I get the 12x12 scrapbook paper containers from Hobby Lobby for my 10”-12” squares. They are $2.99/each at our store.
G’day, Amy. Various 12” containers are available for storage of card stock. They can easily be used for storing 10” squares. 👋🏻 from 🇦🇺🇦🇺
I love your 'moxie'! My almost semi organized sew room is a mess again. My daughter finally hung my Quilt of Valor presented to me over 10yrs ago over my cutting table!!! Big thank you to the person who donated it!!! It's beautiful and huge. I had to clear projects and move cabinets, sewing machine, basically everything to get to the wall but it was so worth it. Makes my heart burst with pride looking at it.
My daughter has been fixing our favorite winter foods this week. "Cheater" chili over rice, grilled cheese and tomato soup, curry porkchops with apples. I'm full, dumb and happy! Love and Peace to all of you ❤❤❤
That sounds amazing! Thank you for your service and I’m so happy that you get so see the quilt of love everyday!!!
I love the resulting sounds that came from you snapping the fabric to find the grain! Reminds me of the popping sounds I used to make with my lips to get my young daughter to giggle. 😄
Thank you! 😊. What a great association. ♥️♥️♥️
I also got the white tool box for my sewing / quilting room. Only problem it is still in the garage wating for someone to finish securing the wheels. 😂 Mary
For Storage containers, Michael’s has their Simple Tisy brand of short and tall 12 x 12 containers on clearance for a great price.
There are bins very similar to the one you showed. Michael's sells them and they're on sale right now. I believe they're 12" square. I have several, use them for individual projects, and love them. The lids lock and they stack well.
The place/thing that stalls my quilt finishing is making and attaching the label 🤷♀️😳 Thanks for the information 👏👏🇬🇧
My cold weather comfort food is chili and saltines. Add a hotdog and done.
I would check into scrapbooking boxes. Those are a bit bigger than 10 inches square. Usually they are about 12.5-13 to fit 12 inch paper.
Thanks for the video. You have been busy!
Thr grain issue on scraps and fabric has always been an issue for us. Thank you for taking the time to address this basic yet important issue.
Glad it was helpful!
Fun and informative video, as always! My favorite winter soup is vegetable beef made with a little bit of everything plus leftovers from the frig - just like Momma did. No recipe and no two pots are alike. Some fresh oatmeal bread warm from the breadmaker accompanies nicely. I totally get the “confidence” thing. I am similar. Gather the facts and resources and knowledge, forge ahead, and if I need to adjust or pivot I have every confidence I can. I am that way about everything. But with quilting if I can’t or don’t want to forge ahead I can recycle that “overhead.” Love your Husky and your clapper and your bright cheery confident attitude.
Thank you so much!!😊
We're here in brrr cold OKC (east side), so I decided to keep warm, I would bake. Made some awesome, get this, carrot/zucchini/apple muffins with walnuts and raisins. Yum! Then, I put some chicken in the Dutch oven and made chicken & dumplings. Anything to keep the oven going and house warm. That, of course, was between sewing 😅. Stay warm and cozy Ami!
Good stuff!
We love chicken and dumplings or meatloaf during the too cold to go out weather. Love your videos.
Hi Amy, this comment isn't from this video but another where you talked about LoLo body care products. I ordered a sampler set of different scents and absolutely love them. I will order more. Thanks for that recommendation.
Thanks for sharing!! I’m glad you love them. I love them and use them up and then forget about them for a while and get to discover them all again.
I love your gift from Gina! It makes me giggle just thinking about it! When I think of cold weather comfort food, I always think about the chicken and dumplings my grandma made! She taught me nearly everything I know about cooking, quilting, sewing and crocheting! ❤😊
Love that!
I love to make Guinness Irish Stew or Cheesy Loaded Potato Stew during our Michigan blizzards. Tonight we had grilled cheese and tomato bisque. Right now it’s horribly cold.
