Hello Everyone!

I just made this swap for US only (it is already in the middle of it...) So far it is going well and the postage was not too high, due to the pincushions being light, so I figured why not try my hand at an international version...

We will swap one bottle cap pincushion with one partner. Since there is only one to make and you only have one partner, make it a good one!!!! Make one you would like to receive!

You want your partner to use the little gem you make so please check their profile for colour choices (or the thread here, so please post! :D )

Ok, to recap: the COLOUR IS RECEIVERS CHOICE, you make one (1) bottle cap pin cushion for one (1) partner. (use a screw on bottle cap. They measure 3 cm across and 1.5 cm deep.... I say up to 4 cm across is save :D )

Please put a little note with it! Just say hello and who you are.That way your partner can shower you with thanks and their unending admiration, because you -you brilliant creature- just made the most awesome bottle cap pincushion EVER and shall be called Queen/King for the day!

You have three (3) weeks to make the little treasure, so make it breathtaking!

Right? - Right!

I found this tutorial for you to use, in case this is the first bottle cap pincushion you want to make!

Now to sew up the loose ends:

No ones in the last 6 months! Period.

No threes in the last 3 months.

Newbies are welcome with a filled out profile. (I will check)

Everybody else please have a rating of 4.9 or higher.

I will check everybody's profile as you sign up! So we should not have a problem with flakers. HOWEVER! (grrrrrr) should you get flaked on, let me know! I will angel it myself! (Due to postage you may have to wait for me to send LOL but I will angel! I insist on a one rating to be in place before I send out!!!)) If you would like to volunteer as an angel for this swap, please PM me. We all can do with a little help sometimes....

If you should have a problem, contact me, I am here to help!

Remember KARMA people and send your swaps!!!! It is no fun to get flaked on! I will ban any flakers from any of my future swaps! (and they will be AWESOME! So don't get banned!)

I am sending Emails to all participants of my swaps. It is easier for me this way to keep up with everything and in touch with the participants. If you do not like that maybe you should not sign up. This swap will have 4 emails.

I'm watching it (or will be in a few seconds) but what size is the cap from a soda bottle, and does it matter if it is a bit different? I've used 2 litre water bottle tops, which are 3cm across by 1.5cm deep (1.2" by 0.6") and milk jug tops which are 4cm across by 1cm deep (1.6" by 0.4") - all external measurements.

The bottle caps I use measure up to the ones you said are on two liter bottles 3 cm across and 1.5 cm deep....

I will add that to the description. Thanks for the question. I didn't think of measuring them :D

i like purple, but any will be fine. just have fun making.

Can I take part? I have only got a 4.8 rating so far. I went off and made a couple of these when I found this and think I am becoming addicted. Love combining them with my other addiction - cross stitch

@maroyau Your rating over all is fives. Only one 1 and it is longer then the 6 months time frame I stated in the swap rules... so I think it's fine if you join! :D

I will angel this swap, (please don't make me have to ;) )

Glad to have you!

I would like to take part, but I realize I am a newbie and hope you will have faith in me. Would you give me a chance to start building a rating?

Please feel free to use any of the following colours, alone or in any combination: blue, purple, pink, red, white, black, yellow. Thx!

MaliksMom 09/27/2009 #

Ohhh I've always wanted to try my hand at making one of these :D I really love the colour combination of red and turquoise/teal/tiffany blue/robins egg blue lol...

spinjenny 09/29/2009 #

I'd prefer not to have orange, yellow, pink or sludgy colours (olive, mustard, ochre) as the dominant colour, though they are fine as embellishment. Anything else is fine.

I love Renaissance stuff!!! So make mine something fit for a Queen ... or a Duchess. Or just something nice for a Lady :) You can never go wrong with velvet!
