That s...OOh a woman that thinks just like me I see. That sliding pencil case is awesome! I bought two of them last year and really need to buy more this year. I found those are great for so many things. Just like you said, perfect for the rotary cutters. When I took a beginning quilt piecing class last Fall I was able to put my 60mm Olfa rotary cutter in there as well as extra bobbins for my machine, quilt clips, a small ruler, my marking pencils and a few other things. It's perfect. I've been debating storing my bobbins in one of those since they are so easy to store and could fit many bobbins inside plus it slides open so you can pull it out to see them all at once.<br /><br />Office supply stores are a huge weakness for me. I'm like a guy in a hardware store in those places. I'll buy thing from the office supply store just because I want to even when I have the same things already at home. They have such fun colors now.

Y...What great finds in the back to school aisle. <br /><br />Your last post gave me an idea with your granddaughters shorts. I came up with the idea of teaching young girls how to sew using American Girl clothing as an incentive. The quilt guild I belong to loved the idea and we have set a program to start in the fall at our local YMCA - so I think a nice one class project would be to make shorts for the doll [to practice on] then a pair for them.<br /><br />All the best,<br />katie<br />www.westiejulep.blogspot.comKatie, Julep and Derby's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13930507314586230323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309493769526175391.post-51761726217440037522012-07-20T20:38:07.897-05:002012-07-20T20:38:07.897-05:00What great ideas Linda.

Your new supplies are wonderful and that slap ruler is a must. You are very clever to look at everything with other-than-intended uses. My Grandmother taught me to do just that...she referred to it as "see it with different eyes". Thank you for visiting and commenting.
