While making a bargello quilt they came in handy keeping the rows in order. I made 8 sets of these pins and have given a few out as I doubt I'll ever need 8 sets. Got the beads and extra pins at WalMart for about an 8th the price they wanted for the flower pins.
I really like this idea. Do it once and you have the pins "forever" to use on future projects. Will have to check out our Walmart. Thanks for the info.
