i have been working on this for over 3 weeks before i saw your post did you find a good source for the plastic corigated board the cheapest i could find it in my area was $20 for a 4'X8' piece. Also i have been cutting with utility knife what does you dh use? Also i have been using large plastic paper clips from walmart 50 for $1.88

Hi Nancy,
I paid $17.00 per sheet and my husband used his table saw. He stacked 2 & 3 at a time. I bought 5 at a time. Please post a picture of your progress.
happy folding :thumbup: and merry Christmas too!!!

I started very small and all I had was a bit of fabric in a shoe box and I only buy on sale unless I am gushing about a specific fabric and my sweetheart says "go ahead and buy what you want" I am very frugal...very frugal!
Have a wonderful Christmas

Looks like you have your own quilt shop going there. The display is very pleasant to look at and must be a pleasure to work with. Excellent job.

2 QUESTIONS: CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE "SIGN MATERIAL"
( HAD BEEN THINKING OF USING FOAM FILLED BOARD )? & WHERE CAN I FIND "BOLT BUDDIES"?

NICE ORGANIZATION! ONCE I START GETTING SHELVING - WILL BE ABLE TO EMPTY THE FIVE TRUNKS & 6 LARGE PLASTIC TOTES SO I CAN SEE WHAT I HAVE TO WORK WITH.

THANKS YOU!

Now that is an awesome idea! My sewing room sure needs help, I will have to try this.

I went all around looking for the coroplast boards. I found one sign shop willing to sell me a sheet for 115 dollars. NOT in my life time. So, I got foam core. I am going to give it a shot and see how that works. Its going to snow this weekend so, i'll be stuck in the house and it'll be a good thing to do. thanks for the idea of doing this to my stash too.

I'm using the foam board from my local craft store. Able to cut it with an exacto knife. It works great! I'll load pictures as soon as I'm done with the last little batch.
