Aside from quilting I like to make boxes and sometimes I combine the two. This box with the appliquéd lid I made for Jess of Scappy n'Happy and she just emailed to let me know that it arrived in Australia.
Here are a couple more examples of boxes with appliquéd lids (sorry for the quality of the photos).
Tea Box
Small jewellery box
I've learned this craft from a friend a few years ago and during our time in Shanghai I taught weekly classes, mostly from home. I had a room set up just for that purpose, which was very handy.
Here are a few examples of boxes I or some of "my students" made.
I'm planning to put a tutorial together for the fabric covered box. Check back here in a little while. In the meantime have a happy weekend!

looking very lovely, those boxes are! Love the dolls on the top one
Your work is absolutely beautiful! Did you make the box for Jess just recently? You should teach it again as I know there are people in Singapore who would love to learn this craft. I am so much looking forward teaching the box making craft again when I have set up house in Sao Paulo, hopefully by the end of November.
Love, Hilde
