Michellesews Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 My collection of design boards from Circle Lord is growing and growing and I would be sooo interested in knowing how others store theirs for easy access to them. Thanks in advance for any advice. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankiequilter Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 There have been a couple of discussions about storing the Circle Lord boards. I posted a picture of my storage solution, and Linnea posted hers. You can also search for other discussions, but here is the post with my picture. This works for me. Georgene has a very nice storage box, maybe she will jump in here and post a picture. http://www.apqs.com/quiltboard/viewthread.php?tid=25905&page=1#pid325730 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott2611 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I love the CL storage unit too. The dividers were built in when the unit was made. Here's a link to the original discussion about the CL filing system with pictures that shows it in more detail, as well as who to contact for a pattern.\\ http://www.apqs.com/quiltboard/viewthread.php?tid=17430 Here is the link to Georgene's storage unit if I did this correctly. I love her unit and would love to have one for my studio someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanbrug Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I took Linnea's great idea and bought heavy metric shelving on wheels and DH cut plexiglass and drilled holes in top and bottom for the vertical shelves and attached them to top and bottom of shelving with zip ties that way the boards will slide in and out and stay separated. The boards stand up on their sides. I got my shelving from where my DH works but they have it at Lowes. Still haven't figured out how to post pics might work on that tonight if you need a picture.

Sandra Darlington Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Under my longarm frame I have the plastic cabintes with the drawers. I have them lined up side by side and back to back. I keep my long boards on top. The down side is that I have to move the ones on top of the stack to access the ones near the bottom. Unfortunately, I don't have much storage space, so I have to improvise. This does work for me, but really not a great set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michellesews Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Thanks everyone for your ideas. When my husband returns from Afghanistan, he is going to build me the box on casters...when I say I have a lot of boards, I mean a LOT...previously they were standing on end at the end of a cabinet up against a wall, but worry about them warping. I think storing them on their sides would be safer. I will post a pic when it is done. Thanks again! Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njquiltergirl Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I am not too fancy about it, though the other storage thing look great. I lean my big boards up against the wall and the round templates go in a drawer. The CL thing itself sits under my machine on the floor. Always ready for action! Michael told me the will not warp (they are so good!) but to lean them with the cut out designs facing the wall so as we lay them back down on the table, they flatten out and connect as they should. Hope I got that right..... BTW: I have seen a big dish drain rack used well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
