They come in so handy for anything creative :) Really like your idea of keeping birthday cards for family organized inside one--perhaps that will keep me from forgetting!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442407256361527029.post-33972062923458422672017-04-30T06:01:03.106-07:002017-04-30T06:01:03.106-07:00I mainly use them for kitting charity quilts, simi...I mainly use them for kitting charity quilts, similar to you, and for mailing bee blocks. I put the blocks and an index card with the address in a ziplock, so that if the mailing envelope rips, there is still a decent chance the blocks will make it.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425977539640711969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442407256361527029.post-65698538628603067132017-04-30T01:58:42.220-07:002017-04-30T01:58:42.220-07:00Love pretty Tinkerbell and the pretty colours of t...Love pretty Tinkerbell and the pretty colours of the quilt.

I might add, they are rarely used for anything other than stitching projects. :) <br />I love the look of the blue & green quilt, colours are great.<br />Kay.*-*https://www.blogger.com/profile/13586909718984864426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442407256361527029.post-90119113765577498632017-04-26T09:20:44.277-07:002017-04-26T09:20:44.277-07:00Hi Wendy!

They sometimes do slide a bit, but that means the bins aren't full enough. If the bins aren't full enough, I may slip a book or something in the bin to keep them from sliding...or maybe I just need to buy more fabric. Thanks for stopping by.

Then, when I'm working on an area, I know where the pieces for that color are located. I haven't started the Harry Potter puzzle you gave me for Christmas yet, but if you suddenly notice your ziplocs have disappeared you'll know where they are ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442407256361527029.post-8047504223234481242017-04-24T18:51:20.896-07:002017-04-24T18:51:20.896-07:00Thanks for stopping by, Kathleen.

I have a feeling it's a crutch that I'm going to need to get over if I want to keep things better organized. :-)Goofin' Off Around the Blockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132019340570146841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442407256361527029.post-25184995715099029882017-04-24T16:44:23.037-07:002017-04-24T16:44:23.037-07:00I am glad you enjoyed the machine quilting.

I probably have hundreds in my closet where I keep my fabric, stitching supplies, and work information. Nice to know I'm not the only one who uses them all the time.
