I have had a very busy but non-productive day. I really dislike days like this. One of those days where I am just spinning my wheels trying to get something done. Every time I think I'm finally getting somewhere it magically gets another step further away. So ENOUGH! I'm going to take a few minutes to write this post and then see if the clock says 5:00 yet.
All of the blocks for my Shakespeare in the Park are complete. Yahoo, that to me means I can take a side step and work on something else.
Saturday I just couldn't wait and I started on the basket block that Lori Holt designed. She will be doing a sew-a-long starting pretty soon but why wait for that. Her basket was designed to look like a sewing basket with yarn in it. But with Easter coming up I saw it as a basket of eggs.
This is the first basket I made.
And here is basket number two.
And here is where I sashed and sewed them together.
And now I am stumped. I wish someone would tell me what to do with them. Apart they measure around 11 x 15? Together with the 1" sashing that makes them about 15 x 23? I can't remember exactly. My thought was that I would put a narrow round of white around them and a narrow green border then another white border?????????? They are too small on their own for anything. I don't want them exactly like everyone else's that does the sew-a-long so I'm not planning to put the (x) blocks around them. I'm just at a stand still until I make a decision. I'm actually leaning toward MAYBE doing some applique on the basket. It seems a bit large to me. But that may be too busy??? I do think they turned out great with all the polka dot eggs. But now what? Guess I should have waited for the sew-a-long. To find out about that you can visit Lori Holt's blog Bee in My Bonnet .
She has great patterns, books and fabric.
Enough procrastinating. I still have 15 minutes to get some work done.
