To my delight, I won one of these amazing boxes in a giveaway that Dave sponsored on Thearica's delightful blog' Pigtales and Quilts.
I have always loved the Tumbling Blocks design and that is the block pattern in this spectacular Quiltbox which Dave made with Bird's Eye Maple, Elm burl and mottled Imbuya wood. The box is perfectly made with the lid having a smooth, but tight fight to the box, and every inlay perfectly pieced. I just wish my quilting blocks had such sharp piecing and striking colors!
While I'm definitely keeping my beautiful Quiltbox, I do believe any of Dave's handmade Quiltboxes would make wonderful Easter gifts.
They'd also make great gifts for Mother's Day too! Not to mention a perfect gift for anyone who also loves quilts and/or fine quality wood workmanship.
On the other hand, you may also want to get one for your jewelry, or other items you want to store in a special box. What ever you store in them, or how ever you choose to give them as gifts, Dave's Quiltboxes will certainly be treasured for many generations.
And there are many beautiful designs, in a variety of sizes too. Plus, Dave continually comes up with new quiltbox designs. I love all of them! I hope you'll pop over to Quiltboxes.com to check them out too, as I do think you'll fall in love with them too.
Thank you Thearica and Thank you Dave, very much. I love my Quiltbox! And I will treasure it always.

What a wonderful win. It is gorgeous. I will go have a look at his site.
Those boxes are really nice. When my husband gets his tools down here in Texas I am going to have to bug him to make me something.
It's beautiful, useful, and is made in the USA. It must be perfect! No wonder you love it.
Darlene,
