We designed four quilts for our new collection, Le Bouquet Francais. Each quilt was lovingly hand-sewn and quilted by our talented group of quilting ladies....I am always amazed when these quilts arrive and every one is more beautiful than the next...I hope you enjoy them!
Order any of our quilting patterns HERE
We also started a collaboration with a wonderful haberdashery and fabric store in Melbourne, Australia, called L'Uccello. L'Uccello has designed a wonderful set of sewing accessories using our fabric collection. Inside each pattern is a full size pattern that you can use to make up these lovely beauties.
I was introduced to L'Uccello by a mother-daughter team who come to France with us each summer...they own a lovely quilting shop (also in Australia!) called Hettie's Patch. I love it when the perfect opportunity happens and everyone comes together at just the right moment...that's what happened with L'Uccello....and we are looking forward to their upcoming Petite Patterns in the future!
Order our Petite Pattern with L'Uccello HERE
We also designed a special quilt kit that is only available through French General and only if you act fast...

1 – 200 of 522 Newer› Newest»How about the mechanical chalk pencil?
My favorite gadget right now has to be my Karen Kay Buckley's Small 4" Scissor. I just love this scissor.
It has to be a chopstick as it's great when turning and pushing out points for applique pieces. Always have one in your tool box.
My favorite new gadget is the aqua Olfa ruler. I love how easy it is to change the blades with this.
hildy(at)ebertzeder(dot)de
Love my Ott light I received for Christmas. Now I can see what I am sewing!
My favorite gadget is the threadcutter for traveling. I donot travel a lot, but when I do it is nice to hand piece! Thanks for the chance!
My favourite gadget is my new LED light pad. Now I don't need to tape drawings on the window to prepare my applique...and wait for day time to do it! Lol
L'ucello is my absolute favourite shop in Melbourne.:) I have purchased the pattern and made 2 of the needlecases for gifts.
Love all your fabrics and congratulations on your latest collection! :)
Honestly, my favorite gadget is my rotary cutter. I could NOT imagine how they did it in the earlier days with a pair of scissors and still made the most perfect quilts. What a time saver now!
My most used gadget are my rotary cutters. I have 3 different sizes and two sorts but the one I use most is the 45mm Olfa with the blade that retracts automatically.
My zip up pencil case - does that count as a gadget? - I always has scissors, thread, needles and a pair od reading glasses. I grab it wherever I am in the house or out and about and I am fully armed for my hand sewing projects.
My favorite gadget is the rotary cutter by far. I grab it every day.
My favorite new to me gadget is using applique glue. I also want to try using a small line of glue with piecing.
I love the Fons and Porter luma lighted needle threader. Can you tell I am of a certain age?
My favorite and most used is my rotary cutter!
They are new to me: Ecolux LED Light for your Sewing Machine. They are wonderful. The light bulbs in my sewing machine are impossible. Every time one went out, I had to have a repairman change it. The gadget to do that doesn't work. That became very expensive and annoying so, I bought the Ecolux and problem solved.
Thanks for showing your beautiful fabrics and new patterns. My favourite gadget is my magnetic pincushion, if I drop a pin or two I just wave it over the general area until it appears stuck to it. As I have to sew in the kitchen this is very useful with children and a dog around.
I've just bought a magnet and it's fabulous now just putting the pins down near where it is and they just shoot across to it!! Love it.
I have two favorite gadgets, my rotary cutter and magnetic pin "cushion". Love your fabrics!
My favorite notion is the Perfect Piecing Seam Guide. Once I discovered it, my 1/4" seams started to be perfect and I became one happy quilter.
I like a wearable quilt magnet- that is in quilt block shapes- made in Iowa.
I like a wearable quilt magnet- that is in quilt block shapes- made in Iowa.
I love my sewline glue pen! I'm new to hand appliqué and it's my new best gadget!! Love it. I also love your fabrics and they are what I'm using in my appliqué quilt! Thank you!
Absolutely love the remains of the day pattern. So cute
One item I use to mark lines is painters tape. On my machine for the sewing lines. On the rulers and it's easy to remove.
My most used gadget is my 1/4" quilting foot. That foot is on my machine most of the time. Thanks for the chance - love the patterns.
Magnetic pin cushion not sure thats the word for it but saves the pins from ending up on the floor.
My favorite new gadget I haven't received yet but it's on order. It is something that helps clean my cutting mat. Can't wait!
My aqua olfa rotary cutter is my new best friend!
Right now I love my purple disappearing marking pen for machine quilting. Pure magic!
