    If you Google (pincushions) you will find all kinds of patterns and ideas.


    Useful pincushions that are made from any of the following:
    material; yarn; recycled or plastic, cardboard, wood, glass, tin, ceramic containers. Stuffing can be cotton, polyester, wool fabric or yarn, sawdust, crushed walnut shells, sand or rice. Let's keep the expenses below $5.00 plus shipping

    Sign up will end Aug 2, 2010, after that you will be matched with a swap partner. You must send me a PM in order to get on the signup list.

    Mailing deadline is Sept. 15, 2010.

    Size can be any size.

    Label (optional) if possible attach some kind of label so you partner will remember who made the special pincushion.

    Communication: if something comes up and you are unable to meet the deadline for mailing or you must drop out let me know as soon as possible. Keep in communication with your swap partner if you have any questions. Be sure to thank your partner.

    Please PM me if you would like to join in the fun. If you are willing to swap international, please indicate that in your PM . Thanks Barbsbus
