I had a bee meeting earlier in the week, hosted by my friend, Patty Bischoff. She taught us to make this cute liner to go over a plastic basket. It has pockets both inside and out. It was a bit complicated for me, since I'm used to making flat quilts, but it turned out well, I think. Note the grommet for the handle to go through - very professional, I think. Thanks, Patty, for the great lesson.
You know the drill, I couldn't buy anything to make it. I used yardage I bought in Paducah last spring at Eleanor Burn's tent sale. Everything there was $4 per yard! The navy with green splotches is a Kaffe Fasset woven. I didn't want to use up my batting, so it's filled with white felt that has been hanging around my studio for a year or so. I'm planning to use it for my hand sewing supplies, keeping them corralled when I'm stitching in the den or on the deck.
What did I do when I finished? I made another one! It was fun, but I think two is enough!

Hey Judy, Congrats on finishing your caddy. It looks great and even better it's "all green". I enjoyed the day too. Every time I teach, I learn from my students. - Patty
I haven't finished mine yet. Surprise, surprise
Just came by for a visit and to say thanks for dropping in on my blog!
Wow, my hat goes off to you...I have a hard time passing a quilt or fabric store.
Love the basket!
Oh boy! Patti's gonna have to teach me to make one of these.
