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 :)

user2661 09/16/2006 #

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

iwcquilts 09/16/2006 #

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

user1861 09/16/2006 #

handmade! :D

Paula 09/16/2006 #

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

user3381 09/17/2006 #

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....

user3381 09/17/2006 #

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

LOLA 09/20/2006 #

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.

user1627 10/ 1/2006 #

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

lamazon 10/10/2006 #

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 !

lamazon 10/10/2006 #

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

great idea..

LOLA 10/11/2006 #

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)

Paula 10/19/2006 #

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

user1940 10/22/2006 #

wolfmom2ac 10/27/2006 #

skenn 10/30/2006 #

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

LOLA 10/31/2006 #

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.

LOLA 10/31/2006 #

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

aawestbrook 11/ 3/2006 #

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!

sparkyanderson 11/ 6/2006 #

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

lamazon 11/ 6/2006 #

user4194 11/ 7/2006 #

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!

skenn 11/ 8/2006 #

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.

LadyYing 11/ 8/2006 #

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

lucyellen 11/ 8/2006 #

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!

skenn 11/ 8/2006 #

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!!!!

wolfmom2ac 11/ 9/2006 #

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!

LOLA 11/ 9/2006 #

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

user4191 11/ 9/2006 #

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

lamazon 11/13/2006 #

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

Miet

wolfmom2ac 11/13/2006 #

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.

skenn 11/13/2006 #

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!

sparkyanderson 11/13/2006 #

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

user4194 11/15/2006 #

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!).

LOLA 11/16/2006 #

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!)

user4282 11/16/2006 #

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.

user1940 11/16/2006 #

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

user1326 11/18/2006 #

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

skenn 11/25/2006 #

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

skenn 12/26/2006 #

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!

user2796 01/13/2007 #

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.

skenn 01/17/2007 #

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

skenn 01/29/2007 #

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

user2796 02/21/2007 #

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

skenn 06/25/2007 #

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