Your letter G is lovely and I'd love to see a whole alphabet in this style. However, I was hoping to get instructions for the block that will coordinate with the rest of the letters in this blog hop. At the bottom of your blog post you offer links to the pdf files but they all direct me to the letter "A". I'm really going to need that G. Please help. For the giveaway chance, my favorite new gadget is a quarter-inch foot for my sewing machine. Thanks!
I have the snippet trimmer on order. Can't wait to try it out
My favorite gadget is my curved scissors-sharp and very precise.
I've not purchased a new gadget in a bit - fabric seems to call my name these days. But a swap friend gave me a a real auto mechanic's tool - a slender "stick" with a magnet and light at one end. Mechanics use it to retrieve lost screws when working. I use it to locate and retrieve those pesky dropped pins.
Its not new, but new to me.. hair clips to help sew on binding! Takes strain off your hands! Love your fabric!
I love my aqua rotary cutter and Frixion pen.
I don't have a lot of specific quilters tools, but I love my mat and my rotary cutter. And always my thimble when I sew by hand.
Because for the 1st time in 30 years I DID cut my left index finger with the rotary cutter, my new favorite gadget is the rotary-cutter-ruler combo with the cutter *attached* to the ruler. That way one can NOT cut one's finger! Also, the palm fits onto the cutter as opposed to the gripped hand so less wrist stress.
Frixion pens and thanks for the giveaway. Love your new fabric line.
A new gadget for me is the big stitch marking wheel. Looks really helpful.
I love my Olfa rotating cutting mat! It is wonderful for any small bits that need to be cut or trimmed. I found it invaluable while I made my Farmer's Wife Quilt and use it every time I have HST's to trim down. Worth every penny!
New fabric line is GORGEOUS! I especially love the yellows.
Your G is beautiful!
My favorite gadget is not new. It is from the tool department at a big box store. A retractable magnet. Retracts to about the size of a ball point pen. But stretches out to about 24 inches long with a good magnet on the end. Great for retrieving dropped pins etc.
My favorite notion would have to be waxed paper. It's so versatile. Love it for applique, love it for templates, love it for keeping fudge from sticking together! HA!
Not necessarily my favorite gadget but probably my most used through the years would be the dreaded seam ripper. :) I absolutely LOVE your fabric lines and quilt designs! I'm jus so in love with your Bouquet Blue Quilt Kit!
My favorite gadget is the walking foot!
legendarymomma@yahoo.com
My favorite new gadget is a massage ball. Works wonders on tight neck, shoulder, arm and hand muscles that tighten up when I sew.
senstrings (at) yahoo {dot} com
My favorite gadget is my Wiss snips that I keep at my machine and use to trim thread. Love them.
My favourite gadgets are my clover wonder clips, so much quicker and easier than pins for many sewing jobs.
I love a great seam ripper (un-sewer) and the new clover wonder clips are amazing too!
Thanks for the giveaway!!
b.
There is nothing better than my left-handed scissors. I used to have blisters all the time from trying to use right-handed ones.
My favorite new gadget is a tool that makes 4 flying geese at once and they turn out perfectly, I love flying geese and it makes my job so much easier. Love your new fabric line.
My favorite gadget is my curved tipped snipps and pointed tip tweezers. Love your fabric!!!
I don't have many sewing gadgets, so I guess I'd have to go with my rotary cutter.
I love the little Wonder clips they have so many uses.
My favorite tool is my rotary cutter.
I love my ergonomic seam ripper. We all have to do it and this makes it easier!
My newest gadget is a long metal skewer. I use it to lift the fabric when pin basting on the dining room table so the pins don't stick the table. Thanks for the chance!
I love my magnetic pin cushion, and I don't know why I haven't bought one earlier. It makes it so easy to remove pins as I am sewing a seam. Whoosh! The pins are attracted to and clamped securely onto the pincushion, and I am not flailing around trying to stab into a traditional pincushion. Love it!
I haven't tried the new binding clips yet, but they look very promising. I will probably be convinced after I bind a couple more quilts and poke myself with pins. No matter how careful I am, that always happens.
Love French General fabric!!
I have a 2.5 hst ruler that I love! Jmh
My favorite "new " gadget is my FriXion pen because it comes in all different colors for different fabrics and disappears with heat. Thanks for the chance to win.
My Ecolux Led Lights. I have two machines and have one for each. I could not believe how much of a difference they made, i can see!
My favorite new gadget is the Martelli ruler and mat. I love how the ruler actually stays in place without alot of pressure, it certainly has made my cuts much more accurate.
