This gal is creative with her storage. http://sewmanyways.blogspot.com/2011....html?spref=fb

How funny - Karen lives in the next town over from me - I read her blog faithfully. She is SO creative. I have to say that one tip she gave that I use is that my light and my iron are both plugged into the same power strip. When I turn off the power strip to shut the light off - I'm guaranteed to turn off that iron too!

thanks for the cool link

that is a great tip

yep , that what I do too... I hate that my iron does not have an OFF button..... it stays "ready" all the time.

I love the idea of putting curtain rods under the table to hold stuff! She is a genius!!!

wow. just... wow...

thanks for sharing!!!

I added this to my favorites bar so I can gpo there and look anytime without trying to figure out which thread she was in.

Great link - thanks.

Really nice and pretty to look at but I hate having my fabric exposed to the light. I have been using a book shelf for years that I covered the front of with fabric curtains. My husband just made doors for it and inside the doors put shelves. Now I can store my rulers, current project patterns, small cutting mat etc etc. It really neatened the place up getting that stuff out of sight.

Love your AVATAR. Can you tell me what pattern that is???

I can't remember - I was looking through my books and patterns and didn't find it! Guess that better be my next organizing project! I have shared what it is on the board before, but I can't find it either. Sorry...maybe someone else recognizes it.

I do not know how this works. IF the question was for me or not.... if it was..Thank you. I did the quilt design myself. The outer blocks are just 4 inch log cabins set up as shown. The finished strips are 1/2" wide (1 inch cuts)and the inner block is titled Poppy #90-23 from Distinctive Florals. The web site is www.DistinctivePieces.com They had a lot to choose from at the quilt show. I have not been on the website. Hope that helps.

I missed that one. How & what does she put on them?

how & what does she put on it.

I read her faithfully too! And my iron is plugged in the same strip as my lamp. Are you sure we are not sisters?? lolol

She attaches them to the wooden legs of her table - looks like she used regular curtain brackets. It is way at the bottom of her page.

thank you I got a lot of ideas from her.
