Divided....

Yes, I am in another swap.  This one is the Fabric Basket Swap.  Here is what I made for my secret partner:

Front and back with a bit of a fluke fussy cutting!!
Yes, I made a Divided Basket from the awesome Noodlehead pattern.  If you buy one pattern this year, make it this one!  Brilliant pattern and all the while I was sewing it, I kept wondering how she can be so clever to come up with the method to sew this!!  I am in awe of her!

Anyways, back to the Fabric Basket Swap.  My partner wanted a "happy, lovely, flower, romantic basket".  Do you think this fabric fits that brief?  Hope so.  Pink isn't normally my thing but I've been making lots of things with pink recently (for other people I may add!).  Weird but somewhat satisfying at the same time!

I love making baskets and buckets.  Here are just a few I have made in the past:
A Cuppa and a Catch Up Nesting Bowls
Bucket pattern from 1/4" Mark
Basket pattern from Pink Penguin
A Cuppa and a Catch Up pattern
Hopefully my partner likes her floral basket so I can get it into the post!  If she doesn't, I have more fabric that I can make a another one.

    Love this divided basket Amy - by coincidence I bought this pattern last week after seeing it on Dandelion Liz's blog, which reminded me of other times I have seen it and coveted it. Gorgeous work x

    You are definitely a basket case (only kidding)! I think that your divided basket fits the bill to a tee. Good work. Di x
