Woo hoo - my pincushion has already arrived! I have opened it and can report that it is fabulous but I will not share a picture until 1st July.
That should rattle up everyone else - mine is made but not yet packed up and posted.
When yours arrives, please post here so your secret sister will know it has arrived safely.
Add your picture to this thread on 1st July (3 weeks today!)

All present and correct - after considerable trauma! Very well done everyone. I am stunned by the diversity and quality of these gifts. So much love has gone into each one.
Double brownie points to the person who had to make and send two - only you and I know who you are!
Jobs a good'un (as we say here in the north of England)

140717YEAH!!!!!!!!!
The lost and last one of the pincushion has arrived. How cute is this. Thank you SS for making sure I would receive one and going through the trouble of creating a second one.The post office had lost the first. For that reason alone it will always be special for me knowing the effort that was put into it. THANK YOU so much.
I love the fabric you used and that cute mouse character. Nice how you did the back, like a pillowcase with a snap. I am a very happy camper.

As moderator I should have know where to post it correctly, but I was so excited and wanted to let my SS know, that I lost my way around Cute and posted it where ever I happened to be at that time. Sorry. For right now I will leave it in both places and will delete the first one later

I still have not received it, but I am hopeful. The mail lost the 1st shipment, because SS had tracking number which claimed it was delivered on 6/23. Well it was not delivered to me. My caring SS said she wanted me to have one and would send a second, but that was after 7/4. So I am sure it will arrive shortly. I will post as soon as I receive it.
Thank you SS for going through all that trouble. Hugs even though I do not know who you are.
11927Has the last one been located yet? Hate for someone to be left out.

Well, that would save one from using their shirt when on the move and separated from their pincushion -great idea!

Cutest shopping bag I have ever seen. Great idea and lovely use of Miss Veronika's designs.
318455I love my Pincushion and I have already put it to good use storing my USB sticks in the center compartment!
My Secret Sister used two of the Cute Sewing Mice on opposite sides and then did my initials in the Button Alphabet on the others; but she didn't stop there! She also embroidered the various needle types and sizes along the top edge! How handy is that?!
Thanks so very much, S. Sis for this fabulous gift!!! And thanks, Sue, for organizing this swap!

This is so attractive and will still look lovely when being used! Great job, SS.
96275Love mine. Darling mice on all four sides as well as something in the bottom to weigh it down. And the pins are labeled for using when you need to identify different parts of a project. Very clever idea. Thanks SS. Hugs. Nan W

Love the fabric you SS used - looks like it matches your sewing room very well!
11927As you can see, someone did take on board the suggestion of using the button alpha -a great idea. Thankyou to my secret sister -I love my M pincushion. It's already done some travelling to work for show n tell, where it received much praise :)

7528I just have to say that the pin cushions posted so far are just amazing. What a talented bunch you all are. I am so sorry that I could not join in.
255050Okay, and here is my pincushion, it just love it too much. Isn't it too cute ? My secret sister even wrote the number of the design on the package so I can look it up ont the website. Very clever of here, didn't think about that myself.
All the pincushions are so lovely. When I accepted the challenge I had to think deepy what kind of pincushion to sew, because we needed a design from cute web site. But when I see all these nice results,...
Hey ladies, I must say we do are a creative group.. Aren't we ?
All well done.
Thank you Sue for this nice challange.
And by-the-way.... Happy cute birthday to you all !....
Now time for birthday cake ...

Your SS really knew your passion. Fits you to a tee and is absolutely adorable.
76409Wellit's 7.15am Friday 1st July and as Australia and the southern hemisphere is awake usually first, here is my little pin cushion. As I said in my cryptic message earlier it's a real 'porker'. I absolutely love it, thanks to my secret cutie who made it for me. It will take pride of place on my sewing cutting table, once my room is cleaned up. I'm in the middle of a few different projects. Love Chris

7528Our postman came today at midday - but no Pincushion - I'll have to wait till 1st July and the postman doesn't come till midday! Love Chris
P.S. Whilst I was out this afternoon our Parcel Post man delivered mine - it's an absolute porker! Love Chris
234497764091941Hope the last few gifts arrive tomorrow - getting excited about seeing them all!
1407171290Still waiting on mine, but I've got a day to go! Love Chris

234497Have received mine and it's magnificent and posted my ss's yesterday..
45918I have sent one and received one -thanks SS and thanks to Sue as well!
23163When I checked my box yesterday afternoon I found that my surprise had arrived! It is darling and I love it. Can't wait to show it off when we post pics.
11927Well guess what was in my mailbox this afternoon...you guessed correctly...my pincusion has arrived and it is so special...of course I opened it... :)
31845511927My beautiful pincushion arrived today. My SS did a beautiful job thank you SS
1440All finished waiting to go to post office for final journey. Marian
45918I looked out my front window and saw a box left on the light at my front door, How long it's been there I don't know. Postie usually drops a note through the letterbox if he has something to big to go through the letterbox, anyway the question now is will I open it or wait until July 1st. I think I will wait but the temptation may get the better of me. We will see. G
75281290My pincushion arrived from Denver today, and it is HUGE. I think that I have narrowed down the sender. :)
22595OMG!!! My pincushion is done, so I went to the Post Office to mail it. And I picked up mine from my Secret Sister. It is absolutely beautiful, I'm sorry I had to open it... But she didn't put her name on it. Is that the way I should have done it? I'm sorry but I put my name on the one I sent. Next time I won't. I don't think mine will ever see a pin, it is to beautiful. Thank you sew much Secret Sister. You will never know how much I love it!!! Kathy

It is suppose to be a secret but I have guessed the sender every time by the postmark and the kind of embroidery the cutie posts in projects.

.if I can ? ....yes I can... Extra challenge for me...

148911I received my Pin Cushion yesterday. It is a lovely addition to my remodeled craft room!!
96275It has got really confusing with two threads running about this so I've waved my Moderator's wand and deleted the other one. Sorry to those of you who have posted on that thread in the last day or so, Please could you post again.
140717Finished mine and will mail next week when I return from camping with the grands. Hugs. Nan W
11927I had a day home sewing yesterday and have finished it. I will post it soon! Love Chris
234497I received mine today and will send one tomorrow! Thank you Sue for another fun exchange.
173693318455Mine is finished and sent out. This is one of those fun projects that should have been easy - but, I had trouble with it!!! Silly me! Laura*
96275I figured out my problem. I had put a stitch line around my design and back and the front was not correct one side was 1/4 bigger. Ugh... back in action, has to mailed ASAP. yeah!
173693Having a play around with some designs. I'll leave it till the last minute I think! Love Chris
234497Mine is ready for posting which will take place later in the week, I look forward to seeing all the photos on July 1st. G

16529I just received my pincushion and my secret sister went well beyond just doing a pincushion! Wow! What a great gift! Thanks so much Secret, Sis!
70755Just curious Sue - do you know who your secret sister is or do you have a designated "matcher upper" so you're in the dark as much as we are? LOL
By the way, my pincushion is being mailed today... whew*

70755Mine is done but I was waiting to mail so my Secret Sister wouldn't be tempted to open. But now I will send and let her decide.
22595Oh, Sue. I thought there were rules. You opened before you posted?
