I just found this basket at an antique store in Indiana yesterday. It was sitting on top of a big old bookcase and calling my name to take it home, so I did.

It has a latch on it and opens up, so cool.

What an awesome find! I will carry it to the quilt guild meetings also.

Love It....
Great find ....

What a find!! :thumbup: I love your new basket & I am sure that you will get a lot of great use, carrying it with your project supplies in it. Great Find!!
:D :D :D :D

Oh my gosh -- I LOVE it!! :D :D If you should tire of it, let me know :D :wink:

Also have you seen the Redmon baskets that were made in Peru, Indiana years ago, they are hard to find. Here is a picture of 2 of mine, nice to store fabrics or projects inside of them.

Thanks SulaBug! Yes it is so cool and will carry it to guild meeting Monday night to take my pincushion that I made from hexagons for show and tell.

Thanks sewjoyce, if I do will let you know since you live close to me! ha ha

Have you seen the redmon baskets, I just posted a picture of 2 of mine on this link.

thanks bopeep

Love the baskets!!!

That is awesome :D:D:D

great find.

Nice baskets!

Nice basket. Love the double 'doors'.

Craftybear, I have the twin to your bottom red one. Bought it at an antique store for $5.50. It is in perfect condition. We use it as our picnic basket.

I had never heard of the Redmon baskets - they are beautiful! :D

I found one on ebay that looks like yours:

What a great find. It looks like it has lots of space.

Hi,

Yes the redmon baskets looks like the ones that I posted in the picture and usually on the inside it says Redmon. I found another one at an antique store yesterday but didn't buy it will go back later and buy it as they are hard to find.

Will have to save $ as hubby has been unemployed since July 2009.

Yes, they hold lots of stuff and very sturdy. I have found some at second hand stores for $2.00 and boy did I grab and hold on to it. As they didn't know what they were giving away. I held on to it as I didn't put it in shopping basket, was afraid someone would take it out of my basket, ha ha

Oh, cool basket and what a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

I use baskets, plastic storage bins, wire baskets (such as freezer baskets) and wooden baskets. I'm a firm believer in storage containers or all sorts.
