My New Quilting Box

FIRST - I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME
ALL OF MY NEW FOLLOWERS TO
MY BLOG. I HOPE THAT IT INSPIRES

YOU IN ALL OF YOUR CREATIVITY!

A couple of weeks ago I made over a

baby box. I could have decorated the box

with sewing supplies.

However I wanted something different.

My butterflies came

from the scrapbooking supplies at

the craft store. They were a thick

cardboard. And they stuck to the box

really well.

I also desired that the box be simple.

The box was just the right sizse to hold all of

my quilting supplies.

As you can see the first drawer holds my

rotary cutters with their blades.

 The second drawer holds needles, thimbles along

with other small stuff. I found out in Germany in the 1980's

that the best thimble was one with a magnet

on top. I want to buy a couple more of these

thimbles in case I loose this one. Have you

tried one of these type of thimbles? If you get

one of these - you will love it.

I was thinking about

placing cork on the inside of the box lid so I could

pin up some pics. As of yet I am not quilting

any quilts so that will be something that I

do later.

 The bottom drawer holds my large safety pins.

I put these safety pins in zip lock bags. Believe

me I have plenty more safety pins that are

currently being used. I am so glad that this

drawer will hold 3 or 4 more bags of safety pins.

The little black tin box holds my quilt pins. The

little brown egg that you see is a scented acorn.

It smells like vanilla.

I am so glad that this box holds everything. Maybe

you could use a box like this to hold your

cross stitch supplies. Ummm I think I need

another baby box!

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Take care & visit me again!

Many hugs and kisses to you all.
