Welcome to the Scrappy Pincushion Swap! This Swap is intended for online flickr friends with a passion for pincushions who would like to participate in a swap for a beautiful handmade pin cushion! This is a blind swap where you won't know who is making a piece for you, however, we will do our very best to make sure you are paired with a member who has a similar style! The identify of partners stays a secret until you receive your pincushion but you are encouraged to post sneak peeks and teasers. We want to make this as quick and simple as possible, so we are asking that you send only a pincushion (with maybe some scraps and/or pins). it seems that including all the extras are what slows people down in posting.

-Flickr name
-name
-address
-email address
-blog url (if you have one)
-are you willing to swap internationally?
-your sewing/quilting/fabric style
-anything you'd like your partner to know about preferences

We encourage you to make and post a mosaic of inspiration for your partner!

***************************************************************************
Here's an itinerary of dates to expect for this SWAP:
-email your info by NO later than June 6th.
-receive partner info by June 9th.
-MAIL your swap piece to your partner by July 15th. If shipping within the U.S., please use delivery confirmation.

yea jill! it really is a quick swap.
we wanted this to be something you could put together rather easily and send out in a small envy. easy peasy lemon squeezy!
that was why we said dont send extras, just to get them out quicker.
i think we are putting up a thread too for tutes and such
glad to see so many faces here after being gone all day!
badskirt, no problemo! ooooo osaka! are you buying fabric?? or is that a silly question?

I just looked - Ruth created a gallerly ( a beautiful gallery!) so i don't think she can post the whole thing in the group but her partner (and anyone else can certainly go to her photostream and check it out - and I would encourage everyone to do so - and I'm sure if she wants, Ruth can put those same pics in a mosaic and post it here.
