Variation on a box - I was playing with other designs to use to quilt the fabric box design I showed the other day. (I think this celtic knot is from Kreative Kiwi.) Instead of stitching across the corners at 45 degrees to make the box shape, I stitched them at about 30 degrees to give this bowl/basket shape. I do like versatile designs!

Very cute and creative...Love the Celtic Knot, is it one giant knot or did you sew 4 of them?

I love it!!! I especially love the colour and the celtic work.
Today I have three hours respite and I have fabric packed to make a fabric box at sewing. I'm so looking forward to making something special but I'll stick to my plan and make one of the other boxes. This pattern calls for more elegant fabric than what I've chosen.
Thank you so much for all the inspiration you send my way.
AlmaG.

oh my goodness - this is absolutely lovely! The stitching of the celtic knot shows up so beautifully - thick thread or bean stitch? What a nice imagination you have to have even thought of this. If I could find my big hoop I would be tempted to play too. Note to self - clean sewing room!

Fabulous new twist on this design.....reminds me of a Chinese take out box only much prettier....the thread art on it is perfect, too!

A certain person was snooping over my shoulder when I was looking at your latest creation Sue and I heard little whimperings along the lines of "Oh, that is gorgeous and would be perfect for my Easter basket gifts. Perhaps you could add a little handle across the top."
I replied, "Gorgeous and perfect it may be but handle or no handle, I shall not be adding it to my lengthening list of jobs!"
The smack around the back of the head was worth it!
I do agree with Mrs. M., though.

This looks great, the color and the design are beautiful. I think it was a big challenge, to find a design which is not destructed after sewing the corners.

Not as difficult as finding one that would go nicely into the corners!
