I participated in a Pincusion swap with Jeannet from in the Netherlands.Who would have thought that I could have had a swap partner that I knew - Chookyblue...
so off I went busily sewing thinking it was great to be making for someone I knew .
Can you belive the shock I got when I also received a parcel from Chookyblue - this co-incided with my birthday, so I thought it could have been something else,... until I received an email from her to say "Ring me now" - I then learnt that it was SHE who was my swap partner. How funny is that - I was the most surprised as whom I had made for had also made for me.
What a lovely surprise when I opened her pressie. It was this gorgeous lamb pincusion and in felt - my favourite medium. This is a pincusion that I have wanted for ages - just perfect and still "Country".
Thanks Chookyblue
and I also received some lovely Cards & notepad - especially made by Chookyblue with her awesome photos that she takes.
This is the Pincusion that I made for Chookyblue.
A great fun swap.
Thank you Jeannet for organising it.

They are both fabulous pincushions Dawnie. Happy Birthday.
OH my gosh what awesome pincushions - th wee lamb is so perfect for you! The pincushion you made for her is the cleverest one I've ever seen, that is too, too darling Dawnie!
Very cute pin cushion design of the bee hive, I'm currently trying to design a bee themed quilt myself.
I took part in a bee block swap, and now time to put the hive together.
Your sheep pin cushion that your received is also very cute. Enjoy!
what a great swap Dawnie and to find we had direct swaps..........so happy you like my lamb and I love the beehive.........already clamped beside my machine.............now to find some time to sew...........thanks so much.......
Both fabulous pincushions! I 've made a larry the lamb pincushion, it's one of my favourites!
Both pincushions are so great! Well done! I organised a reciprocal swap a few years ago for our local group and I didn't tell ANYONE. Imagine their surprise when they opened their gifts at our Christmas function that year - wish I'd had the camera at the ready ☺
