I bought this Omnigrid quilting case a few years ago on sale at Joann Fabrics. I find it is perfect for not only quilting projects but to take beads,yarn, etc. along for projects. On this trip I have beads, thread ,needles, pins, buttons,and fabric for brooches.. The beads I have in tubes and round containers that fit into a covered box so I can take out what I need and set the rest aside while I work. The beads are contained in the case if I should drop them while sewing. The needles/pins I can put in the pin cushion (the rectangle of white/black/yellow in the upper corner of lid). It beats using pant leg or shirt to keep them in and sticking myself or loosing them. The case has a number of plastic pockets to store things, one of which is zippered. It's nicer using this case than juggling a tray, or having things loose on my lap or in a bag at my feet. If I'm only crocheting then the yarn can go in a bag at my feet and it is no problem but I am often trying to finish up projects on the way to shows and this is a nice way to do that. Happy traveling. What ways do you carry your supplies to work on while traveling?
