LOL! :lol: Here I thought I was the only one who regularly sticks herself with quilting pins. Those flower headed ones just about kill me every time.

I would do a BQ or similar with them.

Now... just need to think up some creative uses for them!
I don't have all the fabrics, just the safety pin one which I can't recall where I bought it. But as mentioned, the fabrics are still widely available. I really like wuv2quilt’s idea of a bow tuck out of these fabrics. There are really cute thread spool and button prints in the collection too. I was also thinking of a sewing machine cover, and a padded case for my acrylic extension table. You’ve mentioned curtains and valances and wow that would be cool if you have a dedicated crafting room!
