I have my favourites and now that is all I buy. I try to buy the very best and I’ve been taken a time or two by the cheaper quality. Those didn’t last long in the room. They tarnished very quickly and as soon as that happens I toss them.
I have flower head pins



These pins are now used mostly for marking rows ~~ hence the number on one of them ~~ or for holding things up on the flannel wall.

These two types of pins I very rarely use for quilting. My favourite for quilting is a straight thin pin. It glides into the fabric and doesn’t bunch it up.

Because everything today is about pins, I thought I would give you a free pattern to make a pin cushion either for yourself or for a friend. I saw this idea over on Pinterest but no instructions on how to do it. Tomorrow, the pattern will be here along with the instructions. Easy little one to make.
I'm in deeeeeep muck!
To my friend......prairie girl.....whom I neglected to mention yesterday as one of my December birthdays, my deepest, sincerest, heart felt apologies. I don't know how I forgot your birthday.
Okay, ya think that got me out of mess I got myself in?
Seriously Irene, how could I forget. Happy Birthday well in advance cause ya know I could forget again.
