I made this a while ago but in light of the current focus on recycle and re-use I thought it a useful idea to post. A simple idea and my first attempt at quilting so it is not well executed, but I also think it would be a great learning one for kids. It is a brick covered in padding and tough denim fabric with a hand painted and quilted design for the top.
Needed to decorate children’s room, needed storage, and had no money – but did have paints and shoe box. I painted it to match a quilt that my Mum had made and it stores all the cards my daughter has been given. Memories are all safely stored, fun for her to go through and looks great on a shelf.
