Seem a strange title?? Think about it. We all have some piece of equipment that we use constantly and couldn't possibly work without.

Or perhaps there is something that you've seen and then longed to own.

Share with us - what is it that you love??

Ok don't laugh at me by I do have a quilting maching and have to use a lot of pins. You can go to the fabic store and buy one of those little pin holders. My husband come home with this cup like thing. I laughed and said what am I going to do with that. He bought it at the harbor fright store (tool store). It is used for bolts and screws. He told me it was for all my pins. OMG it works great and if it falls on the ground all the pins stay in. It is a magnet bowl. It is the neatest thing ever. I went back and bought 4 more and gave them to people that I knew that quilted.

Oh yes - magnetic pin holders! I can't do without mine either! Otherwise I'd have even more needles and pins stuck into the arm of the sofa.....

my favorite FREE embroidery tool is those magnetic "business cards" that come in the mail.

Instead of turning my fridge into a billboard, I cover the ad side with cute Contact paper and have the magnetic side for a pin holder...I have made these for all my needleworking/sewing friends and family....

What an excellent idea! I love it!
