Divided Basket

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE the Divided Basket by Noodlehead.  I think this basket is the perfect gift for many occasions.  
Having a baby?  You need this basket

A gift for someone special?  This one was for my sister in law, she picked the fabrics and is using it to hold tissues and wash cloths in her bathroom.

I love the happy spring colors in this one.  Could be an Easter basket!

Divided Basket

The measurements of this basket are approximately 13" length 8" tall 8" deep.  I use 3 layers of interfacing to keep the bag sturdy and standing tall.  I use either quilting cottons or japanese cotton/ linen blends.

For Brandy

When Brandy bunny came to live with me, I wanted to make her a special pad, for her to lay on in her cage.  I used some of my precious Japanese fabric charms I had from a swap.  Brandy is worthy of my Japanese stash.


I used 2 layers of batting and Japanese fabric on the back.  I like the thicker Japanese fabrics for something that I want to be sturdier than just quilting fabric.


I think she likes it.
Bunny approval


One of the things I did to organize my sewing room was go through my scraps


I had them all in a large bag and spilling out on the floor around the bag.  


I have 4 scrap buckets now, sorted by colors and one for solids.  Makes it a lot easier to find a small piece, rather than sorting through the whole pile.


What does this have to do with Brandy?  She likes to use them as a step to see out the window.


She will also jump up on my chair and get on the sewing table to see what I'm working on.
Everything warrants bunny approval
