Pin Lover’s Club: Star Spangled Mini-Pinnie

August 30, 2018

Hello Pin Lover’s Club friends! We are so excited to share your first look at the next limited-edition set of Pin Lover’s Club handmade pins! This month’s pin collection is all about red, white, and blue so what better to pair with them than a fun flag Mini-Pinnie? This month’s Mini-Pinnie pattern is a foundation paper piecing pattern. I am a big fan of paper piecing and am so excited to share this pattern with you.
