My Life Adventure

January 9, 2008

In our Surfacing group we are making Little Treasure Boxes to swap.  The pattern comes from Quilting Arts magazine.  They are addicting!!

The first one I made will never venture outside my studio.  It was a mess with the stitching.  I LOVE the look with metallic thread but I HATE the way it breaks and shreds.  It ruined the first attempt. 

So then, I tried again and I am much happier with this one. 

I have two more ready to cut out and then I have to wait for a shipment of more timtex stuff.  I have no idea what to put in them but who cares!! They are fun just sitting around.  They make me smile!  The two I'm getting ready to cut out now are for gifts for two friends of mine when we get together on Saturday for a "girls' night out".  I'm thinking I'll get a couple of very extra dark chocolate Lindt truffles to put in each one.

I'll be making many of these I imagine.

This is really cute and I think the truffle idea is great, the girls will love them. By Karen - 1/10/2008 5:59 AM
