November 2013 PINCUSHION & NEEDLECASE SECRET SWAP
#221
Oh my goodness. Talk about my brain being out to lunch. lol.... I just happened to look at the requirements of the materials to be used, and I did not make my pincushion with cotton. I will make another today, but it won't be the same one. I will keep the other one, but at some point I will show you what it looks like or maybe not. lol.... Ok, I might be a day or two later getting mine out after all. Have a great week everyone.

It's not yours lynnie, but sweet of you. Your velvet still has a lot of cotton. Mine was different. I have already found another fabric, and tonight if I can I will do my best to get it done. The other one took me longer because I did a lot of hand embroidery on it.

Even though you all are so kind, I will have to make another, because my husband wants it left in the house. lol.... I am serious he does. I think it's because he seen how much fun I had making it. He is sweet that way. I promise to do my best on the one I am sending, but it will be totally different. Hope my special partner likes it. Later when I have time, I will still put a pic of this one. Then all of you may be glad you didn't get it.

JuneBillie - I received a gorgeous witchy pumpkin from Argentium for last month's swap. It was made out of felt or wool (I swear I asked! Old-timer's I guess LOL). I loved it! The material wouldn't be a hold up for me either. But - if hubby wants it to stay home then it must be special. Please do post pics later.

The original requirements were for 100% cotton or wool felt because polyester dulls a pin or needle (craft felt from Michaels and Joann is made with polyeste.). However, I think most of these cushions are being used as decorative items. I will add a line in next month's participant info sheet if they are using the cushion for daily use or for decorative purposes. (I know when I first joined last summer I received cushions made out of poly and one from upholstery material.)
If you haven't mailed, the due date for mailing is Nov. 22nd so you have plenty of time.
