I participated in a pincushion (+other goodies) swap on one of the Ravelry sewing boards a few weeks ago. For the swap, I made a pear pincushion from Heather Bailey’s pincushion pattern set for Stacey. I had a fun time playing with fabric combos and ended up using the woodgrain because my swap partner’s husband is a woodworker and has just started building their dream home.
I received this lovely package from Vicky. She put together a wonderfully themed package on spring gardening with lots of flower, spring and bee hive related goodies. Isn’t this flower pot and bee hive pincushion set adorable?
your pear pin cushion is beautiful!
i love the matchy leaf pins too!
what a fun swap - ravelry is so good for so many things!

Swaps are so fun! The pear you made is so pretty. I love theh little leaf pins. And the beehive and potted flower pin cushions are so cute! I love how quilting and sewing groups have snuck into Ravelry.
