Pin Cushion Rnd 3 SWAP GALLERY!

[GingaNic]

Yeah, thanks Taloola.  I'm so glad my first swap was a good experience.  I haven't received my pincushion from GingaNic in the UK, but it took forever for mine to reach her, and I know it will be awesome, anyway!

I'm really excited! I wanted to make your first swap as fun as possible... I hope you like the little extras I threw in  I want it to arrive NOW!

After being in this swap I was totally psyched about making pin cushions and signed up as an angel for the Sweat Shop Swap. I forgot to talk pictures before I mailed out, but I made five Four Leaf Clover wrist pin cushions. Really spiffy.

Finally, I have pics of what my wonderful partner charliebrown sent to me!!  She and I both are practical people who really use our pincushions a lot, so, knowing that, she sent me a "Helping Hand" pincushion!



It is a wristpincushion as well!!  Here is an action shot!



AND, if that was not enough of a great swap package, she added a wonderful needlebook, which I have wanted for so long!!



Thank you so much--of course, the pincushion is totally covered with pins now and is joining my lovely pincushion from the first swap!! YAY!

I love all the detail on your helping hand!

I am in awe of embroidery--the stitching and the details, like the buttons, beads, lace, etc. are just exquisite!! 

I wish I could have one of each of the pincushions in this swap!!

Love the teacup and the musical note that I must have missed earlier!!

Man, there is so much talent and creativity here--in such a little item that means so much!!

Here is the wrist pincushion I got from tofuttibreak





I have used it several times so far and it works great

yay! aren't those wrist pincushions the most handy things?  What an idea--I think I would like a whole set of fruit ones, mmmm--watermelon, lemon, orange, kiwi

nice idea to add embroidery to the fruit!!

I had the sweetest swap angel for this swap, gebah! She totally spoiled me with not 1 but 2 pin cushions! I actually decided that they were too cute to use for now so I have them pinned up in my cubical at the office. They now join my tea, bread and cup cake stuffies.

Aren't they adorable?!?!



Thanks Gebah!!! I really love them!!

[alwaysinmyroom]

Gebah did such a nice job!!  They are cute and well done--love them both!!
