In Joann's, I got a hangar that had a big split circle on it for hanging rulers. The rulers usually have a hole in it, and you just put it through the split like a key ring. As for mats, I haven't figured out anything yet so I just stand them up behind a cabinet.

I had my hubby put up some inexpensive shelves for my AccuQuilt dies. I keep my small ones up there, and the larger ones are all stacked (on their sides) on the floor leaning against my printer cart.

You wouldn't want a picture of mine !!!!!

when I am working, they are all over the place.....I am a snowbird for the winter and bring them all with me.......so you can just imagine !!!

At home, I have one shelf, where they are stored except for a few that are always within reach.

Sorry, I can't be of any help with this storage problem !!!!!

The ones that I am not currently using, I store under the sofa. The ones that I am currently using, I store under my sewing table. Works for me.

Genius, I would have never thought of this, for a design wall. This is how I take pictures of my quilts. Got the idea from someone on this board, when I saw their pics, but never thought about a design wall...Thanks for the idea!!!!!

Most of mine are stored in one of those large empty popcorn cans under my sewing table. The really big ones are behind my ironing board. Diane C.

You should see under the bed, under the couch, in all the drawer, cabinets and any place else that has a few extra inches when we are rv'ing.... Poor DH has no place for him!!!
