Fabric Box Workshop

I have just got back home after spending a fantastic day at a Fabric Box workshop at Dillington House.

We had the best tutor in Dee Wallis who teaches lots of things from patchwork and quilting to wall hangings, boxes and bags.

I was absolutely delighted with my box so I shall definitely be seeing Dee again - next time to make an Etui box which is a Victorian Sewing box. Thanks for looking.

Fabric Keepsake Box

Well, it's been a little while since I last posted because I have been busy crafting. My good friend and neighbour, Inga, threw me a curved ball last week by asking me to make "something special" for her son and his financee who are getting married in Baden-Baden, Germany, on 9th May.

Trouble is she didn't know what she wanted, except that it should be something they could keep and that they were leaving to go to Baden-Baden this Saturday!!!!!

Having had a sleepless night I thought a fabric keepsake box would be just the thing and I would be able to finish it in the time frame. Also I had in my stash some beautiful embroidered silk material that would be perfect.

When I had finished the box I had some fabric left so I also made them a matching wedding card.

I gave them both to Inga when we went to lunch on Wednesday and she loved them - so I was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Thanks for looking.
