Day 8 of the Egg-ceptional Egg-xtravaganza
April 09, 2009
Well here we are, our last day, day 8, of our Egg-ceptional Egg-xtravaganz.
I'm sharing some photos of a fabric Easter basket I've made for Phoebe. [I have a basket for Emily half sewn and will share photos of that one when I'm finished.]
The idea for the fabric basket came from Liesl's disdressed blog, where she made a very cute Easter fabric basket with bunny ears.
I've made a similar box style basket. The handles of my basket are semi-circles of fabric. I have quilted both fabrics (the outside and lining) to give the fabric extra body.
The finished basket measures about 20cm square, which gives a very generous space for the Easter bunny to fill with eggs on Easter morning.
I finished the top edge of the basket with rick rack.
I loved this cute fabric for the lining of the basket. It is a Japanese fabric by Sevenberry. The brown fabric for the outside is a Michael Miller fabric called Espresso Pod Ditz.
One of my blog readers, Julie, asked about the girls bunnies. We still have Bubbles and Butterscotch, they are nearly six years old, which I believe is "getting on" in bunny years. I admit to being a bit slack when it comes to taking photos of our little darlings lately (that's the bunnies, not the girls). So this afternoon in the fading light, I quickly took some photos of beautiful Bubbles.
Bubbles is still very cuddly and loves a snuggle.
Butterscotch was reluctant to leave the hutch this afternoon.... I will have to try one the weekend to take a better photo of her.
I'd like to thank everyone for visiting my blog during our Easter Egg-ceptional Egg-xtravaganza. Mel and I have chatted abouthow much we've enjoyed sharing our Easter ideas. We're hoping to bring you some more crafty ideas sometime soon.
Have a happy Easter.
Cheers
