General’s White Chalk Pencil is one of our favorite marking tools (click here to see all the ones we carry) and the set of two pencils and a sharpener is a real bargain! Especially since one of these sets will be free to this week’s winner, Kittynielson!

The pencil makes a line that you can see and it brushes off well. The chalk line that you draw around your templates is part of the seam allowance. The line should turn under completely so that you don’t see it.

Part of my cleaning out process resulted in a collection of cloth and plastic zipper bags. I don’t need them for my reorganizing, but hopefully, Trish will be able to put them to good use!

And as a special additional bonus, a fun cloth bag from Moda, added to the collection since this photo was taken.

It is exceedingly rare to find a whole new needle but Colonial’s Tapestry Petites fit the bill! We carry both the #24 and the #26 sizes. The winner of the shorter #26 size has an unusual username: Simply stitching.

These needles are short, with big eyes, and a sharp-enough point. I will use both the #24 and the #26 when hand sewing with #12 and #8 pearl cotton. I think they will be good for embroidery, big-stitch hand quilting, and big-stitch applique.

This week’s giveaway is the Sewline Trio Colors Fabric Pencil – 3 colors in one erasable fabric pencil! You just rotate the grip to advance a lead color – black, white, or pink.
