Description:

Encore swap! Pickle, pickle, whose got the pickle? There is a tradition that says-hide a pickle ornament in your Christmas tree and the first person to spot it gets an extra surprise from under the tree! I have wanted to do this every year since I heard about it! What better way to motivate me than make a swap! Who's in with me? This year we WILL be having the Christmas pickle tradition!

Feel free to use any medium of your choice: fabric, felt, knitting, crochet, clay, papier mache',...just please make a 3 dimensional pickle and not just a paper cutout.

No Newbies! I reserve the right to ban anyone suspicious, flaky, or otherwise a questionable swapper. This swap is for the talented, experienced, reliable swapper only!

These will be very light for shipping so this is an INTERNATIONAL Swap! (I love our Int'l swappers!) Welcome and Thanks for joining us! Go ahead and get busy on your pickle as soon as you sign up! I made the send time with plenty of time for it to arrive before xmas.

Houston, we have a pattern. :))

Trace or print onto paper, adding a 1/4" seam allowance. Stitch all the way around the pickle-right sides together leaving 2" gap in the back to turn/stuff. Pin a ribbon for a hanger on the inside to be sewn into the top. Clip curves. Turn right side out. Stuff firmly patting the stuffing down with your finger or the eraser end of a pencil. Pin opening shut, whip stitch closed. Add hanger if you didn't do so earlier and embellish with beads, sequins, embroidery-whatever suits your fancy!.
