Lunchtin for Mum

My Mum celbrates her 60th Birthday tomorrow, so I decided to make her a lunchtin for my 3 boys to give her.

I have been wanting to make one of these for ages, but have never gotten around to it. I decided since she is a patchworker, I'd like to try and incorprate the patchwork side of things somehow into the theme of the tin, so got my sewing machine out and before I knew it, had come up with the idea of patching the pieces of the Recollections papers together to create an effect that tie in with Mums hobby.

I am quite pleased with how it all turned out. I hope that she will like it.