My magnifying Glasses! That starts with G! By the way I can't find the instructons for the block letter G, please advise....Thank you.
My favorite tool is the Olfa rotary cutter.
I have an unhealthy passion for rulers! All sizes and shapes- even rulers for things I don't know how to do- makes no difference!
I love my new strip of LED lights that sticks to the bottom of the arm of the sewing machine. Let there be light!
gigiv13@gmail.com
How about a rug hook? I recently attended Charlotte Lyon and Meleen Dupre' Vermont Getaway. We learned about rug hooking. My new gadget is a rug hook.
I just love your new fabric line. I just ordered charm squares and can't wait to get them. I know I will be ordering much more of this line. I collect blue and white china , and they toile print is a must. I will be getting some yardage of that one for sure. Such a beautiful line. I just ordered a bloc loc ruler for half square triangles. I can't wait to get it. I know that's going to be a favorite gadget for me. You put it over the sewn hst and it locks the seam in place , so no slipping while trimming block down to size .. Thanks for all the eye candy.
My favorite gadget of late is my Dresden ruler. Having a lot of fun with that!
My favorite tool is my scissor that I hang from a lanyard that goes around my neck. Never have to search for them. Your new patterns are fabulous! Thanks for the giveaway.
I love my new (to me) seam ripper by clover. I was using an old dritz and it was a trial. This thing is simply amazing.
I just bought an Angler 2 and so far it's helped me improve my piecing.
I don't have any new gadgets, but the responses so far have me wanting to run to the store! I use a knitting needle to turn my corners. Love your new line, thanks for the chance!
My current favorite tool is a plain old disappearing ink quilt marker. I was too scared to use these before, because I was afraid the marks wouldn't come off like they said they would. What a relief! :)
My favorite new gadget is a new Ott light I treated myself to. Prior I had one of the original Ott lights, did not realize how much they've improved!
My favorite gadget is my light box that my brother made me. Great for paper piecing!
Kathy Davis
kdavis1@centurytel.net
My OTT light!
lori
Grace is my favorite word so I really like the G banner
My favorite gadget that I got for Christmas is a seam ripper with a light...I use it A LOT!!!
I haven't bought a new gadget for a long time. I do love my binding clips.
I don't know what this is called, but my favorite gadget is used for cutting strips accurately. You lay it over the fabric (which is on a cutting mat) and use your rotary cutter along the grooves. Perfect strips everytime!
My favourite new-er gadget are my Karen Kay Buckley scissors. I LOVE those things... especially for applique!
Could you please let me know where I can find the pieced instructions for the letter G? I love your appliquéd banner but I really want the pieced one too... Thanks!
My favorite new gadget is the Dresden ruler. This ruler makes the cutting quick and easy! Such a fun, easy block to make!!
Enjoying this alphabet game. I like the diff rulers for easy measuring. Jan
I love the new perfect clips. they are so great for bindings and corners and holding blocks in a row together and many other things. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite new gadget is "new to me". It is the Shape Plus strip cut ruler. It is the neatest thing since sliced bread...in fact, it is kinda like slicing bread! SO easy to make perfect strips SO quickly since you do not have to keep moving the ruler and realigning. LOVE IT!!
My favorite new gadget are the Frixion pens by Pilot. Great for marking embroidery and the ink disappears upon ironing. Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway and the awesome letter banner!
My favorite new gadget is a freebie ruler I got at quilt market a few years ago from Olfa. I "found" it a few weeks ago in a drawer. It's only 1 1/2" wide and 12" long but is perfect for cutting half square triangles in half. Just long enough not to be bulky like my 6 1/2 x 24.
My favorite tool is my quarter inch ruler. I use it all the time for marking my half triangles and makes sewing quilts and piecing, so much easier for me.
Debbie
Rotary cutter and mat are my favorite gadgets,is so easy cut fabrics with them.
I love your "G" instructions but, I need the Moda "G" for my pattern collection, please. My favorite tool is a rotary cutter. Thanks, Sherry
Where is the G that goes with the rest of the alphabet in the series. Thanks
My latest "gadget" is my Oliso iron. It pops up when no being used (so that it won't scorch your fabric) and it has an automatic shut off after a certain time when not being used. Love your fabrics and thanks for the chance to win.
Janet
Love your new collection -- just so yummy! My favorite new sewing gadget is the fusible bias tape maker. I have a project that needed 1/4" finished bias strips for vines and the bias tape maker made this job SO much easier.
