Show and Tell from last night's Repro Divas class. The project was Baskets, any Baskets. For me, this led to a new pattern called Amish Baskets, which is based on a larger antique quilt that I have wanted to reproduce for a long time (in a bedsize, so that is still to be done), with yellow feather stitch embroidery on all seams and a crocheted edging all around. It is also tied with string rather than quilted to add to the antique look. This pattern is 15x23":
Also, I followed Marcie Patch's Country Baskets pattern to make this version, to which I added a scalloped border. A fellow employee had this group of fabrics picked out while we were working last Saturday (the blue Regency III, bronze print from Bonnie Blue [I had to substitute a different bronze once at home], and black Bonnie Blue Basics, and I just had to make something out of that combo:

Baskets - what fun to see baskets everywhere. The rickrack handles are just delicious *s*
I LOVE when you post the LQ club projects! So much talent in your group. The scallops on your project are darling!
Great show n' tell! Love all the projects. I have to keep my printers covered too; my cats think it's a great place to sit and watch the goings on in the house. Too funny about the light. That Rembrandt sure is a character!
All those basket quilts. Couldn't be a better sight. I have wanted to make a bunch of basket quilts for a collection.
What a feast for the eyes! I love basket quilts and there are so many variations. Thank you for sharing!
Love all those beautiful little quilts in a reproduction style! Thanks for sharing the quilt show.
A tisket a tasket, I love your little baskets! Thanks for the show and tell. I have the apple core stamp of Cindy Blackgerg's. I didn't realize she had a basket stamp so I went over to her web site. All I can say is I may be in trouble!
