A Favorite Container

Perhaps, my favorite sewing room container is this hand-made basket. It was made in 1990 by my friend Lita. I keep it at my sewing room door. I use it to hold items that need to be brought downstairs on my next trip out of the sewing room like this great bag made by my friend Brenda. This floral bag hold stitchery supplies.

This Moda tin holds my Featherweight bobbins. It was purchased by friends Debbie and Gretchen on one of our Atlanta shop hops. I drove my van. They payed for gas in fabric and this super tin. I love Moda fabrics! I love these Moda tins.

Another Sewing Container

This great sewing tin was found at a local antique shop. I just love how it looks. Before I began quilting, I sewed lots of garments. I used lots of Simplicity patterns. Inside the tin, I store some of my buttons. Most of these were from my mother's sewing box. She cut buttons off of any item of clothing before it became  a rag. 

Container Contest

Sweet P. at Coffee Time Quilt Studio (love her blog title) is close to posting her 300 entry. She is having a contest. To enter the contest, bloggers have to post a picture of unique storage containers in their sewing areas. 

This Moda tin holds a wool table runner project in my sewing room.  I was fortunate to win it at my local quilt shop as a door prize during one of their anniversary sales. I love Moda Fabric. This tin is a great size and a sewing item that I treasure.  Thanks Sweet P for an interesting contest!
