2008 Branson, Missouri Trip

I took a trip to Branson, Missouri with a group of seniors from my church last year. We were on a big bus for the long drive, so it was pretty comfortable. I took some piecing to do by hand on the bus, but found myself dropping things continuously. First my thread dropped and rolled several seats away and I couldn't retreave it until everyone got off the bus at the next stop. Then I dropped my scissors and eventually I dropped my only two needles which I never found. So that stopped that project for that trip.

When I finally got home, I decided to do something about that and I created this little pin on ribbon to hold all my supplys securely for me. It works great.

The ribbon has a safety pin sewn to the back to pin on my blouse. A quilting stitch holder is sewn on to hold a spool of thread, and a travel thread cutter (or small pair of scissors) is attached by a long enough cord to reach your work. It has a small pocket on front to sit in. There is a small pincushion also to hold a few pins and needles. Most important... It works great! If you like to sew and travel, make one for yourself. You'll love it.