My favourite gadget is my magnetic pin tray. My cat is now safe to pad around the house when my sewing machine is out! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
Glasses, the magnifying clip down kind to help in threading a needle in the evening. Thank you!
I really have grown to love my new glue pen for prepping paper pieces. Your new line is beautiful as usual! Thank you for the chance to win.
Mary
When it comes to quilting I adore my rotary cutter-well I guess that is more for the patchwork stage of the quilting process!
My favorite gadget is my little binding clips from clover, when binding a quilt they are so much better than pins poking you all over....
I love this fabric, it is so calming, reminds me of the calming shores of Lake Michigan where I grew up.

One of my favorite discoveries are the Frixion pens, great for marking half square triangles.
I have a tube of machine oil with a needle for the spout --- allows me to put a "drop" in hard to reach places on my featherweight. I had a machine tech (male) that told me women think, if one drop of oil is good, then many are even better.
I haven't bought any new gadgets in I don't know how long so have nothing to recommend. Thanks for the giveaway!!
I was given a Quilter's Magic Wand which helps in marking half square triangles. I love it because it's so useful, but because it was a heartfelt gift from a new group I joined.
My favorite gadget is my seem ripper that has a clear base and it slides over a pen light
No new gadgets, just my still favorite Olfa 12 inch rotating mat.
Oh my goodness ... how do I pick just one? I love gadgets. The good thing is that most of the ones that I pick up at quilt shows and stores actually turn out to be good investments! Someone else said Wonder Clips (can you believe some people still use straight pins?) and a couple of people said Frixion pens (love that you can find them in so many stores). So I guess I'll say the June Tailor slotted rulers that you can get at places like JoAnn Fabrics. I know it's not an indy quilt store, but the slotted rulers make such quick work of getting fabric cut quickly and accurately so that you can get on with the sewing! I have all of the different sizes, including the specialty one for cutting Dresden Plate blades and the one meant for squaring up HST's and QST's. Wish more people would try them.
My favorite gadget is my rotary cutter. When I was just starting I used scissors and nothing was straight! My rotary cutter is a MUST!
My newest favorite gadget is the Altos Quilt Cut II. It was expensive but worth every penny! It has increased my cutting speed and accuracy. Love the new line and the new patterns. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Anyone who wears glasses will surely love this gadget - a seam ripper with an attached magnifying glass and light. Michaels and Joanns carry them, I believe.
Charlotte S.
My Machinger gloves - couldn't quilt without them
I am not much of a gadget girl...but, love my rotary cutter, my new seam ripper, a little porcupine bobbin holder...and scissors galore! Love your fabric lines...so pretty!
Binding clips are such a help when doing a binding.
Not sure if this is really consider a gadget, but my most helpful tool when machine piecing is my Ott light....and of course, my glasses, ha ha.
I'm wondering, your letter doesn't look like the others in the series...is there a G block that goes along with the hop?
I don't know that I have any new tool, but I think that I really like the clover clips...they help my hands not to cramp when I'm sewing down a binding. Thanks for a chance to win your giveaway.
I recently purchased a *Seam-Fix Seam Ripper/Thread Remover Tool* at my LQS. It has a ridged rubber tip for removing those tiny bits of threads from a seam when you've had to do a bit of *reverse* sewing! And it comes in great colors too! LOVE your new fabric & patterns, especially the one utilizing drunkards path blocks!!
It isn't new to me, but my favorite gadget and best friend when quilting is my seam ripper. Really like the Clover one because of the design of the handle on these arthritic hands of mine. There are so many wonderful gadgets out there that I use!!
Your new fabric line is beautiful as always, and the new patterns are great too.
I don't have a favorite gadget but the Ott light and Rotary cutter get used a good bit.
I love using the little red clips!
Thanks!
My favourite gadget these days is my June Tailor Strip cutter - I can cut strips of any size quickly and accurately! Love your fabric and patterns!!
My favorite gadget is a 2-1/2" x
6-1/2" ruler I picked up at my local quilt shop. I believe it is made by Creative Grids. Love it!
I really love my seam fix seam ripper, it works great, although I would prefer not to use it!
My newest gadget are my Kai 4" embroidery scissors. Sharp!
My favorite gadget is a pincushion thread catcher made from a purchased pattern on Etsy. Saves space on my small sewing table and does double duty. I made mine to match my candy-apple red Singer Featherweight!
your new line is lovely! and the patterns really showcase the fabric. i'm enjoying the blog hop and would love to win a prize. my favorite new gadget is a triangle ruler.
