Lauriejo it could be, but it's smaller like you could just put it in anywhere, and is filled with a special filler so that a couple of pins will not be left sticking through even if dropped in a pocket in a purse. It's very slender, and about 3" long. I know the kind you are talking about though.
Thank you lynnie. Yours will be there before you know it. The neat thing is you still get to look forward to a nice surprise. I hope they take pictures so we can see them too.
Seeing what everyone else gets is such fun. No two will ever be just alike either. Five people could all make the same pattern yet with different fabrics etc. and you have five different items.
