There are some great ideas here! Love the egg carton idea for the balls of perle cotton. I too use ziploc baggies a lot. I use them for WIPS and to store leaders and enders and HST, and strips. If I am making a quilt with smaller size blocks (like 6") I also use them to store completed blocks. I use the 1 lb size tins that chocolates come in around the holidays to store precut "logs" for log cabin quilts. I also like to store my marking pens and pencils in these kinds of tins. They seal nice and snug and the lid is hinged on so you don't have to worry about misplacing it. I have an antique steamer trunk that still had the inserts (rare!). I use the inserts to store my longarm threads and the big roomy part underneath holds pantos, some of my wide backing and my flannel stash. I use pegboards to hang all my quilting tools and rulers, I have one in my regular sewing room for those tools and another one hangs in my longarm room for my longarm templates and drafting tools for marking.
