Oh they are delightful. I have not been able to buy small pins in Tzaneen, so could not make them for a friend for Christmas, so landed up giving her the one i had bought. Will be keeping my eyes open for small pins in future.
I am sure, no correction, i know they will be very happy with your wonderful gift and cherish it for years to come.

I bought some Iris Thin pins yesterday. They only had two boxes and I wanted to whip up a dozen before xmas to hand out to the family. Would "silk" pins do as good as the Iris? They are size 20 and I think the silk pins, dritz, were like a size 21. I'm hoping to do some today after I finish piecing a top.

I buy the fine pins (for silk?) -- regular length. I think notions are 2-for-1 today at Joanns.
It helps to use a pencil eraser to push the pins in. Otherwise my hands would be bloody for now.
Any hints on making the bows for the top? My bow-making skills leave a lot to be desired.
