It came this morning! I was in the mood for something quick, easy and functional is always nice too! Viola!! The Pixie Basket hit all three of my criteria.
Maybe the hardest part is picking the fabric. I had to go with Anna Maria Horner 'Echinacea'! This is going to be my new thread catcher, it had to be gorgeous!
From the second I started the first stitch, this basket took 30 minutes! Yep! You might be able to finish it quicker depending on your skill level...me, not so much!
I forgot that the majority of the print would be lost on the bottom! But it's a gorgeous color none-the-less!
It turned out really cute! So...you should go and make one for yourself! 30 minutes! Think of it as a warm up, muscle stretching start to your quilting for the day!
We all love a quick project! What is your go to quick and easy project?

Darling! Glad you enjoyed it too!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need a little kick start to your day, this is perfect for that!
DeleteI luv your analogy...and think this little project might be just what I need to kick start my weekend sewing��
ReplyDeleteI hope you make one, but especially hope you have a fun weekend full of sewing!!
DeleteThese are definitely on my list.
ReplyDeleteYay! They really are simple and quick! I could see filling them with all kinds of little things…a tiny gift basket!
DeleteI feel like it is confession time. I have never successfully completed a 3D project (purse, baset, ect) only 2D...quilts. But this is so stinking cute, maybe I will give it another go.
ReplyDeleteReally Tish??? This is so easy and the perfect project to learn with! You have to give it a try. Just one! My experience with making bags isn't good, I totally understand that!
DeleteHow cute is that!!! I pinned it for 'my' day when I need just a little something to do. I would make a cute basket to put a few treats in to give a friend for a 'pick me up'.
ReplyDeleteI had the exact same thought Vicki! These would be a wonderful gift basket filled with goodies! The pixie basket is so cute, fun and quick too!
DeleteI think even I could make this one. Do you think an 11-yr-old with some machine experience could manage this? I'll be spending a few days with GD over spring break and am looking for a project.
ReplyDeleteI think with your help and 11 year old could make this!! If I can, she can! Libby…you could easily make this Pixie basket!
DeleteCute! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw these all over Instagram a little while ago, but I thought they were too small to truly be useful, but now that I've seen yours, I think I have to make one... Or two!! Thank you for the inspiration and thank you so much for linking up at TGIFF.
ReplyDeleteThey are tiny, but even so there are uses for them! It works perfectly for a thread catcher and I can see making mini gift baskets with them as well!
Deleteoh I love a quick project! your photography is lovely too. and that echinacea fabric :) thanks for linking to tgiff!
ReplyDeleteEchinacea is my all time favorite fabric. I had to use it for my Pixie Basket! I always have fun playing with photography! You never know what you'll end up with playing with angles, shadows or projects!
DeleteWoo hoo! A finish in under 30 minutes?! If this wasn't already on my to do list, I'd be adding it. Looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love my little Pixie Basket! Plus I got to use my favorite AMH fabric…awwww…life is good!!
DeleteLove it!! I have that pinned to try. Good to know it's a quick project.
ReplyDeleteLook at you and all of these cute projects you're making! I just spent a bit of time catching up with your blog after a few busy weeks. I always love seeing what you're up to, Jayne. Great little thread catcher!!!
ReplyDeleteCute project with the fabrics here! I see this as a perfect key catch, jewelry dish, etc. How cute would it be to tuck some into Easter baskets?
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this. I could definitely use a little warm-up stretch in between projects. I envision cute little homes for jewellery and hair elastics.
ReplyDeleteThat is just too sweet! Will have to give it a try. Your fabric choices are terrific. ;-)
