MissM sent me these! Sorry I took so long to post. I plan on using the felt flowers in my fall decorating! Thanks MissM

Mish ~ I am so glad that you love it. This is the first I have ever made and I had so much fun making it. This has been a real fun swap and I'm glad I had you for my first swap partner. I am going to make me one with what I have left of this fabric. Enjoy it!

I am enjoying it...It's next to my sewing machine and I was using it today. When I have to sew on my kitchen table I will use it there too. I alway's tape a sandwich bag on the table...BUT...No more!!!! heehee

Thank you again!!! :thumbup:

I finally got my camera back. Here is a pic of the pincushion I got from MishandJim.

I received a very pretty pincushion and some beautiful pins and stilletto and a darling mini purse from Joycebd. Thank you so much.

It's really an awesome pin cushion! I love the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. I am afraid the pin cushion I made looks very, very amatreurish, so enclosed some goodies to over come that. Bookworm, your package should arrive tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept. 22. It's supposed to be a sunflower, but my friends say it looks like a turtle! :oops: It's my first attempt at making a pin cushion. Feel fee to laugh at it! Maybe its a Hippy Dippy Sunflower! :-)

Luv Quilts and Cats, I love it. AND it does look like a sunflower :) Loved the other two as well... I'll post pics soon.

I am so glad you liked it!

really cute!

I received my package from my swap partner today. I will post a picture later. This has been so much fun, I am ready to get busy on the next one!

I tried looking it up and couldn't find it. So, when you get the instructions if you can PM me that would be great.

Thank you :-D

Molly you were right the first time...it's an etui :)

Here are the pictures. I love the black and white pincushion and the way she added the red and black around it , as well as the black and red button. That really set it off. She didn't have a way to post a picture, so I am posting hers for her.

thanks for posting pics!

you are welcome

I hit the jackpot today!!! I got a very nice package from my pin cushion partner, mbogenpohl. In it was a very cute basket lined with a checkered towel. In side the basket were a package of quilting safety pins, a little note pad with a quilting border on the pages, a great crochet dish cloth, a darling little finger pincushion, and a wonderful pumpkin pin cushion that is just so cute!! It has a piece of a wood for a stem, leaves and some decorative straw in the top!!! It was a great surprise to get such a nice present from my partner in this swap. It makes what I sent her look pitiful in comparison. I'm hoping she can post pictures of our exchanges, as I can't. Thanks again Michelle for all you sent me. It is like Christmas here today!!!

Wasn't the first one so much fun??!! Thanks Barbsbus for starting them.

I'm still patiently waiting for my pin cushion! Maybe tomorrow!

Janis, I'm so excited you loved you pincushion and the rest of the goodies I sent! I love giving surprises!!! Giving to me is so much better than receiving ! Just through your pm's to me I could tell you were so thrilled! I hope we get partnered up again real soon for another swap! You were a fantastic swap partner!

So were you!!! It was so much fun swapping with you. I'd do it again anytime!!! :) :) :)

I forgot to take a picture of my pincushion :oops: and my partner has not posted the picture. :cry: I will try to describe.

It was a soup cup, about 6 inches around and two inches tall. The cup was stuffed and a yellow background with blue flowers. The junction of the cushion and the cup was decorated with lace trimming.

What can I say, Christmas in September!!! I received my watercan pincushion today. Thank you so much JRSAY. Along with the pincushion I got 6 pack of batik blocks, horse chestnuts for planting. Yea me, Christmas in September. Will post pictures later.

Please do post pictures, I want to see the pincushion. That was very sweet of your swapper.

When I went to the post office today and picked up my mail which was held while I was out of town, I found a package containing two cute pincushions from neece. Thank you, neece.

I love you new pincushion's, they are really cite!! :D Neece did a great job making them & I just know you will enjoy having them forever!!
:D :D :D :D

Check out my goodies from JRSAY

Hey JRSAY!!

OMG!! Horse chestnuts!! I didn't think there were any trees left! When I was a kid we played a game where we drilled a hole through the chestnut and dangled it on a shoe string. Then we took turns hitting your opponents chestnut with yours and the one who's chestnut got broken up and fell off the shoe string was the loser. We spent hours playing this game! My brother had the King chestnut (no one could beat him!), as it was practically petrified! I wanted to teach my kids how to play but we couldn't find the nuts anywhere!

Thanks for a couple of minutes of a happy memory!

Nancy

P.S. your pincushion is too cute!!

I've loved seeing all the cute pincushions in so many different designs that have been swapped. I hope everyone in the swap has gotten a pincushion from her swap partner by now or at least knows when to expect it.

Are we doing this again for November?

But what a picture!!!!! I'D FRAQME IT!

i just made a few more and got a book ot of the lib on pincushions, so... i hope we have another swap, i made some candy pincushions, anyone one wanna swap again . lets go for round three

ok, i'm with you

OK. I got the OK to go ahead with pincushion swap #3 but new rules. If you want to be included you MUST have a pincushion made and ready to be mailed before you sign up. That way life can not get in the way and no worries about procrastinating. I will start another thread for pincushion swap
#3. It is important that everyone complies to the rules so no one will be without a pincushion in the end. I will assign partners as the sign ups come in but you MUST pm me to be included. I will NOT be taking sign ups off of the thread. Hopefully this will be a lot nicer for everyone.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

I am finally able to share pictures from the 2nd pincushion swap. My camera broke down so I took pictures from the cell phone. Just took time to learn how to download to the computer. Took me a while to find them and figure out how to post. They were in with the rest of my pictures, but somehow the folder {dated today} posted right before my other folder dated in Jan 2010. I missed it when I first went through them.
I told OKDarla I would post pictures for her, didn't think it would take me so long. The cupcake was her pincushion for the swap. The chicken was the scrap square cut from my bowtuck bag i was just fiddling with. I had just seen the owl tute, so I had to throw in one of those too.{i am making about 50+ of them for gifts for my 2 quilt groups}
