COVERED TIN SWAP, 2012

In the summer of 2012, Crazy Quilting International held a tin swap.  The idea was to take an Altoids tin, or something similar, and cover it in crazy quilting.  Participants were also challenged to finish the interior and perhaps include some “goodies” for their swap partner.  There were a lot of participants, but not everyone posted their pictures. You will agree, however, that the ones shown below are lovely and clever!

Lovely work by an unnamed stitcher
 
This cheery tin (above and below) was stitched by Donna for Sandy


Donna cleverly used a lovely trim on the sides
 
Susan B’s tin for Hollie. Can you spot the initials?

Shannon stitched the beauty for Theresa

Here is the side view of Shannon’s work

Pam created this lovely tin for Hollie.


Mary was the lucky recipient of this gorgeous tin by Susan

Even the inside is beautiful!

Kristie stitched a beautiful butterfly for Shannon
What a luxury interior!
Cathy K made this tin for Susan R

The interior of the tin is from a vintage padded lining

What a lively and original tin Pam created for Kristie!

Pam even included feet on her tin!

I agree, I have wanted to try it since I first saw them I would love to know
how to attach to the tin.

I have not made one yet, but this group meets on Facebook - look for Crazy Quilt International. Some of the members there may have created one.
