There are 104 pieces of fabric in this one section

I have only made one large quilt in the past. Most of my projects are wall hangings or throw quilts or baby quilts. When I started working on a quilt for our bed, I knew it was going to be a bit of a project to keep it all organized.

Just one section has over 100 pieces pieces! So it was a lot to keep it straight as I worked. Fortunately, the pattern was very good at helping keep it together during the cutting and initial sewing.

Beads, beads, beads…..and more beads????

When I was looking for a good storage solution for my beading supplies, I searched through a lot of options. I wanted something that would hold a variety of items and keep it organized. I ended up using containers designed for beads and containers meant to hold fishing flies. There are plastic boxes and watchmakers tins. Here’s a look around my beading stash.

These are watchmakers tin containers.
