Cooks use them why not quilters? What's that you ask? A garbage bowl of course! : ) I picked up this cute little bowl and it's perfect for holding all my trimmy, fluffy, thready mess as I work. Even fabric garbage is pretty isn't it?
The bowl is pretty, but that's not garbage! That's a string quilt waiting to happen! (I have a thing for saving scraps. Admitting I have a problem is the first step, right?)
I do the same thing, but I use a large and awkward vase (seriously, it's the size of an umbrella stand!) with clear sides. I thought it looked kind of nice with all the little fabric scraps inside until my sister came over, saw it on the table, and asked in a strangled voice "what is... That?" Oh well, it is still highly functional.
It sure is! I've got a frosted blue plastic cup thing that hangs on the side of my cutting table for scraps, and it certainly helps keep the area cleaner. Actually, I have three of the cups, one holds my scissors and rotary cutters and the third has small scissors, seam rippers, and marking tools.
yes it is! i love those peachy colors!
ReplyDeleteThat's the cutest garbage I've ever seen!

ReplyDeleteMy kinda lady - a Rachel Ray fan AND a quilter. Never thought to use the term in my sewing room!

ReplyDeleteCute bowl. I love those little scrappy pieces, and hate to see the trash get emptied.
ReplyDeleteI've been using one of my pyrex bowls for little scraps. I also use the floor.
