I got one or two at my LQS some years ago. I don't know if they still carry them.

I have a small collection of pins. Just got a Featherweight pin and will probably look for more quilt related.

I have many quilt pins that I have collected over the years...mostly going to shows. I have a mini-quilt that I have many of them attached to.

If I were you I would put them on a wall hanging or on a pillow for display.

I never heard of them either. How cute! I would imagine that the pins are displayed like/similar to Disney pins? So thick padded foam usually black, that the pins are pushed into... maybe like a shadow box?

How cute! Of course I had to go here http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trk...All-Categories some neat ones in EBay. I was so tempted cause they are wicked cute, love the baltimore one, but have to refrain. :(

I collect quilt pins as well as other types. Inexpensive way to remember a place you've been. Quilt stores used to have their own pin and also quilt shows, not so much anymore. I attended 12 years of quilt shows in Houston when I lived there and have the quilt show pin from all but one. They made a limited number each year and I got there too late one year. I display the pins on wallhangings.

There must at least thirty in a keepsake box in a dresser drawer, some were bought at special quilt shows, some at shops, at one time they were all pinned to a banner-type wall hanging, now they are resting. Wonder what my daughters will do with them? piecefuly, the old one

Yes, I have a few pins. They need to be secured on a wall hanging and they are quilt worthy souvenirs. Hmm, maybe displayed within an "attic window". :D
