Mattress Pincushion & Tin cover

Just read that Viv received my SFE(small finished Exchange) of ILCS yahoo group. Her theme for the exchange was celtic. Stitched this design of Joan Elliott which was finished off into a pincushion on the book, i made it into a mattress pincushion instead.

Finally finished my monthly challenge for the Tin Cover. My very first of this kind of finishing. My piece isn't really centered but my fault as i haven't left enough fabric for the finishing. I hope to try another one soon. This design is part of Summer Season of LHN.

Today, we had to part with this VW transport. We had it for six years but i never drive it as i find it too big and i wasn't use to manual. We bought this Chrysler in exchange and it's automatic. Do have to get use to it. If neccesary when DH isn't around i borrow my MIL's car which is quite small and automatic.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog especially to those who take the time to leave a comment

the tin topper is really cute! You did good! I still haven't done that item for the month. Not sure I will get it done!!
Your new van looks nice! I am sure you will come to love it!

Oh I LOVE the Celtic pincushion. What book is it from, please Mylene?
The tin topper is so cute too.
Nice new car. I didn't drive our old one either, as it was a huge Isuzu 4x4 - not sure DH will let me try the new one. ;0) I'm much happier driving small cars. :0)

Pretty Celtic mattress pincushion and a lovely tin finish too

Hey, don't worry over the centering of your tin -- at least you are brave enough to try. I have not attempted a tin -- I keep figuring I'll end up with glue in terribly inappropriate places. ;-)

Your exchange piece is beautiful!

Love the pincushion. I hadn't seen the celtic design before, it was perfect for it. Your tin topper turned out great as well. Enjoy the new van. It looks like it will be much easier to handle once you get used to it.

Ugh - I never driven an automatic.
