Pin Cushion Swap

Is there anyway you can make this a handmade swap only? I'd love to participate, but would so much rather know it was handmade for handmade :)

Me too. I'd rather it was handmade as I put a lot into making these.

I agree. I would rather a handmade pincushion. They are more special.

handmade! :D

I'll sign up if it's handmade only.

I can make it handmade only, no problem! This is the first swap I am hosting, so I was not sure what most people would prefer. Now if I can figure out how to edit this....

All done! Handmade only now. Thanks for your suggestions!!!

I have had so much fun making handmade pincushions and I am so happy to share the love and care that goes into producing these treasures.

Lola

i am all about handmade! looking forward to making and sending! what a great idea, i am addicted to pincushions too!

is there any way to have more than 1 partner? i love making pincushions :)

Tip :If you have to send a package to Europe please wright the 7 with an extra line in the middle . Offently postmen take the overseas 7 for a 1 !

Miet

Little question : If possible can you put real stamps on the packages ? Not those ugly white postoffice things :o))) I know many stamp collectors overhere and real stamps are very rare this days .

THANK YOU VERRRRRRRRRY MUCH

Miet

great idea..

My pin cushion piece is inspired by fall colors. I love all colors but almost always they are inspired by nature. My colors, whether they be pinks or greens are more natural hues. Still, I am rather nervous about my choice of pin cushion and whether the individual I swap with will like it. I hate obsesssing but I am just going to stick with what I am making. I am assuming that all swappers appreciate the beauty of nature and the joy of crafting unique and handmade products. That is the approach I am taking in this swap. I sort of wanted to wait to see who I got and whether I should customize a cushion to what they like but that would make me obsess even more. I am not a professional seamstrees or crafter but I care about what I am making and want to enjoy the process while making a useful and beautiful item.

OK, I'm in too! A girl can never have enough cute handmade pin cushions :o)

Thank you for the pincushion, Pat! I uploaded a picture to the gallery if anyone would like to see it.

i've uploaded 2 images of what i will be sending to my swap partner.

I sent out my pin cushion today!!! I am proud that I got it out in the mail before the last day!!! I just hope that my swap person likes what I sent!!

Mine went in the mail today. I hope you like what I sent!!!

UPS told me that my pin cushion arrived to my partner's address last Wednesday. I hope you are enjoying it. I really had a good time making it for you.

Received a nice note from my partner. So glad that all is well and that you are actually using the pin cushion!

Thank you Evelyn for my beautiful Asian inspired pin cushion - I love it & the extras as well!!! I will post a picture of it tonight!

Iwas the lucky recipient of Slice of Pumpernickels very first pincushion. I really love it and have put it to work already. It is my one and only pincushion and I love it. Thank you again Ella, it arrived very fast too. Now as soon as i can figure out how to rate I will be giving you a ten. Thank You Donna

pincushion arrival in Belgium !!! Donna thank you very much for your lovely sewing machine pincushion . I like it a lot ! Miet

Pin cushion arrives safely in France! Thank you so much, Maria (riario), for the lovely pin cushion you sent me. I love the colors- and stop worrying about your embroidery, it's cute!

Hmmm, I'm still sitting by my mail box, have not recieved a package yet, nor have I heard from my partner, Shirley in Or., whether she got hers or not. Hope so. I sent it out on the 30th of Oct.

Thank you! I just got mine from the U.K!!! Very cute indeed, I got 2 pin cushions, AWESOME :)

Sarah - I read about my pincushion on your blog before it arrived , then received it and it is wonderful. Just right! Thank you SO much, you're an awesome swap partner!

I see that there are 7 people that have not sent their packages. It's almost a week after the swap date. Is there any way our swap Mom can get these people to move? This is not fair to those of us that did it in a timely manner to our swap partner but have not recieved our package yet!!!!

I haven't heard anything from my swap partner as to if she got her pincushion or not. And I haven't gotten mine either! Come on now peoples get your acts together!! Send out those pincushions so everyone can enjoy them!

As of today I am waiting on my pin cushion too.

I'm waiting for my pincushion too. And also waiting to know if the pincushion I sent has reached its destination...

Getting worried overhere !!! Sandy ( Sam ) did my pincushion arrived safe and well ?

Miet

I found out that my pin cushion that I made got to it's new home and she loved it! Yeah!! Still waiting for mine to come.

Well, still waiting here too, after 1 1/2 weeks past deadline date...come on folks...do the right thing. I did find out mine was recieved and she liked it. At least SOME good news!

To Lamazon, Sorry i did not get stamps on your envelope either , I meant to do that , but the post office was quicker than me . I was mailing out a few things that day too.I'm happy you like your pincushion. Donna

Did everybody get their pin cushions by now?? Just wondering... I uploaded a photo of the one I sent to my partner btw (hope she got it!).

I have not received pin cushion and I am very dissapointed. However, it was a joy to produce a pin cushion that was lovingly received and appreciated by my swap partner (winks to mykismet!)

This is my first swap, and I haven't received mine yet. :( My swap partner emailed me and said she mailed it on 11/4, so hopefully the mail is just slow.

looks like my partner will not be following through. oh well. at least the swap inspired me to make my first pin cushion ever.

Mine was sended along ago but I don´t know if LotusBean received it.

Just over three weeks since the closing date and I still don't have a pin cushion.

It is now Christmas Day and I still do not have a pin cushion. I am VERY disappointed to say the least. Sure would have been nice if EVERYONE could have followed through with their commitment!

At this day I haven´t received the pin cushion, and I don´t knwo if mine, send by the swap date was getting for my partner. I´m very dissapointed.

I still have not recieved anything nor have I heard from anyone saying why not???

As you can see, it has almost been another two weeks and still no feedback from anyone. How very disappointing.

Finally!!! I got my pincushion!!! It´s beautiful!!!

Well, the swap date was November 2006 and it is June 07. I have not received anything...no pincushion nor a note from my person. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
