I just thought I would pass along a storage idea. I was at Xpedex the other day and they have these clear plastic containers. These measure 12.5" X 12.5" X 2.5".

The best part is the price they are $3.00 ish.

That's a lot cheaper than the ones at Joann's, even with their 40% off coupon. My SIL said she finds those plastic containers at the sporting goods store too.

That was my thought. I bought 5 of them the other day. The guy says they have them all the time and they go on sale around christmas also. There was also a deeper one in green or red that had a paper divider in it for ornament storage. I bought one of those and put thread in it. It was just alittle bit more than the clear ones.

It's a small world, isn't it? Do you ever get out here?

Has anyone found an online source for these? If so, let us all know.

I would like to have the link if they are available on-line too.

My quilt group uses Pizza boxes. Most places will give you one extra if you buy a pizza or sometime free, if you tell them what you want it for! I love them!

I've been using pizza boxes for a long time. I believe they charged me 25 cts. the last time. I get the lg. ones (14") I think, in case I have larger blocks.
