In an effort to have more time to spend designing, I’m no longer selling tools and supplies. But I don’t want to leave you hanging! That section of the shop has always been where I share all my favorite things!

So here’s a list of all the tools and supplies I used to sell – organized by craft – with links to where you can get them now. (The links followed by an asterisk are affiliate links, which means I make a small commission on each sale.)

• Fiskars Easy Action Rag Quilt Snips 8 in *

Embroidery and Felt Supplies

Crochet Supplies

• locking stitch markers
• tapestry needles
• Cat Eyes
• Comic Eyes (these aren’t exactly the same as the ones I carried, but they’re the closest I could find)
• Safety eyes – black and colored – you can also find lots of safety eyes on Etsy, included gorgeous hand-painted glitter eyes

Fabric

I’m using Spoonflower fabric now for all my samples because it never goes out of print! Plus it’s super fun to work with fabric I designed especially for applique. 🙂

Spoonflower has millions of options – which can be a bit overwhelming – so I also have my fabric listed here on Shiny Happy World in these categories.

• Shop by Color
• Shop by Color Collection
• Shop by Design
• Shop by Theme
• Cheater Quilt Fabric

Each listing redirects to that specific palette or collection in my Spoonflower shop.

• Putting Fusible Adhesive to the Test
• Which Products Do I Use When? Freezer Paper, Fusible Adhesive, or Sulky Sticky Fabri-solvy?
