Vicki over at Field Trips in Fiber is hosting a 3 week REAL studio tour. Read more about it here. This is week 1, and we’re sharing our favorite non-traditional tools. Next week the topic will be favorite storage methods. The final week will be the big reveal, where we will share photos of our studios as they really look in mid-project.
My very favorite non-traditional tool is my repurposed magnetic magazine rack. I use it to hold my acrylic quilting rulers up off the work surface where I can find them. Before I had this, I was constantly misplacing my rulers under the files of fabric on my work surface! Because it’s magnetic, I can also use it to hold little notes, small pieces of fusible web and other little things that easily get lost. And, it’s my favorite color, so I just enjoy looking at it!
So hop over to Vicki’s blog to tour the other studios, and see their very interesting non-traditional tools. And don’t forget to come back next week for the tour of storage ideas.
What a great idea! thanks for joining in.
I also love this idea. On the side of my large storage cabinet I put in screws and just store my rulers there.
Another great way to store rulers – we do accumulate a lot of them, no??!!
