My First Pincushion Swap

I have to admit, not only is this my first pincushion swap, it's my first swap ever.
Beaquilter called for people to join her swap and I jumped in with a "yes."
All I have to do is swap three pincushions with three different people.

And then I panicked. What the heck am I doing in a pincushion swap!
I started freaking out that the first recipient, Holly, wouldn't like what I made.
Maybe it wouldn't be good enough. Yikes! 

I then I calmed down and said to myself, "GET OVER IT!"
Sometimes I have to step out of my comfort zone, so I did.

Holly likes Tim Holtz fabrics and a little steampunk...




I survived my first swap...whew!
Now two more to go. I'll be fine. I think. Maybe. LOL

  7. I'm in the same swap, and had the same panic. You did great. Mine was a little simple, but I think okay. Love your pinnie and all the adds. What fun!

  8. Cute pincushions and needle holder. I must say though that it looks like you stabbed that little bird really good. Was that to keep him from flying away? :-)

  9. Oh, Carol! I so understand your angst over this. You want to do your best work EVER like they went to a store and purchased it. Is that it? But they couldn't go to any store and purchase this pincushion. It is made especially for Holly. It includes fabrics she loves and careful, thoughtful consideration by you. That is priceless!! I'm stressing over a day pack for my boss. Good grief, the 30-minute project has turned into several hours so far and I'm not finished yet. Thank heavens for your nice email/post. {{Hugs}} They all are SO very cool!! (And I know Holly loves them.) ~smile~ Roseanne

  10. You should be really proud. I think one of your pincushions will come to me before Christmas. And I can tell you, whatever you send will be perfect. I love all my pincushions, and I have lots, as I've been in that swap for years.
