Baskets galore!
I have always loved baskets of all shapes and sizes and they have also proved to be a popular theme for me when designing quilts. My all time favourite quilt which I designed and made some years ago was "Blooming Baskets" which was published as a project in Australian Patchwork & Quilting Vol 18 Nos 1, 2 and 3. When there is the odd cool night in Cairns this is the quilt I like to cuddle up with. It was made as a class quilt with different forms of applique and was a very popular class for me. "Baskets Bright & Beautiful" was a quilt I designed and finished a few months ago and is currently available as a kit from Cairns Craft Centre. I believe that no Baltimore style quilt would be complete without a basket block and this will be going into my quilt. I love using baskets for projects and once I had all my hand stitching WIPs in lots of different baskets until they became too numerous and I ran out of space. Baskets are great...
