Pizza boxes: to keep projects together - clean ones
Hi, the answers to your post gave me a treasure trove of great ideas. Thank you! As a new to quilting granny I would never have thought of some of them, however I had already stolen my hubby's "T" square for marking.
I like to make wall hangings and pillows...I have had fun selling them at local craft shows. I have tons of scrap pieces of ribbon, rick rack trims and the like. I washed out the huge plastic pretzel jar from COSTCO and put them all inside helter skelter. Then with a gingham square covered the screw on lid. Looks like a giant jar of chutney or home made jam in a mason jar.
When the grandkids were toddlers years ago I would give them the open jar to sit and play with on the floor of sewing room while I sewed! I also used the pieces to teach them their colors and how to count.
It looks so cute all mixed up and I have quick access to little bits of decoration for the little girl 's felt purses I sell as party favors here in town. I can make flowers, stick figures etc etc with them. Happy Spring everyone! Love this site!!!Granny Kay :)
