A basket case



Summer. Blazing sun, hot and humid. Time for small projects. My great teacher Marganit showed us how to make this cute basket, and I whipped it in a day


It's so rewarding to be able to start and finish a project in a day or two. Usually I spend weeks on one quilt. It's really great to see results so quickly, gives you a boost and energy to start another project. Maybe some more baskets - different sizes and shapes?



This basket is for my lovely daughter-in-law Y. It measures 12x6 inches.
The pictures were taken in my balcony at 08:30 in the morning. Look how sunny it is, already 30 degrees (86). Like I said, time for small projects, light books and cold icy drinks in the shade.

    Cute basket - very summery! I agree - it's nice to have a quick project that finishes in a day or two sometimes, especially when you're working on something big.

    Very cute pouch Noga! My mother-in-law has a pouch with one of those metal rulers as the top closure.
    It's been more than a month, where are you?
    p.s. Hot here too.
