Fabric basket

Hello there,

I just wanted to share the fabric basket I made this week. I found so many tutorials for fabric baskets. Here is the one I made it from: http://sometimescrafter.com/2009/04/tutorial-fabric-scrap-basket/ 

The only change I made to this pattern is I added medium weight interfacing to the lining and Heavy weight sew-in interfacing to the exterior fabric.

I selected the same fabric for lining and exterior.



Here is the finished basket, which is 4.5" in depth and 5.5"width. It will fit nicely into my IKEA dresser :-).



Hope you had a fabulous week too :-).

Love,

Jyothi

Safety Pin Quilt Block

Hello there,

Hope you are enjoying your winter. I just can't wait to get rid off this winter. Its overwhelming with kids getting sick and can't spend much time outside or in front of the machine.

Today I will share a fun mini quilt I did this week. I found this cute little safety pin block on craftsy and fell in love with it. HERE is the link for the free paper piecing pattern. Thanks to Kitty Wilkin @ nightquilter.com, who shared this amazing pattern.

At first, I wanted to make a bag using this block. But somehow I was in the mood to quilt and it was fun to do the free motion quilting after a a while. I finished, quilted and bound the block in less than 2 hours!!!!!!!! It did make me feel so relaxed and lighthearted :-).

I used a floral fabric from the same color combinations. Finshed size is 13"x10"

Isn't it pretty????? It is already on the wall right in front of my sewing area. It will be a great inspiration for me :-).

Hope you are enjoying your creativity too:-).

Love,

Jyothi
