    Talking Pins, lots of pins

    So while tiding up my sewing area, discovered lots of straight pins in various areas. So the question: Do you have lots of pins? Pins of varying lengths? Pins with different heads? White tops, "crystal" tops. simulated pearls, flat heads, flower heads? I have to say yes but not saying what I'm saying yes to...lol

    I have the flat flower head pins, stronger glass head pins and I bought the cute little acrylic diamond full of metallic head pins just because they were so pretty.

    Numbered pins with directional arrows, silk pins, flat head pins, flower head pins, pearl hat pins, glass head pins, silicone head pins—got them all. Sometimes, if I talk myself out of fabric or books, I get pins.

    Not me, I have a magnetic holder with multi colored “good” pins (can’t remember the exact type) for piecing and then a pin cushion of flower head pins at my LA machine to attach the backing to leaders.
