the windmill block. Haven’t had time to use it but it sure looks like fun. Her directions are wonderful
I bought a little container of “Thread Heaven” at a quilt show. I was so happy to find the product.
Like others, I, too, love the little red Clover Clips. I’m a tool girl, so I’m always on the lookout for a great new tool. My latest favourite – and the most efficient one I’ve used in ages is the Rapid Fire Hunter Star ruler. It makes piecing a table runner or quilt top so efficient, easy and fun – and the results in precision work are excellent! This little ruler helps create the trapezoid pieces – and then is just dead-on in helping you square them up to the desired block size. Your project will go together so quickly – and slickly – you’ll be amazed! I love this little ruler!
I love the “Wacker” It looks sort of like a hammer, you give your thick seam 2 shots of steam with your iron and 2 wacks with the “Wacker” and your seam is flat as a pancake!!
Seam ripper! A definite must have!
My most recent quilting notion purchase was 3 different colored pencils. Very valuable to be able to use it on different colored fabrics.
I purchased the Qtools Cutting edge notion. It has helped me cut accurately and quickly.
The most important piece of equipment that I have purchased lately is a good solid sewing machine.
Bought and used Crayola washable markers to mark a quilt top for machine quilting. Not a speck of marker left after machine washing!!
I just purchased a Machine Seam Gauge from Dritz. Since I use different machines at different times it’s any easy way to check my 1/4 inch seam.
I bought the jumbo “donut” for storing my extra large bobbins in. I LOVE it…now i can see my bobbin colors and my bobbins to clink together..LOVE IT, LoVE It love it!!!
The latest hing I have bought is a 12 1/2 inch ruler. So great for squaring up 12 inch blocks and I ahve used for it many other sizes too.
My husband made me a wooden stiletto and seam ripper. I LOVE them both. Best gift he ever made next to the design board and ironing table.
I love my ‘Quilt Halo’ that I bought for quilting. It is amazing and so much easier to quilt. Highly recommend it. Cheers
I recently purchased some EPP hexagons to use as a cutting pattern. I don’t EPP, I hand piece them. My mother hand pieced and hand quilted a Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt which was stolen. It had never been on my bed. I found a few pieced blocks, some blocks which had been cut and bagged, and some fabric for another quilt. So, I hope to eventually “replace” my heirloom. One can never replace the love of a mother that went into a quilt.
Recently I recieved a seam ripper in the mail. My brother bought the hardware and turned the wood for it. He does not have any wood from the farm we were raised on. However, it came from his father-in-laws farm which was about 1/4 mi from us. So, it very special.
I bought a 10″ half hexagon ruler to get a head start on making Christmas tree table runner gifts! One down and __ to go! I’ve just begun reading this series – so delightful!
I also bought a 10″ half hexagon ruler. I plan on using it to make a House quilt inspired by Jenny of MSQC’s video tutorial.
I bought a cheetah print rotary cutter. My whole sewing room is done in cheetah accents – makes me smile!
I just bought a package of new blades for my rotary cutter. It may seem like a common purchase BUT it is so important to have a sharp blade and blades need to be changed frequently. A sharp blade makes a world of difference.
The last notion I bought was Jean Wright’s Log Cabin Trim Tool. It is so great. You use it to make log cabin blocks out of strips you may have in your scrap pile – and you don’t have to cut them – just be over 1 1/2″ wide. So fast – love it! Thanks for the chance!
I highly recommend the Wonder Clips by Clover. I like them so much I have been giving them as gifts to my other family members who quilt.
Just purchased Fons and Porter’s mechanical fabric pencil but haven’t t tried it yet.
an OTT light every quilter should have a few !!!
The most recent tool I bought was a lighted seam ripper. I liked the light but the seam ripper itself is dull so it’s not useful at all. I need to complain to the co that made it, but haven’t yet.
Accuquilt cutter – it’s to DIE for!!
Blades for my rotary cutter…
I just bought a magnetized scissor nanny so I can do applique in the car and not drop my scissors between the seats. Yes, I get really frustrated when that happens :*D
