Day 6 {Giveaway} A Medley of Fun!

I know it has been a long, long week of giveaways!  And we are almost at the end of it! Hang in there...only one more day after today!

Today's offering is a fun, festive and frivolous concoction of goodness!  A virtual potpourri of trinkets, a medley of mayhem, a patchwork of things or as I like to say a 'gallimaufry' of gadgets! Actually I don't say that, but I saw the word and thought it was hilarious!



I always love getting little things.  Small bits and pieces.  Tiny treasures.  And that is exactly what this basket is full of.  Things!

The basket many of you might recognize, the Pixie Basket.  A super fun, easy and fast little project!  Perfect for those times when you want to sew something quick.  The pattern/tutorial is available here:  Pixie Basket Tutorial , courtesy of Fabric Mutt! 



I thought it would be cute using my meek stash of selvages.  So I set about making a panel that would accommodate the pattern and made the 'vessel' for the goodies! 

  

Thistle Flower Sugar from Lecien Fabrics scraptastic leftovers!  I made a quilt in 2015 for a little girl :: Finished and Loved using this bundle.  While the fabric is sweet as can be, it isn't me.  I know there is someone who would and could use these...please?!  the smallest piece is 4" x 6" and the sizes go up from there.



And the trinket part, a mini notepad, two (2) zippers, quilting needle pack, oil cloth coin purse, two (2) bobbin buddies and a small spool of Aurifil thread.  An assortment.



They always say:  good things come in small packages!  I'm going to agree with that statement!



You know what you gotta do now?!  Answer the question to be in the running to win!  

Here it is:

Quick Project ~ Pixie Basket

Are you looking for an easy and fast project?  Every once in a while we like to have a little distraction.  Something to give us a kick in the pants, jump start our day or get us out of a slump.  I believe I found the perfect solution!

Pixie Basket
2" x 3" x 4 1/2"
I first saw this the Pixie Basket on Debbie's blog: A Quilter's Table.  It looked adorable and promised to be simple to make.  With it filed away in my mind...I was waiting for the right time to pounce!

The pattern/tutorial is available here:  Pixie Basket Tutorial , courtesy of Fabric Mutt!  

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?
