Last Saturday I had the opportunity to take a class from the ever-so-lovely Anna of Noodlehead. She taught her divided basket class at the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild. It was wonderful to have a full day dedicated to sewing with few other distractions. You know it's bad when you have to take a class so you have time to sew! (hahaha!)
The divided basket is a fun pattern to sew up! I actually took my time for once, making deliberate decisions every step of the way--rather than trying to speed my way through things and try to make 100 of them. It was a nice change of pace! I also liked having sewing time with friends...my fabric choices were better because I had their input. It was a fun, fun day and I have an awesome divided basket to show for it. I'm already using it for scrap storage, which, I am sure, comes as no surprise!
I had a few other finishes this week, but they are gifts that I will be hand delivering when I am at quilt market in Houston (!!!) so I will have to wait to share them next week.
Now, it's your turn! Please link up your finishes. Thanks, as always, for joining me for finish it up Friday!
finish it up Friday, 10/24/14

I love these baskets too but have you ever made a pattern of Anna's that you didn't like?! Love all the fabrics you chose :-)
Very useful basket!
Thank you for the linky party!
Love the fabrics that you chose. I made my first Noodlehead Divided Basket for a baby gift over the summer. What a wonderful pattern. Lucky you to get to take a class with Anna!

Sounds like you had a wonderful sewing day, Amanda Jean. Your basket turned out so pretty! Love the dark background. It really makes those dots pop!
