Pretty Baskets

In between making quilts I like to make little things, these baskets were such fun to make and so easy.

I had these left over fat quarters of Delilah fabric as the print on them was a bit big to put in a quilt so I saved them for a future project not having a clue at the time what I would use them for.




Then when I wanted to make the baskets I knew the fabric would be perfect.




This pink basket is so pretty. Having 4 males in our house I like a bit of pink just for me.


















The blue basket is the biggest and I have all my threads stored in there for my stitchery project. (more on that later)

I plan to get a bit of sewing done today as well as baking for the boys lunch boxes, what do you have planned for today? I hope it involves some sewing to. Have a great day.

Your baskets are lovely, Leanne .. I really love the fabric. I am doing school and housework this morning and hope to stitch in the afternoon ... haven't done any for 2 weeks.

I love the baskets Leanne, a great addition to your sewing room. I will file that idea away on my long term to do list. I have got to drag the vacuum cleaner out for a bit today and then continue sewing on my current to do list!

Beautiful baskets & so useful too. That Deliiah fabric is gorgeous & your right, too pretty a print to cut up small. Have you succumb to any Vintage Modern yet? I'm thinking it's just as lovely as Ruby - maybe even better! Tracee xx

Such a nice baskets Leanne, they look very handy to put little projects in. I'm going to quilt my Henrietta Whiskers this evening as Bart and the big boys are going to the football-match.
