Altoid Stitchy Box and Winner


I wanted to share a little project with you that I'm finishing. I stitched this 'Pumpkin Trio' free pattern I found at kreinik.com and thought I'd put it on an Altoid mint box. I still need some trim around the edges but you get the idea.

This will be a gift so inside I will put a magnet strip for needles and/or scissors and maybe some flosses so it can be used as a stitchy travel tin. I'm pleased with the idea, even if my finishing leaves something to be desired.

Now, for the winner of my 'herbal' stitchy pattern giveaway. It's....KAREN! Karen please email me your snail mail address and I'll get it out to you ASAP. ruparanoid2 at yahoo dot com AND since you mentioned it on your blog I might find a few extra things to send with it :-)

I have another giveaway going on. Please see my sidebar for info on my 500 follower mystery giveaway.
