    I have been using up my tiny scraps to make these little needle books. They are 3 inchs by 3 inches. Thanks for looking!

    I organized my fabric into a nice palette of colors by using some of my quart canning jars. It has been so easy to find my fabric rather tha rummaging through the drawer that I had thrown them all in!

    i love the idea of storing scraps in the canning jars! I just may have to copy that. Did you know if you submit that idea to AMerican Patchwork and Quilting magazine and they publish it, then you get some $$ (I think $25!)?!

    Just love your needlebooks,what a great idea for a craft booth.
    I like the idea of the jars, now, do you keep them on your sewing table or on a self ? you want to be able to store them but they are a pretty decoration! Great idea.