I’m excited I’m getting new sewing desk, space, and automation for my tin Lizzie 18 on a pinnacle frame.
That sounds awesome. Your new space is going to be amazing!
Hello Beautiful! I cut four times the parts I needed for one of the Indigo Way parts! I guess I’ll get a bonus quilt going. Or I may end up with an extra border.
See. Creative Moxie! It’s the park of a new idea! You are awesome!!!
When you said grilled cheese and vegatable soup I said, "YUM!!!" My go-to cold weather meal is Big Ditch Chili and cornbread. When I was in college (in the 70s), I was the kitchen manager for a local restaurant, I invented the recipe. My family ❤❤❤❤❤ it and the cornbread isn't bad either. 😋 🎶💐💖
Sounds great!
My favorite cold weather meal is Thick beef stew with loads of winter veggies added in. I'm making that in the morning with my crock pot. We have moved into our house and we've been to Ikea. Tomorrow the true fun begins! We have built four of the five units I bought, one more to go and then the fabric gets sorted and put away. I may be able to start sewing again soon!
Hooray!!!
Child is my go to comfort food for food weather. I also make it in the summer, for camping, basically whenever I want a big pot of yum!
Gina is a real generous person, I love that clapper! I ordered one for my sister and she, too, is going to love it.
♥️♥️♥️
Hi Amy, love your gift from Gina 😂. My go to cold weather comfort food is Grandma’s Mac and Cheese. I am in Northern Canada ( way North) and it’s pretty darn cold here too. We have had 2 weeks of extreme cold where temps have not gone above -40 degrees Celsius which is same in Fahrenheit. That’s colder than normal for us. More indoor quilting/sewing time 😊. Hope you warm up soon.
Oh wow! 🥶🥶🥶 Mac and cheese sounds awesome
Love the new Husky cabinet. I purchased 3 Husky adjustable work benches to use as sewing desks. They have a crank to raise and lower the top and sturdy metal base on locking g wheels. They come in several lengths from 46-72 inches. I got mine on a black Friday sale for a steal. My grown son snagged one of the 72 inch ones to put in his room for his computers (he has several monitors). So I ended up with only 2. As for 10inch square storage ideas... if you order a couple of layer cakes from MSQC and they send them in a box that's just slightly bigger, you can cover the box with contact paper or wrapping paper or even fabric to make storage box--downside is it's not transparent.
Casey uses the workbench as his work desk too (3 monitors) and I am sorely tempted to great idea about the box upcycling.
Well here in Winnipeg it was a mere -40C today so I was glad to enjoy a steaming bowl of creamy cabbage soup that I made yesterday. It is delicious. The defining factor is a little dill pickle juice. All set to do my cutting and kitting project tomorrow.! Thanks again for the inspiration!
Sounds great! Not the -40 part 😆🥶 but everything else!
Thank you Amy for sharing the info about the storage containers. I was looking at the new ones from target online, and I'm thankful you shared they are not 10 inch squared. Ive found solutions for my other precut sizes for now, but I'm still on the hunt for those 10 inch sqaures.
Speaking of scraps, have you ever done a scrap tape quilt? I've been working on one with my small scraps. I use calculator tape and sew the scraps to it. There are lots of versions on TH-cam. 😊
You are so welcome! I have not done a scrap tape project yet but I think I might this summer.
For breakfast, I like steel cut oatmeal with fruit. I will put the oatmeal on, and then chop an apple or pear and stew it n butter and a little brown sugar. For apples, I add cinnamon and walnuts or pecans. For pears, I add ginger and almonds. Since the oatmeal cooks for about 25 minutes in a separate pan, and allows the fruit to get nice and soft. I throw everything together allowing the natural sweetness of the fruit to flavor the oatmeal, and I use way less sugar this way. Always warms me up on a cold day.
That sounds delightful. I love steel cut oats but my family wants that instant stuff that taste like paste to me.
