Bunnies in Baskets for Easter


Happy Easter!
A baskets full of bunnies. The "Bali Bowl" baskets I made in Rebecca & Ally's FVCS sewing class were the perfect complement to the hand knit cotton washcloths I'd been making in my down time. Just rolled up the cloths and tied with leftover yarn to make the bunny ears. Fun project. Hope my family likes their Easter gifts this year. I've given them so much pottery over the years that I thought other hand made crafts would be nice for a change. Always fun to try something new.

Easter Baskets



What can you make with scrap fabric and a cotton clothesline? Easter baskets! Here is my first attempt at "Bali Bowls" which I completed this evening. It was another great Four Valley's Community Schools (FVCS) class offered by the quilting duo of Rebecca Reichlin and Ally Goens. Inspired by their examples, I dusted off the old neglected sewing machine and tried my hand at sewing bowls. I chose to add handles to my baskets since Easter is this weekend. Talk about just in time : )
