I was looking for a better way to mark my rows. Joann's had alphabet blocks with safety pins but I wanted numbers. I searched in the kiddo crafts department and came up with these. Much cuter and larger than the ones made for quilters.

I could make 100 rows!

If you do, wait until we on the board get ours! Once the world hears about this there is going to be a run on them! :)

This is such a cute idea and there are enough to use for knitting as well.

ETA: I was at Joann's last night picking up a few quilt notions. I will be going back as soon as my kidlet wakes up from his nap!

That smack you heard was my hand hitting my forehead :lol:
Great idea!

mms61371 06-16-2011 11:39 AM

It's amazing what quilters can figure out!

Kyiav10 06-16-2011 11:42 AM

They are adorable. I may try this for the bargello I am working on.

Oh are you clever

Jennifer22206 06-16-2011 11:45 AM

nifty! I know where i'm headed next time I'm near JoAnns

alikat110 06-16-2011 12:04 PM

Super smart

amma 06-16-2011 12:13 PM

Cute and clever too :D:D:D

QuiltE 06-16-2011 12:20 PM

These are a great idea ... I'd want both letters and numbers so I could label columns and rows separately!


MamaBear ... if you find them here in the great white north, please let me know ... if a huge quantity, I'll split them with you, or will buy my own. thanks!

laurlync 06-16-2011 12:30 PM

What a great idea and seeew cute! I just checked online and it looks like Hobby Lobby carries them, too. And just $2.99 for 260 pieces. Guess where I'm going this evening!! LOL

justflyingin 06-16-2011 12:36 PM

Very good idea! I want some! Today I was numbering rows with pins and it got a little hairy after 5...:)

jackied 06-16-2011 12:40 PM

Great, I have looked at several places trying to find the numbers. Never thought of the kids crafts. Will have to pick up a bag next time I am at Jo Anns (which won't be long, ha ha)

quilt addict 06-16-2011 12:45 PM

Ditto, ditto. Great idea. Next time I stop I will be getting some. Great guilting buddy gift idea also. Start my Christmas shopping!

mtnative 06-16-2011 12:54 PM

what a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to add that to my must have list

LoisN 06-16-2011 02:28 PM

Great idea. I just use little pieces of paper with numbers on them and pin them to the first block. Your way is much cuter.

dove 06-16-2011 02:47 PM

cute!...love that idea!
