Easter Baskets, Part 2

My boys really did want me to make them Easter baskets, because the first thing that came out of their mouths when they came home from school was, "Where's mine?!".  So I let them pick out their fabrics (Except one son tried to have me use every single thing he liked...so I gave him a few choices).  Here they are, and it's a good thing I made them too because I couldn't find any of our Easter stuff from last year!



It looks like the bunnies are whispering to each other...


And guess what? Walmart finally came through for me with my rotary blades. Yay! So I now have the power to start cutting the pieces for my new quilt!

Happy Easter Baskets!




Yesterday I found this fun tutorial about making fabric Easter Baskets on a blog called Somewhat Simple.  If you want to check it out here it is.  I decided to make my baby an Easter Basket, but I actually used a different pattern I had from a magazine called "Sew-it...today".  It's on page 9 of Issue #9.  Don't ask me why I have it, I usually don't have magazines.  I didn't even think I was going to make a basket either, but they looked so cute on the Somewhat Simple blog that I had to give it a try.  Besides, I really needed to use some of my cute children's prints.

So first I thought I would make just one, since Easter is in two days...but then my 4 year old daughter wanted one too, so I though why not.  Now my two boys want one, and I don't know if I really have time now, but I'll see what I can do.  For now, I'm happy these are done, and they were really easy.  It maybe took 2-3 hours to finish these both.