@@amydement. that’s because they are weirdos!😜
You know it!!!😆
Michaels has the 12" x 12" Scrapbook Case by Simply Tidy™ on sale right now for $3.99 It's almost 3"high. I know it doesn't hold as much as the ones you have but the layer cakes fit in there well and I can pretty much get a queen size quilt pieces in it while I am working on it. Sometimes I have to use a second one for a project but not usually. I didn't look at all of the sizes that Michaels has but it looked like there might be other containers that are similar. I use these for all of my precuts.
♥️😀 thanks
The totes for 12x12 scrapbook paper should work for 10x10 blocks; yes there will extra room, but your blocks won't curl up in corners.
Love your new Husky tool chest!
I love pierogies (sauerkraut, potato and cheese are my favs) with sausage and fried onions. Or golumpkies!
Ok pierogue I know golumpkie is a new on for me I’ll have to look it up! Thanks so much.
@@amydement. Polish styffed cabbage rolls. So delicious!!
Fave cold-weather cozy meal: it's a 3-way tie between a chili, homemade beef-vegetable soup, and a giant (make that GIANT) vat of cheesy scalloped potatoes!
Love it!
Leek Soup with blue cheese sprinkled on top, with a slice of home made sourdough bread!
I’m making progress! I finished a tee shirt quilt and started a “scrap buster” - oooh it’s coming so nice! Thanks for the encouragement!
Wonderful! Those tee quilts can be a bear to work with as they get big and heavy. That is awesome!
I made chili today. Its been rainy and a little chilly here in Florida. The weather has been so strange. I will tkae the rain over snow and the negative temperatures that many are experiencing
Hope you enjoy. 😊
Cold weather meals, the classic tomato soup and a grilled cheese Sammy. For dinner: stroganoff, stews and pot roast with red wine.
Soup for sure is a a great cold weather food. My husband is a fantastic soup chef. My favorite of late is Tom Kha (a Thai coconut curry, we make ours with shrimp). He has been making his own seafood stock from crab leg shells and it is amazing. Tom Kha is also really good with chicken. As you know from my comment yesterday, I am still searching for a good 10” square storage solution. I think I may just going to stack them, sorted by color in a drawer and be done with it. I don’t really like the scrapbook paper holders. We’ll see how the drawer(s?) works longer term as the quantity of 10” squares grows.
That sounds amazing. I think the stacks are a great solution.
home made beef stew with bread fresh from the oven, yum. Stay warm and safe, the temps this week are no joke, and it looks like texas is going to get an extra slice of sleet and freezing rain, not fun. Keeping y'all in my heart.
My favorite cold weather cozy food is beef stew with everything in it.
My whole room is Husky! Two 72" back to back for cutting and basting. Three 52" for machines and overlooked. Found a similar look desk for the computer. Oh, and one very tired but much loved Levi's Jean display table. It was perfect for cutting as I'm 5 foot short!. I love my studio. Inherited an old home ec sewing table from a neighbor who passed away suddenly. Oh, two drawer units.. they literally lit up and sang in home depot😅.
Sounds awesome!
My first idea for "I need a container of a specific size" would be to go to the 3D printed gridfinity system... But you need a 3D printer that has a base of over 25 cm available to you for a container that would fit 10" squares. And the big ones take skill to print neatly, not to mention a lot of time and filament. But you could, in theory, have a bigger bin with a baseplate in it, and then fit containers for 10", 5", etc. squares onto those. Most Gridfinity containers aren't hugely tall (unless you make them that way), but you could stack several on top of each other for sorting by color or project.
Interesting!!!
I finally got my dad’s quilt on the long arm after I had to add 24 inches to the backing. Opps that’s what I get for piecing a quilt without a pattern.
That’s amazing! I knew you’d get it done. Congrats and congrats on the creative solution to the backing.
