    I get them from shows and from quilt stores. I am going to make an attic windows small quilt and pin them in the windows. One more thing to put on my list to do.

    I love those charms!!!! What a great way to mark your snips, or other items at guild sewing fests.

    Thank you for this link! I love quilt pins. I have a couple that my sister gave me--and I think they would be great gifts, too. :D

    I've got several, I just love them, but I wear them on my clothes! I do like the idea of making a wallhanging & pinning them to it for showing! :) I've gotten mine as gifts & from suppliers of sewing/quilting supplies. The Website someone posted is great & I may have to add to my current collection!

    Enjoy!

    I collect them....wear them on blouses, coats, wraps, etc
    I get them from different places, Choltides has them along with other quilting catalogs.

    I really enjoy them and gave one to a lady who was very kind to my husband and she does hand quilting.

    Hope you find them and enjoy them. You can also fill a picture frame with a fabric cardboard cover and stick them in there for display.

    I belong to 3 guilds and my quilt pins are distributed among them
    Also, I bought a pin necklace from Paper Pieces that will hold a lot of them

    [quote=Jennifer22206]that's such a cute idea. I don't belong to a guild (went to one meeting and was told I was "too young" to take quilting seriously) so I don't have any from there.

    How dare they? No one is 'too young' to take quilting seriously!

    I love it! I want to get a pin for each quilt I make, if possible. Luckily I'm not very fast so it shouldn't involve to much coin :!:
