Basic sewing supplies

Bobbin thread
Invisible thread - YLI or Sulky or any Wonderfil thread
Design wall - (to keep your stuff together <G>) 45" x 45"
Optional but recommended: Decorative thread and other embellishments, have fun packing this up!
Fabric: 1/2 yard background fabric (leftover blocks
or "watercolor squares" okay)
1/4 yard contrast fabric
Assortment of scraps 4" or larger: Novelty fabrics, florals, batiks
work well.
** Don't worry about your fabrics - the more we have, the more we can share (and usually the 'perfect' fabric is the one left at home)
You should also have:
Sketchbook or visual journal, sharpie pen, paper (a good size is 18 x
12" or smaller), fusible interfacing, small amounts of your preferred
fusibles. Steam a Seam 2 is good to have for the novelty elements.
