ziplock bags of all sizes! for tops; projects; cut pieces ready to piece; binding waiting to be attached; notions, etc. Also, for my long Accuquilt dies (like the stripe ones) I bought those file folder "shelves" that attach to a wall and each shelf holds a die so not stacked on top of each other and out of the way. plus I have my grandmothers tin muffin/mini bunt tins at both my DSW & LA for all those little things that need to stay near but easily get lost, like bobbins, etc.

The clear plastic fruit and veggie bins from several old, dead, refrigerators- they act as suspense files for non UFO projects that are in line to be worked on. They’re big enough to hold several projects each, but are lightweight for carrying around and can be stacked...

I hit the dollar store for small plastic items for large pill containers, little plastic box with drawers. Mason jars small buttons, and large jars pieces of fabric cut for sewing dogs, cats, snowmen,coffee cups, teapots etc. Spare glasses for reading ( my glasses are hard to sew with that line in the middle gets me). My mother in law' s old wooden china cabinet. Nice storage there. Also a small dresser under my window only 2 and a half foot tall and the same length as my window. A old school desk over it it is like a table type not with a seat. Baskets from goodwill for fat quarters. My best is the old pictures of my two kids and now also grandkids hanging on the walls. Last my TV old movies DVD's and tapes to have to watch or the radio with the bible dvd's and my music gospel, and old music. Ok a snack drawer and a warmer for my coffee and coffee mug.

Painter's tape to mark straight line quilting patterns.
I also use a silverware caddy for tools, pens, pencils, etc.
Small dining table for my sewing table.
Empty plastic slide boxes for pins, and other small items.
There are probably other things I can't think of right now!
