For the sake of your quilts: Eat more salad

November 8, 2008 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

Image from outofthebasement blogKay of outofthebasement blog has posted a tip that thrills me and makes me feel guilty at the same time. Do you buy salad greens in those big plastic containers? Me, too. Do you save the containers? Kay does. Then she uses them to sort the pieces of her work in progress. If you leave the lids off, the containers all stack neatly together, sheltering your tidbits from dust and chaos while taking up little space. Brilliant! I can’t believe I’ve been throwing those containers away. Never again! See Kay’s post.
