Finished as a tin. You can keep your stitching tools/accessories inside :) I lined the inside and top inside and added some detail :) I didn't think it was going to make it to the giveaway as my SIL came by and fell in love with it while I was in the process of doing the finishing. If you would like a chance to win this stitchy tin please leave a comment on THIS POST ONLY and as it is the weekend I will give my readers that visit from their workplaces a chance as well and keep the drawing open until Wednesday :) This is #98 towards my Relay for Life Goal :) How cool is that??? :) And YES I am really giving this away-I have already stitched one for myself 2 years ago :)

Susan said...

Becky - what a lovely piece - I would love to be included in your giveaway - I love this tin.

I do have a question about your finishing, but wasn't sure if I should send an e-mail, or ask you here, so I'll ask anyway!

When you finish the edge with that cording (which I've used myself), how do you finish the end of the cording? I always end up folding it under so it doesn't get frayed, but it ends up looking like a big nasty blob. I would love to know how to finish it off neatly, so if you could let me know any tips, that would be wonderful!

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

{{{hugs}}}

Lori Thornton said...

It's really quite nice. I admire your abilities in stitching and finishing! I tend to stitch a lot, but I often let the finished pieces sit around awaiting finishing. Like others, I can't believe you are willing to part with it.

Vicki said...

Love the tin! I would like to be included in the giveaway for this one. All of your work is so beautiful. If you have time sometime in the future, could you include some basic instructions for some of your finishes? I'm particularly interested in the cutting board finish. Congrats on being so close to your goal!

DonnaTN said...

This tin is wonderful! I wish I lived near you so you could coach me through the different finishes. I know practice makes for better results, but I sure get nervous getting out of my comfort zone.

As always, it is a pleasure to visit your blog and get inspired!
