FQ & charm pack storage
 

I found a wonderful way to store these. My sister owned a store that sold greeting cards. She had a card stand that she no longer needed. I snatched it up and now store my FQ's and charm packs in it. It holds them perfectly!

Perfect and now they are all visible instead of lost like in my sewing room.

Clever idea...I have an old small box that I put many of my fat qtrs in and use it as decorate in my livingroom...people have no idea that its for my quilts and they love it...I love it.

what a great idea!! Thanks for sharing.

Great idea. I like your pegboard with screw drivers on it, too. I never thought of keeping my own screw drivers in my craft space. I think I'll go buy a set just for me so I'll always know where to find them. Hmm, maybe pink handles so everybody knows they're mine...

My husband got those for me for Christmas one year. He got tired of having to get his from the sewing room! And, you know, I've been amazed at how often I use them :)

Very clever!

What a neat way to keep them organised and by color to , Dottie Bug

WOW! Now that's a cool idea. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Great idea! Neat too!

I purchased an old mail sorter cabinet. Has just the right size to store all of my FQ & 1/2 yds. Bought it at antique shop & the gal asked what I was going to do with it , she said well I wish I would have thought of that, it wouldn't have gone in the shop. Narrow & doesn't take up much space but holds lots of fabric.

Great idea.......thank you for sharing!

That's an awesome way to display/store your FQs! I have a similar way, but it is behind my closet door. This rack system was often used for storing VHS movies. I used to store notions on these shelves, but have recently decided to put my FQ's there so they're easier to see. This is still a work in progress, have more to do, but you get the idea.

Great idea - now if I just knew someone with a card store!!

Love it great idea!

how nice!! i would need 100 of em for my fq's!!

That's exactly what I was thinking! But what a great idea, now I'm thinking outside the box for storage.

Okay I can see quilters riding by dumpsters looking for card racks. You know it will happen and I plan on looking this afternoon. Great idea.

Cool idea! I want one!

Great idea for seeing your FQ's quickly, and they don't take up too much room.

What a great idea, and I ACTUALLY have one in the garage.....thanks.

I'm jealous!!! Great idea and doesn't take up much space.

That is so pretty to look at! It doesn't take up as much room as a dress form would and is so cute to boot. Thanks for sharing.

Very good idea!

GREAT idea - I'd like to go "shopping" in your sewing room!!! :)

Nifty and neat. In the eye and out of the way. Sounds like a bargain to me!

Now doesn't that beat all..................

Very neat idea. I would love to find one of those.

I wish I saw this sooner. A paper store went out of business and had racks like this for sale.

neat idea
:)

Can't ya just see a cat climbing to the top? Great idea!...not the cat but the card rack

That is a brilliant idea! Everything is tidy and visable. Thanks for sharing.

Great Idea

Great idea. I like to pegboard too! :)

Now that is just plain clever!

It make a nice display too.

I have one of those. used it for my quilting mags until they got to be too many and now it has DH's mags and papers he wants to read on it.

Wow, that is great.

I discovered this by accident. I have bought 4 total so far and each cost me less than $2.50. :) they work perfectly and actually take up very little space. I don't store all my fat qtrs here, just current ones I might be working with in near future. Btw, charms packs fit just right....notice on left upper shelves
