I love them, I have made them too, it is so surprising how much material the bowls take, isn't it? They are so much
fun to do. I do a rutching flower at the end of the row and
that turns out really neat. I worry about making them for
people, because I had a rude person say, they are cute but
I don't know what I would do with it. So, it made me
wonder if people would really like them? I do!

All 3 of them was a gift to my 3 daughters for their birthdays.

jdeery - I'd love to see pictures of your ruched flowers. I have no idea how to make them. Maybe something I could learn.
Like you, I've made many bowls and everybody loves them! Some people ask what you use them for and I say, "to put STUFF in" :-) Whatever, they buy them. Think I've probably made around 100 of them since April and have sold all but 3 items. Takes me about 2 hours to wind 100 ft. of rope. About 1 yard of fabric for 100 ft.
Got my beginnings from the "It's a Wrap" book and went on and did my own thing from there. I don't make lids for bowls - I think they're superfluous (sp?) Even made a couple of funky flowers.
