Where Did You Get That?


Such a fun Quilters' Guild Acadienne  program that involved every member of the group.  Each member brought a favorite item that had nothing to do with quilting and shared where they got it and how it was re-purposed to support their quilting habit: 

Where Did You Get That Link for your reading pleasure and inspiration.  Yep....thinking outside the box is a good thing! 

A good thing  as in quirky extension cords/plugins ~  how many extension cords does a quilter use?  Let me count the ways we can plug in our sewing machine, iron, extra lights/lamps and don't forget that light box too! 






And how about those department store clothes hangers?   Together at last....all those quilt blocks hanging together for that one special project you'll finish one day.  Hang the binding and extra fabric here too.   Yes, waiting for me all hanging together.
Oh, and be sure to recycle those prescription bottles....they hold used needles and pins and the wide mouth ones will hold used rotary blades.  No more pricks and cuts when emptying the trash. 
Yeah, baby, now that's a really good thing! 


***update edit to include the wide mouth rolling tool bag  Amy uses to transport her sewing machine and sewing needs. Thanks Amy....now this blog post is a wrap.

  1. I was out of town for that meeting, but wanted to share my favorite sewing machine travel case...a rolling tool box bag available at hardware stores. They are sturdier and more durable than most of those made for sewing machines. My Husky 18" bag from Home Depot fits my standard size Bernina machine perfectly.
