    Our guild did a workshop for the cutest sewing caddy. Used a see-through plastic 5x7 picture frame that stands up vertically. Cut a piece of the pre-quilted twice the length plus seam allowances and added pockets to the "wrong" side (3 staggered heights on the front one on the back) and flipped them to the "right" side, then stitched them at various points to accommodate sci ssors, pens, seam rippers, a note pad, etc. Then stitched up the sides and slide the whole thing onto the frame. It stands next to the machine (quilted part at top is perfect pin cushion for a few pins, safety pins, etc and my sharp pointed stylus. I have one at each machine and serger and I love them!

    Linda, can you post a picture of your finished project? I have a hard time with written instructions without illustrations. I bet it is really simple to figure out once I were to see the finished project. Sounds like a great Christmas gift for some of my quilting friends.