I love my Go Accuquilt cutter, not sure it is really a gadget, just a great tool.
General's charcoal pencils....not new but not widely used as quilt marking pencils....highly recommended by noted instructors. The lines from these pencils are easily removed with an eraser, the points are easily sharpened and they are easy to find at Joann's or Michael's in the art supply sections.
Where is Moda's letter G? Your link went to the letter A. Thanks for the banner instructions.
My favourite gadget? My rotary cutter with a new blade.
My new favorite gadget is my rotating cutting mat. Makes it so much easier!! Love the new fabric, thanks for sharing!
My new favorite gadget is my rotating cutting mat. Makes it so much easier!! Love the new fabric, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the chance to win. My "new" gadget, as I just got back into quilting in October is my Seamfix seam ripper. It has a rubber top to catch and pull the threads out. Love it when I need it, makes easy work.
I don't have and new gadgets but I will look at the comments and see if anything catches my eye.
My current favorite sewing room toy isn't new, it's old...I've been having fun playing with piecing on my treadle machine. As for gadgets, I'm at the age where needle threaders are looking better all the time! pbstrand@msn.com
my gadget is a spool holder! yippee!
My favorite new gadget has got to be my hexagon plus ruler! It's great for cutting hexagons, triangles, and gems!
I love my frixion pen to make markings! It's a pen whose ink will disappear with heat! on paper I usually rub it with eraser, the friction creates heat. But ironing seams on fabric... Voila, the markings are gone! I guess it might be good or bad depending if you might still need the markings or not.
pramuditahandaristi at gmail dot com
My favorite new (to me) gadget is my lighted-edge Quilter's SlideLock that holds the fabric steady while I cut with my rotary cutter - and keeps my fingers out of harm's way!
Your quilt patterns are absolutely lovely!
Am I being crazy or is there not a PDF for the G that moda designed? I can't find it!
My favourite gadget.... Not sure it counts as a gadget but I love best press. Love love love it.
Aejclarke@gmail.com
My favorite gadget is Clovers 45 rotary cutter!
My favorite gadget is my stilleto. Can't sew without it!
By far my favorite new tool is the Seam Fix seam ripper. It is especially useful when ripping out stitches at the longarm.
I've found that I need more light and I bought the Ott light - Love it!!!
My new used Pfaff Hobby Quilter came with a screw in seam quidde. First time I've used one. My blocks are much more accurate
I love my Olfa blade with the pinked edge. I use it when preparing fabric for washing, as well as for decorative raw edges.
My newest "gadget" is my olfa splash rotary cutter. I love it! Thanks for the chance to win.
Wonder clips! They are great for holding lots of layers together!
I have to say my 1/4 sewing foot
what a great idea, the banner is super cute. My favorite new gadget is the rotating cutting mat by fiskers.. such a time saver when squaring up the blocks.
My favorite new gadget is the binding foot by Martelli, I love it ! I think I will get the zip bind kit too .. as well, I am in love with Scan N Cut for applique .. I hope to get one soon !
ladyasheril@hotmail.com
My favorite gadget is Dritz Fons & Porter 1/4 seam marker.
Also, I too am hoping you put together a G block pattern to match the other alphabet blocks... did you? If not, I'll just make up my own! (your applique block is lovely though)

I'm not much of a gadget person, and haven't purchased anything recently. However, of the gadgets I do have, I would never be without my seam ripper. Not only is it good for ripping out seams, but I also find it invaluable for holding my fabric when sewing pieces together.
I don't buy many gadgets but I love my 2.5" wide Creative grids ruler which is 18.5" long too. Great for strip cutting.
Rotary cutter!
I can sew for hours sitting on my purple GENIE SIT-UPON!
My favorite gagdget is the internet. Tons of ideas from great quilters!
My rotary cutter, ruler and mat! The long way I could not imagine the time.
Your fabrics are lovely! I can't seem to find the moda link for the letter G, the links I tried were for your banner and the other linked to the letter A. Am I just missing it ?
Hi! Cute banner. I cant find the link for the MODA Letter G though...
I've been using my seam ripper quite a bit lately :( What would I do without it? Also love my rotary cutter and mat.
I love the friction pens. Fab that they just Iron off!
As someone that is still pretty new to quilting, my favorite gadget is still the rotary cutter!
I'm a gadget girl for sure - but right now I'm loving my new SeamFix seam ripper - that little eraser on the end makes getting rid of all those threads a breeze!
Love the new line (and all the old ones).
