For my pincushion swap partner
I have to tell you ladies, I am enjoying this swap! I sent my partner, Sinta, the pink and green pincushion you see above. I decided to make these Giant Pincushions. You can find the link here to the tutorial by Julie of JayBird Quilts. What a great pattern! So easy to follow and I just love the size of these babies. I also sent Sinta the bag in the picture below that coordinates with her pincushion.
And just for the fun of it, I sent our dear Kelly the yellow and blue pincushion and bag. Kelly is such a dear friend to me, I thought she deserved a little surprise in the mail.
The extra pincushion, I made for my mom. Mom seems to be missing her pincushion. So, this is going to be a little birthday present for her.
I really enjoyed making both of these projects and would recommend both to both expert quilters and beginning quilters alike.
I have heard from 1 other participant that they shipped. Don't forget to let me know! The deadline to ship is March 26th.

I filled my pin cushion with the walnut shells and it can be used as a door stop! Dang! Is it ever heavy! I hope to have mine out the door by next weekend. Give or take a day. Yours came out so cute; but I already told you that. :)
I am sure the recipents of your beautiful pincushions and bags will be delighted.
