Good use for Peels
 

Besides using "Peels" for their intended use (which is to wrap them snuggly around spools of thread to prevent run-away ends), I found them very helpful to sort of "clip" my strips onto the sides of a shoebox while I'm sewing.

I'm making a log cabin quilt, and of course that require a lot of variety of colors and lengths of fabric.
My other methods of trying to keep track of 6 neutrals and 12 or so colors were getting on my nerves.

A huge lid for a storage tin makes a great temporary holder for my long strips.

But for the shorter ones?
Peels to the rescue!

They are so cute! I had not heard of them before.

I had a small clothes drying rack that I used at one time - but then my cat decided that it would be great fun to climb on it.

thanks for the tip

Thanks for the picture.

The bottom picture looks like a play pen for fabric.

Great fix!

What a great idea! You can get 60 for a lot cheaper than the price of 12- do I need another new thing??? Hmmmm...... :D

It does!! Thanks for the chuckle.

same with me! loll

Gee I had never heard of them. Thanks for letting us know about them.

What a great use for peels...I have a few loose ones hanging around in my thread drawer.

I love my peels! But so far I have only used them for the intended use. Need to open my mind for re-purposing! :)

Wow, aren't you clever!!!!!!!! Much nicer than just clothespins.

I, too, had not heard of the Peels, so appreciate the update. For keeping my strips & squares arranged while piecing, I use an old potato chip rack. Works wonders and pieces aren't getting lost!!!
