Containers and A New Giveaway

Bloggers are still showing their containers. Here are some more interesting containers for you to view. Remember you can post until midnight tonight (EST) to be entered into the contest. I will show the final entrants tomorrow and have DH draw the winners at dinner tomorrow night.

• Kim at Kim's Quilting Adventures has a lovely red box she got from her husband.
• Finn at Pieces from my scrapbag has joined the fun and shows us how she stored her perle cotton thread and books.
• Becky at The Quilting Booklady shared two more containers in her sewing room. She also has a giveaway. See below for details.
• Doodlebug Gail at Quite Quilted has also joined the contest and shows how she uses curtain bags, tins, Tupperware and mugs for storage.
• Linda at living, quilting and stuff sent me the link for the boxes she uses for small scraps.
• Sue at North Winds Quilting is another new entrant in the contest. She has a gorgeous thread rack made by her husband, plus other containers she uses in her room.
• Mikol at MissMikol's Place uses a dish rack to store her rulers. That's something I hadn't thought of and like it.
  

Now, through my contest, I have found a new contest. Becky at the Quilting Booklady is having a birthday give-away and has asked us to show our favorite books and show a quilt we have completed from it. Well, she didn't say we couldn't show a magazine, but that is what I am showing. My all-time favorite quilting magazine is the Stitchery issue of Australian Country Threads. This issue is published once or twice a year. It is the only publication (book or magazine) where I start a project within days of getting it. Sometimes, even hours after getting it. This is current issue and I have already bookmarked three projects I want to make from it.
Here is the first project I started. This will become a stitching roll for carrying projects when it's done.
Here is block I stitched from the first issue of the magazine I bought last year. It needs a border still and will hang on a wall in my studio.
Well, it's time to get my day going. I'm on the last load of laundry and then I can play some more with fabric and thread.
