The perfect gift for a busy quilter
 

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

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.

Oh man that rocks!

Those are just terrific, you did a great job, thank you for sharing. Have a Blessed day Ellen

Yes it is, and I just love how you included the fabrics in a color wheel! Beautiful.

Your fabric box is absolutely beautiful! Your friend is so fortunate!

Fabulous gift idea. I will PM my address so you can send one right over. :D

Happy quilting!

Oh my gosh... that is just one of the prettiest and most useful things I have ever seen....!!!

It is amazing. I also love your fabrics!

It truly is the perfect gift! Does your friend know she was the inspiration for such a practical, pretty gift set? All your boxes are wonderful. I oohed and ahhhed at your other post showing your whole variety. Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us.

How fun and such a wonderful idea!

Those are beautiful. Are they hard to make.

Really pretty and very thoughtful! I want one!

Beautiful showcase for the goodies placed inside. Great gift idea!

Geta, you never cease to amaze! I love your creations!

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

what a wonderful gift, she is very fortunate to have a friend like you

Did you have a pattern or tutorial? Stunning results.

With a tag line like "perfect gift for a busy quilter", I half expected to see something like an extra 24 hours or so in a week with no interruptions! Would that it could be....

That is wonderful!!!!

I think that is a fabulous gift idea. I just found the "fabric" boxes to die for, but with all the cute stuff inside, even a non-sewer would fall in love!

That is an absolutely fantabulous gift! The colors, the selection of threads, oooooo! I want one!
Will you please please please do a tutorial on how to make the boxes. They are awesome.

What a nice gift!!! The colors look so good together. Good photography!

That is awesome. I do have a friend that keeps hand stitching in the car. She does it while her husband drives or while waiting for him while he is running an errand.

Count me in! I love it! I want one! Tute please

that is just lovely! almost too perfect to use!

My thoughts too. 100%.

Thanks for sharing.

Your creations are awesome...I really love the ones with sections in them!! Great colors and ideas.

You are so sweet and creative. Your friend is very lucky.

THat is pretty much adorable! :D

You are a "nice friend"....:)

Man! I would so love to receive a gift like this. What a wonderful idea!!! Everything you need in one small package!

very Cool !!

This is beyond perfect!! I would be so thrilled to receive a gift like that! We have the tute on how to make the box itself, now we need a tute on how to make all those compartment seperations :rolleyes:

Wow Geta, I absolutely love the color range you have there. I am not a hand sewer but having something like that would make me want to give it a try. How did you get that beautiful range of colors and all those hex's? Do you make those sets to sell or did you just make the one for your friend?
The more things that I see that you make the more I am impressed by the things that you do. I am completely mesmermized by the trapunto sphere that you made oh my gosh that is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

That is a terrific gift. Are you goof to share the pattern information?

It IS perfect.....and I'd love to get one. But I personally think a "perfect" gift would be a gift certificate at a local restaurant that delivers.........ROL! I DO love those boxes and am planning on trying them soon!!!! :) :)

Geta -- I just bought one of your books ---- the trapunto technique is SO intriguing!

What a great idea for a gift........ would love to make some of your boxes...... better idea I can send you my address and you can send a couple to me as I am sure your will be much nicer then any I would or could do.....lol

A fabulous idea for a gift! :)

This is a wonderful idea for gifts. Thanks for sharing.

Very clever idea.

This is a fantastic idea.....and yes, what a wonderful gift! Kudo's to you!!
