HERE WE GO! COME JOIN THE FUN !! LET'S HAVE A PIN CUSHION SWAP !!! It’s the people that make swaps so much fun! This should be a good time had by all! The last one we had was ALOT of fun, and alot of creativity came out in that! Here's the guidelines ~ This will be for medium to large size pincushions (no bottle caps)... I will swap like size for like size. If you send in small ones, I will send them back... Please, nothing smaller than 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 SIGN-UPS will end SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3rd There will be a limit of 10 pin cushions that you can send in We will be swapping like-size for like-size … if you want big, well, we can do that too! It all depends on what is received, but I will try my best to make it all worth your while You can embellishment them, get creative, follow a pattern, have lots of fun! NO STORE-BOUGHTS ~ ESPECIALLY TOMATOES Please, NO FOOD items to stuff with … i.e. rice, beans and such (I don’t want to have anything that would attract a critter if they got inside) Please, NO BREAKABLE CONTAINERS! While putting them in mugs and such is fun, it makes it really tough on packing... so if it's something that can be broken, make sure it's small so we can wrap it good! Please label your pincushions so we will know where they are from… you can attach a label, or write on the bottom in a permanent fabric pen so we can think of you and smile when we use it All pincushions need to be MAILED so that the ponies can drop them off by March 31st It is suggested we use delivery confirmation so we can track if we need to. MAILING: For returning your pincushions, I will try to mail your pin cushions back to you in the same package they were sent in... I just need a label, with postage for return included. Please send an addressed LABEL for return with postage ENCLOSED. Also, please include $1 for any extra postage that may be needed… your change will be returned in the return package before mailing… UNLESS you mail in Priority Mail Flat Rate, then it’s the same for whatever you put in Delivery Confirmation is needed on the return package, so we can track if we have to. The $1 for extra postage should cover the delivery confirmation also… And please, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me either by email, PM, or phone If you want to post pics as you go… then let’s have some fun with that! I’ll keep a thread out there somewhere for sharing… Here's one to get you started! ANYONE NEED INSPIRATION OR PATTERNS? There are TONS on the internet, or even pattern companies have gotten on the band-wagon. Or maybe you’re inspired all on your own creativity! We love pics to share! ♥♥ Sew...........

|
I would like to sign up so long as I don't have to do ten. I can do less, right? | ||||
|
I've got seven finished hoping this swap makes. It's possible to make a 6" pincushion in a fraction of the time it took to make a smaller one. Variety makes them more interesting. So I'll enlarge the pattern I was using. Won't take more time or expense. | ||||
|
GOOD QUESTION Headie! Yes, you can do LESS than 10, but you CAN do UP to 10 Thanks for clarifying that And Evelyn ... I'll put you on the list PLEASE HELP SUPPORT MY WALK ... on my RELAY FOR LIFE PAGE Bring on the New Year ... it's MY YEAR for sewing! | ||||

Those roses are gorgeous and the donuts look good enough to eat. | ||||
|
You know it's really hard to come up with something each time and try to top those roses! LOL!! I thought about doing them again but we'll see! I have another one I would like to try! The funny thing about the donuts is that I made them from my own kinda pattern and then Quilts and More Mag. came out with a pattern! LOL!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Shoot for the Moon! Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars!!" | ||||

I got all excited about making some pincushions and crocheted ten of these hats. But after reading the directions again I saw that some are too small. | ||||
|
Since some of the sunbonnets were too small I decided to make a different set for this swap. So I've got a whole pond of these frogs sewn waiting for me to finish putting on their eyes. Then I saw the photo of the other frogs! Makes me want to cry! I made a sombrero pincushion years ago and may try that next. | ||||
|
OH myyyyyyyyy evelyn, those are the cutest frogs...I love them!!!! Adorable " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.. " | ||||
