JWstitcher –
This was a fun project by Kilmeny. Colours chosen were based on a friend’s Dutch Shephard dog, Charlotte. From her design, I created a collapsible box with five sides. Some pattern adaptation was required for the adaptation I titled “Char’s box”. The finished piece was displayed at Seminar 2019 in Victoria, BC and gifted to my friend later this past summer. Kilmeny’s pattern was fun and a joy to stitch.
