Pincushion Swap

This pretty little book arrived in my mail box last week, along with a few others, and after quickly flicking through it I thought a swap would be fun.


There's such a huge variety of pincushion patterns available now, either through books, purchased patterns or free patterns on the internet. I thought a pincushion swap would be fun, as it's not too labour intensive, not expensive to make, and oh so much fun to create.

Sign up by Saturday, June 7th. Once the names have been collected I'll match you up with your secret partner and email you the details. I'm going to open this up to international swappers, so you need to be willing to post overseas, you also need a blog so your partner can get some idea of what your taste is. Please make sure that your creation is something you'd be thrilled to receive. I'll make up a list on my sidebar of those joining in. If you sign up please follow through. Like Donna if you sign up and do not fulfil your swap I will name you publicly. Mail out to your partner will be July 7th. If you'd like to join in please email me, at lindaronne@yahoo.com with your postal details. This saves me from sending out individula emails requesting this information. Please feel free to spread the word to your blogging/stitching friends.
Happy Stitching.

Edit: If you have your email set at noreply, please make sure you email me privately with your email address and mailing details, at lindaronne@yahoo.com. It will save me a load of time, rather than finding your blog and leaving a message asking for this information.

I'm sooo sad this is open to bloggers only! I'm not in the position to become a blogger but am addicted to reading others. If you change your mind I'd love to join....maybe if I twist your arm hard enough....
Love your blog, keep up the fanastic work!

Yes please Linda - count me in. The more the merrier - perhaps I will actually be able to find one when I need one then - lol !
