You all have given me some great ideas for saving on my quilting. I use the empty spice bottles that I get at Costco for putting broken needles,pins and blades. I'm a safety nut when it comes to those things have had 2 friends hurt badly from stepping on needles that have fallen and got stuck in the carpet. One of them is crippled the needle did so much damage to her foot. Must accidents happen at home,so I tie to be as safe as I can and I wouldn't want someone who came to visit to step on one either.
