I’m a Basket Case!!

Yup, it’s TRUE…I’m a basket case…I love BASKET quilts!!  And I make no bones about it!  I sway every time I see a sweet basket quilt…and I have plenty of basket quilts on that looonnnnngggg ‘To Do List’!  WELL, I am about to add ONE more to that list!

Imagine my surprise and pleasure when Clubhouse Quilter Deb gifted me this Basket BOM…a BOM that she collected some years ago…and then it sat and sat until Deb cleaned out her sewing space…and then thought of ME!! 

P1210515

Deb’s generosity rendered me speechless!  Yes, speechless!  How did she know that I LOVED basket quilts?  I must have spouted off my big mouth last year!  And I am SEW glad I did!!

THANK YOU SEW MUCH, DEB!!  I can’t wait to tackle this project and do you proud!!

If I’ve said it once…I’ve said it a thousand times…(all together now…)  QUILTERS ARE THE BEST!

Looks like I’m off to Yucca Valley for more adventures with some of these wonderful quilters!  Stay tuned…the camera battery is charging!

Have a TERRIFIC Tuesday and Happy Quilting!~P

  2. Awe...that is truly sweet. I can't say that I have a love for basket quilts like you do, but I think they're very nice...maybe just not quite my style. I can't wait to see yours finished. =)
