Thanks for sharing this project, the step by step photos are terrific.<br /><br />I also took a look at your 'Tips' page and have to say a huge thank you!

It is a POWERFUL and heart-touching and sweet and beautifully crafted piece, all at the same time. <br /><br />I could not have said it better than Beadbabe when she wrote, "I am so moved by the emotional connection you have to your work...you've become a major mentor and shining light to me in the creative part of my life...thank you so much for your generous sharing of thoughts, techniques and inspiration."<br /><br />It is one thing to be an artist and it is entirely another thing to be able to teach those skills & share openly with others - a true gift. You do all of these, Robin. I am so enriched by your deeply expressive and enormously warm & open heart. For this I am extremely grateful. And I can't wait to see what you come up with next!!Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-25878473723943013362009-08-30T19:14:57.250-07:002009-08-30T19:14:57.250-07:00I love your box and am so glad you won both ribbon...I love your box and am so glad you won both ribbons. When a piece is made for the emotions it's a real added bit to win the ribbons as a sort of agreement to the piece. I love your tip of sewing down the fabric over the piece to keep from snagging your thread so much. I just have to tuck that one away to try for myself.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-89549522597148915182009-08-30T18:11:47.215-07:002009-08-30T18:11:47.215-07:00Beautiful.

It's lovely and so appropriate for your theme, I'd hate to see you pack it away in a bag, but understand the need to keep it clean. If it was me, I would want it close and handy to rifle through.

This post just blew me away -- first of all, i think it's a beautiful way to connect to your parents and to house special mementos. Wow.<br /><br />Secondly, I like thinking that the best in show is for the daughter's love and connection to her parents as much as it is for the needlework.<br /><br />And lastly, I will be forever grateful for the tutorial because I can just see this coming in handy one day...<br /><br />Bravo is right! xo susanSusan Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094024834053351944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-15174127893790236012009-08-27T10:21:43.838-07:002009-08-27T10:21:43.838-07:00Robin, I skipped over nearly all of your instructi...Robin, I skipped over nearly all of your instructions on how to build the box (for the time being) because the most important piece of this post for me was near the top: "It doesn't have to be perfect."
