My pinkeep exchange that is. This is what I sent .
The fronts
And the backs
I forgot to flip the little scissor fob, but I fussy cut a piece of that hedgie fabric so a hedgehog is on the back of the fob too. I'm not 100% thrilled with the bag's zipper. The bag is great, it's interfaced and lined (with a plain cream cotton that matches the polka dots) but the zipper... it's about a letter grade B. In my defense it is only my second zipper, and the first one is the one I broke my needle on. This one I managed not to do that, so it's a partial win.
Glamour shot of the pinkeep:
See that oh so cute hedgie on top?! He's a pintopper. Polymer clay on top of a pin instead of another plain ol' glass head pin. I had him specially made for this exchange. Now for credits:

Fobs aren't hard, I did that on my own.
Oh and the chart is a freebie (that I paid $5 for off of eBay, what can I say? I had to have it.)

Hi Missy – I can’t seem to find an email for you – just want to let you know that your squares arrived and I love them. It was very kind of you to stitch replacement squares for me. Thank you so much! -Cathy B
