Jenny Bean's Pin Tuffet
by Shakespeare's Peddler
40 ct hand dyed (by me)
with DMC threads
Finished as a tin topper
I lined the inside of the tin
I used ribbon, velvet ribbon and black felt
to cover the tin sides and bottom
It was Sally's birthday back in December, I had it in my head it was 14th, but I was wrong, I think it was 12th. Anyway, I didn't want to be late so I took a gamble with what I was going to stitch, and I started in October (I think or was it September), and finished in November I think, and then come December - I can't find what I had stitched - so Sally had to wait, and this is what she ended up with. I wonder if she's found a use for it? I love this design so will be stitching it again for me, I just need to dye some more linen.
I will had a birthday gift as a finish in my 2010 finishes as I will hopefully find it again, and be able to use it this year!
