September 2023 Pincushion Swap
 

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the September 2023 Pincushion Swap.

You must be signed up by the 30th September 2023. Partners’ names will be sent out between 1st and 2nd of October 2023. You must have mailed by the 7th October 2023. 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 30th September 2023 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

Here is the photo of the swap I received from abdconsultant. She really did a nice job!

I received my ottoman pin cushion, pearlized pins, needle threader and beautiful star pattern fat quarter! Thank you so much Carolinepaj!

Sounds so cute ... can you post a photo of the ottoman pincushion?

Thanks m-fay!
 

Yesterday I had some happy mail in the mailbox. I'm not sure how long it's been there because I haven't checked the mail in a few days...

The package included a cute and very original partridge in a pear tree pin cushion along with a Santa ornament to hang on a larger tree. There were some flathead pins and fabric included too. The chocolates are yummy! I'm not telling just how few pieces of those I have left...LOL

Thanks m-fay!

So glad it arrived safely!

Hugs

Caroline

Thank you Michelle!!!
 

I received my lovely swap from Michelle today... such a cute apple pincushion and a bowl cosy that I am sure will be well used!

Michelle, thank you for my lovely wooly pincushion and for being my sender this round.

Hugs

Caroline

You're welcome...
 

You're welcome Caroline. I'm glad the package made it to you safely...

Happy Sewing All!

And today my package arrived safe and sound. Thank you so much Connie. My favourite shape for a pin cushion. I seem to find square ones are more practical though I like fancy ones as well.youve put a lot of work into this miniature heart cushion. And the miniature coaster. Thank you the template as well. I will definitely use that .

I can't send photo from my phone so will do it tonight from computer.
