Now that the Pincushion Swap is all wrapped up, we thought we'd share some pictures of the lovely little treasures that were sewn and swapped by DCMQG members. First off, thanks to Susan (@fullerbydesign) for being our fearless swap leader!

There was some great variety in types and shapes of pincushions that were exchanged. I made a couple of collages from Instagram pics with the #DCMQG hashtag to showcase the work of our guild members! First up, the more geometrically-inspired pincushions.

All in all, some gorgeous handsewn things were made and swapped. So, what should we swap next? Pillows or mini quilts? Small bags or needle holders? Let us know your ideas! If you're not on Instagram already, follow along with us @DCMQG and share your inspiration. I think I've officially caught the swap fever just from looking around Instagram. Have you caught it too?!?
