I know..I could not believe it when it came up on my search...I do know that she sold the company about 6-7 years ago though! But I thought they declared bankruptcy a couple of years ago.

Current USA in Colorado now owns Lillian Vernon :D (I work with someone who worked very closely with Ms. Lillian for many years.)
That looks like it would work nicely for storage and organization

Would the cubbys be big enough? I use file cabinets. I can get a double row of FQs in them. I just hate to spend money on something I can make myself, or repurpose something, in this case my file cabinets. One time I made a similar thing for my patterns out of foam core board.

You could probably use them -- my FQs are folded the size of DVDs and in an IKEA DVD holder (narrow and tall). DD and DSIL gave it to me several years ago and DSIL screwed it to the wall so it would not topple. Works great -- though I could use one more -- sigh.

Here is what I have now for my FQ's Dh made this when we moved in. It works pretty good, but I am thinking of getting an old dresser instead and using the drawer dividers

Idea is good, but depending on the dresser drawers, might not work in actuality. I have the little plastic dividers (like a box) that I used for socks and lingerie but found I don't use them as much as I thought.

What you have now looks PRETTY GOOD!!
