Organizing Tips




Welcome to the third week of the Creative Spaces Blog Hop!  Today is all about organizing tips.

First, the thread.  I have a LOT of thread.  In order to organize it all I have two thread cabinets from Arrow.  They allow me to store all of my thread as well as give a place for my scrap fabrics.



   







Next the scissors.  I had many discussions with my family about how my sewing scissors are only to be used for fabric.  I finally thought of a solution, separate the scissors and tell them to never touch them!  To separate them I use a magnetic knife rack from Ikea.









Binding is the bane of my existence.  I hate making binding.  So I was overjoyed to discover binding by the roll.  But how to store it?  I came up with the solution of ribbon racks.  I am able to store the binding and then use it directly off the rack.  It is easy and takes a lot less time when I am doing my binding!







Want to come hang out while I stream?  My schedule is always on my Facebook and my Twitter.  I also announce on Instagram when I go live.  We have a lot of fun, talk about sewing and quilting and of course have daily giveaways.  I am the giveaway queen after all.

Speaking of giveaways, let’s get to them!

First, the overall prizes. Crafters Edge is giving away their Crossover II Fabric and Cutting system plus several die packs. Daylight is giving away a Slimline LED table lamp. Basal is also donating some prizes. To enter, make sure you visit www.cherryblossomsquilting.com/blog.
