If your sewing room feels more like a museum than a functional work space, consider getting a keepsake box. We share tips for how to select a box, what types of things to put in it, and how to clear your work space from unused (but still loved) objects.

Twin sisters in the quilting community have stepped up to help Ukrainian refugees who are fleeing to Poland. Rachel Woodard owns Quilted Twins in Dade City, Florida, with her sister Becky Petersen, who lives in Poland doing missionary work with her husband. Through the quilt store and generosity of fellow quilters, Rachel and Becky have been able to raise tens of thousands of dollars to go toward refugees.

Help the store collect money here.
