Farmsisters,

Isn't this pincushion just adorable. I love it!
Fran you are very talented. I get so many compliments
on it. The way you have the little pair of scissors attached
to the cup handle is so sweet.
I will treasure this pincushion forever. Thank you so much
for making it for me. I love the pink fabric you used. It is
perfect!!!!

Thank you for posting pictures. I really wanted to share this
beauty with my farmsisters.

Hugs! and more Hugs! oh well, how about a few more hugs? LOL!

Afternoon, ladies.
I got Debbie's pincushion out to her earlier this month (I was soooo late! Iam horrible!) and she sent me an email saying she needed me to post pics. I don't have pics of the add-on gifts but I sent with it a collection of postcards from Ga & NC. A bar of homemade soap and a beaded bracelet & heart shaped ornament, both made by me. :)


I found the tea cup in a little thrift shop near here. Its a good bit smaller than a normal teacup but not as small as an expresso cup. I really wish it had a saucer but I thought it was soo cute! Debbie, told me she loves the colors pink & green and anything shabby chic so I thought it was the perfect base for her pincushion. My only set back was I couldn't find a cotton fabric that had a pattern that worked for me so I used silk fabric instead. I think it works way better than cotton could of.

Hey, Debbie!
I got it late yesterday & was waiting for some good sunlight to take the picture you asked for in your letter. My house is just too dark for good detailed pics & your pin cushion is sooooooo AWESOME! I love everything you sent, but Iam really impressed with the pincushion. :)

Iam almost done with your pincushion...Iam just not all that happy with the fabric I used. I think Iam going to be bold & use a silk fabric I have instead. Shouldn't take to long to make the change once I get off lazy bum. :D

I'll take that pic for you in a few minutes after I get my son's lunch put together.

I didn't join in this swap cause I don't know how to make pin cushions, but it is so nice to see you all posting with pics and thank you responses. More than other swaps I have joined - just waiting for a response that they even received it! Great job on this swap :)

Shannon, your package came yesterday, and WOW! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the pincushion - it reminds so much of some items my great-grandmother used to make. What a treasure! Also, I love the pineapple strawberry and the beautiful pastel dishcloth. The little tin of pins and note cards will sure come in handy, and so will the zinnias - I need them to companion plant with my kale to keep the cabbage eating beasties out of my garden.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and heartfelt gift!!!

Ladies,

Hi Kathy,
Ladies, you really have to have a look see at what this FG created! How cute is he??? Kathy, had no idea that I collect wacky frogs of all sorts. She really out did herself. The picture doesn't really show how cute he is. He's hanging from a spring green lily pad. He's body is out of dark green fabric & the pocket mouth is rosy red. How cute! You'd be able to keep sewing things in there. But the best part is his eyes that stick out. I was hoping for a pin cushion & instead received a addition to my collection. Thanks for your sewing skills, creative juices but especially for waiting for the mail!
I'll treasure him!!!
Hugs Judy

Thank You Kristen for the delightful pkg. A vintage biscuit cutter is perfect to add to my collection, canning season is just around the corner and the recipe keeper and cookbook will come in handy. I like the pin cushions I can store things in the bottom! I love your little seed packets, very clever idea!

Hi Linda :) I know I sent you an email but I wanted again to Thank You for my pin cushions. The Dodecahedron your Mom made is just so unique & your ice cream sundae is unique in its own right. Thank You again.

Roe,
Sorry to be so late getting your package in the mail. Walked it to the post office today and sent it off. While there checked the mail and found a package from you.

I wish I could upload pictures so everybody could see the fun surprises. 2 fun and fancy small hat pin cushions- they have buttons stuck in them with fancy pins, a small decorated hand mirror, and a tiny felt bag with a very old hand worked hankie with a gold pin.

Thank you so much!

Kathy

Denise, Received your most wonderful pincushion. I have never had anything that was felted before and am amazed at the difficulty it must have been to do this. Then it is toppped off with adorable felted flowers that have buttons in the center. And to think that all of it is hand sewn! So cute. I am using it right now and will keeep it always. Thanks so much. Joan

Hi Marilyn, So glad you liked your pincushion. I received my package yesterday and everything is so cute, love the pal pincushion, never had that candy before but boy it is good. The sachet smells sooo good I just wish everyone could smell this. Thanks for the chocolate candle too. And the cute little fence. I think I am going to put it on the front of a book that I make. Can't wait to have you for a partner again. Have a great weekend. Hugs

Hugs and Springtime Wishes
