It just totally escapes them that I love doing things like this and they would have a part of me. The next day I met a cousin for breakfast. I took it and some other quilting things with me to show off to her. When she saw the basket it took her breath away. Before I could ask her if she wanted it...she asked if I could make her one. I gave her that one. Since, I made 2 more. One to use for whatever strikes me...and another even larger one with a matching lid to store fabric in. Such fun! Even if I am the only one who appreciates it. So today am finishing that up and then am making some doll clothes for my baby doll I got 51 years ago. Got a pattern back during the summer..but the mood didn't strike until last night. lol My family does not anything I might make so I'm good. No rushing to finish anything!!!! They all told me they don't want a quilt years ago...so that saved that anxiety to make them one. I am just enjoying my time.
