I'm back

I'm so glad I made it past that craft show! I've been taking it easy this week catching up on the housework and getting things listed on Etsy (still working on that actually). The show went pretty well although not as good as last year. It was worth my while for sure and now my Etsy shop will be stocked up.

Last year, my big seller was baby quilts but this year I didn't sell ANY baby quilts! weird. So the big seller this year was Kindle covers. You just never know! that's what makes these shows so nerve-wracking. Anyway, I had a great time and I'm sure I'll do it again next year. :)


I did make one thing this week, a Divided Basket for my sister-in-law's baby shower on Saturday.

I love, love, love how it came out!!!

And I knit up a simple cozy hat for the new little one too.

I'll be back soon to share some more quilts that I didn't have time to post before the show.

Divided Basket

Well this was a fun project!
I've been wanting to make this Divided Basket since I first saw it. The other day I found myself with a half yard of a very large scale print of Field Study linen and no idea of what to do with it (why oh why did I only buy half a yard!). I immediately thought I would make a bag but then that basket caught my eye when I was browsing through Anna's patterns (I've made the 241 Tote so I know how well written her patterns are).

As I was making this I started thinking it might be a great little item to sell at our local Etsy fall craft show.

The only thing I did differently from the pattern was use only the fusible fleece interfacing instead of that and the regular interfacing. I try my best to do as little interfacing ironing as possible LOL!

So fun and simple! I'm sure I'll be whipping up some more of these over the next few months.
