Getting Ready for Class

I'm all ready for the Boro mending class I'm taking later this month with Sandra Johnson at QuiltCon Together. 

A little kit was offered for sale to have all the same tools as she'll be using, especially the long sashimi needle.  

I was very pleased to find that the leather thimble actually fits on my fingers because it's a bit stretchy. That's usually a problem for me, but apparently goat leather works. I bought two extra colors of the Wonderfil Perle Cotton #8 to complement the white that was included. 

And I put it all in the Quilt Con Together pouch which was even more capacious than I'd expected as it has a 3-d bottom.
