Still loving Anna's basket pattern.
Since I used quilting cotton for my baskets, I went with Anna's recommendation to use both fusible interfacing (I used Craft Fuse 808) and fusible fleece on the exterior pieces of the basket. It really gives the basket a lot of body. Another tip... I had a really hard time finding white cotton webbing for the handles, so I used fabric paint to paint the "natural" colored webbing that I was able to find. It worked really well, so I may use fabric paint again on future basket handles to coordinate the webbing with the fabrics.
I absolutely love these Easter baskets! Can't wait to see them all filled up on Easter morning.

Oh, your divided basket turned out so sweet, I love your fabric design. I did not realize you had started designing your own fabric. How exciting. I have purchased from Spoonflower before and have been very pleased.
So sweet! I love the tip about painting the webbing! That's genius.
Gwen, these are so cute!!! Thanks for sharing.
So cute, Gwen! Still loving on our fabrics, too :) After you posted the last one, I had a dream that I woke up and I actually had one of these baskets in every room. No kidding. Crafting has even taken over my dreams I guess ;)
I think the turquoise is my fave. Your girls are going to be delighted on Easter morning- by the baskets most of all~ especially since they love when you sew for them. :)

I agree with everyone else! I hope your girls enjoy their baskets. The teal is also my favorite. :)
Hi Gwen! I love your baskets and your fabric! Have you ever visited Mama She Crazy on Etsy?(http://www.etsy.com/shop/mamashecrazy) She has lots of cotton webbing in every color under the sun! Very reasonable prices and quick shipping! I love your blog and look forward to your new posts!!!
Ooo, what fun it must be to see your very own designs made up into something. They make a wonderful basket, Gwen!
Gwen, you really make the most adorable things. Love love love this basket! Hope your Easter was a wonderful one with your sweet family.
