Thanks, great idea!

Well, I started out with a lovely new craft room in our new house. My husband built shelves for my clear plastic bins that I have for each colour fabric. I wash all my fabric as soon as I purchase it and iron it before putting it into it's correct bin. Everything was going along smoothly and orderly - until I had to have both my feet operated on last Oct. My craft room is downstairs! I wouldn't be able to go downstairs for at least 6 months, so I brought all my sewing things up into a bedroom upstairs - no shelves or cupboards! So there's bins all around the room on the floor, plus the ironing board, queensize bed in the middle, table with my sewing machine against one wall, boxes and bags with projects all over the bed and behind the door. It's an effort to get around to the ironing board! Re scraps though - when I finish cutting out something, I cut the small scraps into 2" or 2 1/2" squares and have plastic bags for matching colours of each size. Have a great pattern for a quilt that uses 2 1/2" squares, so am saving them, need quite a lot. Kristene

These are very nice. This reminds me of a post I made on the Crafts Forum about the bookjmark exchange we did in 2000 over there see link anyway if you go to the gallery on that forum you can scroll down and see some of thebookmarks I received from different members it was a lot of fun. Here is a link that might be useful: 2000 Bookmark Exchange - Crafts and Decorations Forum - GardenWeb

lisaam -- I had very little experience. I know how to use a sewing machine and had hemmed pants. I sewed maybe once every year or two. I have no desire to quilt or make clothing, but I'm really enjoying these shades! I'd like to try a tablecloth and decorative pillow covers. I need to do something with all the fabric I bought and decided not to use, LOL.
