With Easter quickly approaching, I thought decorating a basket would be fun. Any size or shape of basket will do.
**Cut circles in several sizes, do a running stitch around edge of each circle, pull thread to gather and stuff with a cotton ball. Tie off do not cut thread yet. Stitch the yo yo flower in place. Option: In place of attaching the flowers and yo-yo's to the side of basket handle (as pictured) you can add them around the rim of the basket.
As an option you can make a crazy quilted basket top. Crazy Quilted Basket Top
Trace the basket top and cut two pieces this shape out of cardboard and one from batting. Using 3M Super 77 spray adhesive, glue quilt batting to the top of the cardboard. CQ piece a block at least one inch larger than the cardboard shape. Embellish the block. Cut both the block one half inch larger than the batting covered cardboard and the lining fabric one half inch larger than the remaining cardboard. Using a light fine mist apply Super 77 spray adhesive to both pieces of cardboard. When tacky, center the fabric on the cardboard and wrap the edges to the back using your thumbs to help adhere the fabric. Join the 2 pieces of cardboard wrong sides together with a glue gun and glue sticks. |
