If you would like to be included in the 4th pincushion swap please pm barbsbus. You must have a pincushion made and ready to mail before signing up and let her know if you live outside the continental US or if you are willing to ship international. With the economy it is understandable that it can be a hardship to pay the extra postage. All pincushions should be sent by December 31st and should have tracking numbers.

I will be back when I have my next one done. Thanks for heading up another one. :-D

Tracking and Confirmation on Pin Cushion I mailed last week now says:

Arrival at Post Office, December 22, 2010, 12:55 pm, PASCO, WA 99301
Processed through Sort Facility, December 22, 2010, 12:57 am, SPOKANE, WA 99224
Processed through Sort Facility, December 18, 2010, 9:44 pm, BALTIMORE, MD 21233
Hopefully she will get the package tomorrow.......

Hi Patti! I hope so too. It didn't come today... yikes, and we just returned from Pasco this morning... I coulda just picked it up if they had let me know... lol, lol!

I didnt know what route it took, I started to think it went via California and was washed away in the mud slides.....lol

Hey Patti, get this... I decided to look up the tracking numbers of the 4 packages I sent out on Monday, the 20th, one of them being yours. It says 'no information for this number' on ALL 4 tracking numbers!

Makes me think the postal person didn't do something or they are hovering in the freezing fog we are having. Go figure... :shock: :shock: :shock:

for the 1st 4 days all the tracking info I could get was ; Processed through Sort Facility, December 18, 2010, 9:44 pm, BALTIMORE, MD 21233
then today I checked and it had magically processed through 2 centers and arrived in WA

go figure....I was afraid if it went through CA it was lost in a mud slide.....

Cookie put a picture on another thread so I will include one here...received her pincushion today and I love it...really cute, thanks again cookie

just checked the site again....still the same info...package still in PASCO, WA.....maybe it will be delivered by New Years EVE??????

I think the postal service "delivery confirmation" doesn't work when there are x number of items in the mail system. I am sure all of our packages will arrive.

Yours from me should just about be to your home today or tomorrow. After all! It was on the news that if you got your packages in the mail by the 20th it was guaranteed to get there 'by' Christmas.

:-D :-D :-D

Linda,
Guess what arrived today........you're right, I received a wonderful Rooster Pin Cushion and a bonus needle holder.......and we wont mention the CHOCOLATE !!!!!! Oh my I am so happy it came today because I will be leaving later tonite too go home for Christmas w/my family.
Thank you very much for Cinnamon, he is already next to the sewing machine with large button head pins I received from one of my secret swap pals.

I hope yours gets there today!!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed.

Whipppeeee... Pattis47, your sweet little teapot pincushion arrived this afternoon. How darling... and my camera died as I turned it on. I will post photos as soon as it is off the battery charger. Thank you so much.

PS: glad you liked Cinnamon! :-D

Very happy that it got there and avoided the rain and mud slides in California.....no telling what route that poor little thing took to get to you.

Finally, my camera is working. Here is the sweet pincushion Short an Sweet sent me on Monday. She also included two cedar chips of wood... mmm, love that smell. Notice the lovely green handmade ornament she included wrapped in sherpa type fabric in a cute sweets pink box.

Thank you for the pincushion and things and thank you for being patient with me about posting photos. Have a very Merry Christmas!

Oh, look what Pattis47 sent me today. The cutest little teapot pincushion. It has a 3-button lid and an ornate handle to boot. I love it. Look at the teeny, tiny tea bag, pattisr47 brand! Thank you Patti. It is darling, for sure.

I love these pincushion swaps. Can't wait till the next one.

Merry Christmas.

PS: almost forgot to add that the teapot sits on top of a 3" skewer so it fits inside a spool of thread. Isn't that clever? Did you design this Patti? Sew cute.

received my first pin cushion ever, the cutest little pillow style (log cabin pattern, I think?) and a matching needle/pin case and chocolates, will post picture this evening but wanted to send a thank you to Linda / SewExtreme. I love them and have already started on the chocolate lol.
Thank you once again
Veronica

I am glad you enjoyed the teapot pin cushion. You are more than welcome...

Thought I would put a running post of all the pincushions that have been posted for this 4th swap.

Hi Barb, how many participants are in this 4th swap? :-D


PS: did you catch the tiny teapot that pattis47 sent and I posted?

I love them!! Too cute.

I finally checked the mail, poor guys had to sit in a cold mailbox since Friday.

Thank you Rajean
