Old Business Cards
#3
I know we are supposed to be thinking of sewing uses... but I just could not resist offering my idea... perhaps it is because I returned to school (after retirement) and/or recently finished a long-term sub job for a friend who had open-heart surgery... My thought is that someone who is in school could use the backs as review cards/flash cards... It is a great learning strategy for many learners, no matter what age. I frequently cut index cards into smaller sizes for review and your old business cards would have been perfect for many review sessions!

This also is not a quilting use for them, but here goes! I've used some old business cards to organize and store my small post-style pierced earrings. Take a larger sized needle (guess there is a small connection to sewing here!) and punch holes in the card, then put the earrings on. You can fit several pair on a card, especially if they are small. I have mine organized by color. Makes them easy to find and pick out in the morning during the flurry of activity while getting ready for work.

Go to Bonnie Hunter's website (quiltville.com) and learn how to create a template for bonus HSTs. Then show your friends how to use the template (s) and pass forward the knowledge/technique. You could give a demo at a quilt guild meeting or a special "tip" at the next quilt show. I feel so great as my pile of bonus HSTs increases.
I have even gotten to the point where I have now created the templates from expired plastic courtesy cards. There is a natural progression from paper trial to permanent usage.
