GO! die storage
I've got several dies that I wanted to get up off my table, but didn't want to spend the (at least) $16 for a wire rack that Accuquilt sells. I was perusing the storage section at Walmart yesterday looking for some things for work, and found this rack in the kitchen section. It's perfect - holds 8 dies and two mats just fine (2 dies in each section). And it was only $4.97!

I used a silver Sharpie pen. I was tired of trying to find where to lay my fabric without cutting myself, and wanted to waste less fabric. The foam really absorbs the Sharpie, though, so be sure to pick up a couple of the pens!

I like the idea of writing the cut fabric size on the die. I'm going to do that on all my dies. I bought a rack like that at Walmart but it doesn't compare to the Accuquilt rack for sturdiness and weight. It kept tipping over.

The only reason I wrote the fabric size on there is because I walked away for a while to have lunch, came back and had forgotten, and had to re-measure. Thought to myself "I'm not doing this every time I need to use a die!". I'm to dang lazy for that LOL! After that, I pulled all the dies out, outlined them, measured them and wrote it down. Apparently my short-term memory is shot....
