Today's (start) and finish is a cute little project that you could probably make in less than an hour. Be warned, you MAY want to make about 100 of them. I know I want to!
I can't wait until my daughter comes home from school so we can squeal over the cuteness together!
It feels like another giveaway week. I will randomly select a few winners (from the comments and the links) to win their choice of 3 of my PDF patterns from my pattern shop, just as a thank you for reading and joining me for finish it up Friday!
Now, it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Have a great weekend! xo
Oh that is so cute - you're right, I do want to make a hundred of them and I love love love the measuring tape fabric tabs at the ends!
ReplyDeleteThat basket is so adorable!!! I think I will have to make one for sure ;)

ReplyDeleteOh, that is cute!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. The little measuring tape handles are so precious!
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute! I love the measuring tape handles!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't those be cute used as gift boxes? Need to figure out how to close them, but it would be fun to give a useful little box as part of the package!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute basket! Did you stitch fabric to the reverse of the selvage? Wondering how you avoided the raw edge and couldn't tell from the photo.
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun making mine yesterday! Love the selvage!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!!! (every time I open or close my box of clips, I grumble about what a positively STUPID design the box is ~ so a sweet little basket to hold them is perfect!)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I have 4 quilted placemats ready for binding to finish them up- better get to it!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! The handles are adorable!
ReplyDeleteVery cute little basket. I have to say I really llok forward to Fridays because of your Finish it up Friday posts. I love looking through all the links.
ReplyDeleteCute! I'm in the middle of some very dense quilting, so nowhere near a finish to post. Maybe I'll break off to make some adorable baskets or drawstring bags just so I can feel like i accomplished something!

ReplyDeleteaj, I just wanted to thank you for the time and effort you put into this linky party each week. We just lost one I used a lot for Wednesdays, and it made me realize how much I rely on linky parties. They are the lubricator that keeps my quilting moving along. I'm sure this community feels the same way, thank you.
ReplyDeleteOh this basket is great! I need something to collect my bits and pieces that are flowing around my sewing machine (you know spools, pincushions, scissors, clips, ...) and this looks perfect!

ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely! I am taking my first steps in quilting. Just got your scrappy weekend quilts book and have started my very first quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love your cute little basket. Yay for using more scraps! Thanks for the giveaway. wonderlust57@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThese baskets are really sweet. I make a similar one for friends as gifts which I then fill with whatever I feel like. Almost all of my friends have had these, or even a set of matching ones, but it occurred to me the other day that I don't have any myself so I need to rectify that soon as they are are fun and useful.
ReplyDeleteOh that is cute!! And how fun to count your scrap projects!
ReplyDeleteI'll be making some of these, they look perfect for just about everything that is laying around in a big mess on my table right now!
These are cute and I was thinking they might be a good favor for a wedding shower that I'm going to for my niece. I can so totally relate to 'squealing with your daughter'.
ReplyDeleteReally like the little measuring tape loops! How cute! I don't like to throw anything away at all. Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteMagnifique !! Est-ce possible d'en faire 100 !! Essayons avec 1 et puis on verra.
ReplyDeleteMerci pour le lien et l'idéé.

I bought some cloth tape measures off Ebay. They were cheap but until I started using them I didn't realize that the scale was wrong. 1" on the tapes actually measured 1 1/4" in reality. So I have a bunch of tape to use for handles. I might need to make a bunch of these just to use them up. :)
ReplyDeletethat is so adorable! I would squeal too :). definitely going to make me one.
ReplyDeleteooooh how cute! Going to have to make a couple of these - thanks heaps for the tute! <3
ReplyDeleteI love this little basket but even more, I love that you squeal with your daughter!! That made me smile!!!
ReplyDeleteI have being wanting to make on of these but just never took the time to look for the pattern. Thanh you.
ReplyDeleteJust so cute and handy to have. This is on my to do list! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and very useful. I love the handles!
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to make some of these lovely storage baskets - you always give such good incentives :)
ReplyDeletedefinitely squeal-worthy!!
ReplyDeleteHooray, this looks like a perfect little Christmas gift for my group of stitching pals! I'm going to start right away.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable basket. I'm up way too early (for me) today, so I think I will make one.
ReplyDeleteLove the basket! I think I could actually make it. Such a happy post as usual, thanks.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use the selvedge. I will have to remember that!
ReplyDeleteI finished my text quilt this week; really happy with the results.
Howdy, miss creative spirit! Thanks for brightening my morning. I have been feeling the AJ love. I pulled out one of my oldest wips and it Originates with you. It's part of my bigger project but now I find myself running upstairs to get one more seam sewn. Care to venture a guess??? Xo
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute wee basket! I can see where making these would be addicting. I haven't even made one and I already want a dozen!
ReplyDeleteAmanda Jean

ReplyDeletei love this little basket and can't wait to make one.
ReplyDeleteWow! This basket is just the project I need whilst recovering from an illnes and needing quick results. Already have 3 birthdays coming up which this project would be perfect for. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I are about to try and make that basket. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute basket and inspiration! This is the perfect project for putting some Easter goodies in and giving it to a few children in a local homeless shelter! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteA very squeal worthy finish to be sure!
ReplyDeleteI have a little basket like this, but more square, next to my machine. I use it for all the sewing garbage that accumulates like threads and trimmings.
ReplyDeleteI agree--total cuteness! I've checked out the tutorial and can see making several of these, too. I tend to make piles of things like basting pins and thread all over the place--so these are really going to clear up space. Thanks, Amanda Jean!
ReplyDeleteThe little bitty containers are so cute! I'm going to be making a few (100?)too! Snowing here today. Thanks for doing a giveaway too!

ReplyDeleteBeyond cute! Love that you used selvedge for the handles - totally see why you couldn't throw those out.
ReplyDeleteThought I might make it pass the weekend without making a pixie basket, but now I think resistance is futile. :o)
I am going to run and make my first Pixie Basket. Then I'm going to build a Pixie trap, trap myself a Pixie, and fill my home with Pixie magic! I think I'll name my Pixie Amanda Jean. Then I'll be able to sew at Pixie lightening speed!
ReplyDeleteThat little basket is eat up with cuteness. You have many patterns that I would love to possess and make. You know the age at which I can quit quilting is growing by leaps and bounds- I am up to 250 yrs, I think. poladydwd(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteLove the little basket. I can see a lot of those in my future (when I find the time).
