Nice looking projects, Louise. You will have a fortunate partner. Hope you are doing ok.

you are so clever with your embroidery, louise! very nice. i may have to come to your house and have you teach me! i have a new machine and now i need the guts to just do it. where is NIKE when i need them!! lol

I had a wonderful time at the mailbox. Well Laura (Blue Cat) brought me wonderful things from the mailbox.

I got an needle case and matching pin cushion from Irene V. They are so cute. Do I need to post a picture? And in my favorite fall colors. I am already using my pin cushion. I have it right next to my sewing chair.

dluvs2quilt sent me a very cute pincushion that is in red gingham sitting on a bed of an antique canning jar lid, and a thread catcher to match made with moregingham and a piece of warm and natural to back it. This is the first one I have seen, but I have all ready put this to use, too. And she sent me a FQ with Quilts on a tan bkgd. Should I send photos?

Thanks swap partners for being so generous, and creative.



I feel like I made a haul.

I also got a lovely pincushion from dluvs2quilt. She made me a pincushion and thread catcher in my favorite colors! She also included a beautiful FQ in the colors of a tropical ocean, sigh. Thanks again partner!

To my partners - I thought I would be mailing today, but I keep getting called in to work so it looks like tomorrow. I really expected to be down to only a couple days a week after the 15th. Of course I also didn't realize my spring allergies would be so bad this year. Usually it's fall that is difficult for me.

Of course! We want to see!

Very nice pin cushion and thread catcher. Sorry your allergies are acting up!

Still waiting on one PC so maybe I will receive Q'Louise's? A girl can dream, right? :D You gals have all done an awesome job! But I have to ask - what is a thread catcher? Don't believe I've ever heard that term.
Happy spring!

The inside is a fuzzy fabric so threads will stick to it. It also snaps shut so when you aren't using it the fuzzy part will stay clean. I haven't seen one like this before, but very clever.

I am sill waiting For my needle cases also.

I'm waiting on both. But it's early if they are just being mailed. Like mine.....
