Applique Tip: KFC containers
This may not be new to some, but it is a 'wow' for me so I thought I'd pass it along in case it helps someone else.
I am obsessive about saving those little KFC 1/2-cup serving containers that has the little red lid. I absolutely LOVE them. I also love needle-turn applique.
The other day I was looking for something to spray my Spray Starch into so I could starch and iron my edges under prior to stitching. I thought of those container and used it, finished ironing, and snapped on the lid.
I discovered when I came back, a couple of days later, that the starch was still usable, not dried out, nor did it smell.
Ok...like I said, maybe not a wow moment for some, but I'm pretty frugal so it was for me. LOL

I have a couple of those KFC containers with the red lid, and I use them to store a piece of onion or cut tomato in the fridge. I put them in there upside down so I can see what's inside and use it before it goes bad 'coz I forgot it was there.
