Well you may maybe my swap partner, or you may not??? But my swap partner is going to be getting a 2nd shipment as a very smart person is helping me out. Thank you quiltingdragon for offering to help me with my swap partner and things I can't find.

I crochet so think I might be able to "translate" the pattern to a crochet one if this is the pattern.

Close but the pattern I used uses #7 needles and 20 cast on stitches but the same # of rows for each section. There are a few variations of that pincushion, and at that site was this one similar in design but a crochet pattern.
http://notyouraveragecrochet.com/tut...ns/pincushion/ But your site had several I may want to try. I even saw one similar but each section had different number of stitches and so had graduated heights-that's the first time I've seen that one too.
fayzar gunny looks truly contrite, I'd forgive him as I'm sure you did too, especially after he returned it-maybe he was trying to smoke??? The only thing missing that I can tell is the tea I meant to include but I forgot to put it in, so its on me not gunny.

Well tracking says my pkg was delivered to my SP on Wednesday. I'm glad but I had a great hint, so I'll give it anyway.
Have you heard about the Honey BooBoo scratch and sniff episode? Well relax, I'm not gonna ask you to smell any thing!:D
I'm gonna SING! And you will (thankfully) not really hear it! Ready??

So many great packages coming in. Quilters are wonderfully generous, so many beautiful things. I have had so much fun doing this and seeing what everyone else is doing. Can't wait until next month!

Thanks. I was going to use single crochet -- it will make up faster with half-double. I think I might try one this afternoon just for fun.

JuanitaBean: I received your package on Tuesday. Thank you so much for everything but especially the Aurifil thread which I really wanted to try. I appreciate the pattern, the tapemeasure, the hanging heart, the 3 yellow and blue fabrics that are sweet and the bunch of leftover blocks from a quilt you made. It was a lovely package.
