Quilt-along 2021

lol I still take pictures of my layouts first to see if I need to change the order…then I pin each row …the numbers go up to 20 so if I need more, I combine them…they are actually handy in other sewing projects as well…I use them to put together patterns in the right order on things like bags with multiple parts…I think they were invented by someone who, like me, gets a bit scatterbrained…lol

OMG, I’ve never heard of these, that would make life so much easier. No matter how much I lay things out in order, there is always at least one that goes wrong!

I have some happy mail going out to you…I stick in a set for you to try!

Now that it’s been received I can share my paper pieced wall hanging with my fellow quilty people!

It’s a representation of @marionberries’s house for the Make a Friend Swap.

My full project post is here.

And my new bestie @Whistlefish received a table runner and a little pincushion from leftovers in the mini make a friend swap.

Her pick of blue and gray was perfect as I love those colors too and have just a bit of navy and gray to choose from (a bit is so not true). I was able to practice making 8 HST and those little quarter square ones too. With leftovers for a pincushions

I’ve never heard of numbered pins either!

I’ve used Alphabitties but they don’t attach to your fabric and I lose them.

I usually use scraps of paper and pins.

lol I have something I want to send out to you when it gets here…I’ll include a set…seriously, I am addicted to buying supplies in bulk…

@Lynx…I have done that as well…whatever it takes to get it done! Plus, I have so many wips that I need multiples…I am sure when I get done, I will have a huge bin of pins as well…I just buy more…

I was going to edit my post to say I wasn’t asking you to send me some, just commenting, but you posted before I could modify it.

You’re such a sweetie!
