This week’s SBQ was suggested by Terri and is:
What items do you consider essential to your needlework that you keep in your stitching bag?
Hmm… Let’s do a quick review of what I keep in my DMC Travel Bag first, shall we?
- 1 Stitchbow Binder (I don’t normally use stitchbows, but since one free binder came with the bag I bought some stitchbows to keep extra skeins of 310, blanc, ecru, and 3371 at my fingertips.)
- 1 sheet of paper listing my current rotation
- 2 embroidery hoops (1-4″, 1-5″)
- 1 pair embroidery scissors (with scissor fob)
- 1 mechanical pencil with eraser
- ½ card Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid in gold (From a finished project, for some reason I haven’t ever returned the card to my stash)
- 3 needles (1 Size 28 Piecemaker, 1 Size 26 Piecemaker, and 1 Size 24 Piecemaker)
- From time to time there is an actual project in the bag as well.
Since I recently cleaned out my stitching bag and put the non-essential items back where they belong, I would have to say that with the exception of the Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid I currently consider all of the items in my bag essential to my needlework.
