Modern Swappers bundle -- done.
For the Modern Swappers swap, the person sends a handmade item, something for the sewing room, and at least 1 1/2 yd. of fabric.
I used this tutorial by Oh Frannson's Elizabeth Hartman to make a thread catcher/pin cushion.
(yep, there's a Hera marker
in there)These are the fabrics I'm sending -- that check plaid by Momo (third down on right) is my new favorite...
And of course -- the pillow I've been working on.
Both my partners have similar taste; and I want to keep these pillows together... forever... but then I'd have more sewing to do (because I am not a flake), and I have enough to get done by December 24!
I hope they're both happy! :)
Steiger sure approves.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful goodies! They are lucky!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I love the pillows and your son is a doll!
ReplyDeleteFabulous pillows! I like the hexie one as a hexie :D
ReplyDeleteBoth of your packages are going to be well received! I love everything that you are sending off. I feel your pain, splitting up those pillows. They do look like they belong together!
ReplyDeleteI think I may have to pick up one of those Hera markers! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMomo IS FABULOUS isn't it!!!
The pillows came out very nice---they are going to adore them.
I love the button in the middle of the pillow; that's a great idea. I'm sure your partners will be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteLucky, lucky swap partners!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited, I forgot you hadn't done your GO! giveaway yet. I'll be here for sure. Sweet Steiger pic (as always).
Me, me, me!! I want that basket!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour swap partners have it made! The pillows are lovely and I will be checking out Oh Frannson's tut on the adorable pincushion/string catcher. I currently use a heavy bottomed cup that I constantly have to empty.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome are those goodies???
ReplyDeleteI agree, those cushions just belong to each other hey?
I love your pillows! They're both so fun, and I love the colors. I've been meaning to make one of the thread catchers. Thanks for reminding me of that tutorial!!!
ReplyDeleteoooo... I like that cushion thing! It may well be the solution for the "no pins on the leather couch" rule! :)