Your hubby sounds amazing! I love it when my dad makes borscht in winter. Otherwise it's just warm comfort food, pasta, pizza, pancakes, etc
He really is! Oooh pancakes 🥞
Cold weather meal, a really thick homemade chili or a great bowl of hot and sour soup, can you tell we love spicy food
We are looking at standing desks for my modern machine to sit on! Excited!!! Enjoy your organization cart!!!! Can’t wait to see an updated reveal of your studio :). Thanks Amy
That is awesome!
Minestrone!! You will be colder than me in the RGV but I’m sewing all week!! Stay warm! Love the clapper! 😂
I use scrapbook paper boxes for storage and get them at Michael’s. They’re bigger than 10”x10” but great if you don’t mind that. I made tomato soup and grilled cheese for supper last night. I’d make it again tonight because it sounds good but I don’t have any tomato soup left!
I’m am cracking up from that message on the clapper!
😆♥️ me too
I use the "Sterilite Modular Latch Box, Titanium" storage containers from Walmart. My only gripe is that they don't fit a 12" block, but they do fit 10" squares. I like that the lids latch tightly but also come completely off, and they stack securely. The 6.2 Qt and 12.7 Qt use the same size lid, just the depth of the box is different. I have so many now I can't buy anything else! 😂
I’ll check those out! Thanks.
I might be goofy but I love hot dogs and chili when its cold. Good progress. Glad you didn’t have to send your long arm out. Mine cost me almost $600 to repair!
PS of course the warranty was up two weeks before it happened lol
Karma ! We all know what she is!!
Ugh. I’m glad too! Thanks so much.
Butternut squash and sweet potato soup is my favorite cold weather meal ❤
So good!
A big pot of chili is my favorite cold weather food. Homemade vegetable soup with Mexican cornbread is another one we like. Today I made chicken and dumplings that sure hit the spot.
So good!
Hi Amy! Nice to see you. If I had roasted a turkey for Thanksgiving, I would have made a wonderful broth out of the, dare I say it? Carcass. Oh my. The wonderful smell on the stove. Oh sorry, I digress. Turkey soup with onion, celery, carrots, noodles and left over turkey of course. Frozen and saved for cold winter days. But since I didn't cook a turkey, I opened a can of split pea soup. Pretty tasty. I miss my mother. She made a wonderful turkey soup. Her name was Mabel.
Sounds wonderful and I love that name - Mabel. Such a traditional name ♥️
My favorite cold weather meal is beef stew I make in the pressure cooker. It was one of my mom’s recipes and I feel the love from it!
Sounds great!
Fresh homemade bread with a yummy beef stew or chicken curry soup. Hmmmmmm delicious
So good
Pasta with any sauce or even just butter! Tonight, I had six frozen shrimp, a sauté diced onion, and steamed wax beans on linguini; delicious!
Butter noodles are my comfort food. I eat them when I feel nostalgic or melancholy. Yum.
10" squares go in paper storage boxes in the scrapbook isle... thats what i use
♥️
When I know cold weather is coming, I like to make 15 bean soup or gumbo, or both. Then I don't have to cook again for several days.
Sounds great!
I think that making a test block helps to define the process. That’s where you can find the shortcuts.
That’s a great point!
Well now I'm going to have to do that, because I always mess up along the way! Thanks for that!
I use artbin containers from Michael's. If I remember correctly, they will fit a 12" square and they have a handle.
♥️♥️♥️ thanks
Glad to hear your longarm problem turned out to be a simple fix. Been there, done that! My favorite cold weather cozy meal is a large bowl of chili topped with shredded cheddar cheese. Yum!
😍♥️ thanks!
Warm cozy meal for me is Hamburger Stroganoff with mashed potatoes and corn, with fresh out of the oven apple pie!
Mmmm 😋
I'm in Western NY. You don't know cold! We survive on chili, chicken soup, and homemade pizza! I am now going to be on a search for cinnamon jolly ranchers 😅
You are right! And I do NOT want to know cold!🥶 😆😆😆 Gina said to try Walmart or online for the jolly ranchers - I didn’t look but I’ll try and add a link in the description box.
