I have already bought one book that was reviewed in this series, "Modern Patch Work" by Elizabeth Hartman. It has inspired me to put a quilt on my soon to do list. There are several other books that are now on my radar for future purchase.
I looked through my own books and found one at the end of the shelf. It's called "Fast, Fun & Easy Fabric Boxes" by Linda Johansen. Linda has an interesting way of putting the boxes together. She uses stiff interfacing, sandwiched between two fabric layers. Then the sides are folded up, wrapped across each other, and finished with a satin stitch. Here's my attempt at a recipe box for my niece, Jennifer.
This satin stitching around the edges was a little tricky, but not too hard. I think the hardest part will be filling in the Recipe cards for Jennifer's bridal shower. (I'm not a great cook.)
I love boxes of all kinds, and now I'm going to have to make one for myself.
Happy Sewing!
