Pins, pins and more pins...

Another small "finish".. I have been wanting to make a small "quilt" on which to display my pins for some time now. Our  Guild is having a UFO Challenge this year, so that's always great motivation for me so I finished this and took it to our meeting on Tuesday night. I was surprised how many pins I actually have, when I got them all together. With pins from Guilds I have taught for, Conferences and various other pins quilting-related, I have more than I realized... At least they are all in one spot now, and I should be able to find my nametag for Meeting Nights!
The fabric I used, although it is hard to see, has thread spools all over it. I quilted crosshatching with a twin needle and bound it. Simple as that. But it serves the purpose. Another one done! Now I'm starting on some Christmas projects.  

Piece,
Linda

Any day spent sewing is a good day!

Hi Linda ... wow ... you really do have quite a collection! I think pins are cool as I know a lot of people who collect them ... I occasionally see customers come in (usually guys) with ball caps encrusted with them ... that's always a treat. I love how you've chosen to display them ... it makes a very lovely piece!

Hugs ... Marie

That's a great idea. I like the one you did before with the Maple Leaf too. I thought then, that I would make one of those. But haven't done it yet!!

Gail, once I got the Maple Leaf all done, I couldn't bear to put my pins through it!! lol
I like this one better- and it's a more appropriate size too.

What a great way to display all your pins! I don't have that many yet, am able to keep mine on my guild name tag. But this is a great idea for when I get more.
