Walmart here finally stocked the good cotton clothesline rope after I went to the store manager and said the dept manager said Walmart didn't sell that and never has and I showed him the receipt of the one I bought at another Walmart. It was sold out in less then a week and now it is restocked regularly. That dept manager gives me the evil eye now. LOL

Choosing fabric for baskets
are always nice. I have found that 'black' in the fabric shows up well. I buy fat quarters
and if yardage is available, I buy 1/2 to 1 yd. of fabric depending on how much I like it.

I have made lots of the bowls/baskets. Have also made hot pads and coasters. I get my cotton clothesline at Walmart, it pretty cheap. I have tried the nylon clothesline, but it doesn't hold the shape as well as the cotton.
When Walmart was sold out (I have cleared out the 3 Walmarts near my house several times), I tried Harbor Freight. When I walked in, I asked the young clerk where their clothesline was. He looked at me and said "what's clothesline?" I couldn't believe my ears!
