Pins are numbered 1-20,
that is more numbers than
counting with your fingers and toes.
The pins come in a cute little slotted container
with pins numbered 1-10 on one side
and pins 11-20 on the other.
When I have a big variety of stripped pieced sets that need to stay in a certain order I write on the scrap the corresponding letter or number so at least I have that as a reference.
but now I can use these pins to keep my sets neatly numbered.
They are not the sharpest pins I have ever used
and be careful to
shut the lid tightly
before turning the container over...
just saying!!
They are just the cutest thing ever
and any quilter on your
Christmas shopping list would
love one in their stocking.

ReplyDeleteI love stuffing my own stocking.
DeleteThere you go again showing us something we didn't know we needed. Your quilt is coming along and looking good. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have been using an extra fine sharpie to number my flower pins for years for less than half of the cost. It's a fantastic way to mark your rows. I actually have some with letters too for those early stages when you need to keep your columns straight too.
ReplyDeleteI finally caught a live view of that Persimmon line. Swoon! It is just as wonderful in person as it is on the web. I need need need me some of that!
That is a fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing!!
DeleteI seriously need a set of those pins. Thanks for sharing and I will be on the outlook for these. Also love the closeups of the Persimmon fabrics.
ReplyDeleteWhere can we get these?
ReplyDeleteCindy, Ask at your local quilt store or do a search online for Marilee's numbered pins and it should give you some resources.
DeleteI LOVE THOSE PINS! They are great for numbering your rows. I bought them a year or two at one of the AQS shows. Best purchase I ever made.
