Oh...about your swap partner


pincushion swap

Thanks to all 28 ladies who signed up for the swap.  I am so excited to see everyone's pincushions.  Now there are just a couple of items to discuss before you get sewing, and I will make them brief.

First of all, EVERYONE has been sent an email with your partner's information.  Please check your inboxes and make sure you received yours, the sooner the better.  This time around, I set up the swap a bit differently than in the past.  The partner you are sending to is also the person who is sending to you.  For example, Sinta is sending to me, and I am sending to Sinta.  Feel free to drop your partner an email and get to know them...completely optional.  There is nothing that is a secret about your partner.

Secondly, I have set up a Flickr group for the pincushion swap here.  Feel free to add pictures of your master pieces, or email me your pictures and I will add them.  Everyone loves to see them.

LeAnn also let me know about Heather Bailey's pincushion tutorial, which you can find here.

Just remember, your deadline to ship is Saturday, March 26th.  Please, please, please get your pincushion out by then.  You are only required to send a pincushion, but a lot of times people send a bit more in their package just for fun.  Looking forward to your emails notifying me that you have shipped, Kris

I was hoping to get started tonight but I changed my mind. But ideas are brewing.

Great! I like the idea that we know who our partner is, so we can get to know them better. Thanks Kris.
