Nice haul Pat! Which shop was it from? I guess I didn't win anything.

I'm not sure, but I picked it up at the PolkaDotPincushion. I think all the shops get together and then pick names. This is not the big basket from the shops and I don't remember seeing buttons at PolkaDot. The mug was the gift that you got if you completed all the shops. If you got a rain check you might want to check to see if yours is in. Mine was in the bag. Whatever shop you circled might have it.

I totally forgot we were supposed to get a mug, now I have to remember which shop I circled lol!

I enjoyed seeing the beautiful Spring time pin cushions and needle books for April. And I have my first needle book to carry in my sewing tote. :-)

And the many beaded pins are something else. I would hate to pick a favorite.

Have a good day everyone. It looks like another cold one here but the spring flowers have made an appearance so things are okay.

Good news! I have heard from our last two swappers! Two more packages went out last night and show arrive by the end of the week. The final package has not mailed yet, but she promises it will go out by the end of the week. A few missed deadlines are not great, but if everyone ships I will be satisfied. As long as a swap is made up of humans, it will not go perfectly.

Thanks for the update lauriejo. I will be checking the post office on my way to the doctor. It just might be my lucky day.

Have a great day everyone. Maybe we will see lots more pictures soon.

I'm glad that there will be more packages soon. I just love seeing the pics. It was cold this morning but has now warmed up to 58. Now I never know what to wear to go out. My heat is off and on and off again. Have a great day

Hello everyone. It is my lucky day. I had a beautiful needle book, book mark, and special note card waiting on me at the post office from Bernice/brod71. Thank you so much Bernice, it all is so so pretty. There are so many pretty details she put into all of it. The note card on one side has a New York Fabric picture of the Empire State Building. The needle book, and book mark match. Inside the needle book is a very pretty butterfly pin, and other embellishments of flowers, and a Easter Egg. The outside fabric is so pretty and spring like. Ok, here are some pictures.

The note card feels like a little padding under the building fabric, and a nice note written on the other side with stitching around it.

Oh, my husband said the little butterfly is actually topped off with a bead like for a head, and a crown to make an angel. Isn't that sweet.

Those are nice, JuneBillie. I love it that they are personalized.

Here is a picture of the tiny cathedral window I was attempting earlier. It's about 1 1/2" X 1 1/2". Far from perfect, but kind of cute.
