Default The perfect gift for a busy quilter

I am glad you understand my "addiction" for the fabric boxes I posted here:

http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...n-t189227.html

I thought to share with you how I started to make the boxes.
I have a quilting friend, she is extremely busy and she can't enjoy quilting as much as she would like to.
How often would you put at work the sewing machine if you have only 10 or 30 minutes to sew? So I thought a kit with everything you need for hand stitching is great for a busy quilter.
I needed a container to keep all the pieces organized and I made this box set.
