Pincushion Swap

I'm mailing out my package for the pincushion swap (from the sewing board on Ravelry.com). My "swapee" loves bright colors: pink and oranges and also fall colors. My local fabric store was lacking in bright pinks, but this bright orange caught my eye. I also made a thumb pincushion to go along with the square one.

We're supposed to add extra goodies to total around $15, so I went to our local Made in Oregon shop and found some fun things that represent Oregon:

• Apple/Hazelnut Butter (Oregon is a leading producer of hazelnuts - evidently Oregon grows 99% of our nation's hazelnuts according to this site)

• Jar of marionberry jam

• Oregon Rain Lotion - Mango Coconut

• A bar of dark chocolate from Ladybug Chocolates

• A couple of postcards depicting gorgeous Oregon scenes

I'm excited to get this mailed!
