I cannot say enough about Melissa and her veteran owned small business. She's created a warm, welcoming, family environment where one can learn quilting basics while making new friends. Her fabrics are high quality and her collection is always grow...
Sew Much Fun With Melissa
The most amazingly sharp scissors, hands down. I learned about these at our local quilt shop and invested in several pairs for my at home setup and my travel case.
Gingher Fabric Scissors
This has really helped me see what I'm sewing and spared my eyes some strain.
It comes in a strip that you can cut to fit your machine the way you want it to. The instructions are easy to follow and they work very well.

LED Sewing Machine Light
For a quick fix or those hard to sew projects.
Fabric Hot Glue Sticks
For the first wash of that quilt you've worked so hard on and don't want the colors to run.
Shout Color Catcher Sheets
When you first start quilting, you don't realize how quickly you accumulate supplies! Yikes! Lol! This ruler rack helped get me organized and uncluttered.
Omnigrid Wooden Ruler Rack
These rulers help tremendously with measuring and cutting. And they fit in the rack! Woohoo!
Omnigrid 6" x 6" Square Quilting and Sewing Ruler
One can never have too many bobbins!
Plastic Bobbins & Case
One of the most ingenious inventions ever!
Magnetic Pin Holder
Adorable! and made of wool which will keep your pins sharp. I couldn't resist!
Pin Cushion Coffee Mug
I was looking for a cutting board that would work in a small space and would store away easily. When I saw this one by Fiskars I knew it was perfect!
The board is self sealing, the rotary cutter is perfect and the ruler is a must have! I highly recommend!

Rotary Cutter 3-Piece Set
There is nothing more frustrating than having to get up and iron, sit down and sew, get up and iron, sit down… You see what I mean?
I decided to set a tv tray next to me with this wool ironing mat atop it and VOILA! Wool holds heat well so having this mat makes ironing quick and effective. I'll share a link to my little iron, too!

Sew Much Fun With Melissa
OMGolly! My husband gifted me one of these Tutto sewing machine cases last year and I absolutely LOVE it!
My local shop, Sew Much Fun With Melissa, has classes and I was having difficulty lugging all my supplies back and forth. But since I got my case, it's been much easier. Granted, I now tend to purchase things like scissors in pairs so that I have one at home and one in my case on-the-go, but I've found it's made life THAT much easier!
These cases come in a variety of sizes, colors, designs and are even available for sergers and other goodies!
Please check our my friend Melissa's shop for your purchase. She's really made our local quilting community one of the better places in town.

This cute li'l iron has saved me so many trips to the ironing board and back to my machine! REALLY! I use a tv tray beside my chair with my wool topper and this little Dritz iron to press my seams. LIFE CHANGER!

FABRIC
This Fat Quarter bundle by Moda is stunning! I used it to make a western themed quilt of cowboy boots (UFO) that is almost done! The colors are true to the 1800s and so fun to work with!
Lydia's Lace 1840-1880
I LOVE these colors! Their 100% cotton jelly roll fabric is of fine quality. The colors are vibrant and the quilt turned out beautifully!
