February 2024 Pincushion Swap
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the February 2024 Pincushion Swap. You must be signed up by the 29th February 2024 (It is a leap year!!!). Partners’ names will be sent out between 1st and 2nd of March 2024. You must have mailed by the 7th March 2024. This is a hard and fast deadline - no excuses. You must also please let me know via private message when you mail and when you receive... this is so I can make sure that everybody receives a pincushion. This is a personal choice swap so you can make any type of pincushion that you would like to. Before signing up, please read the rules below: Rules As with all swaps there must be rules so here are ours! 1. This is a secret swap. 2. This is not a partnered swap so you may not receive from the person you send to. 3. Everybody on the board is welcome to take part. 4. This will be a normally a tri-monthly swap (4 in a year), although they are a little further apart at the moment until we build up momentum again. You only take part in the months that you sign up for. 5. If you commit to taking part you must send out a pincushion… no excuses! 6. If you encounter a problem or issue, you must let me know immediately; there is nothing that cannot be sorted and re-organised if you communicate. 7. You are only committed to send a pincushion…. You may, if you wish send other items, but please do not expect to receive anything more than a pincushion. 8. Be kind to the person you receive from… we are all at different levels of experience on this board and we need to encourage each other… so if you receive an item from a less experienced stitcher - just appreciate the time and love that has been put into making it. 9. You must mail your item by the deadline above... no excuses. 10. You must let me know when you send and when you receive. This allows me to keep track of things and ensures that everybody receives a pincushion 11. The main rule is to have fun making and receiving some lovely creations. Sign-ups will start now and close on the 29th February 2024 for this round. When signing up, please let me know if you have a nut allergy as some people fill their pincushions with walnut shells. Also please let me know if you are willing to mail internationally (please consider this as it allows everyone to participate in the swap). So come on, join in and have some fun! Hugs Caroline |
Count me in please Caroline. I've already started on it. Hint using embroidery and inktence pencils.

Hi Ladies,
I am so sorry I have been MIA for a little while. I had the flu earlier in the year and I have found that it has really taken some time to get over. Also, my best friend lost her youngest sister at the end of last month and I have been spending quite a lot of time supporting her. But all seems to be going well and packages mailed. Marion, I cannot wait to see your pincushion using Inktense pencils... I have some of them but have never really used them.... so I am hoping for inspiration! Hugs Caroline |
Thank You
Hi Guys,
I received my wonderful pincushion today from Connie.... not just a pincushion, but a matching mug rug. Connie, you always make such fun pincushions.... I love it! Hugs Caroline |

Hi All,
Sorry I missed the picture off! |
So happy you like them Caroline. That fabric makes me smile.
|
That's a good idea to make a mug rug to match. Can I copy your idea please?
|
Just checked my tracking. My PC arrived in its designated country March 18 at 11 43pm. So you should have it soon
|
m-Fay I have the template in 3 different sizes. They are my favorite little gift to make. One is small and makes a coaster size. I think I have sent you one. Caroline’s was made with the medium and makes a mug rug size. The large makes a table topper size. They are from Missouri Star and are the periwinkle templates.
|
I received my package!!! The pincushion is so sweet and a fat quarter! Still trying to upload a photo so you can see how nice it is!

pin cushion
I dont know what happened there. It kept saying the message was too short but it went anyhow so that's good.Thank you Lillian.
Connie, I have to apologize. I have got the mini template, which I haven't used yet ( probably why I couldn't remember it). I looked back on my photos and found it with the pin cushion (Which I am currently using and the little coaster that lives with its coaster mates near the TV. Thank you again anyhow. |

I received my package from Marion yesterday! I always get a little thrill when connecting with my far-away friends. She always puts so much work into her pincushions and these are no exception. Love the button doorknobs, little kitty and especially the clothesline! I have been collecting for a blue and white quilt so the fat quarters are perfect. Thank you so much!

Glad it arrived ok Connie. I tried to order a 3 pack of templates but they are currently out of stock so I left my email address.
