Tool Time Tuesday...CD Case Organizer

Not just for music or movies anymore!

I purchased this cd organizer at Walmart in the clearance rack for $2.00. It measures about 6" square and has 12 double side pages to hold 24 Cds. Music Cds and movie DVDs...not for quilters. I use mine to hold all my templates and applique patterns. You can purchase these in different sizes. They come in larger booklets with pages that have 8 slots per page. They also come in a little duffle bag style where the cd holders are standing up and you can just flip through them. The style all depends on how many templates or patterns you have.

I don't do much applique work, but I just love all the beautiful pieces, like Tisket-A-Tasket blocks, that I have seen on so many wonderful blogs. When you cut out all the template pieces, you can place all the patterns from one design into one sleeve of your cd holder and write a label for what the pattern is or what magazine it came from. One small cd holder case can hold all the BOM patterns for one quilt...keeping them all together and organized.

The smaller holders are also great to take with you on a retreat or to your guild meetings if you are planning on doing a little project. The case is small enough to carry anywhere and protects everything in the zippered case.

Below are a few pictures of my case...I'm thinking I have to upgrade to another one, because I only have 2 empty pages left!

Hope you enjoyed this quick TTT. We're finally back to normal here, I think. Just need to put the suit cases back in the attic. For next week's TTT, I'm digging into my Home Depot bag again...so don't forget to check back in.

Have a great day,
