your boxes turned out awesome. I just did a swap from a fiber arts
group & some made those & some made the "dream boxes" all turned out
real great. Here are mine:

obviously I made the dream holders, but I got the treasure boxes from
others in the swap. I adore them because they are just so cute & tiny!
good work!

My boxes were a hit! I wish I'd started earlier so I could have played
with
more embellishing ideas. I have several more cut out, ready to embellish
when needed. Maybe I'll play with those after the holidays!
KJ

Those are really adorable! Good job!

Those are adorable! Or maybe I should call them beautiful. Whatever they
are, I really like them. I'm nearly caught up with Christmas things, so
maybe I can get to work on some this week. They look like so much fun!

KJ - they're just gorgeous!!! I'm going to play with this pattern after
the holidays and see what I come up with. I think these would be really
pretty in reds for Valentines Day, and the perfect size for a wonderful
chocolate! Thanks for sharing.

OH yes! They would be great in Valentine reds and I know for a FACT they do
hold chocolate!
I had fun making them, knowing they were something "different".

Gee, thanks Pat! If I had another week or two, I'd do them for my Christmas
table. But my quilter friends are probably more apprciative than some of my
family!!!

Thanks again for sharing these KJ! I have made about 7 so far. I'm
not embellishing beyond the pretty fabric and fun multi-colored thread
to zigzag them together. I'll try to get some photos and post them
soon! They are the center of my Christmas giving at the moment, with a
little Lindt inside!

KJ What kind of interfacing did you use? I tried one with Timtex, but it was too stiff. Nancycog in MD

Just use a 50 weight Pellon Stabilzer. The Timtex IS too heavy. I fused
wonderunder to two pieces of fabric, fused it to the stabilizer, then ironed
the freezer paper pattern on top, and finally cut out the box shape. The
stabilizer is just enough support. If you look at this picture,
http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/...53918257xHycip you
can see the thin stabilizer (white) showing between the two pieces of
fabric. I plan to stitch over these edges or lightly paint them. Haven't
decided yet.

about quilters vs. family. LOL
