Quilting & Patchwork Wants to Know…Do You Carry Quilting Supplies in Your Purse?
Deborah Ng at The List Mavin, had a fun idea the other day, What’s in Our Purses? She asked various bloggers to send her photos of what they carried in their purses. Others left comments.
I began wondering…do quilters carry quilting supplies in their purses…or tote bags?
Since I carry a black leather fanny pack all the time…not stylish, but very useful since I do a lot of flying (not flapping wings, but on planes), I don’t have much space for quilting supplies. It’s a waste of time to change everything over to a traditional purse between trips, and I can sling this over my shoulder when it’s not around my waist.
However, my hubby says I carry more in those three zipper compartments than anyone he knows…date book, lip balm, lipstick, loose change, business cards…mine and those I collect, checkbook, credit card/license/medical card holder, grandchildren’s photos (of course!), cell phone, notepad for jotting down writing and quilting ideas and “to do” memos, 2 pens (one might not work), paper clips, vitamins, and receipts.
Also, I might squeeze in a sample of fabric I want to match…or a couple of those pieces from my mom’s Wedding Quilt I’m trying to find fabric for. Of course, some of the business cards I collect are from quilters/fabric artists/quilt shops.
I do have a denim patchwork tote my daughter made me. So when I want to take some quilting work with me, a quilting magazine or Elm Creek Quilters novel, that seems the appropriate one sling over my shoulder along. I also can squeeze in a water bottle, food bar, pens and note pad.
