Mini Basket Challenge

Remember the mini basket challenge Temecula Quilt Co hosted in July? You can see the adorable quilts they made here.  I used one of those little Moda 'candy' sets (2.5 inch squares) to make my baskets, and I was only able to get 16 out of the pack.  No worries~ I loved making the mini baskets! They finished at 2 inches! :-)

Here is my mini~

I'm sorry but I was so excited to get it washed and crinkled, this is the only photo I took before tossing it in the water! :-o  You can't see all my little baskets very well, but all 16 are in there! :-)  My petunia's are bigger than the baskets. LOL

Today I am off to quilt a top for my Mom. Wish me luck as inspiration has not struck yet! :-)

Have a happy week!

Happy Friday!

The weekend is near, do you have plans? Do they involve sewing or quilting?   As for me, I hope to do a bit of piecing, but we will see what happens. Weekends are always busy at my house. ;-)

First up we have~

Last month I worked on crocheting dish cloths. Since I love them so much, and so does every one I know, I kept crocheting until I had used up all the yarn and extra bits I had. It made quite a stack! 

This month, I made little net scrubbies to go along with some of the dish cloths. Again, I just kept my hook busy until I used up all the net I had. :-)

I've now packed the hooks back away and need to figure out a different project for August. LOL

To be inspired with Christmas projects, be sure to visit our hostess~ Anthea @ Hibiscus Stitches

I was caught up with my Nabby's Dowry blocks until this morning when the next one came out. LOL

And finally~ I have 16 baskets for Temecula Quilt Co's challenge.  I used a little 2.5 inch Moda candy pack and ran out of squares, so I think I will stop here and hopefully I'll be able to make a cute little project with them. :-)

Have a great weekend!
And happy stitching!
