When I take an appliqué piece with me to work on while I travel, it’s handy to have a bunch of colours to choose from.  I use a bobbin holder to carry bobbins filled with a good mix of colours and this is what it looks like:

When visiting my god-daughter (who is 7 & 1/4 by the way!) she decided to re-arrange them for me.  I like her categories: rainbow, chalk and dull!

Happy Stitching!
