Stitched in Color

on Our Way

While I am on my way to Greenville, SC today (after a busy morning homeschooling the little ones!), there is a little package on it's way to my most recent swap partner.

Modern Bits swap

I played along with the Modern Scrappy Bits Swap, because I can't resist the lure of scraps.  The few times I've received scraps from friends in the mail, it's been such fun to hunt through them.  And, when I use them, I totally remember!

Pink Penguin basket pattern

In this swap, we're exchanging scraps and a little handmade something.  Lucky me - my secret partner requested a fabric basket! I ran right over to Pink Penguin to use Ayumi's tutorial.

I hope these colors and fabrics suit my partner.  The little lovebirds always get me.  And, the basket is so very tiny.  I can't get over the perfection of it's size.  Thanks for a great pattern, Ayumi!

If you haven't found an excuse to need a tiny basket yet, let me help you out.  I'm thinking cutting waste, special scraps, baby toys, cat toys, doll clothes, play kitchen... Really, who doesn't need one?  I obviously do now.

Wishing us all safe journeys and happy adventures this weekend!
