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!

Covered Tin Swap, 2009

In 2009, many members of CQI participated in a Covered Tin Swap. The tins were mostly about the size of an Altoid mint tin, but some (depending on the country of the participant and availability of tins) were slightly larger or smaller. They were decorated on the inside and out, and swapped with each other one for one. Sit back and enjoy some lovely eye candy - crazy quilting, needlework and creativity at their finest!
