I have been writing on index cards. I have a metal rings with them on it and I write different sewing notes, quilting ideas,
Names of thing to look up on internet like food, quilting, sewing, embroidery, crafts, etc. When my index card get to big I put them in a index card holder. This would be so much better. I do put index card holder with a theme for each. Thanks for sharing looks great!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]566883[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]566884[/ATTACH]here is mine - a wonderful gift from my wonderful husband. It is on wheels, and it fits fat quarters very nicely! I took out the wire rod from the drawers, and lined them with thin cork under the tools, and plain fabric under the fat quarters.

Beautiful piece of furniture. You could probably cover the core board with felt for the bottom of the drawers. Enjoy.

When I worked at a library in Missouri, a woman came in and had lost her keys somewhere in the library. We found them a couple of months later........in the card catalog. She had used them to mark a place and then forgot she had done that.

Is this the same one posted on Facebook?? I'd use it to store my Valdani thread.

So cool you acquired this old library card catalog - I remember using them as well. I'd do exactly what you're going to use them for. Perhaps put a label on each drawer with what is in each drawer and have an index typed up of what's in each drawer. I have fabric in some shelving drawers and recently went through them and will make up an index of the whole thing.
