Another Quilted Box

Today, I am sharing a quilted box that I made yesterday, as a small thank you gift 
to a kind lady who has donated me this piece of fabric, plus some other lovely
off-cuts, mainly used for making blinds.
One of my friends who I used to work with, knows this lady through her local U3A.
She happened to say to her one day that she would like to
find a home for these off-cuts, when my friend mentioned about my 
new sewing hobby!
I have been given a bagful of gorgeous material, lots of different designs
which I'm really looking forward to putting to good use.
Now I just have to wait for this crisis to be over, so I can meet my
friend for lunch to give it to her. 
 
You can see the three others I have made HERE, HERE and HERE

I do love making these boxes, especially as it was my very first sewing project that 
Claire from Beautiful Things taught me last year on her Beginners Sewing class.

She is currently offering a selection of online sewing courses, which you can find 
on her website, as well as plenty of free tutorials which you can find on her
YouTube channel HERE

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

    Really like that, a good use for heavier fabric scraps too. Sarah

    What a wonderful little gift Janice. I would use it as a small bin to sit on my desk for putting the backs off of tape and foam pads and small off cuts of paper in.
