it doesn't take long to stitch these little lovelies ... just three colours... red, gold and green
add a couple of yum christmas prints, follow the tutorial on pink penguin's blog here
and morph it all into this... these little baskets are so cute...
here's the pattern - grab it and get started on your chrissy stuff
I'd love to see your versions so if you make one and post a photo, let us know and we'll all come visiting... put the kettle on, there'll be a few of us :-)
Remember yesterday's doings with the pretty bling things? I coloured some roses last night...
and stitched up a storm... it's looking pretty darn delicious
Verandah Views block 8 will be here tomorrow night because I'm busy on the 1st August
Thanks for the little stitcheries. I looked at these and printed them out last year thinking I would do them. I just kept looking at them over and over. I made a few of the little fabric baskets and gave as gifts but not with the stitcheries. I finally did the little stitcheries this past week and I enjoyed doing them so much. I finished the little basket last night but I learned alot from doing this one. I couldn't use all of the stitcheries because I put them too close together. Well duh, did I feel stupid. Oh well, I'll do it again and make sure I allow enough space. I so enjoyed these and just wanted to thank you for sharing these. I so enjoy your blog. Thank you so much, Linda

Too cute. I have made Pink Penguins little baskets and love them. These little stitcheries are so cute. Thank you so much for sharing. I plan on making at least one(for me) and if I have time, I'll make more to give. I gave all the little baskets away to my friends so I can be selfish this time. I love your blog...hugs, Linda
