Those who have received pincushions, please post pictures on this site so we can all droll. Thanks

I bet she will love it. LOL. *H*U*G*S*

Hi Barb
That does sound heavenly. My aunt was a nurse out in Bakersfield when I was young, and it was so romantic to stay up late in the hot desert night and hear the trucks going up and down the highway. I wanted to be a truck driver!
Now I live in the smallest town I have ever lived in, 50,000 people! They divide themselves into 5 groups of about 10,000 each,
mostly by which Catholic Church they attend, Italian, Irish, French
and Polish, then the Wesleyan University crowd and the South Carolina group. They are a little clannish. But our town has a lot to offer.
I would like to keep in touch with you.
Hopefully
Diann

My pinchushion is on it's way to Australia, they couldn't give me a delivery confirmation, but they did say that the PO could track if they needed to off of the customs number

Here is a photo of the pincushions dotcomdtcm sent me! Aren't they cute?! I am calling the snowwoman Gertrude.

Here are my pincushions from OR Sunshine Quilter! How cute!

I love the butterfly. Is that an original design?

Oh that little snowman is sewww cute! How clever to use an egg coddler. How much we learn from one another is amazing.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

O.K. so i know we did the third, are we having another one, 'coz i just made some more pincushions and need to unload them on a swap partner??????
show us your pincushions everyone, i'm dying to see them

I got my pincushions!!! From Lindyline, I got a very nice sewing purse, a wonderful cupcake pincushion and one that is square in shape and I'm still trying to figure out how she made it.
I got my pincushions from Lynnie too!! I got a 3 stack high pillow type pincushion with a decorative center and held together with a ribbon. I also got a striped fabric tube pincushion that is tied with see through, is it organza? and looks like a roll of candy! Also a cute little magnet to hand on my fridge!
If they can post pictures of the things they sent me, I'd appreciate it as I can't. If not, I'll send a picture to a friend and ask her to post them for me. Thanks a lot!!
Janis

I rec'd them today and I love, love them. I have been to Vegas so many, many times, I love the Las Veas Cushion. The red smiley reminds me of a red M&M too. ANd it is my favorite color as you probably know, and I love the flower magnet pin cushion. It wil come in handy on my machine. Thank you so much.

Yours will be shipping on Monday. I decided to make something extra for you. SO will send it priority so you get it faster. *H*U*G*S* It was good to meet a new friend. I love this swap.

I will also be sending a pin cushion to Terryl on Monday. I have two partners this time just because. So be on the look out in FLorida too.

Hi Everyone! Look what grammynan made!!!! I received it today. Isn't it fantastic!!! And PINK :) I just love it!!!!!! Thank you Nancy!

Finally found the camera and got it to work. Here's my pincushion from Janis.I love it, it's so pretty.

Here is my Pink Pincushion from Kooklabell!! I love it and it's made from my favorite fabric!! Thank you, Patricia, my "pink partner"!!

my pincushion and snowflake ornament from Ssnare.
Thank You! I love the snowflake what a nice surprise extra. The pincushion is soo cute and will be fun to use.

Wow, I love little pincushions. I need pincushions every where... I used to be able to crochet and loved it. What a beautiful snowflake.
:thumbup:

The pincushion will definitely add a little sparkle to my sewing as Christmas approaches. I can't wait to hang my snowflake on the tree. We usually wait to put our tree up about the week before Christmas and leave it up until Epiphany. But I might have to take my snowflake into work and hang it in my cube.

I received my pin cushion (plus other goodies) from ZQuilter today. It was so cute. She also included some Werthers chocolates (for DH) and a sachet (pine scent) and a scissor holder matchine the pin cushion. I took pictures with my trusty 5 year old Kodak and went to hook it up to the computer and the connector is broken. So, unless the photo lab can obtain the pictures from my memory chip, no photos until I get a new camera. Thanks so much ZQuilter. You are soooo talented.

You should be able to take your memory chip into Walmart, Walgreens or any place that makes CDs from your memory chip. Usually the CD is around $3-4. If you have a Costco, I think they also do that. Wow, just in time for Christmas ( a new camera). :-D

Only problem is I already received my Christmas present. It is a 1903 Singer model 27 treadle sewing machine in like new condition. I am absolutely thrilled. It has the pheasant decals which I understand is quite rare. At any rate, I just love it. Also, I work at WalMart and am going to take it in today and see. Thanks for the advice.

i sent thgemn to you without a photo, sorry
lynnie

Is there going to be another swap? These are so much fun. I just love them.

Oh how lucky am I!! I had Twinkie for a swap partner and she sent me the cutest Mr. and Mrs. Santa pincushions with beaded pins in each. Very clever, glad my camera is straightened out so I can add a picture. Thank You Twinkie, Happy Holidays to you all

what a cool idea, I have tons of those

Great idea Twinkie! I will have to look around my house for things like those. Darling pincushions. :-D

Ms. Shawn & SewnSew: I will try to get your pincushions to the post office on Friday or Saturday. Roads are icy here. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

:-D

So cute Twinkie! What a neat idea to use the Santas for pincushions and your pins are so nice did you make them yourself?

Pictures retreived successfully. Aren't they darling? Liz is so talented. Thank You!!

Yes, they are so easy to make. I use the decorative long pins with the colored (Pearlized, yellow or white) heads. Just pick out your colored bead (I prefer the star beads because they look like flowers). Place the pin thru the hole and just before the bead meets the head of the pin, drop a dab of hot glue. This keeps the shaft of the pin from being covered with glue. Then pull the pin tight with the bead. And Wahlah, you have a decorated pin.

Great idea Twinkie! I have tons of beads and have always wanted to have decorated pins. You are clever...

:-D

Thanks Twinkie for giving the pin tute. I have tons of beads as a few years ago I was into making leather mitts and moccasins with beaded designs. Now I know what to use some of these beads for!

got mine, i posted it under got my pincushion pictures, go see it, it's great, i don't know how to post here

Lynnie, here are your photos.

Cute, cute pincushions. Hope mine gets to my partner soon. Haven't heard from her.

PincushionS from debbieumphress arrived finally yesterday. A darling pear with a natural stem, A little pillow with ny initials on ans a rolled hassock looking.

Special surprize is a Santa face woven from beads. Thank you, Thank you. Love them.

Woul;d love to know how to make the rolled one from what feels like fleece.

I'll try to take photos. Trying to get kids & grands Christmas presents made today.

thanks so much for helping out, i also got a cool scissors hanger made out of a tie.
i just got sooo excited about the pincusion, i forgot to mentin it

The rolled one is actually just 2-1/2" fleece strips in different colors. SCraps if you would. Then roll them up and use regular glue to seal the end. Make wonderful quick gifts. The santa necklace with beads was made by me and my GD. Fun isn't it. Good time to wear it from now till xmas.YOu can calso cut smaller strips like 1" and roll with diffrent colors, Look like baby kelly rolls nad glue a pin on the back for a little gift for quilting friends. Glad you rec'd them and like them. *H*U*G*S*

Any time Lynnie, I would be glad to help you out.

:-D :-D
