Yesterday's basket turned out even better than I had hoped. I might need to make a few more in this fabric combination for our shop, don't you think?
Slightly different, but every bit as lovely as the fabrics I was working with earlier this morning.

It has been a custom order kind of day here today!

I just started working with this beautiful combination of fall colored fabrics. I love how they are coming together. Now I just need to decide if I should make an Egg Basket or a Table Basket for our shop. I'm hoping that you will help me make the decisi

Remember the purple tote basket I was working on earlier? Here it is all finished and full of purples in all sorts of colors and patterns. The photo doesn't do justice to the scale of this Large Market Tote Basket. This basket is over eight inches tall
