I love this idea, no lost sticky note numbers :o)

teacherbailey 06-17-2011 04:55 AM

I usually use small plain stickers that I write on....but I love this idea!!!!!!

jojosnana 06-17-2011 05:06 AM

Clever

OMG...what a great idea!! I have been looking for something to put in small quilted top mason jars for a xmas present for my quilt guild and these would be just perfect!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

tntgranny 06-17-2011 05:34 AM

Great idea. I have used the pins with a large flat head (flower, button, etc) and wrote on them with permanent marker. I have some letters and some numbers to keep track of rows and columns when I move them from the design wall to the sewing machine.

Iamquilter 06-17-2011 05:36 AM

It is a cute idea but I do like LoisN does

Stitchit123 06-17-2011 05:38 AM

Heck of an idea

pocoellie 06-17-2011 06:14 AM

Great idea, I'll have to see if I can find something like that. Thanks for the idea.

GramaLaura 06-17-2011 06:15 AM

Very clever and cute!!! :D

silver queen 06-17-2011 06:17 AM

joyce888 06-17-2011 06:20 AM

Love it - Gona copy it!

Kallen 06-17-2011 06:27 AM

Oooooh, I want some. Hope I can find them at my JoAnn's. Looks like you could make quite a few sets for friends from one package.

Val in IN 06-17-2011 06:49 AM

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea!! No more getting stuck with numbered flowerhead pins!

Homemother 06-17-2011 07:27 AM

That's being resourceful!!!

Thanks for sharing this as I had bought the letters and do prefer the numbers. I can't thank you enough.

I have done this with number beads, but these with the little tabs are just perfect!

Jammin' Jane 06-17-2011 09:23 AM

How creative!
Thanks for sharing this tip!

sylviasmom 06-17-2011 09:32 AM

Great idea!! Pins not only stab you, they fall out.

marytoddliz 06-17-2011 09:34 AM

how cute, what a great idea, I was using scraps of paper pinned and glad to have a better idea!

Sewfine 06-17-2011 10:04 AM

Yes, they are. That how I keep up with my rows when I am crocheting. Thanks for sharing.

craftymatt2 06-17-2011 10:20 AM

WOW, What a great idea, Thank you

pab58 06-17-2011 10:22 AM

Now aren't you the clever one!!!! I love this idea!!! I'm sure it was much less expensive because it wasn't labeled "quilter"!!! :D

Qwiltylady 06-17-2011 10:51 AM

I'm going to have to steal that one. I am always stabbing myself on the pins I currently use.

hereca622 06-17-2011 10:54 AM

I love you. This is exactly what I have been searching for. My thought was number beads, but how would I get them to go over the end of the safety pin. These are perfect, because foam stretches a little. Thank you so much for sharing this idea. I have to go to JoAnns this afternoon. I am working on a quilt to take to a retreat and this is just what I need.

sonisew 06-17-2011 10:55 AM

love the idea!

kwiltnutt 06-17-2011 11:27 AM

here is the link: http://www.createforless.com/Sulyn+C...210pc/pid18116

Unfortunately they don't ship to Canada! Too bad, I love the idea.

That's what I've allways used, but think I'll be going to JoAnns tonight after dinner.

Quiltaddict 06-17-2011 12:33 PM

That is a great idea. I'm going to look for those next time I go to the store. Thanks.

qltnutty 06-17-2011 12:50 PM

Such a fantastic ideaa. You are very clever.

craftybear 06-17-2011 12:56 PM

Sandra in Minnesota 06-17-2011 02:05 PM

Wonderful idea. Sure beats pinning sticky notes to each row.

dinlauren 06-17-2011 02:06 PM

Terrific idea!!!! I will be sure to look into those........thanks

mzmama 06-17-2011 04:53 PM

thebossbab 06-17-2011 05:34 PM
