An actual basket...hmm...ooh the awesome possibilities!! It's fun to browse my books, magazines, online...and ponder what to do, what to do... My only issue is my dil has told me if I had less fabric it wouldn't be so hard to get started on my projects. I'll give her that I often spend more time in the choosing of fabrics than I do in the making of project. But that's half the fun and all the mess...dragging out, putting back. Repeat, change mind, repeat. I guess there's always worse "problems" to have.
I did tell my dil one can never have too much fabric!

Here's just 1 link with 50+ basket ideas:

And Easter is the 27th. Just say'n.

Kiffie, some really nice samples of ideas there.
I saw some nice ones I want to make. I guess I should wait and see what I get first.
This at first was a problem for me, but after looking at Pintrest and making mine, I want
to make more now. Some nice gifts for the holidays too.

Shhhhh! You're gonna give away the reason I chose a Basket!

Aha! Teresa, your "secret" is out!

Lynnie, there are some cute ones, eh? As far as waiting to see what you get 1st, I know I've told you before I LOVE your tagline...er, probably a bit too much...now my secret is out..lol. I just posted for the 1st time over on the UFO Challenge thread. Didn't sign up yet, but posting is a start, right?

Hello my name is Kif, and I'm a quilting slacker! haha

Hi Kif!

didn't think I'd like this topic, but it's turning out to be a fun one.
I was able to use one of the embroidery designs I got about 2 yrs ago.
It had about 80,000 stitches in it but it's super for this swap.
can't wait to see all the goodies coming in on this swap. Can't wait to mail it and
see if my partner enjoys what I made for her.

My bad!
How does that poem go? "A tisket a tasket, a green and yellow basket, I wrote a letter to my love and on the way I lost it....."

Funny!

*When my kids, now 26 and 23, were in kindergarten, they had to memorize Nursery rhymes. They had a new one each week and if they were able to repeat it from memory, they earned a cute little paper badge. It was so fun! Now days, I notice that most little ones haven't a clue about nursery rhymes </dd>
