This fabric bowl was made as a host/ess gift for some dear friends. I learned the technique from a friend who learned it from Hilde Morin. Darts are cut into the perimeter of a sturdy canvas circle fused over with base fabric as ground. Zigzag stiches close the darts and pull the sides of the bowl into life. Additional fused fabric pieces add design elements. Machine quilting secures everything and provides an additional element of design.
