A little Mary Engelbreit in the morning is always a good way to start the day, in my opinion. She also bought me a desk needle threader. Yes, it is getting harder for me to thread my needles. I blame it on poor lighting in my living and work rooms.&nbsp; I am constantly breaking the wire hand held ones, so this will come in handy. The ruler allows the quiltmaker to make wonky 9 patches. Julie and I have started to cut patches for each other. She cut <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/eye-spy-tumbler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eye Spy<\/a> patches for me. I cut Eye Spy patches for her.

Who doesn&#8217;t need Timtex? I want to try making a journal using Timtex instead of a manilla folder.
