I bought a rack from and for my accuquilt dies. and when I got it i thought well that was a waste of good money when I could have gone to wall mart and bought a rack for dishes or something similar. I use it for my dies and all my rulers.

I made a canvas hanger for the back of the door with pockets for each ruler. I used a pattern from By Annie and modified the pockets to fit my collection of rulers.

One has my two rotary cutters, another some odds and ends of tools, and the middle one has my calculator.
Another re-purposed item is one of those brass newspaper holders you keep at the fireplace. Solid and heavy and great for holding pattern books.

Okay, I went to the local Salvation Army Store and the Goodwill Store and bought record holders and file folder holders for less than $1.00 (.50 to be exact) and then put all my rulers and square measures in them in my storage area (the basement). Also, check out those garage sales, you can re-purpose lots of stuff to work for our quilting needs.
