CANVASWORK - SCISSORS AND TOOL HOLDERS
We all have the tools of our trade, items like scissors, needles, laying tools, counting
pins, rulers, tape measures, and magnets to name a few. Some we purchase with the
idea we will never use them because they are too good and too beautiful to use. Others
are like work horses and are always being handled.
