Dealing with Tools and Rulers



Welcome to the sixth and Final week of the Creative Spaces Blog Hop!  
Today is all about dealing with tools and rulers.

I am THE WORST when it comes to organizing my tools and rulers.  I literally throw all of my tools and needles into the drawers of my Olivia Sewing Cabinet.  Don't believe me?



























I even store my rulers between one thread cabinet and my sewing cabinet.  I used to hang them on the way using nails, but since I started Twitch streaming there isn't much wall space.  I have a few panel quilts hanging behind me instead.














The one that I do have organized is my travel case!  I have every foot and tool I may need when on the road.  I use it every day, even when I am in my home studio.  It is a simple acrylic case normally used for Cross Stitch or Beading.



How do you organize your rulers and tools?  Let me know!

Want to come hang out while I stream?  My schedule is always on my Facebook and my Twitter.  I also announce on Instagram when I go live.  We have a lot of fun, talk about sewing and quilting and of course have daily giveaways.  I am the giveaway queen after all.

Speaking of giveaways, let’s get to them!

First, the overall prizes. Crafters Edge is giving away their Crossover II Fabric and Cutting system plus several die packs. Daylight is giving away a Slimline LED table lamp. Basal is also donating some prizes. To enter, make sure you visit www.cherryblossomsquilting.com/blog.
