Do you like to organize things? I do, especially my fabric pieces when I am putting together a block with lots of parts. I recently saw these wonderful boxes on Teresa's FabricTherapy blog (http://fabrictherapy.blogspot.com/ ) and had to go out that day to Michaels and see if we had them here. We did, and they were 40% off!
Even a box for the paper foundation pieces - got to love it!
Speaking of paper piecing, here is a little tip on how I piece these tiny little triangles needed for the snail trail block, which measures 3 1/2 inches unfinished and has 20 pieces.
I use an Add-an-Eighth ruler, meaning the seams are only 1/8 inch and that can shift when you go to sew it. I just use a piece of scotch tape to hold the fabric in place - but do not sew through the tape. The tape can be used over and over and works great.
Thanks for stopping by,
Teresa
I had discovered the little boxes this summer for on-the-go projects and can offer up a testimonial too! I love organizing and containers as well, these are the best!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great organizing tool, and the price sounds pretty reasonable. Your embroidered label is adorable
ReplyDeleteGreat little boxes. Your quilt label is wonderful. How exciting to have your quilt featured at the Houston show. Love all the pictures of the quilts. Glad you and Hubby had a great trip. Wish I could have been there, too.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and read about your quilt at the Houston quilt show. My husband and I have been to Houston too, coming from the Netherlands and I (can't speak for my husband) loved it. You can read all about it on my blog!
ReplyDeleteLove the handy organizer boxes you bought.