Home style chicken noodle soup, made it today here in San Antonio. cooked chicken in crockpot with homemade bone broth and added veggies and amish egg noodles. good for a very cold day meal. Love the clapper engraving, hilarious.
Sounds great! 😆♥️
We had tomato soup and grilled cheese for dinner. My favorite
My favorite cold weather meal, and coming from New England we know cold weather, is beef stew.
Beef stew with cornbread! Yum!
I love any kind of soup as comfort food during cold weather. Sausage potato soup is going to be on the menu here this week. It’s really cold in Ohio and not expected to warm up for awhile! I also am in the mood for lasagna.
Sounds great!
Tomorrow is going to be a pot of chili day.
My 10 in. squares are stored in the 3 layer containers( lock together) walmart and dollar general sell near christmas with cardboard inserts i take out. There about 10 by 12 or 14, depending upon which store i got it in. I think they were sold for ornaments. I can store about 6 layer cakes in them in each layer. They even have a handle on top to carry. Could be used for projects too.
That’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing!!!
I use 12in by 12in scrapbooking paper storage
It sure is cold! I’m here in Texas with you, so I feel your cold pains! We went to Costco yesterday and got some nice looking roasts to make some pot roast tomorrow. It will definitely warm the soul on that cold day!
Sounds great!
I have the same storage containers from Target. They were even on sale when I got them.
Great deal! I wish they were still available!
Thank you. I look forward to your blog. It improves my day
So nice of you. Thank you 😊
Spicy chili is my comfort food
Oh yum. Though I’m a spicy wuss. Since having my gallbladder out (which should affect nothing but…) I just can’t handle spicy. ♥️
How about Homemade Chocolate Chili with corny cornbread…or maybe Ribilito, an italian vegetable and cannellini bean soup with crusty bread in the soup for thickener drizzled with lemon olive oil. Now back to cutting up those scraps or maybe sandwiching at least 3 of my tops and quilting a couple….but then there is all that Kaffe ready to piece.
♥️😊
My favorite meal is my home made chili added to my home made Mac & cheese and baked… it’s so good. I have been wanted to ask ya where did you get the light for on Anna’s desk?
That sounds amazing. Which light - the floor light- the bar type one? If that one it’s from daylight company and I just searched and waited until I found a killer sale.
I always plan on prepping my b8 ding early in the process…never happens! I just made a scrappy binding for my current project. I just discovered that an almost-empty roll of 2” painters’ tape (happened be on my sewing table at the time) makes a perfect solution for storing the binding. I use a double-pronged pin to secure at the end.
Gina…👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 😂🤣😂
Tomato(Campbell’s) soup with a little spicy salsa and basil. buy the basil paste in a tube in my produce section. It’s amazing! Accompanied by a grilled old cheddar (Vermont, if I have it) & green onion grilled cheese sandwich on 12-grain bakery bread for me, please! Crispy bacon is a good addition. Yum! Yes, I’m very particular about my tomato soup and grilled cheese! 😁 II’m definitely going to have that today!
OR…another favourite is homemade butternut squash and pear soup (or apple, depending what I have) with ginger paste (also in tubes in produce) added when serving. I bake my butternut squash (whole-no cutting piercing) in my Ninja Foodi. The skin just peals off, and seeds scooped. No peeling and chopping that hard squash. Then I make the soup in my Foodi.
Looking forward to the next installment of the QAL-today- I hope, since it’s nowTuesday.
Thank you, Amy, and Stay well!
