For the past few days I've been incredibly busy. If it wasn't because of taking care of a good friends 7 month old daughter 3 times this week, or the awards banquet that my husband and I attended or answering questions for home owners when they called, then I was busy with things here at home.
The basket making class at the quilting store was fantastic! Talk about FUN!!! I want to encourage others to get out and take classes on everything and anything that interests them! This is a great way of getting out and meeting people PLUS building your own mental library of knowledge. Did I take this class with a friend? No, but I made 5 new friends while there. Looking at the fabric that I bought to work on in the class and what the others brought in well it made us all look at fabric in a whole new light. From subdued blue plaids to earthy colored fabric of greens, yellows, oranges and browns to bold primary colored stripes- all of these baskets were going to look great no matter what! The three hours was just too short! I came home ate lunch and then quickly got working on my basket as I was determined to finish it by dinner time. I made a large basket and I'll get pictures posted today.

can't wait to see- is there a book that has this technique in it? I'm sure I have a stash somewhere waiting to be used!
Scroll down and you'll see the book. All I can say is that it's fun! Part of the process can be done while watching TV with the family. Then when you have some time to yourself, sew it up! I highly reccomend the book (you can get it on Amazon.com). Make sure to stock up on glue sticks as this craft is going to be addicting!
