Selvage Pin Cushions for Blog Readers

I finally finished all the pin cushions for my blog readers from last month and they will be in the mail tomorrow.

I had 16 people comment on my giveaway blog but some of them were no-reply so that I could not contact them directly.  I asked for everyone to send me their mailing addresses but I only heard from 10 of them.  One came to the shop and picked up her pin cushion, one is in guild with me and I am taking her pin cushion to her at the next meeting and one is a customer at the shop so I can hand her the pin cushion.  That leaves 7 to go in the morning mail – one to Australia and the other 6 here in the U.S.

I made extras so I will have quick little gifts ready.  With these, I think I have made about 40 of them.

  6. My great friend Diana was after some selvedges, so I sent her a whole heap (sewing all those little suckers together doesn't interest me at all and I used to toss them all out) and then when I met her at a girls getaway weekend in Queensland, Aus late last year, funnily enough, she gave me my selvedges back again...but made up into hexagon coasters....she's over selvedges now! You did a great job of the pincushions, and I hope the other 9 people who received them loved them.....as I know the person whose blog I came here from loved hers! You have way more patience than me hun. Hugs Naomi your new follower so don't be leading my astray now!

  8. Melinda ~~~

    Just wondered if I happened to be the person you mentioned that is in the guild with you that you were going to bring the pin cushion to. I just love pin cushions and posted about it 'way back when'. I was just looking through your blog (LOVE it btw) and all your ideas and it reminded me that I didn't receive the pin cushion.