Muskoka ON 🇨🇦
Your soups sound fantastic! Wednesdays on the QAL video sorry one more day 😊♥️
Get to see this early can’t sleep. Love your new blocks. And can’t wait to see you use the red and white half squares.Just spent a few hours sewing scraps together to make yardage, ended up with 3 1/2 yards of fabric which is 24 inches wide. It’s really colourful and will be great for totes etc, and I feel good that I’ve not wasted them. My comfort meal is stew and dumplings, yummy .keep safe and busy.❤❤
😊♥️♥️
Soup and cornbread
I ♥️ cornbread!
Tomato soup and grilled cheese. Windchill of -50 expected overnight up here in Alberta.
Oh my that sounds good and too cold 🥶 😆
Ahhh sew funny. That was awesome Gina. My comfy food for cold weather is (lunch) chicken corn chowder soup and (dinner) tomato and rice soup with grilled ham and cheese sandwiches
Right?!😆
I love any homemade soup, but especially a tomato based vegetable soup with cheddar biscuits. My second favorite is broccoli cheddar soup. Your new cabinet is awesome. I'd like one for an ironing station like on Simply Sewing.
Sounds great! Cheddar biscuits yum!!!
It was frigid here in Missouri, yesterday, and my husband made Chicken and Dumplings. Perfect for cold weather! 😋
CREATIVE MOXY...favorite new term !!!!😊😊😊😊😊
😊 thank you
Chicken soup tomorrow and chili by Wednesday. Lots of bread and biscuits.
Hi Amy. You are such a delight to listen to.
Oh thank you! 😊
Chili with Cornbread, Not-Very-Zesty Chicken Soup (my own variation of Zesty Chicken Soup - I don't like spicy or garlic) and Butternut Squash Soup and Focaccia Bread
Sounds great! Mmm focaccia!
Chicken and dumplins!
I use scrapbooking boxes from Michael's... they fit a 12.5 and down square, stack nicely and can be gotten on Sale
Cosy cold food. Pretty much any homemade soup. 9 out of 10 times I’ll make taco soup. It’s the bomb. Makes a huge crockpot full and it freezes really nice. But then of course there is either banana bread or egg nog bread for the sweet treat. Love your fabric weight 😉😂😂
♥️
I get my containers at Michaels.
Grilled cheese with tomato soup!
Chili and cornbread.
My husband made a big pot of Italian Wedding Soup today it was perfect for our cold winter day. We will be freezing about 10 containers to enjoy later. I made a big pan of lasagna with my homemade pasta sauce a couple of days ago. A lot of that is also in the freezer, some things can’t be made in small amounts (it’s just the 2 of us).
You’re so right. Something’s MUST be made for a crowd. Your meals sound wonderful!
New subscriber to your channel. I saw the box you sent to Handmade By Ying with Donna. Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with! I’m making beef stew tomorrow. Our go-to cold weather meal!
Welcome!! It’s going to be fun. Of course Donna is leaving me in the dust she’s so speedy!
Stew and biscuits! I make the stew in my slow cooker and it lasts my hubby and I for 3 meals. It’s my go to winter meal.
Long arms are so finicky, aren’t they? Glad you found your problem
Homemade chili with cheddar cheese…. Yummy!
So good!
Omelets and cornbread!
My quilts don't get stalled at binding, but of piecing the backing together. It's my least favorite part of quilting which sounds silly, but that's me 😉.
Oh friend! It’s my least favorite part too!
Im finally moving into my new studio. Was going to do it at the first of the year, but the flu had other plans for me. I'm slowly moving things from this room or that room this closet or that closet to get it togethe, bu I'm stil trying to recover my energ, so like I said, I'm slowly getting it done. The process has made the house look a bit disheveled, so I'm trying not to get overwhelmed by the chaos and keep myself motivated since it will eventually be done and so worth it. As the polish say, hold your thumbs for me.
Oh I’m so sorry you were ill. Energy is long to recover. I’ve never heard that expression but I like it. I know most cultures have a version of cross your fingers I presume that’s the Polish. I like it!!!
Homemade potato soup! Yummm!
So good!
Split pea soup and cornbread. 😋
Casey loves split pea soup! ♥️
