I wish I were a better photo-taker. It's probably me and not the camera, though it could be my phone's camera that's not up to snuff. Anyway....
I finished stitching the outside of this basket probably in October before vertigo arrived. Now I'm auditioning flowers and their placement along with the stems and leaves. Everything except the basket itself may be moved or changed before being stitched in place.
This is the basket I've been trying to stitch for a few weeks. After it's finished, I'll audition flowers, stems and leaves.
The stitching on this basket is of somewhat lesser quality that my usual. Thank goodness no one will see the back after it's been quilted, and hopefully won't look too closely at the front, either.
These baskets will finish at 10" x 12".
I'm linking this post to Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts. Thanks for hosting, Kathy.
I hope you're having a good Sabbath!

P.S. This is just to say there are a total of four more baskets to finish, including these, lest anyone is getting as tired of seeing these baskets as I am.
I'm not tired of the baskets. I'm just happy that you're able to work on them. The flowers will look great and those little leaves look so happy.
ReplyDeleteThere's no quilting police here. I've always loved basket quilts, and yours is going to be lovely.

ReplyDeleteI’ve learned to use on OttLite folding task lamp for taking pictures of smaller projects – it seems to help with lighting. Such a cute basket! Are your flowers wool? Your stitching is fabulous! Is that needleturn on the basket? Wow!
