Flower holder
For those of you who like to make small, different things for Christmas
and other presents: Earlier this week I popped into a florist's. On their wall, I saw a beautiful purple, silk-looking 'thing'. I asked what it was for. Carrying gift flowers, she said. What a fabulous idea I thought! So: it was about 18" high/long, tapered from about 6" square at the open end to about 2" square at the closed end, with two fabric handles at the top. It was made from four tapered panels, simply joined on the outside. It wasn't silk! and wasn't lined. But, I thought, with all the ingenuity here, it could be made just like this, or conical, lined ... and so on. And a patchwork one would look so special. -- Best Regards pat on the hill |

Hello Pat on the Hill,
A business near here sells something like this, made of lovely fabric! It is simply a toe bag, lines with heavy weight vinyl. Every time I see one, I think "Gotta make one!" Decorator samples would be smashing and would have body.
