My husband drilled a hole in the lid so I can add pins without having to take the lid off. This also doubles as a fantastic toy for any toddlers you may have lurking around your sewing room.
I also made some reusable block labels at the same time. Previously I used scrap pieces of paper with a number scribbled on them pinned to quilt blocks to keep track of them, now I've got these reusable block labels - much better for my pins and of course they look much more impressive in my WIP photos!
I also made some block labels using a marker, which was much quicker than stamping it. What do you use to keep track of your quilt blocks?
These are project 26 and 27 of Scraps 101.

another great idea - reusable labels! I just use scraps of paper at the moment!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Deborah, I use scraps of paper but I like your idea and I might just have to try it. Thanks
ReplyDeleteReusable labels, brilliant! I write on the fabric in the section that I know will be in the seam and not seen.
ReplyDeleteI use scraps of paper, but your labels are sew sweet! Love the pins jar, too!
ReplyDeleteVery cute labels! Great idea. I don't label my blocks. I rely heavily on getting it right on my design floor... and my stitch ripper.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea for block markers.
