I received Hand-Stitched Boxes by Meg Evans in yesterdays mail. Cheryl Isaak had mentioned it to me, and I am glad she did. It is a marvelous book. Lots of beautiful illustrations and project ideas. I'd always wondered how those were constructed, thinking I needed to save small lidded boxes to create these, but now I see you build your own.
...something to keep my mind off of our smashed car.
Deb :-)
I'm so glad to have enabled you. A little plastic canvas, floss and fabric and you're off to the races... C
Yes, well I am sinking deeper and deeper as I turn the pages. To heck with the car!
Deb :-)))
Happy, a simple one to start shouldn't cost the earth! plastic canvas isn't dear and a fat quarter is pretty cheap....
Floss you have... C
Hi, Deb -
That looks delicious. I've made several boxes and they're easy and inexpensive, but make VERY impressive gifts! I got this instruction book from Nordic Needle, which gives excellent step-by-step directions and might be an additional source of inspiration:
Thanks for the link, Sue.
Deb :-)
And how soon is that headed to your house? Cheryl
If I keep this up, I won't be able to chide my DH for some of the frivolities he buys... Deb :)
Go for it girl
