I received a surprise package in the mail this week. Leiya's high school best friend's mother and grandmother sent me some quilting safety pins! What a wonderful surprise and so sweet of them to notice that I NEEDED pins! I guess I mentioned that I was running out of pins with all the projects I'm trying to do at once and though they are non-quilters, they went to the fabric store and asked,"What on earth are quilting safety pins?"
(Same question Tetsu asked when I told him that Julie and her mother had sent me pins.)
I wish I could be so considerate as to notice what people might "need". I tend to do things for people when they ask or because it would be something I'D appreciate, or something I'D like.
Also in the package were some stork scissors! My very first pair!
Thank you Julie, and thank you Julie's mother! Thank you for pins and scissors and for letting Leiya into your home and for taking her to and from college and for just being there when she needs family.
Thank you for thinking of us.

What a SWEET gift - and how lovely of them to notice! I have a pair of stork scissors too - be careful, they're sharp, lol! Love them!
I have begun noticing these bent pins on other people's blogs and wondered about them. I usually begin with pins before I baste in case I have to pick the quilt ip before I am done. These look better than the straight ones I use.
How lucky your daughter is to have a family away from home. We have a big collection of "kids on loan".
That is a great gift. Maybe it helps that they aren't quilters. I can imagine a non-quilter wondering what a quilting safety pin is, and doing a search on the internet, and finding an option to purchase them.
That was nice of your daughter's friend and her mother. And I noticed the quilt you have pictured. I really like the machine quilting on it. You do such a nice job. Thanks for sharing.
