Crazy Quilt Box
Hi!
Here are 2 photo's of my Crazy Quilt Box front and back. I am almost done with it but thought I would allready share it with you. I ran out of the red strip of cord that is on the sides, which should also go on the lid of the box. I had a piece left but it was missing 2 inches to complete it....Isn't that ironic...somehow that is what seems to happen a lott of the times! So going to the store today to buy some more!
Yesterday I bought a great book that I thought I would share with you. It is called Ribbonwork The complete Guide by Helen Gib. I haven't read all of it yet but ..wow.. It has great pictures of antique ribbonwork...techniques in detail and some great projects. I am totally in love with it. So when I bought the book I bought some more ribbon too, so I am all ready to go! This book has really inspired me.
Here is a link to her website:

And this is a link to the book I bought http://www.helengibb.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=hg&Product_Code=107&Category_Code=100
This weekend we are going to our Cottage, so I am going to try to prepaire a little piece of patchwork to do some ribbonwork on.
We are all ready to go for our Crazy Quilt RR so that is what I will be sending out today...! Then we can get started...:-))

What a cute box Barbara.
I've never seen a box like that, how neat.
I've never seen a box like that either - it has a really neat shape. And, you sure have put alot of work into each panel. Sorry to hear that you were 2" short of fabric - that can sometimes bog you down a bit.
Enjoy your time up at the camp.
Cheers!

I've done CQ and I make boxes, never thought of the two together.... Thanks for the inspiration
That is a beautiful box. I really like the red, and the torso. You are going to think of something really special to put in the box.
You do such wonderful work, Barbara. Too bad about the trim shortage but you will work that out, I'm sure.
I think the box is really pretty - it'd make a nice gift for people hard to think of presents for!
Wow what a beautifull box that is.
Your box is just beautiful. Would love to make some thing like that one day.
I think ribbon embroidery is very pretty but I've never tried any myself.
That box is gorgeous! Hope you find what you need to finish it.
Hi Barbara, what a cute box...I love the look and the shape of it!!
Not sure if I posted a comment or not, but I absolutely LOVE what you did with your sewing space! It looks like a whole new room, very fresh and clean and pleasant...great job!!!
Very best site. Keep working. Will return in the near future.
