I just got a chuckle from the latest newsletter from the Eastern Edge Quilt Guild. The editor usually highlights a web site or two that she found interesting. This time, the focus was on organizing ideas for quilting. Why did I get a chuckle? Well, for a couple of years, I looked after the organizing of the monthly programs, which included
Ideas and Tips to Share. I would usually have one or two fantastic finds that I purchased at the local Dollar Shop. It got to be a regular part of the evening - Judy & her $ Shop finds!
Here's some of the things I found:
- small plastic containers with lids to organize beads, buttons, bobbins,seam binding . . .
- embellishments (beads, ribbon, yarns, glitter glue, glitter, buttons , , ,)
- cheap scissors for cutting wire
- folders with zippers for organizing patterns, applique pieces, small sewing projects . . .
- jumbo plastic bags
- nylon laundry bags for transporting quilts
- hooks
- office supply containers
- heavy clear glass vases
The site recommended (with me in mind) is
Organize Your Whole House.
Have a look at some of my great finds!
