Quilters Tranform “Inchies” into Decorative Pins

Previously I wrote about “inchies” in the post, Discovering “Inchies” in the Quilting World. These are the little one inch embellished squares (or slightly larger for “plus size inchies”) that quilters have discovered and are trading, using as decorations, and purely having fun making.
My daughter decided they are the right size for pins so converted two into something to wear by attaching a pin back. She also used as embellishments beads she had created from fabric.
Why don’t you give “inchies” a try!
(These “inchie” pins appear on Meandering Threads.)

“Inchies” and “Plus Size Inchies” have become one of my daughter Beth’s latest fabric art projects. These are 1-inch or 1 1/4-inch squares that you embellish.
Beth has been using some of her dyed fabric and embellishing with stitching, beads, fabric and other items. You can give your imagination free reign and create very interesting tiny pieces of art.
An online fiber arts group Beth recently joined trades the “inchies” and “plus size inchies.’
Sometimes they make these tiny items all of one color; other times they’re multi-colored.
Beth posted this blue collection on her Meandering Threads blog.
