We received this funny email and photo from Paula Lidyoff in response to our Pins Post from a few weeks ago. FUNNY!!!
Considering your recent post about sewing over pins, I thought you'd appreciate this picture from one of my quilting buddies. Can you believe it? True - she using those huge pins we all USED TO use. I have been using the kind you like for a long time - Alex taught me how at Asilomar when I took her 'stars' class. Once you get used to using those wonderful fine pins, everything else feels like an enormous railroad spike. Not every quilt shop carries them, so when I see them, I'll oftentimes just get a fresh pack. After all, they do bend, etc. a little more often than the railroad spikes (hahaha). Anyway, get a good laugh with this.
Her caption read:
"Just stitched through the head of a yellow pin! Omg. Needle didn't break .... but I need a pair of pliers to disconnect things. Another first! Haha."
Thanks for the laugh Paula!!!
Who remembers these pins!!?!?! Do you still use them???
