Accessories old and new

i love all my stitching tools. Many I have been gifted, many I have purchased. I must admit I love them all but these are some I use all the time to keep my WIP rotation organized.
On my stitching floor frame I keep this cute pincushion gifted by a fellow stitcher. I use this to park my needle in, to keep pins that I use to get knots out of my thread. Love the fabric and design. Next up are my stitching tins. The smallest was a gift and the other two are garage/consignment store finds.
The smallest one holds my small pieces that I use frequently on my day to day stitching.



Needle threader, beading needle, thread end catcher, beading thread, butler brush, decorative thimble, Shepherd’s Bush painted magnet I got on a trip out to Utah. Next up is the medium one which goes in my travel stitching that holds some larger items.


This has scissors, emery, thread, needles, straight pins on a teapot magnet, needle threader and card for floss bits. Next is the holiday tin which holds my ornaments to be stitched. Silent night by LHN is in the hoop. There is a magnet on lid, an old jar (think this was an old Avon jar that a scented cream came in of my Mom’s.)




My favorite pair of scissors when I am not stitching at home.





My newest and most lovely accessory is my new stitching bag. All of my other bags are enormous and I seriously wanted something smaller to carry to my stitching group to force me just to carry no more than 2 projects at a time so I didn’t just go from one to the other with no finishes or lost parts or pieces which has been a terrible struggle for me this year. Trying really hard to get it all under control!



I have a roll-up for my bigger  hoop project (Mary Wigham right now) so I don’t get hoop marks. This is something that I ordered from Attic Needlework. I don’t carry this project because I need good lighting to work on it so this is not a travel accessories. This picture shows the actual colors of my trave bag better than the previous picture does.


I also use a Daylight clip on magnifier and hoops and qsnaps, scroll rods, project bags- so many essentials but these are my favorites I thought I would share with you today. I hope you find lots of stitchy time in your day today. Marjo
