Little Baskets




Finally finished sewing up this little top this week. I guess it's in the flimsy stage. Think I'll use it as a wall hanging for the month of May. Or a baby quilt.


I just love the little cute pink baskets. And I enjoyed sewing each one. I like that the blocks have different patterns and fabric placement. After trying one I had to sew more till I ran out of the pink fabric. And couldn't make any more.



Then I had to figure out what I could do with the blocks. I decided to set them on point so the baskets are all up right, and not to add any borders or setting blocks so the baskets would show up more. I had 2 blocks left over to add to my orphan block collection.

Vacation

Made it back from vacation. Thought I should post since it's been awhile. Here's a couple of pictures I took while we were in Utah. It had snowed the morning we drove through the higher elevations and the trees were just beautiful with the fresh snow falling off and the sun shinning bright. We had wonderful weather. The whole trip.
We spent 3 days going through Utah it was 20 to 50 degrees warmer then back home in SD were the highs didn't get above zero. Utah is beautiful we toured Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park this trip. Next trip I would like to spend more time and see some of the other parks. We spent a day in Las Vegas and then down to Mesa and the wonderful 8o degree weather they had while we were there. My husband and I both have brothers that live there and my in-laws also are there for the winter. We stayed a few days with each no one was left out.
