Last night I sat down and got organised for my pincushion swap which the lovely
Kate has organised. Seeing as though the kids have just started school holidays I thought it best to get it ready before all the rushing around of activities for them both. My swap partner is receiving the gray one which was the first one that I made. After seeing how cute it turned out I couldnt help myself and went searching for some more fabrics to make some for my sister and my mum! The pattern for the pear pincushion is from the Sewing Calendar 2010 and has some really lovely patterns in it. I am posting off my swap partner's parcel tomorrow so I hope they like it. Okay off to do some more sewing whilst the mojo is working!

Oh these are too cute! You're making me want to drag out my sewing machine right this instant :)
Gorgeous!! Where do I find this sewing calendar?
Oh so cute.
I am away from all sewing crafts at the moment; the pain in my sinuses caused my a malicious cold means I can't think straight and somethings would be downright dangerous - like rotary cutters! Of course, lack of experience doesn't help! LOL
LOVE!! That is the most gorgeous pin cushion Sue. Your partner will adore it for sure. I hope you get a great one in the post soon too. Thanks for being such an ace swapper. X
these are so lovely! i'm sure your swapee will be thrilled!
ha, that is very, very similar to what I am making- wonder if you have me!!! They look gorgeous. xx
Oh these look great! I'm involved in a pincushion swap too but hadn't yet figured out what to make. Thanks for the idea!
oh so cute! I could use one of these :)
These are so sweet! I might have to dig up a pattern for something like this... :o) Thanks for the inspiration!
So cute! I like the pink/purple one the best!
Those are just the cutest things I've ever seen.
Sue this is just gorgeous!!! Great Job...
Hugs - Jodie :)
Wow, they are cute & make great gifts! You are clever.
What a super cute pincushion! They'll all love it :)
PS I know you as "snooks" and until I was on your blog today I hadn't realized you actually call it "knitter Sue." Now I see how close the two names are!!!
Oh, goodness. I have my head in the sand over this one. Gulp. Too scared to even check the deadline. (I will after doing some breathing exercises involving a paper bag). Lovely pair of pair of pears! If you get my drift.
How lovely! No wonder you had to make more, they are perfect for Autumn swapping!!
These are SO CUTE!!
This is so cute!
Looks great - well done:)
They are so pretty!
How special are your pin cushions, I'm going to have to rethink mine. Yours look so good.
I really like your pair pin cushions, great design and choice of colour.
I love the pairs of pears! Your swap partner will be thrilled!
These are so great... just catching up on a few posts. Would like to eat your pincushion.
those are GREAT - I love 'em!
These are the most beautiful pincushions I've seen in a while! Great work!
Amazing! They are so striking looking. Even just perfect as a decorative piece.
I have been checking out all the pin cushions in Kate's swap and I had to stop and comment when I saw yours. Great minds think alike! I made a pear pincushion for my partner too! I didn't have a pattern though, so just winged it. Your look lovely. :)
