Bee a Brit Stingy pincushion swap

I received another piece of post this week that contained my Bee a Brit Stingy  pincushion swap. The Bee a Brit Stingy doesn't start until January but we were all keen to take part in a little swap before then, so we were all tasked with making a pincushion. Mine was made by Jan. 

Pincushion and thread catcher from Jan

As you can see Jan made me a small pincushion with a birdie stamped on the linen.  The reverse of the pincushion was made with some fab fabric and Jan also made me a small thread catcher.

Thank you Jan, they are very  cute and I am  already using them.

In the same swap, I made a pincushion for Catherine.

I used vintage fabric along with some retro fabric. I was really taken with those needles and cotton reels.

All in all, I have had some great post this week and I have enjoyed both this swap and the Paramouthy Stitches swap. 

I am away next week as it is our half term. As we are going where there is no only sporadic internet I will probably be able to access blogger but I am afraid that I cannot do the techie bits that allow you to blog from your phone so I will show you what I am up to on the sewing front, once I return.
