Chocolates and Apples!

This is the beautiful hanging that Michelle made me for the food theme in Exchange Heaven. The stitching is perfect and just look at the apple fabric isn't gorgeous.. I love it and it is hanging in our conservatory which is my little room!



This was my effort for Sue. I actually covered a tin.. It wasn't as difficult as I thought although I think I should have used a hot glue gun to attach the stitched piece to the top.. but as the backing was card double sided tape worked.



And of course I could hardly send it without chocs inside!!

Hi Chris,
I loved the tin and the stitching was perfect. I'm afraid I loved the chocolates too and now they've all gone.......
