ctyankee that is such a nice swap package you received. Lucky you. Cheesehead did an amazing job!

Pamela what a great swap package you got from Cheesehead. Really nice matching pc and nc and what a lot of nice goodies. Great swap.

Lynnie it was Pamela that got this swap

beautiful couple with a pretty backdrop created just for them that day
by God!

Lois, your swap arrived today. I am going to post a picture on the October Pin cushion / Needle case swap site. I am so very happy with it and I am so pleased that it finally made it. thank you so much. Have sent you a PM.

Any idea what Dec swap theme is? Christmas/Winter or certain colors?

I am finished with the pin cushion, now making the needle case.

Not sure but I am also wondering as I am gone part of the time I might want to take a head start if I am doing December.

My partner is suppose to get her Nov one today.

The December theme will be Christmas/Holiday/Winter. If anyone wants to start early, that's fine with me. I am leaving for Ohio on the 24th so I will try to post the new signups on the 23rd.

Thanks for posting the theme klaws. I'll see if I can work it in before I leave town in Dec.

Thanks Karen. Dec. is always a fun swap time. Seems like several have mailed out swaps during this last week. That means "LOTS OF PICTURES" coming soon.

Cuppy has received her swap from me and asked me to post pictures of it. Since the theme was "anything goes", I thought selvedges were a good, crazy idea! Below are the pics of what I sent to Cuppy: a selvedge bicorn pin cushion, needle book, and a mug rug for good measure. The back of the mug rug is Christmas.

sewbizgirl, I love everything you got. love the selvages!

sewbizgirl -- I love that pc! Great idea, too. I keep saving selvedges & need to start using them! I'm sure cuppy adores her swap package from you!

What a different pincushion. Love it. The mug rug is adorable too. Very nice swap.

Thanks Lynnie, but this is what Cuppy got. I sent it.

great work and I still love the selvages

All of the pincushions and needle books are so so pretty. :)

Sewbizgirl, I need to start saving mine. Seeing them used that way is so pretty, and unique.

It shows my partner received her NP. I hope she likes it and the goodies.

I love your swap from Cuppy. ADORABLE , Sewbizgirlgirl, I love the selvage idea. Great swap!!!

I received the cutest swap from Annaquilts, Bas Denbraver from Califirnia. This was her first needle case and swap. And I think she did a swell job. Beautiful FQ and keychain flashlight along with candy that's been consumed!!!! We've been hearing lots of owls in our country acreage at night but this one will be quiet and a pleasure to pin and prick. Lol. Thank you Bas [ATTACH=CONFIG]535829[/ATTACH]

im also happy to post that Betty J did receive her Oct PC/nc from me. Round about trip through Canada. She posted it to Oct .

Oh I am glad you received it and like it but it is from me, Anna.

It was my swap TO Cuppy...

Thank you!

Love that owl pincushion, Anna! He's adorable.

Such a cute owl pc. Love the needlebook fabric. Nice swap good job.

Inside of needle case, I have been using Warm and White batting, the white colored Warm and Natural batting and really like it.

KLAWS, swap host, had it as a suggestion with the intro-

2. Use cotton or wool felt for the pincushions and stuff with appropriate filling. Use cotton or felt for the needle case, and it should have an insert of wool, felt, or Warm and Natural (this is great for needle cases).


Here too the candy gets eaten before I get to the picture taking.

OK I got a teaser. I already finnished next months needle case and pincushion. It is a Holiday one and that is all I will say for now. I have it standing ready along with the goodies so I can get it in the mail before I leave to go out of town.

sewbizgirl and lawsongmugs thank you for your kind comments. The owl was fun to make.

Great job Anna. I love the owl!

Wow, AnnaQuilts, you are a quick one! I'm still thinking what to do -- & the deadline is looming ahead! Your owl is adorable ... great swap!

What a cute owl pc. I have the nc almost done and stitching the pc top. I hope to get it in the mail in a few days. Great swaps.

Oh I wonder, wonder, wonder whoooooo is sending me a pin cushion and needlecase!? The mystery is so much fun.

I will be sending my package to my person today after work. This is the latest I've ever sent out a package. Glad I'll be making the deadline!

This is the swap I sent to IreneC She received it last week and was going to post a picture. I don't know what happened. Probably just life. She was new to this swap. So here is the pc and nb.First picture is a tissue holder, needlecase and one side of pin cush. The second is the other side of pin cush and inside of needlecase. Third is some earrings,candy and candle .She thanked me and was very sweet in her PM. :)

Now how cute is all of that! I bet she is very happy with all of the beautiful and yummy gift. Great job lawsonmugs! I am very intrigued with the needle case. Is that your own pattern? Do you still have a picture with it all the way open?

Anna the second picture is of it opened all the way. The way it is folded then stitched around makes little pockets to hold the scissors thread etc. I got the pattern off the internet a couple years ago. I only saved the actual pattern cut out. No directions. If I can find it online again I will post a link. Thanks for your nice comment. Don't ya just love seeing pictures?

great gifts as always fromMary, but I love the tissue holder style. Great design Mary!

Mary, I love the swap you sent to Irene. Are those earrings little scissors??? I just love them!

Deb

Mary what a great swap you sent to Irene. You always come up with something different. I've never seen a tissue holder like that one and it's really nice. Your nc is too cool. I love your homemade containers. I love everything that you make. I am not even finished with my package and hope to get it done and in the mail by Friday. Where does the time go? I did go by the farm and all the turkeys are still in the pen. I bet that by Monday they will be gone. They had some that were brown and then white on the tail. I haven't seen where they put all the goats yet.
Everyone have a great day
