I find that I'm always on the lookout lately for suitable patterns for tin tops. The fixed size makes it a challenge sometimes. Over-one allows for a more detailed design in a small space, so that means designs that fit in 56X90 stitches are always on my radar. I was just lucky to spy Barbara's design and discover that the motif is just perfect. Luckily, Barbara's designs are light on fractional stitches which is critical for over-one stitching.
Wendy may decide to store a tatting shuttle in the box if one fits, but I tucked in a little scissors she can store in it if she likes.

One more pretty finish of the Altoid tin! Both your stitching and finishing are just perfect!
How cute!!!! I just love your little tins! You do such a great job with them!
I loved so much your altoid tin with the House on a Hill on it, that I had to find an altoid tin. Well, it took me a while but I found one at a store, so I have started the design over one. I did the house in original colour, but will do the rest of it all as you did. Thanks for the great idea!! Anne
Your Altoid tin covers are gorgeous!! Do you take commissions?
