These are not part of the swap but I did buy them from a board member. When they got here they were just like a burgundy one I found at a swap shop.Mine is in hiding in my sewing room.Arghhhhhh. But thought I would share. They are vintage and old but apparently the chairs were made out of cans like coke cans and curled. SO cute. Just wanted to share.

I just wanted to say everyone did such a nice job on thier pincushions. Each one so different and cute! I would join another one barbsbus.
In a couple days I will start another one. This was a lot of fun, I still need to hear from anyone who has not received a pincushion or had contact with their partner if it is going to be sent late. I have about 15 people's names without info if the pincushions were sent.

Sally's Girl, We did send PM's back & forth about the pin cushion swap thanking each other. I just haven't been able to post a photo yet for which I apologize! I will try to get that done tonight. Sally's girl made me a cute blue sunflower pin cushion that wraps around your sewing machine with velcro. It is a very clever idea and I really appreciate the wonderful gift!

Well I got my surprise in the mail today -- my pincushion along with a bracelet. Penny you did an outstanding job. (pgthom)
And yes I can understand why you were saying, "I hope it doesn't melt". It sure didn't. It's a sundae glass filled with buttons and a spoon handle inside and the pincushion on top that looks like the ice cream. It's Beautiful. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
