In the Fall 2006 issue of Quilting Arts magazine I saw the article on Fabrication Collaboration which included quilt artist Desiree Vaughn and some photos of these gorgeous fabric bowls she’d made.
Unfortunately, the article didn’t go into how she made them, but I figured I could create something similar with some heavy interfacing and some shaping. The fabric itself was rescued from several pairs of old jeans, which were stitched down with a zig zag stitch done with topstitching thread. I left a bit of a selvage visible so that I could fray the edges of the denim as I went.
Joey’s been asking me to make a fruit bowl for ages, so I’m hoping this will fit the bill. The bowl comfortably holds about 6 to 8 apples so I think the size will be just about right.

Very Cool bowl and I especially like the frayed edges!
