Quilter's Basket

The basket is resting.


It is waiting for later use. This basket will be used when I make my quilt, because it is called the Quilter's Sewing Basket with dowel.


I prefer to call it the Quilter's Basket of Dreams since every time I pass its resting- self I dream of the quilt I shall make one day in the future.

In the meantime I will find some sort of use for it because nothing created for such purpose should be resting for too long.

I'm curious. What is the dowel for? I'm looking forward to seeing your quilt in the future.

Such a pretty basket! I'm not sure what a quilt basket is, but I hope to see it in use. The first thing that came to mind was a gift wrap and ribbon basket. You could put the rolls of ribbon on the dowel and carry tags, tape, and scissors to your wrapping station.
Thank you for your sweet comment on my picture. Christie took this one last Fall in our backyard. That is natural lighting from the sun going down.

The dowel is used for spools of thread and possibly little "snipping" scissors. It can be removed if desired.
