Quilt souvenir pins...do you collect?
Do any of you collect quilt pins? I love to find them at shows, quilt stores, stash dashes, etc. I have also been gifted some nice quilt pins and charms. I want to do something special with them, but something that also allows space for more collecting. And then, how to support the weight of all of them? Do I keep those pinch clips on the back? If I used a corked background I could just stick them in and store the backs somewhere else. I also have some brass, 6-inch bell pull hardware. Maybe I could make a long slender quilted or unquilted fabric piece to fit. The heavy, bottom, second brass piece would keep the 6-inch strip from twisting and warping. Then I poked around Pinterest for ideas. Nancy Zieman suggested a bag. I like the simplicity of the banners. Doing a covered cork background in an antique mirror or picture frame is also a good idea. Hey! Finally a good thing to do with plastic canvas! Another banner... Another mirror frame... A la...
