Details of swap:Tired of the tomato? Sick of the strawberry? Join the Pretty Pincushion swap!
In this swap, partners will make and send 1 or 2 pincushions. Indicate in the questionnaire whether you'd like to make 1 or 2, and I'll do my best to partner you accordingly. (If you write "I don't care," be sure you mean it!

)
There is no size guideline since the time crafting a pincushion varies depending on how much detail you put into it. Just be sure to put your best effort and time into crafting a pincushion that your partner will love and that you'd be happy to receive. Because this is meant to be an easy and no-stress swap, extras are
not allowed. The purpose of this swap is to relax, have fun, and get some cool new toys to stick pins into!
I'll be doing weekly check-ins, so be prepared to post in the thread at least once a week. Communication or lack of will be noted when I leave feedback. Plus, chatty swaps are more fun!
Note that I reserve the right to refuse swappers with a history of poor communication or consistently sending late.
You must email me when you send and when you receive, and you're required to provide a DC# (if sending within the US) or a receipt (if shipping internationally) when sending. You also must post photos upon receiving. (If you have camera issues, please ask your partner to take photos before sending.) Everyone's creations deserve to be shown off. If you don't post photos, I'll make a note of that when I leave feedback.
One last note: I'll update participation status and feedback in the evenings, so if I don't get to you right away, I'll get to you at the end of the day.

Let's make some cute pincushions!
