Tools Of The Trade...


I am always looking for ideas 
for storage of textile related tools.

I rotate between many different projects
and like to have my tools in one place
to "grab and go" for each project.

  • Scissors - big and small
  • Pin cushion - with a large assortment of pins
  • Needle keeper - with all sizes of needles and threader
  • Paper and Pencil with a good eraser - for drawing sketches of new designs
  • Tape measure
  • Sharpie Markers - to transfer both rug hooking and punch needle designs
  • Current project threads and perle cotton
  • Ultra Punch needle - in a box with threaders
  • Hoop - I rarely use a hoop, However I keep a small one in the caddy for small punch needle projects.  (I keep larger hoops and frames on my wool hutch within easy reach.)
  • Rug Hook




I purchased this caddy at Wal-Mart for a mere $2.88.
Knowing what I know now, 
I wish I would have purchased several !

One for Embroidery
One for Punch Needle
One for Rug Hooking...
(but then where to store them ??)

Enjoy this beautiful day...
