Pincushion Swap Unveiling

I was the lucky recipient of Hilde's pincushion in the Swap I took part recently.  But's not all; she also included a box of Clover Patchwork Pins as well as a packet of paper hearts for paper piecing.



I love the "mushroom pincushion" with the little hidden compartment in the base. Perfect for small odds and ends (like the band-aid Hide put it in case of an emergency). She also put in a couple of cute buttons and a length of lovely ribbon. Thanks very much Hilde!



And this is the pincushion I made. It went all the way to Val in Brazil. 


I hand pieced it using the English Paper Piecing technique then hand quilted it.
Thanks Hilde and Hilde for organizing this swap. I hope it wasn't the last time ;). If you would like to see more lovely creations go here.

Happy Sewing!
Vreni

Lovely pincushions Vreni. You really enjoy all those tiny projects dont you. I must take time to make some tiny things when I have met all my targets. Only 2 scrapbooks for my sis & sis and a quilt for my friend's special bir'day. Then.........:o)

So pretty. I thought the top one was a sun hat, maybe it is a mushroom wearing a sun hat!
Love the one you made too!

What a wonderful idea to include a bandaid with a pincushion -- very clever! They're both just beautiful -- what a great swap!

It was great fun organizing the swap. There were so many beauties crossing the oceans that we have to do this again next year! I can see Hilde spoiled you! ;-)
