    I was digging through storage looking for more fabric and when I opened up the container, there was a bunch of old sheet music on the top. Because I had been looking for a particular song awhile back, I thought I would see if I might have put it in the container, so I moved the top sheet music off and found the entire container was FULL of quilt magazines, books, and patterns (with some cross-stitch, plastic canvas, and crochet patterns mixed in). I have already pulled several out for consideration, but haven't even had a chance to look through the entire container. I haven't seen these patterns in close to five years when I lived up in Washington. The container was buried under a bunch of boxes that we still haven't gone through (and we've lived here for over four years.) I know I am going to find duplicate books and patterns. I am sure I know where to go to pass them on when I do, though. :lol: I already have a few that I've set aside to pass on to other quilters.

    My find! - This is one of the deep rubbermaid containers.

    Wow... congrats on finding it.

    I lost my quilt top during a move three years ago. I finally found it last weekend.

    Great find! We moved just over 5 months ago and it is fun to finally find thngs that you know have to be some where! We hope to open every box over the winter and re-label everything. I was very careful labelling sewing stuff, so don't think I am missing any of that.
