I spent much of the weekend working on a new quilt. I took a picture to post but it didn't turn out well. Maybe tomorrow. I thought I'd show you my new pins. I have been frustrated by my old pins over the past few months. This may seem like a bizarre thing to be frustrated with, but if you've ever sewn, you may know what I'm talking about. My pins in the past were your average, cheap, plastic headed things. They bent like crazy, didn't always go into the fabric smoothly and the tops kept coming off. I finally bought some glass headed pins. They are long and thin and glide into the fabric like magic. I just love them!

sooo cute, good job!
Beth,
Definitely not bizarre! Having good tools makes getting things done much easier AND more fun too. I am picky about my pins too. I like the really thin ones.
