Hope you can jump in this month; if not, I understand, |
Hi all!
Sorry I was missing last night. Thought that we would have free internet at the hotel. No, it was 9.95 for an all day pass. I was not going to pay. Decided I could wait until today. We have 10 needlecases and 19 pincushions signed up to swap so far. There are still a few days. We do need international swappers. Hope you can join in our fun!! |
We have 4 more days to sign up. We had lots of fun for April. Join us for May. There is plenty of room!! :)
|
looking forward to getting my names
|
yeah, me too, cant wait to see who I get, hope they like their gifts. it's so much fun getting gifties in the mail.
|
Ok if I am not to late (I just sent my info to Tracey) I am in for 1 pincushion.
|
I have the cutest idea in my head for a pincushion, I hope I get someone that likes jewel tones becuase it won't look good any other way.
|
Hi everyone, Ive just been reading all of the last PC swap threads. Ive seen some great pin cushions but still looking for more inspiration.
My heart goes out to all those who are going through some hardships at the moment. QL I work in age care and see what you are going through too often. I feel for you deeply. I hope everyone is getting as excited as I am to get your secret swap partners names...Cant wait. Is it time yet? |
I just love jewel tones. the brighter the better. tell little beau I said hi
I few more days till partners. did I mention, I love brights |
Had a panic attack and clicked last month's link..thought somehow I screwed up and missed it all!! Began working on my pincushions today,, and have a plan for the needle cases...Afraid to go too far in case they don't fit the likes of my swapee...Guess I could use them for other swaps and make others if they are not a match!
|
Good evening!!! I am still waiting on one more form. Should have it first thing in the morning. Then the swapping will begin!!
Sorry to have been missing the last few days. The last week of the month is usually hairy for us at the office. Didn't realize that I was going to be working 3 days until 8. One more day of that! Oh well, it is a job and it does support my sewing addition! Have a good night. |
ooooohhh we should be getting our partners soon!!!
|
I have started sending out needlecase partners.
|
All needlecase partners are swapped!!! I will be working on the pincushions tomorrow. Stay tuned :)
|
Have fun ladies, will keep checking in for next months swap.
|
I will start swapping pin cushion partners tonight around 8pm cst. We have dinner plans that I forgot about. Have a good day!
|
Have my partners yippee...I aim to get them posted this week as they have a long way to go (sshhh)
|
Have my partners!! Of course now that I have info about them, I don't want to do the projects I originally started!! Can't wait to get going on my newer ideas tomorrow!
|
Yipee!! Everyone should have their partners for both needlecases and pincushions. If you have not please PM me. Have fun!!!
