Wrapping - fabric baskets

A lovely book - which I took with me - knowing very well

that I would never start larger projects when the family is around

 
 
 
I made a plate - and took the photo under the sky - resulting in a blue colour
 
I used this awful fabric - I would never use it in a quilt
 
and cut it up in narrow strips
and the wrapping started
I do about 35 cm/15" of wrapping
and then the sewing - slowly from the middle
with a zig-zag stitch
I like the plate - the colour is something in between
the photos under electric light and real light in the shadow
And the next one.....
 
a little basket
I used scraps of this fabric which a very friendly lady, Isabelle, gave to me
and from the scraps I could tell that they were meant to be pants for a child

in the machine - it has to be bent to end up in a bowl shape

I made three knots on the rim

 

 
 

This fabric looks quite nice - but I was barbaric and cut it up

to make still another little basket

an oval shaped one ....


 

And this is my sewing place now - in the old French house which DH is renovating

the desk is used and was transferred to us by our son -

an old house is good to deposit many things which one doesn't like anymore.

The quilt on the walI I made years ago - the pattern is from Hanna Muehe
