I usually put crushed walnuts in my pincushions, do I have to worry about anyone with nut allergies? | ||||
|
 |
Oh my! I never thought about nut allergies. I bought walnut shells because that was suggested and mine are all done  | |||
|
 |
no nut allergies here, but it is a thought...I normlly use polyfill mainly because of shipping international. " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.. " | |||
|
 |
I think the nut allergies would be for ingesting them ... never heard of anyone allergic to touching the shells ... and in the pin cushions, you wouldn't touch anything anyway  PLEASE HELP SUPPORT MY WALK ... on my RELAY FOR LIFE PAGE Bring on the New Year ... it's MY YEAR for sewing! | |||
|
|
I agree they won't be touched and are all packed away...but Caleb has several friends who can't even be in the room with a nut or egg product...if it touches their skin or they inhale it...it could be very dangerous for them " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile..

made this lil' fella today...he needs a trim and tuck here and there...I might try one more...it's supposed to be a hedgehog...Caleb says he's a fat mouse  " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile..

I don't care what you call him ... HE'S CUTE! PLEASE HELP SUPPORT MY WALK ... on my RELAY FOR LIFE PAGE Bring on the New Year ... it's MY YEAR for sewing! | |||

HI LADIES I WILL STAR MY WHEN I COME BACK FROM INDIA AND BANGLADISH I AM LIVING TOMORROW MORNING. I WILL SEE WHAT I FINE THERE FOR MY PINCUSHING. SEE YOU ALL WHEN I AM BACK LOVE ELY | |||

OH! Trish, that hedgehog is adorable!! OK! After being on the fence for so long....I think I'm "IN' & I know what I want to make....just finding the supplies..??..not sure if I can make 10 but will try! At the last COF reterat in Branson, Ms Shawkl was giving out baggies of fine 'emory' that she uses in her pin cushions. I also have fine masonary sand that I use when I make the pin cushion on my thread catchers...will us 1 or the other in the ones I make for this swap. ****************************** Take time for kindness & for giving. Take time for friends & happy living! **************************** | |||

Safe travels Ely... LOL,I think if I find bigger eyes for the hedie he won't look so much like a beady eyed mouse,LOL I have severl more patterns to try out, so I'll be sending in an assortment as always. I wonder how mixing a bit of emery with the sand would be Lynne? It'd sure stretch out the use of the emery for sure, it's hard to get here, and expensive because I have to have it shipped from the US...

|
 |
Would it be cheaper to have your relatives buy it and ship to you? Or maybe a board membercould? TerryOH | |||
|
|
I often do that Terry, and sometimes even wait until i have a huge order for fabrics etc...as some companies offer free shipping if the purchase order is over 250-300 dollars. My family and board members here have been so helpful and supporitive of my hobby  I also try to bring home as much as I can when I come for a visit...lol...this year I'm hoping to get lots of items made from stash, as it has grown...lol...

Hiya Shauana and WOW chciky that's a lot of swappers! would I sound greedy if I said I wanted a pincushion from each of you? LOL...a gal can wish can't she  " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.. " | |||
|
|
I agree, KSunshine. I'm working on my third set of pincushions for future swaps. I just discovered that the magazine Quilts and More has the cutest pincushion pattern every month. I just can't resist making them. | |||
|
|
Hiya Kentucky!! I'm only making 10 this year! I have so many from past years and love them all. But 10 is enough for me! LOL!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Shoot for the Moon! Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars!!" | |||

Hi all! I think I just sent a PM to the host. Not sure but I am sure I want to join the swap! Looks like such fun. I am also participating in another swap and ran across this one. I love to collect pin cushions so this is perfect for me! How can I find out if I am on the list? THANKS!! Lindy in NC | |||

Even after a liberal hare cut this dust bunny is much too big for a pincushion. Think I'll adjust the pattern somewhat and do a sphere instead. Can't see the hands anyway and the feet don't help it stand up.  | |||
|
|
Evelyn, that dust bunny literally just made me LOL...very unique... and cute in an odd sort of way love it! I so wish we could have a mini retreat where all we did was eat and make pincushions and enjoy each others company...what a hoot that would be!" Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.. " | |||
|
|
"What a hoot that would be!" reminded me of the owls I made last Halloween. These would be fun to use in a swap too. What fun we'd have! These pincushions are so small we could get a bunch made at a retreat!  | |||
|
|
Evelyn, you are so creative! I've actually got several owls cut out for this swap, along with a few dolls, and little handbags, just waiting to find time to sew them...of course I could/should be doing that now...lol " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.. " | |||
|
|
Hey RooBilly ... you KNOW where to find me ... you come on back, and we'll plan that retreat It would be FUN FUN FUN ! CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE! LOVE the pin cushions, Evelyn You ARE talented!

I cleaned my entire sewing room the last two days..because I couldn't find the doll BEADS that you use for weight in pincushions, etc. HA They were in my BEDROOM! But now I know where everything is! | |||
|
 |

After finishing the wild pincushion I got out the basket of goodies I'd won at guild. Surprised to find a quilt pattern called "Dustbunny Quilt" by Becky Jackson. It spoke to me and after grabbing the leftover yarn from the trash can I made this wallhanging last night. It's going in my entry hall. Now I need to make more of the dustbunnies because there's never just one. In the sashing is written "no cleaning allowed" and "this is a dustbunny sanctuary".  | |||
|
|
Those owls are SO cute! I love the candy corn fabric. Lindy in NC | |||
|
|
Thanks, Lindy. I've been on a small project kick for several months. Pincushions and taberunners fit the bill. Love those birds! The chick's mighty sweet too. Our hostess will have quite a variety when these all arrive. | |||
|
|
OOOOO my gosh, these projects are SO VERY CUTE! I can't wait to see all the fun creativity everyone is coming up with And if there's a poor chicken that got looped in with a bunch of geese ... if she can make the flight, I'll make sure she gets a good home PLEASE HELP SUPPORT MY WALK ... on my RELAY FOR LIFE PAGE Bring on the New Year ... it's MY YEAR for sewing! | |||

Awesome!!!

I have a friend drooling over the pincushions. She's not computer savvy (her IBM uses 3 1/2" floppies so is rarely used just for typing). Can I sign her up if she's not on HGTV? She lives 3 blocks from me. She has an awesome sewing room with wonderful built-in cabinets. I need to take photos to inspire you. She's decided that she's too old to join the tech world but I have a great aunt who started on Facebook when she turned 103! Keeps the family in gossip! Evelyn | |||
|
Want to have fun this year & what better way then to start off off with a pincushion swap Can I please join? thanks Nancy | ||||