Well I cannot say that it is a new gadget, but I do love my rotary cutter! Makes quilting SO much faster. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

I am not seeing the Moda version of instructions (pdf) for the G letter.
My favourite, new to me gadget has to be the needle threader by Clover. Threads a needle first time, every time!!
Love the new fabric.
Well, I don't have a new gadget but I do love my rotary cutter as I remember cutting a whole quilt with scissors and how tiring that was.
Thank you for the giveaway!
I did love the sweet little banner created with your version of the letter "G" .
Is there a download of the Moda version of the G that we can access to keep our letter patterns consistent?
Thanks so much.
My favorite new gadget is Clover binding clips. They are the best for hand sewing bindings. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
I love my little rotating cutting mat.
My favorite new gadget is the Steady Betty Stiletto.
not a new gadget but my all time favorite tool -- a mechanical pencil with different colored leads. It's perfect for marking any color fabric and the point stays fine so my markings are always exactly the way they need to be!
My favorite new gadget is my Bloc-Loc ruler.
It works great to square up half square triangles.
I LOVE the beautiful Le Bouquet Francais fabrics!!!
Thanks for the chance to win.
The latest fabric collection is gorgeous! I just purchased a little Plexiglas tool that sets the scant quarter inch sewing line on the sewing machine. I've been using it with great success--I recheck my seam allowance every time I sew not and I'm amazed at how much easier things are fitting together!
My favorite new gadget is an app for my iPad called Trace. I use it to take a picture of a portion of a quilt top so that I can audition quilting motifs.
I recently used a flying geese ruler that was great for helping me with accuracy.
Hi! Your banner is cute but I'd like the Moda G pattern to keep consistency with the other letters :) I've always loved French General!
My favorite gadget is the Martelli rotary cutter. It is ergonomic and doesn't hurt my wrist and hand!
The link to Moda for the letter G actually links the letter A. Can you fix that? I would be appreciative. Thank you :-)
Its a gadget but not a 'fancy new one' - if I don't have my small sewing snips around I feel lost! I need those to work!

Favorite new gadget would have to be my travel beard and mustache trimmer I use for unsewing.
My favorite gadget is my Ott light. It helps me see things clearly.
My favorite Gadgets are the Wonder Clips by Clover.Thanks for a chance to win.
I like to use different widths of masking tape to handstitch my quilts... it sticks better than the green paint tape and it's great for guiding a straight stitch line.
Lately I've been using a wooden wallpaper seam roller for pressing seams when paper piecing and anytime I would have previously done finger pressing. Really handy!
I love the cute binder clips that I just got and love my new pair of clips. Love the French fell of all your collection, wish I was close to take some of the classes
My favorite gadgets, though not new, are my Glasses and my seam ripper! Always put to good use :D!!
I love my new Itty Bitty Twister Tool.
My favorite gadget is a new ruler that helps me to trim down half square triangle blocks.

I love the new Clover seam ripper!!
My latest gadget is the Tri-Rec ruler!!
I am loving my new cutter bee scissors. They are small and the blades are thin but incredibly sharp! Such a life saver!
My favorite gadget will always be my Havel's Snip-A-Stitch scissors. They are so much easier on my hands than putting my fingers in holes!! I have 3 pair so they are always within reach!!
The newest gadget I have found that I like for applique is a fabric glue pen. thanks for the giveaway. Your quilts are gorgeous.
For those looking for the link to the "G" block in the style of the rest of the letters on this blog hop, it can be found here:
http://www.modafabrics.com/g_spellitwithfabric.pdf
You can actually get any of the letters you want if you copy that into your browser address bar, and then change ONLY the letter to the one you desire. For example:
"http://www.modafabrics.com/g_spellitwithfabric.pdf"
Changes to:
"http://www.modafabrics.com/i_spellitwithfabric.pdf"
in order to get to the .pdf for letter "I".
Hope this helps!
My favorite gadget is my rotary cutter. My newest "gadget" is an eraser that I use to brush off loose threads from reverse sewing.
I just got back into sewing and am amazed at the new things that are available now.
Oh, I love Fray Check!
My favorite tool is my small scissors that I use for embroidery and sewing projects. I always love your fabrics but I think this collection is my absolute favorite - especially the colors!

My magnetic pin cushion. I love it. I bought an extra that I only keep my scissors on so I won't misplace them!

My favorite new gadget is my set of Clover wonder clips. I LOVE them! I also love my Clover seam ripper---use it far too often! Thanks for the giveaway with your BEAUTIFUL fabric....Love French General!
