Today is pin cushion making day! I have just declared it! I have picked out 3 -4 patterns I like - now to make them and decide which to send - or maybe I'll just have to send more than 1!
Here is a link to 60 free pin cushion patterns, for those who may still be procrastinating.

I believe my package to you will be at your door today! Yes I made two.. The round one was just a test. And it passed. I will be making that one again and again.
Ladies, can you please post some photos of what you have received???
Linda, that is a nice link. Lots and lots of great ideas.

Package is all wrapped and ready to go. My DH will mail in tomorrow for me. His truck is off the road at the moment, so he takes my car every day to work and to do the school run so I am stuck at the house most days now. You should have it soon. Photos are enclosed as well.

Kathy, I got my pin cushions and they are gorgeous! I *LOVE* the heart one especially with all it's little artsy details :) Thank you so much. I am going to take my pins out of their make-shift pin cushion and put them in my new ones and then I will get some pictures tomorrow when we've got some daylight. You did a wonderful job!

Thank you Siobham, I am glad you like them. I had wanted to fill the heart part way with some crushed walnut shell. To help keep it steady. But my husband would not let me open the bag. See, he uses walnut shell to blast paint off car parts and other metal item. But the shell is also very good in pincushions because it helps to keep your pins and needles sharp. He had some sand too but it was used. And I did not think anyone would want used sand with tiny paint chips in a pincushion.
I received yours yesterday too. Honesly, I don't know what I love more, the pin cushion or the letter you send along with it. And you are right, I too almost never make things for myself either. I love the pins you made. I will use them only on my most special items. I hope you join in more swaps. You did a fantastic job. You are a wonderful swap partner!
I can not knit. Well, I can knit a very little. A scarf is all. I need to find someone I can knit with. Someone to teach me a little more.

Hey Toni . . .
Yours is done ... I think it is CUTE!! CUTE!!! My hubby said "GOOD JOB!!. And everything is all packaged up . . . BUT I have to work every day (7 AM-7 PM) until Tuesday afternoon. AND, we have been SLAMMED big time with snow. So, I won't get to the post office until Tuesday afternoon, at the earliest. But I will let you know when it does go out so you can be watching.

Kathy, I'm so glad it got there safely and that you love it :) I'm still waiting for the sun to come out here. It's very overcast and early still. I will take some pics of your sweet pin cushions and post them :)

OK...here are some pics of my wonderful pin cushions from Kathy!
First off, here is my current "pin cushion" I have been using for who knows how long.
And the new pin cushions:
And finally, the cute little valentine (front and back) that she sent with the package:
 
Thanks again Kathy! I now have not one, but two pin cushions and feel like more of a farmgirl already!
