They do wonders for holding notes on the frig and steel doors, too! :)

Another ....
* Baby change table!
I found a beautiful wooden colonial change table at a garage sale a couple years ago. Two shelves underneath and the change table on top with a nice stand up moulding at the back.
Then found some wicker basket/boxes to store WIP and the fabrics for them. Works great for storing all together til a project is done.

You'd have LOTS of display area for those quilts. How about a baby crib? or cradle? One of the LQS here have bolts of fabrics in the old iron cribs. Kind of neat! Maybe what you need is a clothes line for the minis! :)

But be sure the magnets don't get near your computerized machines. They can wreck havoc on the machines. Also, never get them near your computers. My computer teacher in college told us about the magnets. They will erase things.
