Maybe I won't be picking at that part of the seam with my tailor's awl to get it all lined up. Thank you, thank you!
Exactly - you won't be needing the awl if you press everything to one side. I just made another one and embroidered the first initial of their last name on it. I made some banana muffins to put in the basket and will give it tomorrow. I see that I need to learn how to center the embroidery in that spot. :roll:

I used the ruler in the pictures because I had it, but you can use a dessert plate or something like that.
I am thrilled people are liking this idea. I saw it in another post here on the board and loved it myself. The QB is a wonderful place for sharing! :thumbup:

Thank you, I will definitely make this, I am always using a linen towel to keep the bread warm.

Another item of interest that I learned while learning to weave baskets, that is the one art that has not yet been industrialized. Every basket you pick up to fill has been handcrafted. A homemade recipe covered by the handmade breadbasket liner makes it a very special personal gift.
