Yesterday's entries into the Storage Container Contest:
- Brenda at Pumpkin Patch Primitives showed some cool jars she uses for threads.
- Betsy at Quilting Fiesta uses a meat tray for her sewing machine tools.
- Cheryl at Hillingdon Quilt Services has two entries: one of a chocolate tin she uses for storing buttons and a sewing basket that was once used by her friend's mum.
- Kim at Kim's Quilting Adventures shares a jar filled with FQ's and a circus tin that was once used to send Peanut Butter Cookies that is now used for sewing notions.
- Doni at Quilting and Life in General just moved to Oregon from Nebraska. She says her unique storage container is her new condo!
- Pat at Bell Creek Quilts uses an old wooden silverware drawer for holding various sewing tools.
I hope you have good plans for the weekend. We will busy with graduation parties, Engaged Encounter meetings, Red Sox, Celtics and golf! I may even have time to work on a quilty project or two!

Oh that basket is too cute. I remembered that my meat tray that holds my sewing supplies is really a salad bowl from Arby's. I use several of them in my gardening area too because they are so deep.
I will be posting my next container this afternoon. We can just go on and on about containers couldn't we.
I'm enjoying looking at all the containers! I made a basket like yours early in my basket making time...way before I started to sew and quilt except mine doesn't look as nice/cute as yours :)
I love the little measuring tape in your basket. How creative! I'll post my thread basket today...don't forget to go and see it! =)
did you forget me? I posted yesterday also....

Hey - we're twinsies *s* I have that same basket in red. I use it to tote my hexagon star project all around. I love it!
I posted 2 more today too - the cutting stuff holder and more importantly the one for the quilting frame.
I love that basket :)
I posted a few containers on my blog, too.

Hey, Sweet Pea, I just posted another example on my blog. Have a great day.
Paula, my storage ranges from the smallest bits of scraps (1/2" to 6") in these reused boxes from a previous [till 2000] place of employment http://bp3.blogger.com/_VZD79IiHtx0/RlUO4_4FrEI/AAAAAAAAAHA/6AP33Fm3sA8/s1600-h/IMG00024.jpg to this wonderful sorting bin from a hardware store many years ago (at least 40) via my DFIL's garage) for my FQ'a and WIPS http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2905/3205/1600/sewing%20room%20west.1.jpg
