Description:

I'm sure that many of us creative stitchers have joined Pinterest by now! (If not, and you are interested, send me a message and I will be happy to send a link to "invite" you!)

I think it would be fun to choose a small pattern/project from your partner's embroidery/needlework/cross stitch board to complete for them! The completed piece should fit onto a 6x6-inch square of cotton fabric. Before I assign partners, you will need to "clean up" or prepare your Pinterest board dedicated to needlework. There should be at least 5 appropriate choices of free patterns from which your partner can choose. I'll give a nice long sign up time of 2 weeks to allow for this.

Here's how it will work:

*When you sign up, please post a link to your needlework Pinerest board in the comments below. Be sure to make sure your board is up-to-date with at least 5 small free patterns from which your partner can choose. Check here if you'd like to learn to make a clickable link.

*Once partners have been assigned, check your partner's Pinterest board and choose a pattern to stitch on a 6x6-inch cotton square. (Of course, you are welcome to purchase a pattern that your partner has pinned, but this is not necessary, as your partner should have at least 5 free patterns pinned.) I will give a month to stitch, in case your summer is as busy as mine has been!

*Be sure to rate your partner fairly once you receive your project in the mail!

Any questions? Please ask! And, have fun with this!

My Embroidery Inspiration board is here ... you are welcome to work something for me that is only loosely based on these with your own added flare.

Thanks for joining this swap! I'm loving seeing all the embroidery pins on your boards! @Dansari feel free to join! This group is a beginner's group, so you are totally welcome! :)

I wouldn't mind getting a patch that is inspired by my pins... loosely based with flare appeals to me too

I just became addicted to Pinterest, but have plenty to chose from. My embroidery pins are under "cross stitch"
