I know this is really dumb of me to ask, but where do you find crates?

Not a dumb question - if you haven't had a need for one you wouldn't necessarily know. Asking questions is how we learn. And, believe me, we all ask plenty of them. Soooo - if you don't know ask away. We're all glad to help.

Crates can be found at K-Mart, Target, Bed/Bath/Beyond, Meijer's. They are big in college towns, too, for the back-to-school students. I've seen them at IKEA also.

I remember years ago we had one from our milkman for milk delivery. Does that age me or what?

Are you Kidding??!! ;)

Wal-mart. A lot of stores have them in the back to school area now. College students use them in the dorms. I have also found them in the hardware stores in the totes and storage area.

Thanks! I'm familiar with the milk crates. They were my salvation for storage in my classroom. I asked because I was thinking of wooden crates such as apple crates, etc. I am really dating myself.

My sewing room is the same except I built in the verndah and put big shelves on 2 walls. I too am going through my fabric as I re- arrange the room to make it easier to get into the cupboards. I have 1 rows of plastic drawers 7 high as well as all the shelves are full of boxes full of color coded fabrics. I am still buying fabric as I see some thing I like. But I am making a baby quilt using most of the fabric from my stash. I will post the quilt when I finish it. I am thinking of doing a couple of blocks to take and show friends at the quilt group.
