Non-Quilting uses for your quilting stuff
#1
So after today I was wondering what you have used your Quilting stuff for?
Project 1. Hemming a pair of curtains for our laundry room. I had old set that was in storage but they were to long. I really diden't want to go through the trouble of cutting and re-hemming them properly. Our laundry/mechanical room is unfinished and I just wanted something to cover the window. Didn't need fancy. So I needed like a 10 in hem. Out comes my trusty quilting ruler and 5 min later I have hemmed curtains.
Project 2. Making a storage cubby for my closet. I went to measure out the pieces I needed and realized I had no idea where my hubby had the wood square. I figured rather than wasting time looking considering I wasen't sure we even had one. LOL I figured that if I could presicely measure yards of fabric I could use my quilting ruler on a piece of wood. It worked great!
SOOO what non-quilting project have you reached for your quilting supplies to do?
