Ha! I bought a box of Magic Pins. I got the ones that said they were for quilting, they had several different options in the display rake. On first try, I bent one. Oops need something a bit more robust. But then, when I was pinning on little labels for the blocks as to their row and position, I really like how easily those pins pierced the fabric and paper. So, I will be using them for that purpose and also when I have fine fabric to pin together. Oh, no, never can have too many different styles of pins!
If you get a chance, try the other size. They are a bit shorter and a bit heavier.

I like to watch the unboxing videos on youtube of what other quilters purchase from quilt shops. Most of the time I like or need everything they do My last purchase was this morning online for a thick face plate for my Juki 2010. It was on sale and I never find them on sale. Yesterday it was zippers on a roll and Pellon SF101. I'm done shopping for awhile.
This is an interesting thread. My fear is, I might find something else I "need"!
My last purchase was for a couple of Trim Locks from Sew Be It. Years ago, I got some from the original maker; they were called Dragon Skins. You might know the first product they made, the Slide Lock Rulers. Anyhow - designer stopped making them, no idea why. Eventually, Fallon & her husband bought the rights for the Slide Locks. The Trim Locks have been redesigned a bit from the old style, but they work great. I highly recommend them for sliver trimming. I do like Bloc Loc for Flying Geese, but like these better for HST's.

Ordered a kid from shabby fabrics. It’s just a monthly line that they’re running called tea for two. I will make it and send one to my friend and hang onto one. Then we can have tea together.!
I am currently in Pennsylvania. Visiting my sister. But where she lives there are no quilt shops. It has not worked out for us to travel anywhere to hit any. Someday I will come back and I will make it to Lancaster and up to Intercourse!!!

P and J, my crinoline order has arrived, according to my email. Here is the backside and front of my class project, almost finished. I want to make an embellished quilt, although I never have! Still in planning stages, but want to use previous appliqued quilt as a guide.
