Boxes to Go With Baskets, Judy


Here we have little quilted boxes: they are about 4 inches tall, 3 inches wide and deep.  The face piece is a total of 12 inches by 4 inches.  It is backed with timtex, lined, and densely quilted (about every half inch).  Then the little pictorial piece is made independently and machine sewn to the front.  Last, I make a bottom, zigzag it to the bottom of one face; steam-set the folds (every 3 inches); close zigzag all exposed edges; and then hand-sew the remaining four joining seams.  They are mostly made of fancy fabrics: lames, silks, satins, velvets, like those things.... (2/1/12)  Happy Valentine's Day Soon!
