Description:

I've had this idea floating around in my head for ages... everybody makes a cover for a 14" pillow- sewn, crochet, knit, felt, etc, whatever way you would like to do as long as its handcrafted! You would have only one partner and only have to send the cover so postage would be less. You can gear it towards your partners favorite colors if they have it in their profiles so please everyone fill out thier profiles!!!

I love making cushion covers out of old clothes, would this be OK? Also is it ok to be international?

user4462 12/ 8/2006 #

all are welcome and recycling old clothes in good condition is great.

I would love to make a cushion cover! Can you all please put your colour preferences though - mine is anything but yellow or orange!

Also - if you want a cute one for a little girl or something for a baby or you like a certain animal that would be great to know too ...

I am excited about this swap! What a cool idea!

I am re-decorating my bedroom, and am in need of pillows! This is so perfect. The colors for my room are all shades of brown, teal/aqua, and pink!

I am fairly girly, a bit funky, but not cutesey like a little kid....

I am excited to create a master piece for my partner!

RachelB 12/11/2006 #

Oooh Heidi - I hope I get you as I have tons of ideas and for Flouncy - I have something totally perfect in mind ....

How big is 14" ? And is this international?

user4462 12/12/2006 #

Yes this is international 14 inches is 35.56cm hope that helps

user4462 12/12/2006 #

wouldnt mind doing this one a month or every other month then I would not have so much trouble trying to find ones I like for my house. What does everyone else think? and those who havent please list an idea on favorite colors and characters or themes so if the person doing yours chooses to gear it towards your likes it would be more helpful to them thanks to all

RachelB 12/12/2006 #

HELP! I signed up for this swap and now I seem to have been dropped from it - got any ideas why?

Rachel

user4462 12/12/2006 #

not idea why I think the sight sometimes screws up it did that to me once before I just checked and it doesnt have you listed and it did before so please sign up again. I did not delete you off of it so you need not worry about that

RachelB 12/12/2006 #

OK resigned up as long as you only have me on your list once! Dont want to commit to two cushions! Love the idea of doing it every couple of months too - great idea

Rachel

user4462 12/12/2006 #

Rachel your only on the list once so no problem there. Do you have any preference or ideas for themes you might like?

I'd love something blue and brown. And I love little birds!

RachelB 12/21/2006 #

Oooh well I would love either something REALLY little girly for my daughter (aged 3) who has a 2 metre mural of Cinderellas castle in her room

Or anything )as long as its not Christian) in warm colours!

Drewel, I also have something just brilliant for you in mind! Totally perfect!

I would love something in deep jewel tones -- blue, ruby, gold, emerald etc. I don't much care for neon brights or pastels.

RachelB 01/10/2007 #

Heidi! Help! I havent sent - I am getting worried my account is being messed about with! Can you change it to not sent?

Rachel xx

RachelB 01/14/2007 #

OK I finished mine and will probably post it tomorrow, when can we upload to the gallery?

Rachel xx

RachelB 01/18/2007 #

OK - posted it registered today and put a picture in the gallery - before you leave a no-posting please remember it has a long way from Israel which is why I posted it early! Hope whoever gets it likes it!

RachelB 02/16/2007 #

I dont think I would do this one again because of the lack of communication, shame because it was a great idea and would have been fun but it went very quiet
